"Bernardino has just been killed murdered with his own gun." Gaston Isbel seemed to exhale a long-dammed, bursting breath that let his chest sag. A terrible deadly glint, pale and cold as sunlight on ice, grew slowly to dominate his clear eyes. "A-huh!" ejaculated Bill Isbel, hoarsely. Not one of the three men asked who had done the killing.
There was a stamping outside, and she slipped back to the ledger, as the door flew open. Bannon turned to the blue prints. Max entered, pausing to knock his cap against the door, and wring it out. "You ought to have stayed out, Mr. Bannon," he said. "It's the greatest thing you ever saw doesn't sag an inch.
There on the brown and green grass rug a rich dark stain was drying blood, some three days old. Then, indeed, did the universe sag and darken to the Mistress of Last's. She put out a hand to steady herself and found it grasped in the strong one of Billy, who stood at her shoulder like her shadow. "Steady!" he whispered. "Steady, Tharon."
The bordermen met each other's glance, and had little need of words. Wetzel's great shoulders began to sag slightly, and his head lowered as his eyes sought the grass; a dark and gloomy shade overcast his features. Thus he passed from borderman to Deathwind. The sough of the wind overhead among the almost naked branches might well have warned Indians and renegades that Deathwind was on the trail!
There he sat on the foot of the bed see where them covers still kind of sag down after he told me that he had something to do away from the ranch and that he wanted to go now that Black Bart was well enough to travel in short spells. He asked me if I still needed him." "And you told him no?" she cried. "Oh Dad, you know it means everything to me but you told him no?"
It had not begun to sag yet, but the shape of the legs showed that the undue weight imposed upon them was beginning to tell. It had a long nose, and floppy ears that hung down, and a resigned expression of countenance.
Under the sag of them many a will snaps that would have held fast if sustained by a good dinner and a sound night's sleep. This is why so many "bad men," gun fighters with a reputation for gameness, wilt on occasion like whipped curs. In the old days this came to nearly every terror of the border.
No, no don't say it," faltered Raymond, all sympathy in an instant. Ken ran into his room, closed the door and then peeped out. He saw Raymond slowly sag down-stairs as if his heart was broken. Then Ken slipped out and crawled down the hall till he could see into the reading-room. All the boys were there, with anxious faces, crowded round the coach. Worry was livid.
Slates and tiles loosen and at last slide off, and leave bald the boards that supported them; shingles darken and decay, and soon the garret or the attic lets in the rain and the snow; by and by the beams sag, the floors warp, the walls crack, the paper peels away, the ceilings scale off and fall, the windows are crusted with clinging dust, the doors drop from their rusted hinges, the winds come in without knocking and howl their cruel death-songs through the empty rooms and passages, and at last there comes a crash, a great cloud of dust rises, and the home that had been the shelter of generation after generation finds its grave in its own cellar.
Crept to bed finally, into a darkness as sleek as a black cat's flank, silently, to save the sag of mattress, her body curving to the curve of her child's. Once from the inky pool of that long night Zoe's hand crept up, finding out her mother's cheek. "Lilly," floating up for a drowsy second to the surface of consciousness "Lilly you're crying. Are you sad again?" "Yes, Zoe terribly terribly "
