There was a hiss of the engine as it pushed the connecting blocks together and then those waiting so anxiously could hear the jar of connecting valves as the brake hose were snapped. Confident as Alan was, it gave him a sinking feeling. Then, as the swish of tests sounded and the gnome-like figures of the depot men crawled from under the car, the Major looked again at his watch in despair.
Nevile felt an uncomfortable sensation of remorse and disapproval at having suffered her to quit him while there was yet any chance of molestation or annoyance, and his eye followed her till a group of trees veiled her from his view. Upon a mound formed by the gnarled roots of the dwarfed and gnome-like oak, she sat down and wept.
Beryl answered briefly, for the simple reason that she found difficulty managing her tongue. "An an old priest back in Ireland gave them to us. He'd found them in an antique shop in London." "Ah, so! Just so! So! So!" crowed the gnome-like man, jumping up and down in his great chair. "Now I will tell you a story."
Clinch, with an affecting glance to Wilhelmina, "that I was not enamoured of the graces of the lady, but was actuated by my desire to travel, and explore hitherto unknown regions. I wished to travel, to visit " "Paris," interrupted the baron sarcastically. "America," continued Mr. Clinch. "What?" "America." "'Tis a gnome-like sounding name, this Meriker.

It's the last time he ever comes to my house. Whatever Terry can see in him And he's not good for Terry." She tiptoed back into the hall, pulling the door softly behind her. A moment later the front door closed with a bang. "What was that?" Sir Tobias looked up gnome-like and startled.
If Celia was not there, and if he did not care to fish, the boy still longed for the Perdu, and was more than content to lie and watch for he knew not what, amid the rapt herbage, and the brooding insects, and the gnome-like conspiracies of the moisture exuding far under the bank. Celia was two years younger than Reuben, and by nature somewhat less imaginative.
She turned and doubled and dodged successfully. By a course circuitous she returned to Hebrew haunts, this time to seek, one Abram Canter, a little wizened, gnome-like Jew. Assuring herself that there was no other than the proprietor within, Amarilly entered and handed over the surplice for appraisal. Once more the garment was held aloft.
So we reached the beautiful valley of Aosta, as the transparent azure veil of the Italian dusk was drawn, and out of that dusk glimmered now and then, as if born of the shadows, strange, stunted, and misshapen forms, gnome-like creatures, who stood aside to let us pass along the road.

Regularly too every day, about one o'clock, the gnome-like form of the gate-keeper would issue from the little door in the park-fence, and come marching across the grass towards Leopold's chair, which was set near the small clump of trees already mentioned.
