"Isn't it a pity that you cannot stay with that lovely girl until she is out of danger?" sighed Mrs. Jones.
Here she comes!" cried he; "here she comes!" and, tearing off his shirt, waved it frantically. The action was so natural, the man seemed so much in earnest, that we hung over the schooner's side, anxiously scanning the horizon for our rescuer. Again the fellow shouted, "Here she comes!" and then, with a frenzied laugh, flung himself into the glassy sea.
But it isn't Eleanor that would hold you back from me, Lucy it isn't Eleanor! answer me! you know that? He held her almost roughly, scanning her face in an agony that served him well. Her lips moved piteously, in words that he could not hear. But her hands lay passive in his grasp; and he hastened on. 'Ever since that Nemi evening, Lucy, I have been a new creature. I will tell you no lies.
With the wise precaution which is a prominent characteristic of my bosom friend, a small body of comrades was gathered together on the end of Meigg's Wharf, simultaneously scanning, with vigilant eyes, the fleets of sailing crafts as they swept into view on the strong currents of the bay.
It was probably scarcely pronounced at all by the less educated Romans, since it is often wholly omitted in inscriptions, and has been lost in modern Italian.

Miss Thorne, entering the room, found her kneeling over her trunk, and spoke to her.

He spoke to his companions and the three ceased paddling. Ashman had done so a moment before and was scanning the bank with a searching but vain scrutiny. "You must have been mistaken," he said in a low voice; "they could not have swam the river and they had no other way of crossing."
After supper I sat on a chair astride, with my back to a good fire, musing, and became conscious that an old negro, with a tallow-candle in his hand, was scanning my face closely.
