"Mister," he put a note of genuine sympathy into his voice "how'd you come t' lose your eye?" "My eye?" Grandpa's habit again. "Wal, this is how" He frowned with the eye he had left, and pursed his lips till his mustache stood out fearsomely.

The prisoner, who sprang up from a chair and curtsied fearsomely at the astonishing spectacle of Mr. Prohack, was fat in a superlative degree, and her obesity gave her a middle-aged air to which she probably had no right by the almanac. She looked quite forty, and might well have been not more than thirty. She made a typical London figure of the nondescript industrial class.

Marilla lighted a candle and told Anne to follow her, which Anne spiritlessly did, taking her hat and carpet-bag from the hall table as she passed. The hall was fearsomely clean; the little gable chamber in which she presently found herself seemed still cleaner. Marilla set the candle on a three-legged, three-cornered table and turned down the bedclothes.

Engaged to be married! That was all any one could make of it. All the agreeable iniquity had been extracted from the affair. It was fearsomely respectable. And it was deadly serious. How had he got into it? And yet he had always felt something ominous in that girl's look. And there would be a row "back there." Julia would make the row. And Jim.

Then, still speaking, but fearsomely animated, he clutched frantically, but always a leetle behindhand, at the unknown monster which now reached the imprisoning neckband. Here he tore at the button the divine, not the newt and broke it free!

He pulled the lad's body around so that he could see his face in the smoke-dimmed light. "What about him, Jasper? He's safe, isn't he?" The white face shook from side to side. "What does he say?" cried Grafton. "Whipple? Isn't he down? Where is he?" "He must be !" Kenneth paused, his own face paling, and looked fearsomely toward the stairs down which the gray-brown smoke was floating wraithlike.

At the crest of the next hill she looked up, saw herself the apex of a rapidly shortening triangle, and grasped instantly the situation; she had peeped admiringly and fearsomely between the stout rails of the little, round corral too often not to know Denver when she saw him, and in a panic turned from the trail toward Chip.

Better a tap on the head than a cry in yonder pool." They replied fearsomely the strain was telling upon them badly. That much I learnt from their husky voices and the way they kept close to me, as though I could protect them.

She was like the budding woods in spring, like little white and blue flowers growing. If life now for once would only be kind and give him her! "Oh, Suzanne, Suzanne!" he breathed to himself, lingering over the name. For a fourth or a fifth time Eugene was imagining himself to be terribly, eagerly, fearsomely in love.

Certain that the trespasser on their dominion was incapable of mischief, they began to chatter, showing fidgety interest in the body, which they touched and poked fearsomely with spears. Dead eyes stared unblinkingly at the sun through a curtain of water, which had already cleaned them of heat and passion, and wisps of red hair drifted over the forehead.
