All the city was playing with this sound out there in the blue summer dark, throwing it up and calling it back, promising that, in a little while, life would be beautiful as a story, promising happiness and by that promise giving it. It gave love hope in its own survival. It could do no more. It was then that a new note separated itself jarringly from the soft crying of the night.
The drill sergeant rapped out a jarringly emphatic accent against a tree with her staff. She was a college gymnasium teacher home on her summer vacation; her name was Miss Raper. She had a tremendous reputation for rigid discipline in her classes.
I guess there will be things to break about the folks that are out in it." Tenney came up to him and peered down at him in blank terror. "Who's out in it?" he asked. "Who've you seen?" Raven laughed jarringly. It did seem to him grimly amusing to be dallying thus with a man's fears. He was not used to playing games with the human creature's destiny.
But invariably the sleepy mocking eyes of Lord Monckton brought him back to earth, jarringly. Once, Kitty caught Thomas gazing malevolently at Lord Monckton. No love lost between them, evidently. It was the ancient story: to wager, to borrow, to lend, to lose a friend. Long after midnight Kitty awoke. She awoke hungry. So she put on her slippers and peignoir and stole down-stairs.
"What! did you not know me, brother Harold? How funny!" And he laughed: his laugh was something like Sara's. It seemed to ring jarringly on Mr. Gwynne's ear. "I was not aware, Miss Rothesay, that you knew my brother-in-law." "Oh, Miss Rothesay and I were friends almost ten years ago. She was our neighbour at Oldchurch." "Indeed."
"At two thousand yards," sang out the naval lieutenant unexpectedly and jarringly as we stood watching, "slow fire." I was surprised at such decision.
And then, as they neared the church, the clang of the bells burst forth loudly and jarringly. Was she, perchance, there in the house, kneeling alone, white and stricken by her bedside, whilst those joy-bells rang out their deafening clamour from the church hard by? For the life of him, Maurice could not help casting a glance at the vicarage as they drove swiftly by it.
But now he heard the sound of hoofs making towards him; he drew his horse on one side of the road, and at that instant a broad flash of lightning illumining the space around, he beheld four horsemen speeding along at a rapid gallop; they were armed, and conversing loudly their oaths were heard jarringly and distinctly amidst all the more solemn and terrific sounds of the night.
And he laughed again, jarringly, and shifted in his seat, looking around him with quick eyes. "What do you think of the room?" he said abruptly. "I think it entirely spoilt and ruined," the doctor answered gravely. "It's altered, certainly." "Yes, for the worse. It was a beautiful room, one of the most beautiful in London." A momentary change came over Julian.
"Laying that trembling bow of his close to the bridge, he went sliding with it up and down on the strings, as it quivered in his hands, jarringly, whistlingly, squeakingly, mewingly; the tone he produced was to be likened to that of some old woman, with spectacles on nose, vainly attempting to hit the tune of a hymn.
