He wishes to buy the place merely as a speculation, hoping to turn it over to some rich people who wish to come to Canada to settle. But there is the bell!" and she half-started from her invalid's chair, but sank back with a little cry at the pain caused by the sudden movement.
It was, in fact, so plain that Daisy, who sat close by my side, and, like some others near at hand, had heard every word that had passed, half-started to her feet and clutched my sleeve, as with an appeal against my passionate purpose. Her husband had not stirred from his erect and arrogant posture until he saw his wife's frightened action.
His gaze roved to me, as if he were about to signal to me to let loose; and I half-started forward, releasing the mangled foot under my foot. I was for leaping to complete that half-formed wish of Pilate and to sweep away in blood and cleanse the court of the wretched scum that howled in it. It was not Pilate's indecision that decided me. It was this Jesus that decided Pilate and me.
He sprang toward it, but a second glance made him stop he saw that blood had gushed from the man's mouth and soaked the snow all about. His chest was visibly crushed flat, and his eyes were dreadful, half-started from their sockets. For a moment Montague stood staring, as if turned to stone. Then from the other side of the car came a moan, and he ran toward the sound.
Evan Graham half-started forward to take the honor of turning Paula's music, but saw in time that Dar Hyal had already elected to himself that office. Graham glimpsed the scene with quiet curious glances. The grand piano, under a low arch at the far-end of the room, was cunningly raised and placed as on and in a sounding board.

He looked at her boldly enough now. "And take me?" Sheila half-started up. "And take me?" "No, ma'am. You're to stay here safe and snug." She dropped back. "I'll leave everything handy for you.
She paused a moment, then replied, still with that wistful glance on his face: "Inez Catheron." "What?" Again he half-started to his feet. "The woman who was my mother's rival and enemy, who made her life wretched, who was concerned in her murder! Whom you aided to escape from Chesholm jail! The woman who, directly or indirectly, is guilty of her death!" "Sir Victor Catheron, how dare you!"

Sheldon had half-started up, then controlled himself and sunk back in his chair, so that by the time Joan entered the door his composure was recovered.
The days are so crammed with happenings. And late at night seems so wide and everlasting. You've got the idea that I do things. Well, I don't. There are whole rows of days when it seems just a muddle of half-started attempts a manner of hopeless confusion. There's a good deal of futility in it, first and last. That boy tonight for instance.
Our junior half-started from his chair in his excitement; then he controlled himself, and sank back into it again. "Show him in," he said, and sat with his eyes on the door, haggard in appearance, pitiful in his eagerness.
