Unnumbered punctures, small, yet sore, Full fretfully the maiden bore, Till she her lily finger found Crimson'd with many a tiny wound, And to her eyes, suffused with watery woe, Her flower-embroidered web danced dim, I wist, Like blossom'd shrubs, in a quick-moving mist; Till vanquish'd, the despairing maid sank low. "Dear Cottle,
The carved oaken ceiling, lofty though it was, had the effect of pressing downward, the heavy furniture matched the heavy walls, and even the silent, quick-moving servants had a watchful air. Mr. Parr bowed his head while Hodder asked grace. They sat down. The constraint which had characterized their conversation continued, yet there was a subtle change in the attitude of the clergyman.
As her swift mind galloped on to the end, and the subdued sounds of grief caught her inner ear, another face began to print itself rapidly on that quick-moving scene Doris, white and haggard, looked into her eyes, and she felt her whole heart go out to her.
To feed 10,000 British soldiers on the middle Nile was alone a feat of organisation such as no other country could have attempted, but the effort was exhausting, and left no reserve energy to despatch that quick-moving battalion which could have reached Gordon's steamers early in December, and would have reinforced the Khartoum garrison, just as Havelock and Outram did the Lucknow Residency.
"It'll be harder next time!" said his father. "As hard as you like!" nodded Barnabas. Once more came the light tread of quick-moving feet, once more John Barty feinted cunningly once more his fist shot out, but this time it missed its mark, for, ducking the blow, Barnabas smacked home two lightning blows on his father's ribs and danced away again light and buoyant as a cork.

The stranger turned round in his seat, and his quick-moving, dark, jewel-like eyes went from the sergeant to the landlady. 'I'm stopping here tonight, he said, in his laconic Cornish-Yankee accent. The landlady seemed to tower. Her eyes lifted strangely, frightening. 'Oh! indeed! she cried. Oh, indeed! And whose orders are those, may I ask? He looked at her again. 'My orders, he said.
The alarm created by this imminent danger had already been given, and, when Ruth issued into the court, a female was rushing past her, seemingly on some errand of the last necessity. "Hast seen him?" demanded the breathless mother, arresting the steps of the quick-moving girl.
Of her hands, so thin now, always moving a little, as if all the composure and care not to offend any eye by allowing Time to ravage her face, were avenging themselves in that constant movement. Of her figure, that was short but did not seem so, still quick-moving, still alert, and always dressed in black or gray.
Naif, full of a charming pride, he loved literature "as the Arab loves the wild horse he has found a difficulty in subduing." Nevertheless, material prosperity, as ever, occupied an important place in the foreground of his scheme of life, and his mind was still running on the theatre, as the great means of gaining money. Schemes still coursed each other through his quick-moving brain.
