"Northmour," I cried, "if you will neither help her yourself, nor let me do so, do you know that I shall have to kill you?" "That is better!" he cried. "Let her die also where's the harm? Step aside from that girl, and stand up to fight!" "You will observe," said I, half-rising, "that I have not kissed her yet." "I dare you to," he cried.
She would not have hesitated in Plainsville or Phoenix, but here everything was so different. Somebody else might look and Phil never turn his head. While she waited, half-rising from her chair, he stopped, looked up at the sign, and then came directly towards the door.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. On the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel at Rome is Michel Angelo's marvellous painting of the creation of Adam. A human figure of magnificent strength is half-rising from its recumbent posture, as if just awakening to consciousness, and is reaching out its hand to touch the outstretched finger of God.
Jack suddenly broke off his remark, for in the gloom behind the cowman he saw something move. That something quickly took the form of a white-faced, exhausted youth trudging painfully forward and ready to sink to the ground with weakness. "Heavens! can it be?" gasped Jack, half-rising to his feet and staring across the camp-fire.
I hesitated; I was tired, it is true, but I had left London bound on a pedestrian excursion, and I did not much like the idea of having recourse to a coach after accomplishing so very inconsiderable a distance. ‘Come, we can’t be staying here all night,’ said the voice, more sharply than before. ‘I can ride a little way, and get down whenever I like,’ thought I; and springing forward I clambered up the coach, and was going to sit down upon the box, next the coachman. ‘No, no,’ said the coachman, who was a man about thirty, with a hooked nose and red face, dressed in a fashionably-cut greatcoat, with a fashionable black castor on his head. ‘No, no, keep behind—the box ain’t for the like of you,’ said he, as he drove off; ‘the box is for lords, or gentlemen at least.’ I made no answer, ‘D that off-hand leader,’ said the coachman, as the right-hand front horse made a desperate start at something he saw in the road; and, half-rising, he with great dexterity hit with his long whip the off-hand leader a cut on the off cheek. ‘These seem to be fine horses,’ said I. The coachman made no answer. ‘Nearly thoroughbred,’ I continued; the coachman drew his breath, with a kind of hissing sound, through his teeth. ‘Come, young fellow, none of your chaff.
It is so serious a matter that to decide hastily " "Not hastily," said the Dean very gently. "Morrison died some months ago, and I'm afraid it is imperative that we should fill the vacancy this morning." "Then consider what you do," Brandon cried, now half-rising from his chair. "This man is breaking in upon the cherished beliefs of our Church. Give him a little and he will take everything.
Presently the door opened, and an elderly woman entered an English woman, plain in feature and resolute in manner. "You have been spoiling your flowers," she said, seeing the scattered petals on the carpet. "Never mind them. Has Dumitru come, Hannah?" "Just come." "Then bring him in, bring him in. Why do you wait?" exclaimed the girl, half-rising from her reclining position.
They organize clubs in every American village for the study of events," laughed Armitage; then he changed his tone. "To be sure, the Bourbons have studied events these many years a pretty spectacle, too." "Carrion! Carrion!" almost screamed the old man, half-rising in his seat. "Don't mention those scavengers to me! Bah! The very thought of them makes me sick.
The might-be purchaser made his last offer in a half-rising posture, and is now nearly erect as he says, "Then I can't buy; give it me for six and three," sitting down as though the bargain were struck. "No, I never sell that quality for less than six and four, and it's a thing I make no profit on; you know that." The customer doesn't look as though he did, and rising, turns to go.
Gary dragged an old mattress from the bedroom and, dropping it beneath the window, spread his blanket, rolled up in it, and at Cotton's query as to sharing half of the mattress told Cotton to "sleep where he dam' pleased." "He's a friendly cuss, ain't he?" remarked Pete. "Who?" asked Gary, half-rising. "Why, Cotton, there," replied Pete. "You didn't think I was meanin' you, did you?"
