Well done all! Ah-h-h!" This last sounded like a snarl from the mate it was uttered fiercely, and was long-drawn-out and savage in the extreme. But he felt that he had made a mistake, and he now roared: "Go on go on! Don't stop to look round you. Keep on rowing for your lives, lads, and we'll do it yet!"
I thought I must be very ill, for I had never known my legs like that before. My father sitting beside me was engrossed in the singing of a chorale that evidently had no end, each verse finished with a long-drawn-out hallelujah, after which the organ played by itself for a hundred years by the organist's watch, which was wrong, two minutes exactly and then another verse began.
"Benson, I hate to do it. I'd hate to use a dog in such a way, but but there's no help for it!" A long-drawn-out sigh, a still queerer look in his face, then the scoundrel broke forth again: "It's your own fault, after all, boy, and there's no help for it."
A long-drawn-out murmur, continuous as the sea, swelled up from the course a murmur which at last passed into words: "Here they come; blue wins, the favourite's beat." Esther paid little attention to these cries; she did not understand them; they reached her indistinctly and soon died away, absorbed in the strident music that accompanied the circling horses.
Were her knees going to give way?... They should not!... Play the poltroon?... Never!... Rage boiled up in her; brain and will were afire.... She submit to the humiliation of arrest, the long-drawn-out agonies of cross-examinations, the tortures of imprisonment in Noumea?... Not Bobinette!... Never, never, never!
The days and weeks spent in the Law Courts, the harassing work connected with each stage of litigation, the watching daily when each hearing was imminent, the absolute hindrance of all provincial lecturing it is hardly possible for any one to judge the terrible mental and pecuniary strain of all this long-drawn-out struggle."
He left the room as he spoke, for breakfast had come to an end at last, after the usual long-drawn-out proceedings, and he had waited until he had finished his meal before opening the uninteresting looking envelope, and only Bridgie was left, sitting patiently behind the urn, with Mademoiselle to keep her company.
Honey Smith said nothing, but he stirred the fire into a blaze in preparation for a talk. "The strangest cry I ever heard, long-drawn-out, wild eerie's the word for it, I guess," Frank Merrill said. As he spoke, he peered off into the darkness. "If it were possible, I should say it was a woman's voice." The three men walked away from the camp, looked off into every direction of the starlit night.
"And so you helped it!" He nodded. "Yes. Long-drawn-out agonies don't attract me." Stella laughed softly, yet with a touch of mockery. "Oh, it was an act of mercy, was it? You didn't look particularly merciful. In fact, that is about the last quality I should have attributed to you." "I don't think," Monck said very quietly, "that you are in a position to judge me." She leaned forward.
He sang out the names of the different movements in the long-drawn-out tone associated with "calling-off" at a dance, much to the horror of the staider portion of the audience. Mrs. Fraser told 'Liza Cotton afterwards that it just gave her a turn with her heart to see her Annie sitting right up there in the midst of such iniquity.
