Stay right where you are," she cried. Owen laughed his understanding and moved over to where Harry and Lucille were talking with Ensign Summers. Meanwhile, Pauline, in the darkest recess of the conservatory was pinning together a broken garter. As she started back to the ballroom she was surprised to hear voices near her.
No time to lose, thought Rudolph; and rising, measured his distance with a painful, giddy exactness. He would have counted to himself before leaping, but his throat was too dry. He flinched a little, then shot through the air, and landed heavily, one knee on each side, pinning the fellow down as he grappled underneath for the throat.
Sometimes she felt as if she could put the whole thing on one side; five minutes later found her pinning her whole life on the issue of it. Under her guarded face and calm demeanour, the storm of divided and conflicting instincts and passions raged, and long solitary rambles became a necessary outlet for what she dared show to none.
The German officer lay where he fell, the dead steed pinning him down as it lay on its side with its hind, off-side leg rigidly extended at an oblique angle to the ground. Partly stunned by his fall the officer tried ineffectually to rise; then after a while he relaxed and lay motionless in the broiling sun with swarms of mosquitoes buzzing round the prostrate horse and rider.
"Nay, Brother," saith my Aunt Kezia, who was pinning a piece of work on the table, "surely a man may use respect to the powers that be, though they be not the powers he might wish to be?" "`Powers that be!" saith Father. "Powers that shouldn't be, you mean. I'll tell you what, Kezia, you may have been bred a Tory, but you were born a Puritan.

"I want to know if it's true Lois Field is so miserable?" she whispered. "Well, I dun'no'. She don't look jest right, but she an' her mother won't own up but what she's well." "Goin' the way Mis' Maxwell did, ain't she?"
Probably their lives were more nearly ordered on a routine than those of any other people in the new city. One afternoon Sherwood came in at the usual hour, deposited his high hat carefully on the table, flicked the dust off his boots, and remarked casually: "Patsy, I've sold the business." Mrs. Sherwood was pinning on her hat.
It was half past one in the morning. We had sat up late on purpose; we had gone without our dinner; we had walked two miles. The professor suggested pinning up the tails of his clerically-cut coat and turning in his waistcoat. The doorkeeper feared it would not be quite the same thing. Besides, my French grey trousers refused to adapt themselves.
"Gett," he said placidly, "I think that's a lie metaphorical speakin'. Ain't mad, are you?" Gettysburg made no response. He merely shoveled. One of the sluices, weakened by a leak that had undermined its pinning, fell from place, at the farther end of the line. Old Dave went down to repair it. Napoleon took advantage of his absence to come to Beth, with an air of imparting something confidential.
Hervey Willetts was no handbook scout, but Tom would not have him different than he was no, not by a hair. He thought how Skinny's beginning at the wrong end was like his pinning of the badge on the wrong side of his breast. Poor little Skinny....
