Who can it be on the river in such a storm as this?" And just then the rain swept down, forcing them to retreat a few steps within the cabin. But still they peered forth, and with fast-beating hearts watched the approaching voyager. Whenever a glimmering flash revealed the canoe, it resembled a mystic bark riding through the storm, encircled with a living fire.
Presently, I began to watch a young man near me whose face was very familiar. Finally, I rose, and with a fast-beating heart said, "Steerforth, won't you speak to me?" He quickly glanced up, but there was no recognition in his face. "My God," he suddenly exclaimed, "It's little Copperfield!" Then ensued a violent shaking of hands, and a volley of questions on both sides.
If the boy was to be rescued it must be downstream somewhere, always supposing the cake of ice hung together and that he managed to retain his place on it. Jerry thought rapidly with fast-beating heart.
Her equanimity at all seasons was like a Turk's, and she would not have admitted that anything mortal had power to upset or excite her: nevertheless it was a fast-beating heart that she now bore beneath her Sunday jacket. Great events, she felt, were on the eve of happening, and of them she was a part. Dickson's anxiety was hers, to bring things to a business-like conclusion.
"Now or never now or never!" said Rachael's fast-beating heart. She was pale and breathing quickly as he came in. But Clarence, sick and headachy, did not notice these signs of strong emotion. "Clarence, I need some money," Rachael said simply. "What for?" he asked unencouragingly. The color came into his wife's face.
His feet light with moccasins, he even ran a distance, enjoying the glow from a fast-beating pulse. As he came into the high-road, people passed him in carioles and sleighs. Some eyed him curiously. What did he mean to do? What object had he in coming to the village? What did he expect? As he entered the village his pace slackened. He had no destination, no object.
I always thought she was terrible curious about how things went on here." "P'raps they're married a'ready," hazarded Minty dismally. The pompadour wavered almost to its fall in the start Mrs. Lem gave. "Araminty Foster, how could you have such a thought at your age!" However, the housekeeper's fast-beating heart suddenly accepted the probability of the suggestion. "Leggo my shoulder, ma."
"We will talk of Fluff presently. But it so happens that my letter was of importance. Father, you remember Philip Arnold?" "Arnold Arnold? Dimly, my dear, dimly. He was here once, wasn't he? I rather fancy that I heard of his death. What about him, Frances?" Frances placed her hand to her fast-beating heart.
He started off at a rapid gait, his white burnous tossing on his shoulders, and with fast-beating hearts Guy and Melton came close behind. In five minutes they turned into another narrow passage running at right angles, and, continuing along this for forty or fifty yards, made still another turn.
In the rear, a small garden is protected from the uncultivated life of the hillside by a fence of close-set pickets. Across the front of the curious structure, well out on the projecting point of rocks, and reached only through the interior, a wide, strongly railed porch overhangs the sheer wall like a balcony. With fast-beating hearts, the two small adventurers gained the top of the stairway.
