I pulled myself off the floor and out from under Bullard to see the stout, oldish figure of Captain Muller standing in the doorway, with Engineer Wilcox slouched easily beside him, looking like the typical natty space officer you see on television. Both held gas guns. "All right, break it up!" Muller ordered. "You men get back to your work. And you, Dr.
There had been a look of apprehension on Marie's face. She looked at Cohan's fist and shrugged her shoulders and laughed. Another crowd had just slouched into the cafe. "Well if that isn't wild Dan! Hello, old kid, how are you?" "Hello, Dook!" A small man in a coat that looked almost like an officer's coat, it was so well cut, was shaking hands effusively with Cohan.
The stranger slouched on his way, climbed into the saddle of the horse he had left by the door, and rode off.... And Buck Thornton, from the bend in the road where he had halted Comet under a big live oak tree, noted how the horseman rode on his spurs when once he had passed from the sight of the stage driver. "Taking the Red Cañon trail," he marked with satisfaction.
Here comes Martin Crowfoot. Haven't seen Martin in the longest time." Martin slouched in and reached the bar and ordered before he caught sight of Mrs. Burke. He was just raising the glass to his lips when Hepsey stepped up briskly, and extending her hand, exclaimed: "How do you do, Martin? How are the folks at home? Awful glad to see you." Martin stared vacantly at Mrs.
Having crawled to what he judged the nearest point of concealed approach, Phoebus lost the moment to take a single glance only, and, drawing his old slouched hat down on his face to hide the bandaging, he muttered, "Now's jess my time," and crept up to the back of the crowd, which was all facing inwards in a circle, and did not perceive him.
One or two surly looking men slouched past with inquisitive glances, and she could not make up her mind to stop and speak to them. At length a tow-headed boy came out of a swinging door suggestive of illicit conviviality, and to him Ann Eliza ventured to confide her difficulty. The offer of five cents fired him with an instant willingness to lead her to Mrs.
This constituted, as it were, a sort of uniform. The air was so thick with smoke that the men had difficulty in distinguishing objects across the length of the car. The passengers sprawled in various attitudes. Some hung their legs over the arms of the seats; others perched their feet on the backs of the seats in front; still others slouched in corners, half reclining.
But she almost recoiled when, on his drawing nearer, she saw for the first time it had been hidden by the shadow of his slouched hat an ugly scar that ran from the outer corner of his left eye down to the jawbone below the ear. It gave to one side of his face a singularly sinister expression that vanished when he turned and disclosed a profile that was not without nobility and charm.
Big hulking men slouched by, and ragged little girls walked gingerly through the confusion with foaming buckets of beer in their hands. There was a clatter and garble of foreign tongues and brogues, shrill cries, quarrels and wrangles, and the Pit pulsed with a great and steady murmur, like the hum of the human hive that it was. "Phew! I 'll be glad when we 're out of it," Fred said.
"You're safe as far as Mex and all his people are concerned," said Krafft to Keith. "Our word is always good, when given to a friend; isn't it, Mex?" The man nodded, awkwardly and slouched away. Keith's depression had given place to anger.
