She had penetrated at one bound into the thick of him. They had wondered how far he would go; and he had gone so far, so incredibly far above and beyond himself that all their estimates were falsified. And she saw that her seeing was the end the end of their game, hers and Ralph's, the end of their compact, the end of the tie that bound them.

Hot and exited, the men were carried against Jumper's Bastion, a strong work a little to the north of the New Mole, and that place, too, was rushed in an incredibly short space of time, and with scarcely any loss worth the naming.

Then she thought that she was a prig, and a wretch, and several other things which she would have been furious to be thought by anybody else. She had wanted Nick to realize that is, she had felt it her duty to make him realize that things could not go on as they were, after last night. She had been incredibly silly in the Mission church.

But, in spite of her coldness, Maisie wanted children. He knew that. According to Jerrold's code Maisie's children would be an injury to Anne, a perpetual insult. But Anne would forgive him; she would understand; she wouldn't want to hurt Maisie. So he went through with it. And now he made out that mercifully, incredibly, he was being let off. He wouldn't have to go on.

Bedient caught it with an incredibly quick movement, and took the gun from the Señor's pocket. "Just to reduce tension to a minimum, Señor," he said. The third Chinese opened the door from the galley, but a look and gesture from Bedient sent him back, and the lock was turned upon him. Bedient now placed the gun upon the table, and directed his attention to Framtree.

Long practice had made us quick; and in an incredibly short time I was standing like the rest with my rifle slung across my back, holding Sandho's bridle ready to lead him out through the gateway, military fashion, though he would have walked at my side like a dog.

It was heaving up in the middle incredibly; it was spreading incredibly; and as it heaved and spread, it befouled itself and darkened its sky.

"Oh! Don't!" said Sir Hugh. He drew his hand sharply away. There was confusion, irritation, in his little laugh. Amabel's tears stood on scarlet cheeks. Did he not understand? Did he think? And was he right in thinking? Shame flooded her. What girlish impulse had mingled incredibly with her gratitude, her devotion?

The age at which children are first corrupted is almost incredibly early, until we consider the nature of the surroundings in which they grow up. Insufficient space, over-crowding, the herding together of all ages and both sexes these things break down the barriers of a natural modesty and reserve.

A so-called "contemporary ballad" is incredibly impossible in its anachronisms, and is modern. This is not evidence. Though Leslie may have made such a movement, he describes his victory as very easy: and so it should have been, as Montrose had only the remnant of his Antrim men and a rabble of reluctant Border recruits.
