Of course they found no accomplices, nothing at all but the handful of half-consumed matches the lad had dropped, and he all that time stood trembling, and occasionally struggling, beneath the firm but not rough grasp of the master who held him. At last the men were told to return to the house, and thither, by a different path, was George led, till they entered a small, poorly-furnished room.
Sometimes I was so weary that I would fall asleep as I sat, with a half-consumed plate of porridge resting on my outstretched legs, and would wake up at dawn in this position. The rains were overdue, but at first I did not mind this, because dry ground is easier to lift than wet, and I was anxious to have my reservoir completed before the heavy thunderstorms set in.
It was very exciting at that season to roam the then boundless chestnut woods of Lincoln they now sleep their long sleep under the railroad with a bag on my shoulder, and a stick to open burs with in my hand, for I did not always wait for the frost, amid the rustling of leaves and the loud reproofs of the red squirrels and the jays, whose half-consumed nuts I sometimes stole, for the burs which they had selected were sure to contain sound ones.

I've Pinero to thank for both pleasures. It all depends on the class of business I'm playing whether I'm in favor or not.
The half-consumed logs were thrown aside to smoulder and die out, and dirt thrown upon the coals to extinguish their brightness. "Maurice," called the lieutenant, speaking to his old orderly, "station four men at different quarters, and tell them to give an alarm if they but hear a stick move.

"I wish I could have destroyed the past as I have made those letters flame! It weighs on me, it chokes me!
This strange erection was set with its back to the one window that which Mr. Saffron had caused to be boarded up soon after he entered into occupation. The place was lighted by candles two tall standards of an ecclesiastical pattern, one on either side of the great chair or throne, and each holding six large candles, all of which were now alight and about half-consumed.
The longer Sweetwater examined them, the less he understood the reason for their collection, much less for their preservation in a room which in all other respects, expressed the quintessence of taste. At one end he saw a stuffed canary, not perched on a twig, but lying prone on its side. Near it was a doll, with scorched face and limbs half-consumed.
Look at the spirit of the first picture: the onset of both antagonists; and then examine the detail the remains of the dragon's victims, the half-consumed maidens; the princess in despair; the ships on the sea; the adorable city mounting up and up the hill, with spectators at every balcony. And then in the next how Carpaccio must have enjoyed his work on the costumes!
They consisted, in addition to the tortoise-shell kitten fore-mentioned, of a musical snuff-box, a toy model of a ship, a small Noah's ark, a half-consumed slice of bread and butter, an apple with a good-sized bite taken out of one side, a thick lump of toffee, and a darkish-brown substance like gingerbread, which close association in the bundle, combined with pressure, had welded together in one almost indistinguishable mass.
