During the time it lasted, we invariably found that the house was cooler than the open air, and that in proportion as the wind was excluded, was comfort augmented. But even this heat was judged to be far exceeded in the latter end of the following February, when the north-west wind again set in, and blew with great violence for three days.
Her hands were clenched till the nails entered her flesh, her eyes rolled wildly, and, were I more easily frightened, I would have felt impelled to call for help. Gradually becoming cooler, Mrs. Quintin unfolded to me her plan for deceiving her husband, and, with a coolness that I would not have pardoned but for her evidently unhinged condition, actually requested me to assist her?
In a few seconds he was dragged ashore almost insensible. Example, whether good or bad, is infectious. Another strapping young fellow, stirred to emulation, ran forward, and, seizing the rope, tied it round his own waist, while they helped poor Bill up the beach and seated him on a sand-bank. The second youth was more powerful than the first and cooler.
And within sight, off on the hillside, is a great, green pasture, with other colts and lambs sporting gayly about, and the summer sunshine over all except in the corral, over which a dark cloud hangs.

In short, the broil had just reached that pass when another blow, struck from either side, must have given up the vessel to plunder and massacre.
Thereupon the servant came into the room, and Sir Hugh, in an angry voice, desired him to open the front door. "Yes open vide," said Sophie, who, when anger came upon her, was apt to drop into a mode of speaking English, which she was able to avoid in her cooler moments.

She was beginning to be impatient and uneasy, fearing some mischance that might delay her dreaded yet longed-for meeting with Low.
