Like the little foot-page of old ballads, John "let down his feet and ran," ran determinately on, down the now less precipitous slope- ran till he was beyond the trees, with the summer sun beating down on him, and in sight of figures coming out from the hotel to the carriage. Johnny scarce ventured to give one sigh. He waved his hat in a desperate hope of being seen. No, they were in the carriage.
The mantel and its supports were of richly carved woodwork. These, too, must be searched. In the first place, however, she had to carry out her work; and laying aside determinately all thought of the missing will, she began to dust and sweep. At the end of an hour, when she happened to turn round, she saw Miss Penfold standing in the doorway.
In such a frame of mind, requests are but another name for commands; and thus it happened that a second change arose upon the first, even more determinately fatal to the young Schiller's happiness.
The term Angro-mainyus has now become a proper name, and designates the great spirit of evil as definitely and determinately as Ahura-mazda designates the good spirit. The antagonism between Ahura-mazda and Angro-mainyus is depicted in the strongest colors; it is direct, constant and successful.
"I will not wait another minute," cried the postilion, determinately. "get in, or I shall start without you." "Show me your passports, and then get in," cried Niclas.

They were alike vain, she steadfastly refused to grant it except on the conditions she had named, and which he determinately rejected and insisted being left free to pursue her homeward way. He grew furious, and at length with a shocking oath released her bridle, but at the same instant struck her pony a severe blow upon his haunches, with a stout stick he held in his hand.
But at length the day came when Filomena, having been betrayed into a very mild copy of one of her old storms of temper, would suddenly catch herself up and walk determinately out of the back door till she grew cool: and when she came back would lay her hand upon her husband's shoulder, and say "Dan, old man, I'm sorry I was bad to thee. Forgive me!"
"Also," he went on determinately, "there is the larger question of right and wrong involved. Is it right for me to step aside and let an organized system of graft and thievery go on unchecked? I know it exists; I have evidence enough to go before a grand jury. I'm not posing as a saint, or even as a muck-raker; but isn't something due to the people who are paying the bills?"
"No!" said Maxine, with eyes fixed determinately upon the lights of the city; while somewhere above her in the cool, clear starlight, a hidden voice her own, and not her own whispered a subtle 'Yes! The universe is compounded of the miraculous; but love is the miracle of miracles. Again the impossible had been contrived; again Maxine and Blake were standing together on the balcony.
