At the moment that he was examining the folds made on his red leather slippers by his ample flannel trousers, a woman half-raised the satin portière, and, standing within a frame formed by the folds of yellow satin, looked at the young man, displaying her brilliant teeth as she smilingly said: "Good-morning, Guy!" Lissac went straight toward her with outstretched hands.
My horse was greatly afraid of wolves, yet he did not draw back and display nervousness. I increased my pace, then halted and half-raised my rifle as there came a shuffling of feet above me, accompanied by a tiny avalanche of forest mold and rotten chestnuts.
Yes, the last, but without referee or spectators! The prostrate man did stir now; he groaned; John Steele touched him with his foot. "Get up," he said. The other half-raised himself and regarded the speaker with dazed eyes. "What for?" John Steele went to the stand, picked up his revolver, and then sat down at a table. "You're as foul a fighter as you ever were," he said contemptuously.
He looked the angry man full in the eye, and the half-raised fist of the commander fell again. "Then if I'm captain, I'm going to be obeyed!" came next. "I order you below, Jepson.

Vaguely he remembered the swift rush of Viola's feet as she sped past him, but that was long ago and he had not looked to see whither she fled. She was now coming down the steps of the porch, a half-raised rifle in her hands. He was never to forget her white, set face, nor the menacing look in her eyes as she advanced to the killing of Barry Lapelle, for there was no mistaking her purpose.
On the northern wall below the north aisle is a monument which immediately attracts attention from its great size and striking design. It is that of Lady Jane Cheyne, daughter of William, Duke of Newcastle. It is an effigy of Lady Jane in white marble, larger than life-size; she lies in a half-raised position. Below is a black marble tomb with lighter marble pillars.
She half-raised herself, looking dreamily out on the sunlit prospect of lawn, and coppice, and woodland. "Here it is: I love Charley, but I love myself better. O Trix, child, don't let us talk about it; I am tired, and my head aches." She pushed back the heavy, dark hair wearily off her temples with both hands.
In less than a minute more the jaws of the saurian would close upon her crashing her fair, tender form between its teeth as though she were only some ordinary prey a fish, or the stem of some succulent water-plant! Her father stood on the bank a very picture of distress. Of what use the rifle held half-raised in his hands?
