The sight of his partner's rage had set Mort to shaking with a furious desire to fly at his throat, but fortunately, he retained a spark of sanity. "Then shut up, and quit chewing the rag. You talk too much." Mort's eyes were bloodshot; they fell upon the carbine under the sled lashings, and lingered there, then wavered.
But, sad to say, the husband is not usually good-humouredly willing to acknowledge his partner's superiority, and in that case the girl's doom is a cruel one. She may marry a gross, stupid lout, who begins by yawning away his time in leisure hours, and ends by going out to meet companions of his own sort.
The river, or creek, runs through a rough mountain district, and Brannan's claim was in the wildest part of it. He and his partner met a Grizzly on the trail, and Brannan had no better judgment than to fire his revolver at the bear instead of getting out of the way. The Grizzly charged, smashed the partner's skull with a blow and tumbled Brannan over a bank.
Electric lights sparkled from the ceiling, through the pillared way the ceaseless splashing of water from the fountains in the winter garden seemed like a soft undernote to the murmur of voices, the musical peals of laughter, the swirl of skirts, and the rhythm of flying feet. Penelope stood upon the edge of the ballroom, her hand resting still upon her partner's arm.
But on the way my partner's hat blowed off and the bank address, which was on a slip of paper inside of it, got lost. So we see a sign on a buildin', along with a lot of others, that kind of suggested bankin', and so we stepped into the buildin' and went upstairs to ask the way again.
He instantly expressed to the Ratisbon gentlemen his desire to try the gagliarde himself to such excellent music, and at a sign from the master of ceremonies the dance stopped. Several members of the Council requested the couples to make way, and Maurice took his partner's hand and led her on the stage. The sudden cessation of the music attracted the Emperor's attention also.
It was Lord Dumbello; and Griselda, making no reply except by a slight bow, got up and put her hand within her partner's arm. "Shall I find you here, Lady Lufton, when we have done?" she said; and then started off among the dancers.
"My partner's sister; I expect Davies told you, but don't see what this has to do with the thing." "Sit down," said Martin, indicating a camp-chair, and then beckoned one of the men. "Bring some green bark and fix that smudge." The man put fresh fuel on a smoldering fire and pungent blue smoke drifted about the tent. "Better than mosquitoes; they're pretty fierce, evenings," Martin remarked.
I ask you, Batchelor, do you know anything of it?" "No, sir," I replied. "Do you?" said Mr Barnacle to Hawkesbury. Hawkesbury flushed as he replied, "I never expected to be asked such a question, Mr Barnacle. I know nothing about it." Mr Merrett evidently disliked his partner's persistency in putting to Hawkesbury the same questions as had been put to me, but he could hardly complain.
It was as if he had put out a hand and touched her; and her partner's veiled love-making became a meaningless murmur at her ear. Yet the surface of her brain travelled mechanically along the beaten track of dinner-table talk: and Garth, finding her gentler and more serious than her wont, deemed his hour of triumph very near at hand.
