Carleton's which she must give back to him. But still she held it and looked at it conscious of no one distinct idea but that, and a faint one besides that he might like to be repossessed of his property in some reasonable time time like everything else was in a whirl; the only steady thing in creation seemed to be that perfectly still and moveless figure by her side till her trembling fingers admonished her they would not be able to hold anything much longer; and gently and slowly, without looking, her hand put the book back towards Mr.
Wych Hazel tried them all on her way home; but when that last one came, it stayed; and through all the sharpness of the others through anger and mortification and the keen sense of injury, and the fiery rebellion against control the moveless weight upon her breast was worse than all. What was it? What laid it there? Not much to look at. A poor little plant, cut down and fallen that was all.
The vast, moveless heat seemed to distil countless odors from the brush odors of warm sap, of pine needles, and of tar-weed, and above all the medicinal odor of witch hazel. As far as one could look, uncounted multitudes of trees and manzanita bushes were quietly and motionlessly growing, growing, growing.
By 'moveless, when applied to the swan, he means that sort of motion which is smooth without agitation; it is a very beautiful epithet, but ought to have been cautiously used. The word viewless also is introduced far too often. I regret exceedingly that he did not submit the works to the inspection of some friend before their publication, and he also joins with me in this regret."
He was half buried in the drift, and the lash of the storm whipped his face mercilessly. For some moments he endured the assault, then his voice came back to the figures of his companions squatting moveless over the fire. "Ho, you, Julyman!" he called sharply. Moments later the Indian stood beside the white man, peering out into the desolation beyond. "She's not going to last a deal longer."
She never saw Robert; for while he approached with shoeless feet, she had been glancing through the open door of the gable-room, and when he knelt, the light which she held in her hand had, I presume, hidden him from her. He, on his part, had not observed that the moveless door stood open at last. I have already said that the house adjoining had been built by Robert's father.
"Yes, I see you have," said I, noticing his bending pole and moveless line; "when I am through, I will help you get loose." "No, but I'm not joking," said he; "I have got a big fish." I looked up again, but saw no reason to change my impression, and kept on with my work. It is proper to say that my companion was a novice at fly-fishing, never having cast a fly till upon this trip.
He took his place, white-robed, a gleaming upon the sand. Silent almost always, it was nothing that he should sit silent now, quiet, moveless, gone away apparently among the stars. The moments dropped, each a larger round. Glenfernie moved, sat up. "I've felt you and your calm in our caravaning. Let me see if my Arabic will carry me here! What have you that I have not and that I long for?"
With all his craft and his lynx-like stealth, it was at times hair-raising work. Not only the ground thickets, but the tree-tops as well, were swarming with his keen-eyed foes. He had to worm his way between swamp-sodden roots, and sometimes lie moveless as a stone for hours, enduring the stings of a million insects.
I sprang forward at that, with a word, I do not know what; and my governess turned her lustrous, unmoved eyes calmly upon me. I remember now how deadening their look was, in their very lustre and moveless calm. I begged however for a reversal of her last proceeding; I wanted my door locked sometimes, I said. "You can lock the other door." "But I want both locked." "I do not.
