She has brought her knitting no frivolous fancy knitting, but a substantial woollen stocking; the click-click of her knitting-needles is the running accompaniment to all her conversation, and in her utmost enjoyment of spoiling a friend's self-satisfaction, she was never known to spoil a stocking. Mrs. Patten does not admire this excessive click-clicking activity.
Immediately he was enveloped in a light linen robe, a towel was tucked in round his neck by deft caressing fingers, the soothing murmur of a voice was in his ear, and presently sounded the click-click of shears. The descendant of the Vikings closed his eyes and felt comfortable. The peculiar color and luxuriance of Balder's hair and beard were marked attributes of the Helwyse line.
Pierre, who had thus spent his first sane and conscious hour in many days, fell asleep. What time it was when he waked he was not sure, but it was to hear a metallic click-click come to him through the clear air of night. It was a pleasant noise as of steel and rock: the work of some lonely stone-cutter of the hills. The sound reached him with strange, increasing distinctness.
I shall never reach your class, though, Tim." "Oh, shucks!" said Tim, "slash in, don't be afraid." Cameron slashed in. "Click-click," "Click-click-click," when lo! a long blank space of drill looked up reproachfully at him. "Oh, Tim! look at this mess," he said in disgust. "Never mind!" said Tim, "let her rip. Better stick one in though. Blanks look bad at the END of the drill."
She was clasped in the arms dear, cuddly arms! of her friend. What laughter, tears, and chatter there were! "But we must go home," said Miss Drayton, presently. "Pat will be there now. We'll come back to see your cousin." As they entered the hall, they heard from above the click-click of dumb-bells. Miss Drayton put her finger on Anne's lips, and they tiptoed into the cozy sitting-room.
He, indeed, gave her and her sister his heart, but his mind was already gone, rapt from him by the adorable pirate who fought a losing fight with broadswords, two up and two down click-click, click-click and died all over the deck of the pirate ship in the opening piece.
"And in the end," he concluded, "I think we shall have told the world in a rather effective way that the air must be free for the important messages; that Uncle Sam has the right of way in the air as well as on land or sea and that he has ways of defending those rights." At that they turned over, to lie there listening to the click-click of wheels over rails until sleep claimed them.
The room was completely dark, and I did not know whether it connected with other rooms or was a mere closet, but the freshness of the air in it inclined me to the former view. Over my head the torrent roared, and I had to stand very close to the door to hear what passed. I heard Leroux tramp in and his voice mingling with the click-click of the ball in the roulette-wheel.
"All right, Timmy, my son!" replied Perkins with a laugh, "tell them you won't need no hot bath; I'm after you." "Click-click," "Click-click-click" was Tim's only answer. It was a distinct challenge, and, while not openly breaking into racing speed, Perkins accepted it.
That door was never closed. Click-click! Click-click! The mystery was close at hand. He moved forward. He wanted to get as close as possible to the fireplace. He peered in. The fire was all but dead; only the corner of a log glowed dully. Suddenly, the glow died, only to reappear, unchanged. This phenomena could be due to one thing, a passing of something opaque.
