In the increasing gloom in which objects were now gradually becoming more and more indistinct, it was impossible for Captain de Haldimar to distinguish his features; but there was something in the outline of the Indian's form that impressed him with the conviction he had seen it before. Advancing a pace or two forward, he pronounced, in an emphatic and audible whisper, the name of "Oucanasta!"
The Moslem Archbishop had been emphatic and over-arrogant; the young prince was merely sulky at the curtailment of his privileges, but there was no need he should continue a correspondence which might some day compromise him. One letter indeed had been procured, but the finder was later found dead by the roadside in the habit of an Arab trader, as E.23, taking up the work, duly reported.
An hour later he heard that the Colonel was getting the best of it; the uncles were finally inclining to let the case go for trial. "The matter's settled," said the Colonel, sighing. "Enough." After this decision all the uncles, even the emphatic Colonel, became noticeably depressed. A silence followed. "Merciful Heavens!" sighed Ivan Markovitch. "My poor sister!"
To this influence our clay tablets bear witness by twice making emphatic reference to the days of the powerful “Manakhbiria”—the prenomen of King Thutmosis III. With the accession of Amenophis III. the warlike spirit ceased to prevail at the Court of Thebes. Nothing more was to be gained by Egypt in Western Asia, and the tastes of the new king lay in other directions than war.
These are the chief considerations which lead me to give an emphatic vote in favour of Sandwich when I am asked which is the best course that is to say, the best test of golf that is to be found in the British Isles, or elsewhere so far as I know, and I ask to be given no more favourable opportunity of studying a golfer's points, than to see him play a round or two over the St. George's links.
The hot, seething blood of these men the sons of a free city, and accustomed to a life of rapid action in hard work and frenzied enjoyment took the delay very much amiss; and when it was rumored that the doors were being locked, impatience and distrust found emphatic utterance.
"Oh, Mr Proctor, isn't it wonderful?" sighed good Miss Wodehouse. The Rector did not speak, but he answered by a very emphatic nod of his head. "It did not use to be so when you and I were young," said his companion in failure. "I sometimes take a little comfort from that; but no doubt, if it had been in me, it would have shown itself somehow.
The second of the points on which he was genuine and emphatic was common to the middle ages; a deep and somewhat snivelling conviction of the transitory nature of this life and the pity and horror of death. Old age and the grave, with some dark and yet half-sceptical terror of an after-world these were ideas that clung about his bones like a disease.
Reed was rather a stout woman; but, on hearing this strange and audacious declaration, she ran nimbly up the stair, swept me like a whirlwind into the nursery, and crushing me down on the edge of my crib, dared me in an emphatic voice to rise from that place, or utter one syllable during the remainder of the day.
You may imagine the laughter that ensued as she ended with that emphatic 'so there! laughter which could not be suppressed, although she plainly showed her anger at their behaviour; they could not help it, so flower-bells shook and leaves fluttered with mirth, even Quaker grass quivered with merriment.
