"Why, wasn't it only the other day you were throwing his sacrifices in his teeth?" Under this imputation on her straightness Miriam flinched but for an instant. "I did that to worry you," she smiled.
Yet, to my astonishment, the patient never flinched nor moved a muscle of his face, and on my inquiring afterwards, he assured me that the proceeding was absolutely painless, a remark which was corroborated by the surgeon. "The nerves are so completely and instantaneously destroyed," he explained, "that they have no time to convey a painful impression."
It may have been merely that mesmeric influence of an intently concentrated gaze that caused them suddenly to turn. They beheld standing in the road and they flinched at the sight a witness to all the proceedings. A small, a simple, object to excite such abject terror as blanched the faces of the group a little boy, a mere baby, staring at the men with wide blue eyes and unconjecturable emotions.
"Félix, will you speak?" "If Monsieur will promise to let him go " "Insolence, sirrah! I do not bargain with my servants." His words were like whips.

The pony, still nervously resenting the memory of the mouth-crushing spade-bit, and the tearing rowels, flinched and sidled away as Collie tried to mount.

But Patty Cannon never flinched; she trained the young boys around yer to be her sleuth-hounds an' go stealin' for her; an', till she dies, it's safer to be a chicken than a free nigger. They stole you, pore creatur' from Phildelfy, an' they steal 'em in Jersey and away into North Carliney; fur Joe Johnson's a smart feller fur enterprise, and Patty Cannon's deep as death an' the grave."
The smile at his lips indicated that his thoughts were pleasant ones. Hermia had learned something to-day would learn something more to-morrow, and yet she had not flinched from the school in which he was driving her. If he had thought by hardship to dissuade her from her venture, it seemed that he had thus far missed his calculations.
While all this was going on, Hallowell had not been neglected by the Indians; about a dozen of them had devoted their time to him, but he never flinched. Just as Booth had regained his equilibrium and drawn his second revolver from its holster, Hallowell yelled to him: "Right off to your right, Cap, quick!"
