One of them held a copy of the "Daily Chronicle," gesturing with it somewhat jerkily as he spoke. For a moment the hope that it is hard to make away with revived in Lucyet's breast. Were they talking of the poem, she wondered, with a certain weary interest. She dreaded a fresh disappointment so keenly that it pained her to speculate much on the chance of it.
He saw Neil Durant struggling in the grasp of half a dozen yelling Ridgleyites and the next moment felt himself lifted bodily and carried forward jerkily. He tried to resist but did not have the strength; and so he let them raise him up and transport him where they wished.
"No oh, no," she said, endeavouring to steady her flurried tones. Her heart was still playing tricks, throbbing jerkily in her side, and her breath came unevenly. "Only you startled me. I thought you were a tramp." She fancied he concealed a smile in the darkness. "Not very complimentary of you," he answered composedly. "It wasn't, was it? I'm so sorry," she agreed in eager haste.
"There's all that has belonged to you. You've been married, and have children, haven't you?" He started, frowned, then straightened himself. "I got one girl she's east with her grandmother," he said jerkily. "That's what I said; there's more to leave behind at fifty," she replied, a red spot on each cheek.
Down-stairs in the kitchen, Nancy, hurrying with her belated work, jabbed her dish-mop into the milk pitcher, and muttered Jerkily: "If playin' a silly-fool game about bein' glad you've got crutches when you want dolls is got ter be my way o' bein' that rock o' refuge why, I'm a-goin' ter play it I am, I am!" It was nearly seven o'clock when Pollyanna awoke that first day after her arrival.
The latter rose as Rand entered, and bowed jerkily as Gladys verified the guess with an introduction. He was about Rand's own age and height; he had a smooth-shaven, tight-mouthed face, adorned with bushy eyebrows, each of which was almost as heavy as Rand's mustache. It was a face that seemed tantalizingly familiar, and Rand puzzled for a moment, then nodded mentally.
Nobody spoke for a moment; Jimmy was afraid to look round, then Christine said slowly: "Very well, what train are we to go by?" Her voice sounded a little expressionless; Jimmy could not look at her. "Any train you like," he said jerkily. "My time is yours anything you want . . . you have only to say what you would like to do."
To make matters more exasperating, at that moment the rod began to bend and the reel to spin jerkily. "A fush!" exclaimed Donald. "Looks like it," returned his friend drily. "I better gee a yell an' wauken him," suggested Donald. "Ye'd better no'," said Junkie, shaking his fist. "Yonder iss the end o' yer bonnet stickin' oot o' his pooch, what-e-ver," said Donald.
It had been left open, and now it was swinging and slamming to and fro jerkily, and shuddering from top to bottom. Half in plan, half in mere irritation at this senseless, incessant jigging, I sprang toward it and with one nervous pull tore it, hinge and all, from the rotten woodwork. I heaved it over the side, went in head first after it, took a few strokes and lay, belly down, upon it.
You don't suppose you don't suppose " the words came breathlessly, jerkily "you you really don't suppose, do you, that that she made that suggestion about a season in town for my sake?" "What other reason could she have had?" demanded Bunny sternly. Toby was laughing, but her laughter had a desperate sound. "How green you are! Must I really tell you that?" "Yes. Go on! Tell me!"
