Rather piteously Cranbourne appealed to his chief.
So loud a report, and so near, startled my daughters; and I could perceive that Sophia in the fright had thrown herself into Mr Burchell's arms for protection.

He therefore sate down by my youngest daughter, and, sportsman like, offered her what he had killed that morning.
And about the woman there was a subtle atmosphere of tragedy which appealed to the masculine protectiveness which surged strong in his bachelor breast. But Carroll was a sportsman. The girl had carried things her own way and he was too game to spoil her evening. Therefore, he temporarily gave over all thought of a chat with the Lawrences and devoted himself to her amusement.

He confided to Mike his intention of leaving the bank as soon as he had made a name, and taking seriously to the business.
He assumes an aspect of positive rakishness, and intelligence, so to say, beams from his every limb. All day long he must be up and doing.

The chancel screen and pulpit are of white Sicilian marble, with handsome panels and a base of Belgian black.
I don't suppose I'll see much of the fun, but it's better than bossing up a labour company, any road." "Sportsman," said Peter. "I envy you. Why didn't you tell me? I've half a mind to put in too. Do you think I'd have a chance?" "No," said Langton brutally. "Besides, it's not your line. You know what yours is; stick to it." "And you know that I'm not so sure that I can," said Peter.
