I was a blinded fool, and worse, She was whiter than driven snow, And so one morning the universe Lost forever its sapphire glow; Across the land, and across the sea, I felt a horrible shadow crawl, A spasm of hell shot over me, Wilmur and darkness, that was all!
Were it not for the hubbub of thousands of rooks and pheasants they would assuredly have caught the sounds of Hilton Fenley's panic-stricken onrush through the trees. As it was, he saw them first, and, even in his rabid frenzy, recognized Sylvia. It was only to be expected that he should mistake Trenholme for his brother, and in a new spasm of fright, he recollected he was carrying the rifle.
She set out valorously to explain; but the effort of putting her troubles into words seemed to bring them more home to her, and she suddenly blurred over and became inarticulate. Her daughter bent towards her, and kissed her with the prettiest little spasm of love and pity. "I will tell you about it, doctor," said she. "Poor mother is almost worn out. Fred my brother, that is to say, is worse.
He had an interpretation of his own for the incidents on which he had been called to sit in judgment. Trivialities such as they left him unaffected. His enervation came of an inability to cope with Eden. She treated an argument like a cobweb. And besides, had he not in a spasm of discouragement disclosed a secret which for two decades he had kept close-locked and secure?
When Luigi had assured himself that she was safe and unharmed, he turned towards the wounded man. He had just expired, with clinched hands, his mouth in a spasm of agony, and his hair on end in the sweat of death. His eyes remained open and menacing. Vampa approached the corpse, and recognized Cucumetto.
Serves you both gol darn good and right!" He seemed to go into a spasm of laughter. Pell's chief concern now was to get out of the mess to get away; to have everything settled. Lopez could probably be dealt with, man to man. "Look here," he suggested, in a direct attack, "can't we settle things some way?" "Yes," the bandit replied.
Against the eternal snows which close in the lake the phantom hovered in a ghastly relief emaciated, with matted hair, and purpled cheeks, and eyes not to be borne! expressing the dumb anger of a man, still young, who parts unwillingly from life in a last lonely spasm of uncomforted pain. It was midnight in the little inn at Charnex.
I saw her breast heave as she spoke, her cheek flushed and paled alternately, the azure of her eyes deepened slowly as the pupils widened in them, till there seemed midnight behind the lashes. I felt a dangerous current stirring in all my blood at her words, a dry spasm seemed in my throat, blocking all speech.
'Wait till Sunday next, if you please the day after Saturday! she added, looking at him saucily. The girls giggled again, and the young men guffawed. They thought it was the snub that touched him so that he became as white as a sheet as he turned away. But Sarah, who knew more than they did, laughed, for she saw triumph through the spasm of pain that overspread his face.
How many courses do you want, I'd like to know.... Do you mind me now?" "Yes, sir." Mr. Alleyne bent his head again upon his pile of papers. The man stared fixedly at the polished skull which directed the affairs of Crosbie & Alleyne, gauging its fragility. A spasm of rage gripped his throat for a few moments and then passed, leaving after it a sharp sensation of thirst.
