Once more their women sobbed, their old men muttered, their children wailed, but those young copper-colored gods never flinched, never faltered. Their weak and their feeble were saved. What mattered to them such a little thing as death?
So the corks flew about like minié balls, but never a man but was too good a soldier to cry 'hold, enough. As for that old demijohn of a senator, it seemed he couldn't hold enough, and wouldn't if he could; so we directed the main battle against him, and opened a masked battery upon him, by uncovering a bottle of Otard; but he never flinched.
He pulled the horse back on his haunches and flung from the saddle with the first glimpse of the fleeing wolf. Breed did not stop to look back as most other animals would have done but ran with every ounce of his speed. He flinched away from the sharp crack near his head as a rifle ball passed him and the crash of the report reached his ears.
In spite of herself she flinched, and lowered her own. "Answer me!" he said. She felt the hot colour rush in a guilty flood over her face. "It was only for once," she faltered. "I wanted sleep, and I couldn't get it." "Kieff gave it you," he said, his tone grimly insistent. She nodded. "Yes. He meant well. He saw I was fagged out." Burke was silent for a space, still grasping her hand.
"Why in hell don't you do your duty?" he demanded. "What do you mean by letting them interfere with these workers?" The man flinched. He was apologetic. "So long as they're peaceable, Mr. Ditmar those are my orders. I do try to keep 'em movin'." "Your orders? You're a lot of damned cowards," Ditmar replied, and went on.
He, the gracious and controlled, gave way to his first moment of ungenerous temper and retorted bitterly. "Very well, but it seems you can listen to his abuse of me." Conscience flinched as if lash-stung and for an instant indignation and anger kindled in her eyes only to die as instantly out of them, as she bit her lip. When she spoke it was in an even gentler voice.
He just shivered and flinched a little from the draft, appealingly. The rest registered an ascending scale of emotions betwixt and between. Just as he knew he would find them they sat. Judge Maynard had the floor; and it was an easy thing to read that he had all but reached the crisis of his recital. Any man could have read that merely from the protest in the faces of the rest.
With Mario Escobar in front of her, his face ablaze with passion, the security vanished altogether. Yet all the more she was raised to the top of her courage. "Then I shall tell you the truth," she answered gently. "You speak to me of our friendship. It was never anything serious to me. It was a taunt a foolish taunt to other people." Mario Escobar flinched, as if she had struck him in the face.
He was a dull man, Tammas, who could not read the meaning of a sign, and labored under a perpetual disability of speech; but love was eyes to him that day, and a mouth. "Is't as bad as yir lookin', doctor? tell's the truth; wull Annie no come through?" and Tammas looked MacLure straight in the face, who never flinched his duty or said smooth things.
And then to Rose: "You haven't answered my question." "I was a member of that company," she said. "But ..." "We have no vacancy at present," he said sharply. "Good day." She flinched a little but stood her ground. "I said I wasn't experienced as a saleswoman," she said, "but there are some things I know a good deal about clothes and hats...."
