My father held Harriet fast, I behind him held Fanny with such a grasp! and dragged her on with a force I did not know I possessed. I really thought your children would never see you again with all their bones whole, and I cannot tell you what I suffered for ten minutes. My father, quite pale, calling with a stentor voice to the sentinels. A fat woman nearly separated me from Fanny.
Another smart fellow cut the life-buoy adrift so quickly that it struck the water within ten yards of Staines. The officer of the watch, without the interval of half a moment, gave the right orders, in the voice of a stentor; "Let go life-buoy. "Life-boat's crew away. "Hands shorten sail. "Mainsel up. "Main topsel to mast." These orders were executed with admirable swiftness.
Stentor had never such a voice at the siege of Troy. Then for the strengthening of his nerves or sinews they made him two great sows of lead, each of them weighing eight thousand and seven hundred quintals, which they called alteres.
Few as young as he is think as much as he does." "I don't grasp your meaning, Roka." "Perhaps it would be better to say that no one thinks of everything." "I'm still astray." "We'll call the people of the village to us." "If you had the voice of old Stentor himself, of whom you never heard, you couldn't reach the village, which you know is more than twenty miles away."
There was a mixture of command and good-humour, of decision and fun, in the gruff, bluff, weather-beaten countenance, surmounted with its rough shock of coal-black hair, and in the voice loud as a stentor, with which he now guided a drove of oxen, and now roared a catch, that his listeners in either case found irresistible.
'I'm afraid you won't see the Scottish hills, shouted Mary, holding on her little cloth hat. She was obliged to shout at the top of her voice, though she was close to Mr. Hammond's elbow, for that shrill screaming wind would have drowned the voice of a stentor. 'Never mind the view, replied Hammond in the same fortissimo, 'but I really wish I hadn't brought you up here.
His figure seemed to shoot up in the air on springs, and, with a glittering tomahawk, he slew and scalped an imaginary foe over and over again, and every time the blade struck in the air he let forth a shout that would have done credit to old Stentor himself.
Stentor, in Waverley, gets fifteen hundred dollars salary, and I am sure he can't compare with father in ability." "True, Grant, but your father is modest, and not given to blowing his own trumpet, while Mr. Stentor, from all I can hear, has a very high opinion of himself."
Wade standing there like a" Bill hesitated for a comparison. "Like a thousand of brick," Perry Purtett suggested, sotto voce. The Chairman took this as a hint to himself. "Like a thousand of brick," he said, with the voice of a Stentor. Here the audience roared and cheered, and the Orator got a fresh start. "When you came, Mr.
