Ralph made a few enquiries, and learnt that it was a smallish house, and that it was scarcely likely that room could be found for his party of four; so he left Morris to make enquiries for lodgings in the village, and himself rode on alone to the nunnery, past the church and the timberhouses.
Istra was not in sight. Then he knew that he was wildly agitated about her. Suppose something had happened to her! The smallish man who had been edging into the crowd so politely suddenly dashed to the group forming at the gang-plank and pushed his way rudely into the front rank. His elbow dug into the proper waistcoat of a proper plump old gentleman, but he didn't know it.
Murray McTavish was seated at a small table, green-baized, littered with account-books and a profusion of papers. But he was not regarding these things. Instead, his dark, intelligent eyes were raised to the smallish, dingy window in front of him, set in its deep casing of centuries-old logs. Nor was the warm light shining in his eyes inspired by the sufficiently welcome sunlight beyond.
I am not such an egotist as to suppose my experiences to be altogether unique; but I know them to be curious and in places surprising.

The smallish waves could not overturn its heavy bulk, which now served them.

Here she gave a special commission for immediate execution. Toward dusk of the evening of April first a smallish unobtrusive-looking citizen procured admittance to Mrs.
