He glanced keenly about, noting the half-empty bottle of stout and the dirty glass. "Did the police search here?" he inquired. "Of course they did, but they didn't find nothin', 'cause there wasn't anything to find. 'Awker was as poor as Job!" "They examined his person? his clothes, I mean?" "Yes, an' all they got was a knife, and a pistol, and some loose silver and coppers."
While waiting for Jack to open the chestnut burrs, they varied the monotony of school life by a lively scrimmage long known as "the wood-pile fight." The girls liked to play in the half-empty shed, and the boys, merely for the fun of teasing, declared that they should not, so blocked up the door-way as fast as the girls cleared it.
His appearance was not reassuring. He had been drinking pretty steadily all day to drown his grief, and had ended up by a very business-like supper with his landlord. There were four empty beer bottles and one empty whisky bottle distributed on the table or floor, and another half-empty whisky bottle stood between the two men on the table.
We are all of us alone, whether we know it or not; you said so yourself. And it's better to realize it stark and unconfused. Besides, you have no idea what what odd things.... There may be; there IS something on the other side. I'll win through to that. Mr Bethany had been listening attentively. He scrambled up from his knees with a half-empty syphon of sodawater.
"You see him" was the answer, as a face, all nerve, distressed nerve, turned upon them not unkindly, the vanity of the great man aware and pleasantly tickled. The unexpected incident had quickened a prematurely aged pulse, and in reward for their good service the young travellers were bidden carry their equipment, not to the village inn, but to the guest- chamber of the half-empty priory.
Hand him this," and he grabbed a half-empty bottle from the table. I sprang forward and caught it before Marie got her fingers around it. "Not if I know it!" I cried. "We've got to get back to Dives. When he lands me inside my garden at the inn he shall have a magnum, but not a drop till he does." When the two had gone the Sculptor and I leaned back in our chairs and lighted fresh cigars.
Picking up several gowns from the middle of the floor, he returned them to the wardrobe, and set himself to clearing the bed of an array of satin shoes. Her silver hair brushes had fallen on the hearth rug, and in replacing them upon the bureau his eye fell on a small, half-empty phial lying beneath a pile of lace-edged handkerchiefs.
At this moment Dominic supposed himself indifferent in the matter, since he believed not presumptuously, but through the outreaching of a great faith that the end was certain. And meditating, just now, upon that gracious conviction, while the red-painted half-empty omnibus fared onward down Piccadilly, a sense of the unusual graciousness of things immediate and visible took hold on him.
Then presently the long days had reached their length, loitered awhile, turned slowly backward. And June had become July, and midsummer lay fast over the half-empty town. It was a summer that broke records for heat, and those fled from it who could.
Ferrers looked after him, and muttered to himself; he then rejoined Florence, who presently rose to depart, and taking Lumley's arm, said, "Well, I see my father is looking round for me and so for once I will forestall him. Come, Lumley, let us join him; I know he wants to see you. "Well?" said Florence, blushing deeply, and almost breathless, as they crossed the now half-empty apartments.
