I knew the lady long ago in India, said Albert's uncle, as he left the room, slamming the door in a way we should be forbidden to. And that was the end of the Canterbury Pilgrimage. As for the lady, we did not then know whether she was his long-lost grandmother that he had known in India or not, though we thought she seemed youngish for the part.
As the bow cleared the grass, Scotty punched the starter button, threw the runabout into gear, and shoved the throttle all the way forward. The runabout jumped forward, slamming Rick back against his tank. The boat hit the shoal at the entrance and slowed for a long, breathtaking moment, then the driving prop pushed it over into deeper water.
He disappeared from the window, and the watchers below saw the door slammed to, heard the sound of the slamming and then another sound, the sound of a key turning in the lock. It seemed almost that Chayne had been listening for that sound. For he turned at once to Sylvia. "We puzzled them fairly, didn't we?" he said, with a smile.
"I am evidently trespassing." "You most certainly are," responded Mrs. Winnie. He made a move to withdraw; but before he could take a step, she had brushed past him and left the room, slamming the door behind her. And Duval stared after her, and then he stared at Montague, and laughed. "Well! well! well!" he said. Then, checking his amusement, he added, "Good evening, sir."
Rain, in fitful gusts, had been besieging the windows, driven by an ill-tempered wind that blustered around the streets, darting up dark alleys, startling the sparks emerging from chimney-pots, roaring across the parks, slamming doors, and venting itself, every now and then, in an ill-natured howl.
He sat there with the wind slamming the brim of his old hat up against the side of his head, a sober, serious man, such as one would choose for a business like this intrusted to him by Vesta Philbrook and never make a mistake. Already he had sold more than eighty thousand dollars' worth of cattle for her, and carried home to her the drafts.
Peterkin did not like so much slamming, and felt there was more danger of burglars with so many doors. Agamemnon wanted an observatory, and Solomon John a shed for a workshop. If he could have carpenters' tools and a workbench he could build an observatory, if it were wanted. But it was necessary to decide upon something, for they must leave their house directly. So they were obliged to take Mr.

But when I'd ask him a question, he'd just rattle the answer off so fast well, I just couldn't follow him." Suddenly slamming the book shut, he got up. "Me and these tables" he indicated the book "just don't mix!" "What's the trouble?" "Ah I can get the easy ones about astrogation. They're simple. But it's the ones where I have to combine it with the power deck."
The sounds of doors slamming, and the hoof-clatter of cab-horses, and behind these things the featureless remote roar of the London cobble-stones, came to my ears. A truck-load of lighted lamps blazed along the platform. "A darkness, a flood of darkness that opened and spread and blotted out all things." "Any luggage, sir?" said the porter. "And that was the end?" I asked. He seemed to hesitate.
