Yet those who knew him perceived that it was done without much stomach for the job. Instead of growing momentarily greater the violence of his abuse now grew steadily less, and the thunder in his tones rolled further and further from the subject. Half-turning to Bucks, Scott laid his hand on his arm again. "Excuse me," said he, deliberately and quietly, "but you are wanted quick at the station.
Valentina looked at the rugged, determined features of the man, and fear for the first time stole into her heart and was reflected on her countenance. She was half-turning to Gonzaga, to vent upon him some of the bitterness of her humour for him she accounted to blame when once again Francesco came to the rescue. "Now, shame on you, Cappoccio, for a paltry hind!
"And you have once in your life passed a holy church in Cape-Town, where you doubtless overheard a holy parson addressing his hearers as his beloved fellow-creatures, have you, cook! And yet you come here, and tell me such a dreadful lie as you did just now, eh?" said Stubb. "Where do you expect to go to, cook?" "Go to bed berry soon," he mumbled, half-turning as he spoke. "Avast! heave to!
"But I shall accept nothing not a cent from you, if we never get a penny from the Cross!" declared Dick, half-turning, as if to end the interview. She did not seem to hear him. She was still facing the hard, twisting face of Bully Presby, who had suddenly drawn back, as if confronted by a greater spirit than his own. She went on speaking to him as if Dick was not in the room.
When he emerged from the house a carriage with rubber tires awaited him. "You had scarcely left Prince Korchagin's house yesterday when I called for you," said the driver, half-turning his stout, sun-burned neck in the white collar of his shirt, "and the footman said that you had just gone."
Sir Austin persisted in his habitual air of speculative repose. Remote as he appeared from vulgar anxiety, he was the first to speak and betray his state. "Pray, put up that watch. Impatience serves nothing," he said, half-turning hastily to his brother behind him. Hippias relinquished his pulse and mildly groaned: "It's no nightmare, this!"
Here Christal stopped, blushed a little; and half-turning aside, hid further in her bosom a little ornament which occasionally peeped out a silver cross and beads. Then she said in a somewhat less angry tone, "You are right; tell me all your mind." "I think, then, that though your income is sufficient to give you independence, it cannot provide you with luxuries.
The keeper who, without knowing it, was, by his departure, to give the signal for the murder of Germain, stood near the half-opened door. "All ready!" said Pique-Vinaigre to Skeleton. "Silence in the band" answered the latter, half-turning round; then, addressing Pique-Vinaigre, "Now fire away! we listen." A profound silence reigned in the sitting-room.
It took, however, many letters and interviews, full of the subtlest comedy, infinite advancing and retiring, and recrossing and bowing, and courtesying and facing and half-turning, before this leap-year dance could end in the solemn Wedding March. "You know," she said once, "how I should love the fun of seeing you plough your way through all the mediocrities."
But Ramiro's attention had been diverted from me by the noise. Half-turning in his chair, he called to one of the men-at-arms to ascertain who came. Before the fellow could do his bidding, the door was thrust open and Lucagnolo appeared on the threshold, jaded and worn with hard riding. A certain excitement arose in me at sight of him, despite my confidence that he must be returning empty-handed.
