"Yes, sir; Mrs. Jones wondered they staid so long." "Did they go into the library?" "Yes, sir." "Do you remember whether they looked at the books?" "No; they didn't stay more than a minute in the library." "Are you sure they did not look at any of the books?" repeated Harry. "I am quite sure they didn't, for the room was too dark, and they only staid half-a-minute.
In some cases it is necessary to pour cold water on relaxed organs, which, especially with females, will sometimes not be braced up by mere immersion. But such pouring must be done with caution. Half-a-minute of it is a long time; one quarter-of-a-minute or less will usually be enough, even in important cases.
Rot if someone was to come and stop it half-way through. It's in a field; thick hedges. No one can see. And I tell you what I'll keep time. I've got a watch. Two minute rounds, and half-a-minute in between, and I'm the referee; so, if anybody fouls the other chap, I'll stop the fight. See? Come on!" Of the details of that conflict we have no very clear record. Phipps is enthusiastic, but vague.
'Do you see any possibility? you knew her, she said coldly. 'Counting the number of times he has been expecting the release, he is bound to believe it near at hand. 'You don't? she asked: her bosom was up in a crisis of expectation for the answer: and on a pause of half-a-minute, she could have uttered the answer herself.
Now, prone in the mud, and now backing himself up against shop-windows, the owners of which come out in terror to remove him; now, in the drinking-shop, and now in the tobacconist's, where he goes to buy tobacco, and makes his way into the parlour, and where he gets a cigar, which in half-a-minute he forgets to smoke; now dancing, now dozing, now cursing, and now complimenting My Lord, the Colonel, the Noble Captain, and Your Honourable Worship, the Gong-donkey kicks up his heels, occasionally braying, until suddenly, he beholds the dearest friend he has in the world coming down the street.
But, by God! she mistook her mark!" He laughed harshly, paused half-a-minute, and resumed, "One restraint upon our hero was the thought of his little boy, only old enough to creep about, and incredibly fond of him; though this never softened him towards the worthless, cursed mother. Anyway, after about three years, the little boy died; and his heart was turned to stone.
What has been the outcome? Merely that for half-a-minute people have said: "What a clever make-up," and for the rest of the time one has been no more content to accept the player as Jupiter Scapin than if he had washed his face, brushed his hair and acted in his dress clothes. Does Mr Cavendish Morton think players were really worse off before the latest refinements in make-up were invented?
When Angel had gone promptly at three, as likely as not another step would be heard coming down the passage, and a feminine rustle, suggesting a fuller foliage of skirts, pause outside the door, then a sort of brotherly-sisterly knock. "Esther! Why, you've just missed Angel; what a pity!" "Well, dear, I only ran up for half-a-minute.
A cold wet towel was then folded lengthwise so as to be four-ply thick. The end was laid on the stomach, and gently pressed. In about half-a-minute it was hot. The towel was then shifted so that a fresh cool part lay over the stomach, and so on throughout the length of the towel. Then the cold cloth was again renewed on top of the lather.
"If I have any of my own," said Mr. Glascock to himself, "I hope they will be of a more cheerful disposition." As we have seen, he did not meet Caroline at the station, thereby incurring his lady-love's displeasure for the period of half-a-minute; but he did meet Mrs. Trevelyan almost at the door of Sir Marmaduke's lodgings. "Yes, Mrs. Trevelyan; he is here."
