We run across them once in a long while half-killed one day and back the next hunting for more on the rebound." At the door he paused: "Take care of yourself, eat anything that looks good to you, smoke if you want to, talk, read, sleep, and in the morning we will let you get up and stretch your legs. Good by!" "Some doctor, that," laughed the patient. "Does a man good just to hear him talk.
Oh, he's in New York. He thought your sketches were splendid, Nelie." "He said the girls half-killed themselves there studying art." "Did he?" demanded Mrs. Burton with a note of wrath in her voice. "Mm. He told mother so that day." "He had no business to say such a thing before you. Was that what discouraged you?" "Oh, I don't know. I got discouraged. Of course, I should like to please mother.
"I've never had a case that gripped hold of me as this has. I've often felt as though that poor half-killed boy was more to me than he is. You might speak to Dr. Beresford now. He's just gone in."
His wife gave a shriek of joy when he came in, and then burst into tears, for she was tired and very frightened. But her husband did not understand why she wept, and he was tired and bruised from his climb, and a little cross too. 'You give me but a sorry welcome, grumbled he, 'when I have half-killed myself to get to you.
"Well, you girls are good walkers, it must be confessed;" said Lionel, as they emerged on the crossing of the Bideford road where they must separate. "Isabel looks as fresh as paint, and Moggy hasn't turned a hair. I don't think Mrs. Geoff could stand such a walk, or any of her family." "Oh, no, indeed; Clover would feel half-killed if she were asked to undertake a sixteen-mile walk.
The next moment they were descending rapidly. With hardly more noise than an alighting night bird, they dropped into the lane in which the auto was stalled. As they touched ground the sound of harsh voices caught their ears: "Shell out now, if you don't want to be half-killed!" "Yes, come on. Hand over your coin, or it'll be the worse for you," chimed in another ruffianly voice.
The state of the weather hasn't much effect, either one way or another, on a fellow who is half-dead with hunger, half-choked with a cold caught among the rats and stores, and half-killed by a tumble down the fore-scuttle, or whatever may be the name of that vile ladder that leads to the regions below."
Not one of them would hear of letting you out; and as for Mantalini, the scoundrel was so insolent that I gave him a box on the ear, and would have half-killed him, only poor Mary Mrs. Titmarsh I mean screamed and fainted: and I brought her away, and here she is, as ill as can be."
Drummer, or something I never did get the name of the folks found three of them trying to break into his safe, and they knocked him down and half-killed him, and the servants chased them, and then everyone took a hand! It was fine and exciting, I tell you! Had you gone off before that?" "Why er seems to me we did hear something," said Perry. "When when was this?"
These cells they stuff full of half-dead spiders and caterpillars, which they seem wonderfully to know how to sting to that degree as to leave them paralysed but alive, until their eggs are hatched; and the larvae feed on the horrid mass of powerless, half-killed victims a sight which has been described by an enthusiastic naturalist as curious and pleasing!
