The two had taken to wandering by themselves in the gardens at all hours, a thing that had never been so before, and O'Moy detected, or imagined that he detected, a closer intimacy between them, a greater warmth towards the captain on the part of her ladyship. Thus matters had reached a pass in which peace of mind was impossible to him.
Much better, I say, is a flick with the iron than a thump with the mashie. The iron that I most commonly use is nearly two inches shorter than my cleek. It follows that the stance is taken slightly nearer to the ball; but reason for moving closer to our A line is to be found in what I might describe as the more upright lie of an iron as compared with a cleek.
The pursuers in the rear were drawing closer every instant. There was only one thing left. They were shut off in two directions, but off to each side "Come!" gasped Clif. And the sailors whirled about and followed him in the new direction. It was a hopeless hope, but it was not yet time to give up. And so for perhaps a hundred yards they raced on.
These personal services brought them into still closer relations, while their friendship was perhaps the stronger from their almost complete diversity of character. Unluckily for Athens, Socrates was not able to instil strong principles of virtue into the mind of the versatile Alcibiades.
But, curiously enough, the little bear seemed to be fully aware of his mother's presence, and, as she came closer, his excitement grew intense, and, calling forth all his strength, by one desperate push he broke open the door of his shed and trotted forth to meet his dying mother.

However," moving closer to Mrs. De Peyster, "our sister Angelica is married, and I am sure it will be a great pleasure to her to claim Mrs. De Peyster as her daughter. Angelica, my dear, of course you'll do it?" Mrs. De Peyster sat rigid, voiceless.
One day when all the fleet of fishing-boats was out for the herring fishery, and Kirwan among them, the fog came in closer and closer, and he was shut apart from all others. His companion in the boat or dory-mate, as it would be called in New England had gone to cut bait on board another boat, but Kirwan could manage the boat well enough alone.
I found that during my absence from Hampton the institute each year had been getting closer to the real needs and conditions of our people; that the industrial reaching, as well as that of the academic department, had greatly improved.
Yet as she crossed over her lonely threshold her thoughts were not even then for herself, but they carried her on the wings of prayer to the throne of mercy for the beloved boy from whom she was again to be separated for nearly five long months. The widowed mother wept; but the boy's spirits rose as he drew closer to the hills and to the sea, which told him that Saint Winifred's was near.
He laughed scornfully and said: That's all right, the friendships of men become closer as the years pass, but the friendships of you girls go up in smoke as soon as the first admirer turns up. What cheek. Whatever happens Hella and I shall stick to one another till we're married, for we want to be married on the same day.
