By and by, the moon oozed round from behind the house and leaked through the trees and I could see them plainer, two silhouettes against the foliage of some bright lilac-bushes. Joe hadn't budged, but the back of Miss Rainey's head wasn't toward me as it had been before; it was her profile. She was leaning back a little, against a post, and looking at Joe just looking at him.
For whole hours the fingers of the clocks never budged, and even then they would show an advance of only a minute or two. "Is this the train for London?" he asked an inspector at 11.35. "Can't you see?" said the inspector, brightly. As a fact, "Euston" was written all over the train. But Arthur wanted to be sure this time.
I got my bicycle, my watch, and my father's mackintosh out of pawn and rented a typewriter. Also, I paid up the bills I owed to the several groceries that allowed me a small credit. I recall the Portuguese groceryman who never permitted my bill to go beyond four dollars. Hopkins, another grocer, could not be budged beyond five dollars.
I said to him: "Well, Joseph, where did you come from this time?" "From the same place the mountains in Alsace. We've not budged for nearly two years." "How long are you going to stay there?" "To the end of the war, I imagine." "But why?" I asked. "What can we do, madame?" he replied. "There we are, on the top of a mountain. We can't get down. The Germans can't get up.
Dolly Venn was still curled at my feet. Seth Barker I do not believe had budged an inch the whole time I was reading. The story gripped them like a vice and who shall wonder at that? For, mark you, it might yet be our story. "Peter," said I, "you have heard what Mme. Czerny says, and you know now as much as I do. I am waiting for your notion." He picked up his pipe and began to fill it again.
Fontan thereupon, knowing how it had all gone off on the first occasion the prince and Nana met, told the two women the whole story while they in their turn crowded against him and laughed at the tops of their voices whenever he stooped to whisper certain details in their ears. Old Bosc had never budged an inch he was totally indifferent. That sort of thing no longer interested him now.
The knight took a firm grip on the steering peg, and reprimanded his squire for squeezing him. He told him there was nothing to worry about, for it seemed to him he had never in his life ridden a steed that was so easy-going: one would hardly think they had budged from their original place, he said. When Sancho had calmed himself, he concurred in this opinion.
It was very dark, and only by a fortunately placed lantern she could see a bit of the dark wharf and one of the posts belonging to it, from which the lantern never budged; so at last, quieted or tired out, nature had her rights, and she slept. It was not refreshing rest after all, and Fleda was very glad that Mrs.
Count Saxe bowed to his saddlebow, and his eyes did her homage. A little farther on we passed the great Hôtel Kirkpatrick. At the sound of our horses' hoofs clanging, Madame Riano came out on her balcony to see us. She waved at Count Saxe her great green and gold fan, without which she never budged, and actually laughed in his face and shook her head derisively when he bowed to her.
He was at first astonished, then much dissatisfied, and ended by making himself very merry over the discomfiture of the chief of police, General Savary; and said many times that had he been at Paris no one would have budged, and that he could never leave at all without every one losing their heads at the least disturbance; and from this time he often spoke of how much he was needed in Paris.
