Then he crept with great contentment to the top, and stretched himself to sleep. "He's a kind of a fowl of the air," said Grandma Padgett. "Oh, but I hope he's going our road!" said Bobaday, as they re-ascended the stairs. "He's more fun than a drove of turkeys!" "And I'm not a bit afraid of him," said aunt Corinne. "He ain't like the old man with a bag on his back."
This too eccentric march of Oudinot displeased Napoleon. The river separated the two armies. Oudinot re-ascended it in order to put himself in communication with Murat; and Wittgenstein, in order to form a junction with Barclay. Dünabourg remained without assailants and without defenders.
He had re-ascended the slope a short way, and received the human avalanche on his right shoulder, was knocked down violently as a matter of course, and the two went spinning in a heap together to the bottom. "Not hurt, I hope?" cried Lewis, jumping up and looking at his comrade with some anxiety. "No, Monsieur," replied Le Croix, quietly, as he shook the snow from his garments "And you?" "Oh!
The Pharaoh now took ship and descended the Euphrates, "conquering the towns and ploughing up the fields of the king of Naharaim." He then re-ascended the stream to the city of Ni, where he placed another stele, in proof that the boundary of Egypt had been extended thus far.
She heard the men I sent disputing at the door, and she gathered the sense of Heathcliff's answer. It drove her desperate. Linton who had been conveyed up to the little parlour soon after I left, was terrified into fetching the key before his father re-ascended.
Coming to a comparatively level stretch we sank into a silently reflective and forgetful mood, while the rain-drops dribbled down our noses, sopped from our mackintoshes to our saddles, whence they re-ascended, through the capillary influence of garments, to our necks, and soon equalised our humidity. "Look out!" shouted Edwards, suddenly.
Gallantry is, in fact, as much in fashion, and as generally prevalent through all orders, as in the most corrupt æra of the monarchy perhaps, indeed, more so; as religion, though manifestly reviving, has not yet recovered its former vigour. Having remounted our horses, and the ladies re-ascended into their coach, we continued our journey through a country continually changing.
The youth, however, with the most deferential manner, attended him down stairs and to his carriage, and only took his leave, with a bow, when the footman closed the door. Again as soon as his back was turned upon his father, the youth's face changed and darkened, and "I bide my time I bide my time," he muttered to himself as he re-ascended the stairs.
With these I re-ascended, went into a little alcove on the second-floor where I had kept some drugs, got a bottle of carbolic oil, and for ten minutes went dashing all the corpses in the house. I then left the two lighted bits of candle on the waiting-room table, and, with the car-lamp, passed along the passage to the front-door, which was very violently banging.
I seemed every night to descend, not metaphorically, but literally, to descend into chasms and sunless abysses, depths below depths, from which it seemed hopeless that I should ever re-ascend. Nor did I, even by waking, feel that I had re-ascended. The sense of space, and, in the end, the sense of time, were both powerfully affected.
