Without pausing to consider the result of his action, he sprang across the room, shouting as he did so that there was a man behind the door. Grasping the latch, he threw the door wide open, the others in the room looking at him as if he were suddenly crazed. He had expected to confront the owner of that basilisk eye. There was not a sign of a human being in sight.
Painfully, pausing frequently to ponder over these remnants, so eloquent of the fury of the struggle, slipping backward at every step and despite our care getting tangled in the wire, we made our way up the slope. Buttercups and daisies were blooming around the edges of the craters. As we drew near the crest the major warned me not to expose myself.
'Something will come of this! said Mr Tappertit, pausing as if in triumph, and wiping his heated face upon his sleeve. 'Something will come of this. I hope it mayn't be human gore! Whirr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r. As soon as the business of the day was over, the locksmith sallied forth, alone, to visit the wounded gentleman and ascertain the progress of his recovery.
"Now look here, Grace Ford!" exclaimed Betty briskly, pausing a moment on her way to the door. "You just stop this! If no one is dead, and no one is hurt, then it can't be so very dreadful. You just stop now, and when we all get together we'll help you in whatever trouble you have. You know that; don't you?" "Oh, yes, Betty, I do.

Mr. Paramor did not smile, and again Shelton had the sense of having knocked up against something poised but firm. He remarked irritably: "If we 're not living together, all the more reason for her having it."

Putnam Jones's gaunt figure had been discernible for some time, standing motionless at the top of the steps. "Going over the ground of last night's affair," responded Barnes, pausing. "Any word from the sheriff and his party?" "Nope.
Marie lay asleep on her mother's bed in the wall, and her father, sitting by her, told the tale in a low voice, pausing now and then to look at her, as if his little daughter had done something to be proud of. It seems that in the village there was an old woman frightfully disfigured by fire, and not quite sane as the people thought.
Pausing in the middle of the clearing, the dusky lad with a flirt of the stick, flung the crotch a dozen feet in air and uttered a shout which was echoed by every one of the waiting players.
