It seemed to Sylvia that the pages fluttered in agitated fashion, the bow of ribbon holding back her hair seemed of a sudden to stand out at attention, the knotted ends looked like two alert, curious ears at the back of her head. How much had Pixie heard? That night after dinner Jack broke the news of his disappointment to the assembled family, who bore the shock with surprising resignation.
Rose's song ended. The sunset faded out in a pale blank of dull gray twilight fell over the frozen ground. A little black figure, wearing a shawl over its head, fluttered out into the mysterious half-light, and began pacing slowly round the frozen fish-pond. "Doctor Frank," said Eeny, "come here and see the moon rise." "How romantic!" laughed Rose. But the Doctor went and stood by her side.
Und I Couldn't lose dot game for ein dollar!" glared the prosperous German. He stared after the departed second section, from the open windows of which fluttered or wildly waved many a banner; for few of the Gridley crowd had yet discovered that one of the most prized members of the team had been left behind.
We set up several other coveys of ptarmigan as we traversed the belt of willows lying between the lake and the woods, and when we entered the latter, several grouse, of a species that takes to trees, fluttered away from us; but we did not molest them, having already more than we could consume swinging at our belts.
Yet the bird was even now about to migrate, her pinions fluttered and her gaze was toward Fairyland. Thang hoped and muttered a prayer to those pagan gods whose spite and vengeance he had most reason to fear.
Down fluttered the aeroplane, like some clumsy bird, down into the ditch, settling on one side, and then coming to rest, tilted over at a sharp angle. Andy was pitched out, but landed on the soft mud, for there had been a thaw. He wasn't hurt much, evidently, for he soon scrambled to his feet as the crowd surged toward him. "Well, he flew a little way," observed Ned, grimly.
A startled bat left its upside-down perch and fluttered against his face, clicking its teeth in warning. Well, one could stay here and think until doomsday. So, with a shrug of his big shoulders, he got a firm grip on his doubled rope and slid over the edge. He went down and down until his shoulders ached.
When the peril passed, he put away his weapon and stood with hands thrust in the side pockets of his light jacket. Up went the hand of Miss Starland and she fluttered aloft her handkerchief. "I see no reason why he should not recognize me as a friend now," she explained to the Major at her side. The other saw her and lifted his hat and bowed low.
"Keep watch, brother, while I take just forty winks," begged one, and fairly thrust his rifle into the hand of Yeager. The soldier staggered to the adobe wall and slumped down beside the door. His eyes closed, fluttered open again, shut a second time. They did not open. He was fast asleep. The second guard sat down beside him and smiled up sleepily at the standing man. "Manuel sleeps on duty.
"Yes, my adorable little princess," he rolled out, in the tones which wove a spell over Hilda. "I adore you. How strange that I should have wandered into THIS region for my soul's bride and should have found her!" Hilda pressed his clasping hand and her heart fluttered. But she was as silent and shy as Heilig with her. What words had she fit to express response to these exalted emotions?
