I moved a little to the right, hoping to see her face, without her seeing me; but the slight movement caught her ear, and in a second she had sprung aside and turned toward me. The spell was broken. She was no longer the queen of an air-castle, decking herself in all the rainbow hues which pleased her eye.
Women, and many of them professors, try to satisfy this craving by decking themselves with gold and gems and fine array, with the plumage of birds and the skins of beasts. Men try to satisfy it in the pool-room, by plunging into the muddy waters of the political sea, or by accumulating money and by the follies of life.
After decking Helwyse for the sacrifice, he had murmured confidentially in his ear, "Hair, sir? or beard, sir? or both? little of both, sir? Just so. Hair first, please, sir. Love-ly morning!" And thereupon began to clip and coo and whisk softly about, in the highest state of barberic joy.
"Only the Church, in decking the temporary altars of the liturgical year, in forcing the seasons to follow step by step the life of Christ, has known how to trace for us a plan of necessary occupations, of useful ends.
And you say you " He went to pieces very suddenly, jumped up, pounded the legs of his chair on the decking, and shouted at me: "And you say that, you you landlubber, you office coddler!

The moon had risen and run its course, decking the old garden with a solemn beauty as of death, and was beginning to retreat before the dawn, when Julia slept at last. When she awoke it was broad daylight. A moment she gazed upwards, wondering where she was; the next a harsh grating sound, and the echo of a mocking laugh brought her to her feet in a panic of remembrance.
On the banks of the stream they came to a magnificent grove of bamboos of all sizes, some being as thick as a man's leg. "Here we have the means of building a house ready to our hands," said the doctor. "Perhaps they will assist also in decking over the boat."

He joins with them at their camp-fires ... rides with them on the road ... robs his store or house, or cracks his safe, then flies on, taking the blinds or decking on top of a "flyer."
