A strong fellow, nevertheless, he can throw aside all this nonsense and mean business when he flings away the stump of his cigar and says, with a glance at some town, "I'll go and see what those people have got in their stomachs." "Gaudriole," gay discourse, rather free. Littre. When buckled down to his work he became the slyest and cleverest of diplomats.
For the reader it is all too abrupt, the step by which she abandons her past and flings herself upon her tragic adventure. It is impossible to measure her passion and her resolution, because she herself is still incompletely rendered. She has appeared in a few charming scenes, a finished and graceful figure, but that is not enough.
With a most wonderful rush he comes to the end of the tune, and flings up his hands and staggers back exhausted; and with a final shout of delight the dancers fly apart, reeling here and there, bringing up against the walls of the room.
A passing breeze flings into her lap a few rose-leaves from a trailing tree that has climbed the balcony, and is now nodding drowsily as the day slowly dies. She is feeling a little sorry for Dulce, who is reciting her family history with such a doleful air. "Well, I needn't, you know," says that young lady, lightly; "not if I don't choose, you know.
He is as the army which commences in orderly retreat and ends in rabble-like riot and demoralization, gaining a place of safety at last, with the sacrifice of much baggage and treasure. So, as has been said, Mr. Ruskin flings away altogether a large division of his idea. In one place he writes,

It was of the stock of the Morgans, and stood with the faithfulness of a sentinel; but when the signal to start was given stepped out proudly as if to a battle charge, with eager tossings of heavy mane and high flings of knees and hoofs; and yet, when fairly on the road, never broke the swift precision of his course.

She looks long at Margaret, and then dropping gracefully upon a pouf at Margaret's feet, says sweetly, "He's a beast!" "Oh, Tita! I don't know why I love you," says Margaret, with terrible reproach. At this Tita springs to her feet, and flings her arms round Miss Knollys.

'Well, she says, 'it might almost be the city of the dead ... here her meditations are interrupted by Teddy, who rushes in and flings his arms round her neck. 'How brown you are, she exclaims.
Harry stands at the head of the stairs, and, when she sees only these two coming up, flings her arms above her head and runs into her room. Nobody had dared tell her, but not seeing her husband was enough. Cloete hears an awful shriek. . . Go to her, he says to George. "While he's alone in the private parlour Cloete drinks a glass of brandy and thinks it all out.
