Now she beheld a fine vaulting movement, going up with the hoofs together, opening out in midair and coming down repeatedly in the same place; and here he worked away industriously, stretching his loins with the regularity of a machine and hitting away at the one spot in space with his fine punctuating heels; then he settled down to a short shuttle-like movement, his forelegs out stiff and his head down.
"Oh of course but you couldn't really believe a thing like that without seeing it, could you? Oh, Steve how utterly horrible!" The "Barkodar" had dropped down into a line of sister ships, and had gone into action in midair against a veritable swarm of foes. Winged centipedes they were centipedes fully six feet long, hurling themselves along the ground and through the air in furious hordes.
It was faint, but he saw her clinging to a bank of instruments where she'd been thrown by the collision. He moved to go to her, and found himself floating in midair. But he drifted to a side wall and worked his way to her. She clung to him, shivering. "I ... think," she said unsteadily, "that we're going to die. Aren't we?" "We'll see," he told her. "Hold on to me."
"Come on, Freddy," Florette broke in quickly. "It's a katzenjammer. He ain't got over last night yet." She seized Freddy's hand and walked rapidly toward the door. Howard lurched after her, followed by the interested stares of the spectators. On the street he caught up with her and the quarrel recommenced. The act went badly that afternoon. It must be hard to frolic in midair with a heavy heart.
"I cannot argue that matter. I have no further time for you. Good-day." And Brown once more reached his hand toward his bell. "Suppose," said Talbot softly, leaning forward. "I should put it into the heads of those three hundred men that they ought to get their passage money back?" Brown's hand stopped in midair.
Jumping back the seaman found himself faced by the pitiless eyes of Stede Bonnet, who had killed his last opponent and run in to save his mate's life. That quick, darting sword baffled the sailor. Swing and hack as he might, his blows were caught in midair and fell away harmless, while always the relentless point drove him back and back.
Johnnie dismounted and lent Judson a hand with his task. "That's what I thought at first, but he's sick. I suppose it's that damned dungeon fever." "Then we'd better look after him ourselves. These Cubans are mighty careless, you know. We can swing him between our horses, and " Judson looked up to discover that Johnnie was poised rigidly, his mouth open, his hands halted in midair.
The obsolete Black Laws instituted during the slave regime must be removed from the statute books. The negro, like Mohammed's coffin, swung in midair. He was neither fish, flesh nor fowl, nor good red herring. For our own sake we must habilitate him, educate and elevate him, make him, if possible, a contented and useful citizen. Failing of this, free government itself might be imperiled.
The scene passed in a second, but to Claire it was as if they were petrified for hours in that position she half-kneeling there, her arm outstretched, and Philip astride Lawrence's body, holding the knife in midair.
Especially designed by nature to capture insects in midair, their powers of flight and endurance are unexcelled, and in their own field they have no competitors. Their peculiar value to the cotton grower consists in the fact that, like the nighthawk, they capture boll weevils when flying over the fields, which no other birds do. Flycatchers snap up the weevils near trees and shrubbery.
