The dazed native Hunters had been expertly looped together by Nymani and, a little apart from them, the off-worlders were under examination. "An I-C man, eh?" Jellico, smoothing a mud-spattered chin with a grimed hand, regarded the latest arrival measuringly. "Trying to run in and break a Combine charter, were you?
"Hello," greeted Billy tentatively, eying the other measuringly because he was a stranger. "Pretty soft going, ain't it?" He referred to the half-thawed trail. "Ye-es," hesitated the other, glancing diffidently down at the trail and then up at the neighboring line of disconsolate, low hills. "Ye-es, it is."
Casey straightened and looked at her, his frying pan in one hand, his coffeepot in the other. "Say, I never asked you about the darn mine, did I? I done my talkin' to Injun Jim. It's you that butted in here on this deal. Seein' he's dead, I'll talk to his squaw and make a deal with her, mebby." He looked her over measuringly. "Princess hunh!
There was that instant of silence which terminates all conferences. Then Luck rose, and Dewitt tilted back his office chair and swung it away from the desk so that he was still facing Luck. So the two looked at each other measuringly for a moment. "I certainly appreciate your good opinion of me, Mr. Dewitt," Luck said. "Whether I take the place or not, I want to thank you for offering it to me.
He made a step toward her. "I came because it is today," he said. "Only for a minute, dear. It's a great day for me, you know whether we win or lose. I wanted you to be in it. I wanted you to wish me good luck." "But you know I always do," she objected. "Yes, I know. But a fellow likes to hear it, Dora on the day, you know. And I've seen so little of you lately." She looked at him measuringly.
Sally nodded, and sipped again at the thick glass from which she was drinking. "I'm strong," she said. "I'm hard ... tough. If I make up my mind...." "Yes. I'm like that," insisted Gaga. It was so preposterous that Sally could only look measuringly at him with a puzzled contempt that might have been read. "I'm stronger'n you are," she answered. "I'm small; but I don't mind what I do.
Instead, he stared at Ross long and measuringly, his eyes growing colder and less friendly with every second of that examination. Ross had resented Kelgarries back at the project, but the major could not match Baldy for the sheer weight of unpleasant warning he could pack into a look. Ross might have been startled by Furry-face, but now his stubborn streak arose to meet this implied challenge.
It sounded awfully impromptu and easy and yet he looks well, cowboyish. What sort of a young man is he?" "He's a perfectly horrid young man." Evadna leaned to help herself to more chocolates. "He well, just to show you how horrid, he calls me a a Christmas angel! And " "Did he!" Miss Georgie eyed her measuringly between bites.
We have not failed, for though we perish, yet our blood shall fructify what we have sown, that our sons and our sons' sons may reap the garnered grain. Gentlemen, of the Junta, I declare our meeting adjourned!" Starr's eyes were troubled, but his gun did not waver. It pointed straight at the breast of Holman Sommers, who looked at him measuringly when he had finished speaking.
"We're going to be, so it's all the same," Weary surprised himself by declaring with much emphasis. "You'd go, wouldn't you, if I was well, say your brother?" Miss Satterly rested her chin in her palms and regarded him measuringly. "I don't know. I never had one except three or four that I er adopted, at one time or another. I suppose one could go, though with a brother."
