My squat guide shuttled aside; a group of loafers gave us passage, with sundry stares at me and quips for him; and I was ushered into a widely-open tent-building whose canvas sign depending above a narrow veranda declared: "The Queen Hotel. Beds $3. Meals $1 each." My gnome heavily dropped my bag. "Gent for you," he presented. "I wish a room and bath," I said, as I signed. "Bath is occupied.
Leaving her bag at the Gare Montparnasse, she had gone straight to Ian Belward's house. She had lived years in the last few hours. She had had no sleep on the journey, and her mind had been strained unbearably. It had, however, a fixed idea, which shuttled in and out in a hundred shapes, but ever pointing to one end. She had determined on a painful thing the only way.
Stern saw and rejoiced in the sight that the obeah's jaw hung surely broken, all awry. The quick-blinking, narrow-ridded eyes shuttled here, there, as the creature sought to spy out his enemies.

And he had never thought of Keok's pretty mouth as he was thinking of the girl's opposite him. He shifted uneasily and was glad Mary Standish did not look at him in these moments of mental unbalance.

Though he was not yet aware of it, Everton had discovered our real secret; he knew we had ore, which as yet he thought we were stealing from the Lawrenceburg bins. If he should take one additional step. . . . The thought-loom shuttled pretty rapidly for a few short-lived seconds.
Then he began walking back and forth in his cabin, like a big animal in a small cage, until at last he stood with his head half out of the open port, looking at the clear stars and setting the perfume of his tobacco adrift with the soft sea wind. He felt himself growing comforted. Reason seated itself within him again, with sentiment shuttled under his feet.
