I had but little control over my mind, and my power of speech was impaired. My father sat beside my bed. Looking up at him, I said, "You have been a good father to me." "I have always tried to be," was his characteristic reply. After the broken bones had been set, and the full effects of the severe shock I had sustained had worn off, I began to gain strength.
Sir Robert felt the shock against himself and his horse as the steel tip of the long ash lance struck the Saracen horseman in the chest. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Sir Gaeton, too, had scored. The Saracen, impaled on Sir Robert's lance, shot from the saddle as he died.
Once again his fingers, hopeless as his eyes, felt over the region of his coat and waistcoat-pockets, wandered nervelessly to his trousers-pockets empty all! How many a time had they flown there in the last few weeks to make the same discovery a discovery causing a shock at first, surprise, incredulity, anger; of late, mechanically only, quite hopelessly.
She ran again with a ghost of her former buoyancy, and Gray Peter was held even. Not an inch could he gain after that. Andrew saw his pursuer raise his quirt and flog. It was useless. Each horse was running itself out, and no power could get more speed out of the pounding limbs. And with his head still turned, Andrew felt a shock and flounder. Sally had almost fallen.
It was an auspicious moment and the heart of McElroy throbbed with a savage pleasure, but suddenly he felt other hands disputing his grip on the astonished Indian, who was raining blows upon him having dropped his gun in the first shock. Over the bare shoulder of the warrior, shining like bronze in a gleam of light, he saw the face of De Courtenay, its blue eyes alight.
The first blow cleft his shield in two, and though it did not pierce his armour, the shock brought him to his knee, and without the support of the staff of the pennon he would have been on the ground.
Thunderstruck and perfectly bewildered by the terrible shock, the poor animal had kept close in its hiding place, never daring to utter a sound, until at last the pangs of hunger had proved too strong even for its fright. They readily recognized the amiable Diana, but they could not allure the shivering, whining animal from her retreat without a good deal of coaxing.
No one knows how much one thinks, and how rapidly, in such hours. In the Naples boat that was sunk a short time ago, the women perished in a dreadful way. The shock threw the chimney directly across the egress from below, so that they could not get on deck, and they were all drowned in the cabin.
Was his mind going out? "They had killed a pig at a farm, and when they were gone to fetch some water, the porker jumped down and came running after me," said the little boy. The slight shock which the mother had received, had sufficed to flush her cheek. There was something strange in that bright tint on her face, it glowed with a strange light.
'Partner, said Wegg, even more insinuatingly than before, 'I propose that we cut it in half, and each keep a half. Venus shook his shock of hair, as he replied, 'It wouldn't do to mutilate it, partner. It might seem to be cancelled.
