I pulled Sultan towards the verge of the shadows to see if I could make anything out, and he, supposing, no doubt, that I was guiding him towards bait and stable, made a half-turn towards the portico that ran on pillars along the face of the inn.
A great, warty snout jutted upwards, with a swift half-turn towards the intruder, and the yellow water was swept into a furious whirlpool as the saurian secured leverage to turn by a convulsion of his powerful tail. The cry rose to a shout of warning, and with the shout Barry sprang below to his cabin.
"Sergeant," said Captain Adams, with a half-turn of his desk-chair, "how soon can you take the field?" "Five minutes, sir." "There's trouble over in the foundry town. They state that a jail delivery is threatened, that the Sheriff can't control it, and that they believe the mob will run amuck generally and shoot up the town. Take a few men; go over and attend to it." "Very well, sir."
There was a man standing with his back towards us looking at a wall map, a very big man with a neck that bulged over his collar. I would have known that neck among a million. At the sight of it I made a half-turn to bolt back. It was too late, for the door had closed behind us and there were two armed sentries beside it. The man slewed round and looked into my eyes.
Moreover, there is another valve, here in front of the breast-plate, which is under the control of the diver, so that he can let air escape by givin' it a half-turn when the men at the pumps are givin' him too much, or he can keep it in when they're givin' him enough." "An' what does he do," asked Rooney, with an anxious expression, "whin they give him too little?"
You know it. "She seemed to pause in her thoughts at that and smiled. 'Can I for you? she asked in a way that made her divine. Then she jerked herself back. 'I'm an ugly woman. My body is wonderful. Look! She raised her long arms, which were bare, gave a half-turn, and glanced at me over her shoulder. An apparently simple movement, but it was consummate in grace and display.
Once or twice as they flashed by a street-lamp they were recognized as British officers, and then natives, who would have gone to some trouble to seem insolent a few hours before, stopped to half-turn and salaam to them. "Wonder how they'd like German rule for a change?" mused Warrington. "India doesn't often wear her heart on her sleeve," said Kirby. "It's there to-night!" said Warrington.
Thrust and parry thrust and parry; now a lunge in front, now a half-turn to the right, till my arm ached, and my eyes became dazzled with watching the movements of the flashing steel. A laugh of triumph from the leader of our foes warned me that some misfortune had happened to my comrade, but whatever the mishap the gallant fellow continued to keep his adversary fully employed.
She changes from lips of waiting, with a touch of apprehension, to a delighted laugh of welcome, her head making a half-turn toward the door. The audience is so moved by the beauty of the slow change they do not know whether her face is the size of the screen or the size of a postage-stamp. As a matter of fact it fills the whole end of the theatre.
Flower rose and took the seat opposite, and Fraser, who had been feeling in the way for some time, said that he must go. "You sail to-morrow evening, Jack?" said Flower, with a careless half-turn towards him. "About six," was the reply. "We sail Saturday evening at seven," said Flower, and took the girl's hand in his own.
