Separated from the wagon, and thus under no further obligation to regulate our pace by that of the slow-moving oxen, we now, at Pousa's command, advanced at a trot along the road leading directly to the palace; and as we rapidly approached that structure I became increasingly impressed by the remarkable grace and beauty of its architectural decorations, the exquisite details of which forced themselves more insistently upon my attention with every foot of our progress.
I was horribly frightened, but but now I am glad indeed that I went. Yes, I am indeed glad!" "Why are you glad?" he asked roughly and again a hateful suspicion thrust itself insistently upon him. "I am glad I went, because it will make what Claire has done to-day seem natural, a a simple escapade." There was a moment of terrible silence between them.
"You know him pretty well?" "Only through this transaction," she replied hastily. "I wish to heaven I had never heard of him." The telephone rang insistently. "Mrs. Moulton," said Kennedy, as he returned the receiver to the hook, "it may interest you to know that the burglar alarm company has just called me up about the same case.
"Well?" said Constans, interrogatively. "Do you want me to put myself within reach of the Gray Wolf's paws?" retorted Messer Hugolin, shrewdly.

Sometimes Dylks involuntarily put his hand to the black silken cap which replaced the bandage Nancy Billings had tied over the place where the hair had been torn out.

"Send word to my sister," he directed quietly, "that I insistently request her to join us at breakfast. I must see her before I leave the house." He strode with a resilient step about the room, pausing idly before a favorite landscape here and prized bronze there. Patience was one quality which Hamilton Burton had not spent great effort in acquiring.
In the middle distance certain figures began insistently to stand out, figures of women sitting alone wherever he looked he met a provoking gaze. One woman, a little farther away than the rest, seemed determinedly bent on getting a nod of recognition, and it was gradually borne in upon Hodder's consciousness that her features were familiar.
Flamingo-like in her bright-coloured, figured gown, with a wild flower in her hair and her gray curls dancing gently at her temples, a little old lady trotted up and down the big sitting-room of Slow Down Ranch, talking volubly and insistently.
