"Oh, I should know it right enough!" he said jerkily. His eyes kindled, and Magda, conscious of something suddenly disturbing and electric in the atmosphere, turned quickly and, leaving Storran to unharness the horse, made her way to where she espied Gillian sitting. The latter looked up from her sewing. "So you've got back? Did you have a good time?" "Yes. It was quite amusing.
"No of course, I don't!" said Dryden, in a more subdued voice. "I don't mean that at all. I guess you're right I'm excited. I well" he motioned jerkily toward the form on the floor "I'm not used to walking into a room and finding that." It was Marner, the other bank examiner, who broke a moment's silence. "We none of us are," he said, and brushed his hand across his forehead.
He was obsessed by the old primeval lust to crush the life out of this lusty antagonist, and his whole gigantic force was concentrated to that end. He scarce knew that he was wounded, and he cared not at all. Backward and forward though the battle went, on the whole it moved jerkily toward the chasm.
"Well, then, what is the mighty difference between you and your reverend brethren between you, let us say, and your rector, Mr. Harding?" Very casually and jerkily the professor threw out this question. Not casually did Chichester receive it. He moved almost like a man who had been unexpectedly struck, then seemed to recover himself, and to nerve himself for some ordeal.
He was meant to labour amid Urban Myriads, to deal with Social Evils, Home Rule, the Woman Question, and the Reunion of Christendom, attend Conferences and go with the Weltgeist damn him! wherever the Weltgeist is going. He presents you jerkily a tall lean man of ascetic visage and ample garments, a soul clothed not so much in a fleshy body as in black flaps that ever trail behind its energy.
"Look here," he said, speaking jerkily, as if it were only by a series of tense efforts that he spoke at all. "I've come to tell you something. I don't know how you'll take it. And I may as well admit that I'm horribly afraid. Do you mind if I have a drink just to help me through?" Mordaunt closed the window, and came quietly forward.
Certainly, she thought, he was drunk. He moved his head so jerkily and his whole body swayed so queerly. Desperately she fought against her horror. Perhaps it was better for him to be drunk. Drunken men grow sleepy. Perhaps he would fall down and sleep. Perhaps she ought to urge him to drink. Long ago the black had left the bottle at his elbow and gone out of his room. But she did not move.
To demand both conditions would probably appeal to Cleigh as not humanly possible. One or the other, but not the two together. An interval of several minutes of which she had no clear recollection, and then she was conscious that she was reclining in her chair on deck, staring at the stars which appeared jerkily and queerly shaped through tears. She hadn't had the courage to make a decision.
Marys where staring red brick buildings shouldered up out of the old time houses, past the See Mouse, while a flag fluttered jerkily down from the tall mast at whose top it flew when the bishop was at home, past the American side, where Clark's big power house stretched its gray length at the edge of the river, and on till they came to the long point that closes the upper reach, and just then both men turned and looked up stream at the vanishing bulk of the huge structures beside the rapids, and the flat line of tremulous foam that marked the rapids themselves.
Merriman lay still as he tried to realize what this idea involved. Hilliard, moving jerkily about the room as if he were a puppet controlled by wires, went on speaking. "I thought it out in bed before I came along.
