The engine would start at the half-turn of the crank; the clutches were adjusted to a hair; she speeded up to twenty now on the open throttle, which she had never done before except in the advertisement; she was the showiest, smartest, fastest little car in town, and when she miraculously went into red leather, edged with gold stampings, people used to fall over one another on the street.
"He knows everything I do," asserted the Policeman, "and everything she does " Here he jerked his head sidewise at Jane. She retreated, an expression of guilt on that front face. "And everything you do," he went on, indicating Gwendolyn. "I know that," she said in an injured tone. "He told Jane I was here." At that, the Policeman gave himself a quick half-turn.
Suddenly, as it trended seawards, the road executed a half-turn, and skirted a strip of the sandy margin to which the waves kept rolling in such haste.
"Oh, no," he objected to her objection; "it's not quite as bad as that." "They make me perfectly miserable." He whipped the canvas off the easel, saying dryly: "Don't think of them again!" It looked like impatience. With hands thrust in his pockets he took a purposeless half-turn in the room, then came back to her side. "If you totally detest them, I am sorry," he said mildly.
"And we're trying to shut our eyes to your goings on," retorted Nugent. Mrs. Kybird stopped and, with a half-turn, play-fully reached for him with her umbrella. The exertion and the joke combined took the remnant of her breath away, and she stood still, panting. "You had better take Hardy's arm, I think," said Nugent, with affected solicitude. "It's my breath," explained Mrs.
The signal was instantly answered. A handkerchief was waved at a lower window. "There's Mar!" Mat said comfortably, easing into a walk. "One thing, she ain't dead. That's a little bit o' better." He gave his plump body a half-turn and began again to whimper over his shoulder to the occupant of the back seat. A lesson to us all that was to be took to 'eart, as the sayin' is.
Her friends are, every human being who will take notice of her, and a beautiful little Guazupita, or native deer, a little larger than a roe, with great black melting eyes, and a heart as soft as its eyes, who comes to lick one's hand; believes in bananas as firmly as the monkey; and when she can get no hand to lick, licks the hairy monkey for mere love's sake, and lets it ride on her back, and kicks it off, and lets it get on again and take a half-turn of its tail round her neck, and throttle her with its arms, and pull her nose out of the way when a banana is coming: and all out of pure love; for the two have never been introduced to each other by man; and the intimacy between them, like that famous one between the horse and the hen, is of Nature's own making up.
Where the long, still shadows fell across the beds, and in shady nooks, the massed colours of the flowers had an extraordinary magnificence of effect. I stood entranced. Jacobus grasped me delicately above the elbow, impelling me to a half-turn to the left. I had not noticed the girl before.
But here we are you go up first!" They found Elsley crouched up over the empty grate, his head in his hands, and a few scraps of paper by him, on which he had been trying to scribble. He did not look up as they came in, but gave a sort of impatient half-turn, as if angry at being disturbed. Tom was about to announce the banker; but he announced himself.
Alas! they should have thought, they ought to have been more prudent, they should have remembered to stop the motor-car somehow before playing any pranks of that sort. With a half-turn of the wheel the Toad sent the car crashing through the low hedge that ran along the roadside. One mighty bound, a violent shock, and the wheels of the car were churning up the thick mud of a horse-pond.
