Coming to the close-drawn curtains, I saw heavens! No wonder the people laughed. The murdered Desdemona had risen, was evidently sitting on the side of the bed; for beneath the curtains her dangling feet alone were plainly seen, kicking cheerfully back and forth.
Ilderim clasped the beard overflowing his breast, and gazed at the speaker with eyes faintly twinkling through the shade of the heavy close-drawn brows. "In the next place," Ben-Hur continued, "I am an Israelite of the tribe of Judah." The sheik raised his brows a little. "Nor that merely.
So engrossed was she in fallowing the fortunes of her knight that she failed to notice the growing disapproval of Endicott, who sat frowning and silent by her side. Failed, also, to notice that as Purdy's attentions waxed more obvious she herself became the object of many a glance, and lip to ear observation from the occupants of the close-drawn vehicles.
When he looked up Colonel Troup stood pale and silent before him pale with close-drawn lips and a hot, fierce, fighting gleam in his eyes. "You've explained it, sah " he said. Then he fumbled his pistol in his pocket. "Now now, give me back my promise, my word. I have two thousand dollars at stake, and and clean sport, sah, clean sport. Give me back my word." "Sit down," said the old man quietly.
The candles were yet unlighted, but the cheerful flickering light produced by the combustion of three or four logs of sheoak, topped by one of dead gum, shone most pleasantly on the wellordered dining-room, on the close-drawn curtains, on the nicely-polished furniture, on the dinner-table, laid with fair array of white linen, silver, and glass, but, above all, on the honest, quiet face of Sam, who sat before his mother in an easy chair, with his head back, fast asleep.
She went without saying good night she knew her father would come to her room that last evening. George had not yet come in; and Gratian was left alone with Pierson in the drawing-room, round whose single lamp, in spite of close-drawn curtains, moths were circling: She moved over to him on the sofa. "Dad, promise me not to worry about Nollie; we'll take care of her."
I was to be burned at the stake in proper savage fashion. But Richard Jennifer what had become of him? A sound, half sigh, half groan, told me where to look. Hard by, bound to a tree as I was, and so near that with a free hand I could have touched him, was my poor lad. "Dick!" I cried. He turned his head as the close-drawn thongs permitted and gave me a smile as loving-tender as a woman's.
The wild mystery of that outer night, excluded by the close-drawn curtains, contrasted strongly with the light and the warm comfort of the cabin with its snug berth, its aluminum furniture, its shining walls where were affixed charts and maps, rules, photographs. Under the clear, white light, Rrisa anxiously studied his master's face.
Gloria knew it by its sad whisper and by the faint taste of it and smell of it, through her close-drawn veil. On she went, down the Corso, till she came to the Piazza Colonna, and saw far on her left, beyond the huge black shaft of the column, the brilliant lights from the French officers' Club. She hesitated then, and slackened her speed a little.
The stillness, and the strange fact of the close-drawn curtains embarrassed him. His heart beat violently. He looked around, and remarked her dress and all her wedding-ornaments lying around him, with a graceful air of negligence, in various parts of the room. With a faltering voice he called upon his bride by name.
