Distant thunders rumbled and muttered, and flashes of the broadest sheets inclosed fork and chain lightning; the lift-fire zigzagged in tangled skeins here of chalk-white threads, there of violet wires, to the surface of earth and sea.
He uttered an inarticulate cry, but she ran on unheeding, her eyes wide and glowing like coals, her lips chalk-white. "You see, it's time I stopped such foolishness, anyhow, for I'm to be married on Sunday." "You are going to be married?" he muttered, laboriously. "Yes, to Poleon. Why, that's been understood for years." He whirled upon the Canadian in a fury, and his words came hot and tumbling.
From that auspicious opening in the morning when the clouds seemed to dissolve for the express purpose of allowing a fresh-washed sky to enter into the color scheme of the beautiful picture blue dome, chalk-white and sea-green war-ships, green and blue and white-edged little seas until that last moment at night when the last call on the last ship was blown and to its lingering cadence the last unwinking incandescent of the fairy-like illumination was switched off, leaving the hushed and darkened fleet riding to only the necessary anchor lights on the motionless, moon-lit sound who witnessed it all might not doubt the existence of that spirit which in conflict makes for more than thickness of armor or weight of shell.
"Yes; that's the trouble with it." "I can see Chic coming down the aisle now, with his face chalk-white and " "Don't," she broke in. He looked down at her surprised that she herself was taking this so seriously. "My comrade," he said, "what you need is to play a little." "Yes," she agreed eagerly. "Then where shall we go?

"Now you've got to get him up," said the sergeant to the two guards. Fuselli walked away. "Ain't some people damn fools?" he said to a man at the other end of the barracks. He stood looking out of the window at the bright sheets of the rain. "Well, get him up," shouted the sergeant. The boy lay with his eyes closed, his chalk-white face half-hidden by the blankets; he was very still.
It is a tubular network swollen with a powdery matter which condenses into minute chalk-white spots, standing out very plainly against a transparent background. When crushed in a drop of water, a fragment of this fabric yields a milky cloud in which the microscope shows an infinite number of opaque floating atoms, without revealing the smallest blob of oil, the sign of fatty matter.
Olive went chalk-white with anger. She had not travelled the long journey to Wiesbaden to be fooled in this way. The ground had been cut from under her feet by Elaine's most unexpected attitude, and the situation needed some drastic counter-move on her part. "A pretty story!" she retorted. "If you imagine your childish bluffing would deceive me, you've a lot to learn yet!
Panic, chalk-white, staring panic-fear, swallowed her up: the next few hours flew by as minutes, while she was cowering and gibbering in a corner. Before the inevitable you either resign or rave yourself mad there is no middle course. Bellaroba took the first.
Then, raising his eyes and looking at her squarely, he said what he had come to say; "I have I have just been to see Dalton, Becky." A wave of red washed over her neck, touched her chin, her cheeks.
