But he did not stay to watch them land. One yellow face had craned over and looked at him, and for one enigmatical instant met his eyes.... It was then the idea came to Bert that he was altogether too conspicuous in the middle of the bridge, and that he took to his heels towards Goat Island.
No; doubtless she was acquainted with some easier and shorter path. However, here was the cliff-bastioned sea-front, and down there was the boulder on which she had stood like a statue in the moonlight. I craned my neck over the edge of the cliffs to catch sight of the entrance to her cave but in vain. Nor was there apparent any way of reaching it from above.
Over the fireplace, in a small, square case, a brown medal caught her eye, hanging from a strip of purple ribbon. Beneath was a slip of newspaper cutting. She stood on her tiptoes, with her fingers on the edge of the mantelpiece, and craned her neck up to see it, glancing down from time to time at the bacon which simmered and hissed beneath her.
While he was clawing after it it lay on the floor, where he had thrown it that morning because it refused to divulge some information he wanted he heard some one open and close the kitchen door, and came near kinking his neck trying to get up in time to see who it was. He failed to see anyone, and returned to the dictionary. The kitchen door slammed. He craned again.
Would the Japanese heiress be married in a kimono with flowers and fans fixed in an elaborate coiffure? Thus the ladies were wondering as they craned their necks to catch a glimpse of the bride's procession up the aisle; but, though some even stood on hassocks and pew seats, few were able to distinguish for certain. She was so very tiny.
To-day, in the midst of hilarity and all unannounced, “company” did appear. We subsided like a schoolroom when the teacher suddenly re-enters. A batch of women, escorted by one of the management. He gesticulated and explained. I could not catch his words, for the noise of the presses, though goodness knows I craned my ears. They investigated everything.
He's got two homesteads bought 'em off a crazy bird that had bought out both homesteaders. That's one of the shacks over there and the other one he uses for a cowshed. En thar's yer home a-settin' up on that bench of land." Davy craned his neck as the trailer moved down hill. Perched up on a shelf, he saw a yellow dot against a gray wall that ran to the sky.
Who the devil are they fighting with?" Mitchinson's eye had lost its lethargy. His scraggy neck was craned forward, and his grim mouth had relaxed into a grimmer smile. "It's them, sure enough," said St. John, and spoke something to his servant. "I'm going forward," said George. "It may be somebody else making a stand, and we're bound to help." "You're bound not to be an ass," said St. John.
She moved to the far end of the bridge and stood gazing up toward Merrion, where one light twinkled in an upper room. Mina saw her stretch out her arms for a moment toward the sky. What had happened? It was impossible that he had gone away! Mina craned her head out of the window, looking and listening.
I craned from the window. Smith grabbed my arm. "Don't lean out," he said. I drew back, glancing at him surprisedly. "For Heaven's sake, why not?" "I'll tell you presently, Petrie. Did you see him?" "I did, and I can't make out what he is doing. He seems to have remained standing at the gate for some reason." "He has seen it!" snapped Smith. "Watch those elms."
