"Noo," said Malcolm, "we come to the question what the twa limmers could want wi' that door." "Dear kens! It bude to be something wrang that's a' 'at mortal can say; but ye may be sure o' that I hae hard tell," she went on reflectingly "o' some room or ither i' the hoose 'at there's a fearsome story aboot, an' 'at 's never opent on no accoont.
Altogether a fearsome crew to have to do with! Segna belonged to the Counts Frangipani, whose eyrie was fixed at Castel Muschio on the island of Veglia. It is near the northern end above a wide bay on the sea side of a broken plateau, partly crowned with fortress-walls, in front of which a few houses sparkle white in the sun.
The hotel was in a fearsome uproar when Vava fell into a tantrum, women patrons afraid of his possible actions and men threatening to club him into a mild frame of mind. I doubt if any one there could have subdued him physically, for he was a thick-bodied man in his thirties, with a stamina and a strength incredibly developed.
It was in this palatial dwelling that little Edgar Gray Doe awoke to a consciousness of himself, and of many other remarkable things; such things as the broad, silver mouth of the Fal; the green slopes, on which his house stood; the rather fearsome woods that surrounded it; and, above all, the very obvious fact that he was not as other boys.
Job's Leviathan appears to have been a more fearsome and powerful beast than the elephant, but in India the elephant is taken as the symbol of wisdom, and when an Indian boy goes in for a municipal examination, he prays to the elephant-god for assistance.
Truly I should know something of these hills and brooks and forests that we now traversed, and of the silent, solitary roads that crept into the wilderness, penetrating to distant, lonely farms or grist mills where some hardy fellow had cleared the bush and built his cabin on the very borders of that dark and fearsome empire which we were gathering to enter and destroy.
Romance, adventure, strange peoples, fearsome beasts all the excitement and scurry of the lives of the twentieth century ancients that have been denied us in these dull days of peace and prosaic prosperity all, all lay beyond thirty, the invisible barrier between the stupid, commercial present and the carefree, barbarous past.
The fight was about to begin when Billy got there, and the herald was crying out how the champion would fight the dragon for the princess's sake, when suddenly there was heard a fearsome great roaring, and the people shouted, "Here he is now, the dragon!" The dragon had more heads than the biggest of the giants, and fire and smoke came from every one of them.
There are few men, I suppose, whose lives have been crowded with so many eerie happenings as mine, but this phantom thing which grew out of the darkness, which seemed about to envelop me, takes rank in my memory amongst the most fearsome apparitions which I have witnessed. I know that I was frozen with a sort of supernatural terror.
He's a limp rag... Tie him up." Daubrecq, in fact, was bending in two and falling on his knees like a disjointed doll. Under the action of the chloroform, the fearsome brute sank into impotence, became harmless and grotesque. The Growler and the Masher rolled him in one of the blankets of the bed and tied him up securely. "That's it! That's it!" shouted Lupin, leaping to his feet.
