Some such crossing of his far-away ancestry, it would seem, had given a greater length and a crisp wave to Bobby's outer coat, dropped and silkily fringed his ears, and powdered his useful, slate-gray color with silver frost. But he had the hardiness and intelligence of the sturdier breed, and the instinct of devotion to the working master.
After a breakfast of eggs that had been a powder, Lester and he were at the diggings, sifting dust for the dropped and discarded items of an alien visitation. Thus Frank's job began.
Such land is mentioned as having been "given and assigned in accordance with a resolution of the people and the plebs," and all eases in which recent colonial laws had been repealed or dropped cases which would include Caius Gracchus's threatened partition of the Campanian territory are tacitly excluded.
Poggio, as I have said, writes in a disappointed tone of his researches here, but these were neither long nor exhaustive. We have better testimony from John of Salisbury, who in the twelfth century quotes parts of the Saturnalia of Macrobius which have dropped out of all the MSS. we now have.
But when he reached the door he locked it, and dropped into a chair, facing the mirror in his dresser. The reflection of his own face was a shock to him. If he was pale, the dust and grime of his fight in the cavern concealed his pallor.

They dropped from the tree, scrambled up the hill past where the white mist was fading, and dashed across the cornfield. "Hurry!" Scotty exclaimed. "I'm hurrying," Rick assured him, but made his legs go faster.
He had never heard her mention anybody's name but then she had not told him everything; He had dropped his eyes again, finishing the drain and flattening the boughs under her, to make the seat the easier. "Oh, some old woman, perhaps, like dear old Mrs. Mulligan." There was no coquetry in her tone. She was speaking truthfully out of her heart. "Anything more?"
Another soldier, taking notice of the success of that washing, decided to do even better, so he gathered all the underwear, he had with him, except those he had on, and dropped them down in the basin. He used the stick, but only to push them about with, and alas! did not fasten them to it.
I seemed to be the only human animal upon the earth. A hungry osprey circling in the sky dropped as a plummet, struck the water and, after a momentary struggle, arose with his fish, ingeniously holding it head-foremost to facilitate flight. From another point now came a scream, well known to me, and I turned to see an eagle approaching with tremendous speed.
