He had friends, too friends he could not afford to lose friends who could not afford to lose him. Doubtless his murder would be avenged in due course; but He grimaced wrily to himself in the darkness, and tried once more to ease his cramped limbs. From outside came the murmur of voices. He could just see the shoulder of one of his guards at the entrance and the steel glint of a rifle-barrel.
They were at Saturday evening. "Certainly. And you will take breakfast in your room: we all do. At what time? Half past eight?" "Thank you very much." "Then at half past eight the man will bring it in. Goodnight." Once more in his blue silk bedroom, Aaron grimaced to himself and stood in the middle of the room grimacing. His hostess' admonitions were like vitriol in his ears.
He's a nasty hypocrite, and a sneak, and a How long do you suppose he'll be hurrying around with that pious air after he gets his money? Why, he won't even stay in the League!" Henry grimaced. "You're wrong. If he gets his money, he will stay in the League, and I'll bet on it." There was a short silence.
I shall have a good opinion ever after of a boy honest enough to confess, May junior, I saw you," he added, hopefully and kindly. "Don't be afraid to speak out if you did meet with a mischance." Tom coloured and turned pale. Anderson and Larkins grimaced at him, to remind him that they had told untruths for his sake, and that he must not betray them.
Mahdi, the animal that approaches nearest to man, captured by me in the dark jungles of Darkest Africa. Observe." The gorilla seemed animated with an implacable hatred for the larger monkey. The shades of night were falling, but the people in the street could divine this enmity from Ammonia's attitude and his gestures. His flat, ugly face was thrust towards the Missing Link. He grimaced horribly.
He did not succeed in getting his lungs quite full, however, for Michael J. Murphy, lurking beside the door, thrust the barrel of his gun in the fireman's ribs, effectually curtailing the process of respiration practically at once. From the other side of the door the chief engineer stepped out and wagged his bludgeon under the fireman's nose. "Ach!" Mr. Reardon coughed, and grimaced pleasantly.
WHEN the last guest had grimaced at her and left the drawing-room, Lady Holme stood with her hand on the mantelpiece, facing a tall mirror. She was alone for the moment. Her husband had accompanied Mrs. Wolfstein downstairs, and Lady Holme could hear his big, booming voice below, interrupted now and then by her impudent soprano.
Good stuff, washed down with superior Rhine wine; say your Liebfrauenmilch for my taste; though, when I first tried it, I grimaced like a Merry-Andrew, and remembered roast beef and Glo'ster ale in my prayers. The Goshawk was in the act of replacing the pot of lilies, when a blow from a short truncheon, skilfully flung, struck him on the neck and brought him to the ground.
He grimaced at sight of the rusted flues and the steam-pipes connecting with the dynamo-room-pipes now denuded of their asbestos packing and leaky at several joints. A strange, gnome-like picture he presented as he poked and pried in those dim regions, by the dim rays of the lamp. Spiders, roaches and a great gray rat or two were his only companions those, and hope.
"I see, but even I can tell you that." "Oh yes," said Mrs. Rooth; "but he says he can help us." "Keep hold of him then, if he's in the business," Peter was all for that. "He's a perfect gentleman," said Mrs. Rooth. "He's immensely struck with Miriam." "Better and better. Keep hold of him." "Well, I'm glad you don't object," she grimaced. "Why should I object?"
