"Whose autograph album is this?" exclaimed Polly, pouncing on a flaming red and gold volume that lay on the table. "It belongs to one of the girls up at school," answered Jessie. "Just see here, and here, and here," she continued, turning over the leaves and pointing to several well-known names. "You see, she lives in Boston and her father knows all these people, so she could get them."
But, Austin, this furtive pouncing on a thing and clubbing other people's money out of them with it this slyly acquiring land that is necessary to an unsuspecting neighbour and then holding him up I don't like. There's always something of this sort that prevents my cordial co-operation with Neergard always something in the schemes which hints of of squeezing of something underground "
Raphael cried, pouncing upon it. "Who knows? Suspense is so pleasant." "Unluckily," Emile said, with burlesque melancholy, "I can see no halting-place between the unbeliever's arithmetic and the papal Pater noster. Pshaw! let us drink. Trinq was, I believe, the oracular answer of the dive bouteille and the final conclusion of Pantagruel."
At first the bold privateersmen confined themselves to the narrow seas, pouncing down upon any Spanish ship which approached their shores, either driven in thither by the wind, or compelled to seek shelter by stress of weather.
There were many things Forty-eight Bloomsbury Square came gradually to the conclusion were not worth the doing: Snatching at the gravy; pouncing out of one's turn upon the vegetables and helping oneself to more than one's fair share; manoeuvering for the easy-chair; sitting on the evening paper while pretending not to have seen it all such-like tiresome bits of business.
Fortunately, our animals had not suffered from the jaguars, though Chumbo had seen the very creature which was so nearly pouncing down on Kathleen, but had driven it off with firebrands. We at once, therefore, made preparations for our departure.
These were the meditations of a man in love; veins, arteries, headpiece in love, and constantly brooding at a solitary height over the beautiful coveted object; only too bewildered by her multifarious evanescent feminine evasions, as of colours on a ruffle water, to think of pouncing for he could do nothing to soften, nothing that seemed to please her: and all the while, the motive of her mind impelled him in reflection beyond practicable limits: even pointing him to apt quotations!
Once, perhaps, that was his desire; if so, like the pointer and the setter, he has converted the barbarous pouncing instinct into the civilized pleasure of tremulous contemplation. Be that as it may, the contemplative moment is short. Simultaneously almost with the emotion arises the longing to express, to create a form that shall match the feeling, that shall commemorate the moment of ecstasy.
It was the black rat. Nor did he go straight. He went, if I may so put it, every way at once, ending up with a merry-go-round dance with death the harrier was pouncing savagely round a tuft of grass, at such a speed that he looked exactly like the rim of a quickly spun bicycle-wheel a halo, that is to say, and nothing else.
He 's up in mamma's room, and was just saying, 'How 's Polly? when I heard you come, in your creep-mouse way, and you must go right up. He looks so funny with whiskers, but he 's ever so nice, real big and brown, and he swung me right up when he kissed me. Never mind your bonnet, I can't wait." And pouncing upon Polly, Maud dragged her away like a captured ship towed by a noisy little steam-tug.
