And in his hands ah, dreadful final detail of this dreadful picture he held outstretched, extended and presented in my general direction, a double-barrelled fowling piece, enormous in size and glittering with metal ornamentation. "Young man," he cried out, "have one look at this!" In times of the most extreme peril the thoughts clarify with inconceivable rapidity. In a flash I comprehended all.
She added, a moment later, "It means whatever it says to your heart." It was at her half-humorous suggestion that he went back, presently, to work at the piano. She settled contentedly near him where with an outstretched hand she could occasionally respond to his touch. They hadn't, either of them, very much to say.
As the words left her lips it seemed to her as though some giant had thrown the big horse back upon its haunches, for he slipped past her, his flanks almost touching the ground, which he ploughed with outstretched hoofs. Then he stopped dead. "Have I found you at last, wife?" cried Ralph, in a voice of joy so strange that it sounded scarcely human. "Mount swiftly, for the Zulus are behind."
They never envied a millionaire again. They retired for another consultation. Stuart replaced the papers and put the key in Bivens's outstretched hand. It was plain that he was sinking rapidly. "Ask Nan to come here a minute," he said feebly. Stuart walked to the door and whispered to a servant. When he returned to the bedside, the dying man looked up into his face gratefully.
We found ourselves in a narrow lane, strewn with rocks, crooked and winding. Desiree stumbled and would have fallen but for my outstretched arm. A spear from behind whistled past my ear as we again bounded forward. Harry was shouting to us that the Incas were upon us. I caught Desiree's arm and pulled her on with a last great effort.
When the fishing party returned that afternoon Miss Fitzroy met them at the hall door. "Well, my dear," she said airily to Mrs. Spicer, "what sort of sport have you had? I've enjoyed myself immensely. I've bought a horse!" Mrs. Spicer sat, paralysed, on the seat of the outside car, disregarding her brother's outstretched hands.
She went down the long room, giving water to all who moaned for it. They lay very thick, the wounded, side by side in the heat, the glare of the room, where all the light possible must be had. Some lay outstretched and rigid, some much contorted. Some were delirious, others writhed and groaned, some were most pathetically silent and patient.
Claude Locker, his arms folded around a mass of thorny roses, and a pair of scissors dangling from one finger, stood and gazed with savage intensity at the dapper little man black eyes, waxed mustache, dressed in the height of fashion who, with one hand outstretched, while the other held his hat, advanced with smiles and bows to meet the lady of the house.
It mounted from his feet to his heart and brain. Then like a tree shaken by a mighty wind, he swayed to and fro and dropped on his knees, all his muscles giving way under him. And with hands despairingly outstretched he stammered: "This is more than I can bear, my God! More than I can bear!" He had accepted every situation but he could do so no longer.
That's his window with the light in it. Bommaney moved to the window, and followed with his glance the direction of Hornett's outstretched finger. There was a window a few feet higher than the one at which he stood, and half-hidden from observation by a stone parapet. A shadow obscured the light, and moved about the ceiling, visible from below.
