I will remember that," at which the man turns his head away and swears under his breath. Presently they halt in front of a door, which the leader unlocks. At a word from him the young American is pushed inside. John, receiving such an impetus, staggers and throws out his hands for support, but failing to find anything of this kind, pitches over, just as the door slams shut.
Lightly, stealthily you move about your room. You take something off the dressing-table and put it down again without a sound. And everything, even the bed-post, knows you, responds, shares your secret... You're not very fond of your room by day. You never think about it. You're in and out, the door opens and slams, the cupboard creaks.
Lijah was nigh wo'n out w'en he come to his house. He opens the doh quick an' slams it shut; den he heahs de cat a-scratchin' on de doh an kinda' sniffin' 'bout, an' Lijah, he lays down on de bed plumb wo'n out. In de mawnin' he tell his wife all 'bout it. She sez nothin' fo' a while but jes' set a-figgerin'. Den she sez, "Yo' one fool, niggah. Go an' kill de bes' hawg an' cut him up.
'He'll end up in jail, Mellow, he said, 'and bring shame on the old name. All I hope is that I'll be dead and buried before it happens. And with that he gets up and goes out and slams the door behind him." Ann was silent. It seemed to her that things were even more seriously amiss than she had imagined.

And then the Countess, with what I am compelled to term a singular offensiveness, not to say insolence, of manner, slams the door in my face, leaving me to deal with the cat as I best can! My friend, it became intolerable. I sent a message begging the Countess to do me the favour of changing her apartment. "She declined point-blank.
The gate slams, the crowd press on to it, a precious minute or two is lost and scores of people are robbed of their chance in the forthcoming gallop. And yet these are our sisters whose arms and nerves are strong enough to steer an impetuous horse over a most difficult country and who turn away from nothing that we can dare to face.
We can trace his progress when the black mood is on him by those dwindling slams. Perhaps it is that McCarthy has labelled the cough mixture as the eye-wash, or sent an empty pillbox with an exhortation to take one every four hours. In any case the cyclone comes and goes, and by the next meal all is peace once more. I said that the patients were very homely.

You let me call one who never intends to come! I congratulate you on this affair, Anne-Marie!" As he rushes out and slams the door, he calls back: "Fortune-hunter!" Uncle Theodore makes a movement as if to go after him and chastise him, but Downie holds him back. "Ah, Uncle Theodore, do let Maurits have the last word. Maurits is always right.
I ain't much of a reader of character, but I sense things like all creation, and I feel that getting the girl in harness as soon as possible is the only plain common-sense method. She's mettlesome, you know, the kind that kicks over the traces, and slams any one happening to be handy. She ain't never done it yet but she's capable of it." "Is is the girl a relation or ?"
