He still perorated, still posed like a shop-walker, still behaved like a puppet, with its pulling strings in plainest evidence. It was a mercilessly hot afternoon. All over the mountains the tourists were asking themselves in bitterness of spirit why they had left their comfortable homes in the city to subject themselves to weather like this.
A girl had come, had for a little posed laughing outlined against the window of a man's soul, had flashed her unforgettable gray eyes at him and had gone. And so, and just because of her, the blistering hills seemed but ugly, lonely miles, the nights under a full moon were just the more silent and empty. But Steve Packard held on, grown grim and determined.
There is a pretty allegory in Homer I think in the last book, but I forget precisely where about two vessels, the one filled with blessings and the other with sorrow, which stand, says the poet, on the right and left hand of Jupiter's throne, and from which he dispenses good and evil at his pleasure among men. What word to use for these vessels has long posed the translators of Homer.
Barker won't object a great deal to our going on, if it is Sunday. 'S kind of a Sunday game, anyways. You 'posed to games on Sunday?" "I don't know as I am," said Lemuel. "Now, 'Manda Grier, don't you!" pleaded Statira. "Shall, too," persisted 'Manda. "I guess if there's any harm in the key, there ain't any harm in the Bible, and so it comes out even.
"You have run off the devils? Girls safe?" "You bet they're safe, Dad. How you feeling? Looks like they plugged you pretty bad." "Very very bad," gasped Farley. "I do not expect to survive."

But the commission, or its Republican members, were not to be so easily posed; in the case of Oregon, they accepted the seal of the Secretary of State, certifying the three Republicans.
Even A. Jones smiled indulgently upon the irate manager, who was now fairly bristling with indignation. "The Corona people," remarked Arthur Weldon, "are quite enterprising. I did not know they had a camera-man at the beach yesterday, but he must have secured a very interesting picture. It was not posed, Mr. Goldstein, but taken from life." "It was Maud Stanton!" asserted, the manager.
No tiger out of the jungle could hold more rage and fury than animated those feathered atoms, bristled up even to the heads, which looked as if covered with velvet caps. They paused an instant, then crouched, jerked their tails, "teetered" and posed in several attitudes, ending each new movement with a solemn bow, perhaps equivalent to a handshake among larger fighters.
Beatrice must have seen it, but Peter had not. He must never see it, because he would force her to confess the truth the truth she had been struggling to deny to herself. She had trifled with a holy thing that was the shameful truth. She had posed here as a wife when she was no wife. The ceremony at the English chapel helped her none. It only made her more dishonest.
At the age of seventeen, after her father's death, she became a school teacher at a small school in the Rue Morceau, and at nineteen married Charles Leullier, a good-looking young scoundrel who posed as being well off, but who was afterwards proved to be an expert international thief, a member of a gang of dangerous thieves who committed robberies in the European express trains.
