And it was not that he resented the failure of his suggestion, the good fellow was incapable of that, but he had obviously found some interest which was absorbing all his time, all his thoughts; for later on, too, he rarely appeared at the Aratovs', had an absorbed look, spoke little and quickly vanished.... Aratov went on living as before; but a sort of if one may so express it little hook was pricking at his soul.
Then, as a rein was pulled, he felt a hundred sharp points pricking the sensitive skin around his mouth. With a bound he leaped into the ring. It was a very pretty sight presented to the horse experts lining the rail and to persons in boxes and tier seats.
Weyburn saluted the Frenchman as an acquaintance, and they shook hands, chatted, criticized, nodded. Presently he and his adversary engaged, vizored and in their buckram, and he soon proved to be too strong for Adderwood, as the latter expected and had notified to Lord Ormont before they crossed the steel. My lord had a pleasant pricking excitement in the sound.
Suppose, just suppose, that some one should recognize her from the sidewalk! The thought sent a series of pricking shivers up and down her usually tranquil spine. Just as that fear thrummed through her, she saw, a few doors ahead, a man come out of a residence hotel. He sighted the De Peyster carriage, and paused. Mrs. De Peyster's heart stood still, for the man was Judge Harvey.
"Monsieur d'Aguilhe," commenced old Lecour, "here is my son, who thinks me a noble and upon my honour I cannot argue against him; he is too able for me." "Aha!" returned d'Aguilhe, pricking up his ears, and saying to himself, "This looks like something important." "We desire," said Germain, taking the business into his own hands, "to see the marriage contract of my father and mother."
Is it not a singular phenomenon, that, whilst the sans-culotte carcass-butchers and the philosophers of the shambles are pricking their dotted lines upon his hide, and, like the print of the poor ox that we see in the shop-windows at Charing Cross, alive as he is, and thinking no harm in the world, he is divided into rumps, and sirloins, and briskets, and into all sorts of pieces for roasting, boiling, and stewing, that, all the while they are measuring him, his Grace is measuring me, is invidiously comparing the bounty of the crown with the deserts of the defender of his order, and in the same moment fawning on those who have the knife half out of the sheath?
Pricking fast over the plain were seen the glittering horsemen of the Christian reinforcements; and, at the remoter distance, the royal banner of Spain, indistinctly descried through volumes of dust, denoted that Ferdinand himself was advancing to the support of his cavaliers.
Nay, if the whole arm be cut off, the pain which arises from pricking the nerve stump will appear to be seated in the fingers, just as if they were still connected with the body. It is perfectly obvious, therefore, that the localization of the pain at the surface of the body is an act of the mind.
Why, I might have been a hero it was in me all the time I might even have been a god." Then for the first time he became aware of his body as of something outside of himself something that had been tacked on to him. He felt all at once that his feet were as heavy as logs that they were benumbed, that they had fallen asleep, and were filled with the sharp pricking of thorns.
It was a pattern which would require fresh pricking out, and much skill; but Grisell thought she could accomplish it, and took her leave, kissing the Duchess's hand a great favour to be granted to her curtseying three times, and walking backwards, after the old training that seemed to come back to her with the atmosphere. Master Lambert was overjoyed when he heard all.
