"No, not dead," answers the boy, instantly on his feet again like a rebounding ball, and apparently but little injured. "He take me foul. Let him try once more. Come on, big brute!" And the pigmy places himself in a defiant attitude, fronting an adversary nearly twice his own size. "Stan' side!" shouts Eleparu, interposing. "Let me go at him!"
It could not have been late afternoon. These Orientals should have seen them, with Victor Radnor among them, fronting the smoky splendours of the sunset.
Roscorla into the new world that had opened all around him, and say something of the sudden shock his old habits had thus received, and of the quite altered views of his own life he had been led to form. As matters stand, we can only pay him a flying visit. He is seated in a verandah fronting a garden, in which pomegranates and oranges form the principal fruit.
There is something pre-eminently open, natural, full fronting our disbelief, in this manifestation.

You must picture, therefore, for yourselves, a very devils' pandemonium let loose upon the little hilltop so soon as the mountain men gained their vantage ground at the fronting of the rock breastwork; cries; frantic shouts of "God save the king!" yells fierce and wordless; men in red and men in homespun rushing madly hither and yon in a vain attempt to repel a front and rear attack at the same instant.
There were depths here, and she knew it. "Even the pantaloon may have a soul," she said; "or a king may have a heart." In front of the Louis Quinze, Valmond waved his hand for a halt, and the ancient drummer wheeled and faced him, fronting the crowd. Valmond was pale, and his eyes burned like restless ghosts.
