It mattered not if there were a score, for, if he chose to flee, he could out-speed the swiftest runner on either side the Mississippi. With the thousands upon thousands of miles of mountain, prairie, river, and wilderness at his back, he could laugh to scorn the rage of his enemies.
She again let the soft look touch his face, sweet as a caress. From the other side of the fire Courant saw it, and through the film of pipe smoke, watched. David thought no one was looking, leaned nearer, and kissed her cheek. She gave a furtive glance at the man opposite, saw the watching eyes, and with a quick breath like a runner, turned her face to her lover and let him kiss her lips.
The big brass cannon that is called 'The Humbler of Cities, goes forth to speak its order, and with it are sepoys to feed it the food of destruction. Beyond that I know not, Sahib, for I am a man of peace, being but a runner of the post."
Outside the Atrium Brinnaria had her private stable, her carriages, her coachman and ostlers, and her lictor, the red-cloaked runner, who preceded her carriage, announced its coming and cleared the way for it through the crowds of foot-passengers who thronged the streets of Rome. Life in the Atrium was austere and formal, but in no respect ascetic.
The man grasped the boy's shoulder with a grip that nearly dislocated it. "Japanese raiders!" he said. "Can you run?" "You bet," said Colin, growing excited; "I'm a crack runner." "Get back to the agent's house as fast as you know how an' wake him up. He'll know what to do." "What are you after, Hank?" asked the boy, tightening his belt.

The big grey rat ran to the end of the wall, wheeled around, and came back to the place where the little beetle was slowly crawling along at only a tiny distance from where the rat had left her. "Don't you wish that you could run like that?" said the big grey rat to the little brown beetle. "You are surely a fast runner," replied the little brown beetle politely.
Attracted by the shots, the sergeant of the guard and one or two men, lantern-bearing, came running to the scene. Excitedly they searched up and down the road in mingled hope and dread of finding the body of the marauder, or some clue or trace. Nothing! Whoever he was, the fleet runner had vanished and made good his escape.
They couldn't have thought that they could succeed in tiring out a runner like him! "Then we noticed that the elk no longer ran so rapidly. He stepped on the snow more carefully, and every time he lifted his feet, blood could be seen in his tracks. "We understood why the poachers had been so persistent! They had counted on help from the snow.
Several times Dunk threw to the initial sack, in order to get the nerve of the runner. Then he suddenly stung in one to the man at the plate. "Strike one!" yelled the umpire. The batter gave a sign of protest, but he thought better of any verbal comment. "That's the way!" cried the Yale captain. "Two more like that, and he's down!"
The first was taken immediately by a farmer, the second -to my unspeakable disgust and terror was secured by the inevitable Bow Street runner; who, as soon as h e was up, helped the weakly Screw into the third place, by his side. They were going to Crickgelly; not a doubt of it, now. I grew mad with impatience for the arrival of the Red Cross Knight.
