"To wander like a troubled spirit up and down her street. By the way, which is her street?" "Rue de l'Universite." My uncle took out his pocketbook and made a note, "Charnot, Rue de l'Universite." Then all his features expanded. He gave a snort, which I understood, for I had often heard it in court at Bourges, where it meant, "There is no escape now. Old Mouillard has cornered his man."
If cornered, he of course makes a rush for freedom, and in that case he downs any man who is in his way with a sweep of his great paw, but passes on without stopping to bite him. If while sleeping or resting in thick brush some one suddenly stumbles on him close up he pursues the same course, less from anger than from fear, being surprised and startled.
"He's in for it now, all right." It was a man who spoke. "What can Ben do?" It was a woman who asked the question. "He was given the chance to fight it out there and then, but he acted like a fool." "Ha, ha, Ben was cornered for once to-night. It needed a stranger to bring him to his senses." "Who is that man, anyway? I liked the way he behaved, and his playing was so nice."
The snake, shaken by the tumult above, wavered and stopped. As a rule, a rattlesnake, conscious of his defense, makes a good fight; but here the conditions were unusual and confusing. On level ground, where he could have coiled, and where his sensitive under surface could have slid comfortably over smooth earth, he would not have shirked combat when cornered.
Did he go he would repent, wearied and ennuyé, watching Evelyn, all rose-colored, moving with another through the minuet; tied himself perhaps to some pert miss, or cornered in a card-room by boisterous gamesters, or, drinking with his peers, called on to toast the lady of his dreams.
Reginald was ready to faint, and looked towards the open window as if he meditated a headlong escape that way. As to any other way of escape, that was impossible, for he was fairly cornered between the enemy and the wall, and unless he were to cut his way through the one or the other, he must sit where he was.
I'm going to arrest one of 'Gink' Cummings' lieutenants. The man I'm after is 'Big Jim' Hatch, a notorious bunko swindler, and I've got him cornered but he doesn't know it. "Hatch is Cummings' pal. They have known each other for years and worked together.
From the glint of the raised weapon he bounced backward against the rail, where he leaned incoherently snarling like a cornered dog. "Hi didn't sign as no blymed stoker," he growled at last. "Hi won't go " "The stokehold or hell, it's up to you." Coulter's reply came in an absolute monotony of voice strangely at variance with the passionate stress of their labored breathing.
I offered to go out with a dozen men and scour the range, but he wouldn't hear of it that was before he was cornered at Taloona." "Don't you worry," Brennan replied. "The sub-inspector knows what he is doing." He passed away from the group and the men turned to Gale. "That's what I don't follow," one of them said. "The chap must be hiding somewhere with that white horse of his.
The following day news came through that the Imperial Light Horse and the Natal Carbineers had been engaging Kemp before and since dawn; almost cornered, he was making a final dash for the border to get into German South-West. It was an anxious time; each minute brought a fresh rumour as to the fighting and the thousands of men Kemp had got together for his desperate move.
