Again there was some cheering, in the midst of which Jonathan Jackson jumped to his feet beside Hepsey; and facing the room, with his arm through hers, he shouted: "Hepsey Burke and me will make up the difference!" Another cheer went up, and Hepsey's face flamed scarlet amid the craning of necks and chaffing laughter half puzzled, half understanding.
It was time to open the overtures which would establish Patrolman Switzer upon the basis of a better understanding of things. Mr. Leary, craning his neck in order to look rearward into the face of his custodian, spoke in a key very different from the one he had last employed. "I really didn't intend, you know, to resist you, officer. I had a private purpose in what I did.
Her heart had gone out to the child the moment she had seen her enter the school-room. She was as helpless before her as before a lover. She was wild to catch her up and caress her instead of pestering her with questions. "Ellen, you must answer me," she said, but Ellen sat still. Half the scholars were on their feet, reaching and craning their necks.
"Must be a full regiment in there," whispered Si, craning his neck still farther. The tramping and crashing increased. "Steady, men, I tell you! Steady! Press on the center," commanded the unseen Colonel. "Forward! Forward!" In spite of his perturbation, Si noticed that the sounds did not seem to be coming any nearer. "We must get a squint at 'em," he said, desperately, to Shorty.
As she did so, she was attracted by voices which seemed to proceed from out of a clump of trees. She stepped close to the spot from where the sound proceeded, and, craning her neck, looked over the thick laurustinus bushes, which enclosed a very tiny lawn or plot of grass.
To the left a large space was devoted to three or four bulky casks, and here an aproned drawer sat astride of a rush-bottomed chair, grinning delightedly and exchanging nods and winks from time to time with an impish, undersized lad who lay on his stomach on a wine-butt with his head craning forward over the edge.
"Hey dicker dick, My man fell smack; It was on Christmas Eve! I took a stick And broke it on his back, It was on Christmas Eve!" How hot all the candles made it, and how it all went to one's head! They had to open the door on to the gangway. And there outside stood the inmates of the garrets, listening and craning their necks. "Come inside," cried the boys.
I just know that's Fraulein." Fraulein it was. "You were not in the study hall, Miss Ashe," she said, craning her neck to see into the room. Blue Bonnet stepped outside and closed the door. "No, I wasn't. I was engaged." "You were excused?" "No I was not." "Then I shall haf to report to Miss North." The color came into Blue Bonnet's cheeks and her eyes flashed. "Do," she said.
With craning necks and horrified looks the birds alighted upon the branches, and between their screams would snatch off a cherry, as if the act was some relief to their outraged feelings.
Finally, when in Miss Martin's artfully tilted cheval glass, she surveyed the pink vision which was herself, gone, for the time, was everything of sadness in the world. She turned her head this way and that, craning to get the effect from every angle-the bouffance of the skirt, the rosebuds wreathing the sides, the butterfly sash in the back.
