He stooped and, picking up the little creature, carried him to the princess. "You will have to hold him from following me, your highness." The girl took the dog, but he struggled and broke from her grasp, to leap once again upon his departing friend. "Wait," said the princess, and rose. Gabriel stood, all attention, and gazed at her, where she stood, smiling kindly upon him.
It was like the pallor of extreme collapse, save for the presence of a faint colour in his cheeks which seemed to lie as a bright transparency over a dead background. My fingers again sought his pulse. It was full and steady. As I counted it my eyes rested on his hand. I stooped down suddenly with an exclamation. Alice hurried to my side. "Where did those friends of his come from?"
Do go away! Cicely, call him!" Cicely stooped and caught up the wriggling little creature who protested loudly, as she tucked him under her arm. "Might I inquire what that choice morsel is, Phebe?" she asked disdainfully. "It's a chicken's gizzard," Phebe answered shortly. "Oh, and you were having a private lunch out here. Beg pardon for disturbing you."
Winston stooped, and his face was clear in the silvery light when he rose again. Maud Barrington saw the relief in it, and compelled by some influence stood still looking at him with a little glow behind the smile in her eyes. A good deal was revealed to both of them in that instant, but the man dare not admit it, and was master of himself. "Yes," he said, very simply, "I am glad you are across."
Thereafter Lagardere stooped and picked up the fallen sword of Gonzague. Then, advancing towards his enemy, he made a sign to those that held him to release their captive a sign that was immediately obeyed. He held out the weapon by its blade to Gonzague, who caught it. In another moment the two men were engaged in combat.
They silently followed him to the low crags where they had so blithely landed. Lowrie meekly stooped and picked up the boots Yaspard took off, and Gibbie was heard to sob, but no one offered the smallest remonstrance; they were in hearing of Tom's broken words and pitiful moans, and each one thought, "I'd do the same thing if I could."
He informed the public that when he met an immense dog in strolling round the ruins above Monte Moro, he stooped till his chin nearly touched his knee and looked the animal full in the face, "and, as John Leyden says, in the noblest ballad which the Land of Heather has produced: 'The hound he yowled, and back he fled, As struck with fairy charm."
Involuntarily he stooped and kissed her softly on the forehead. "Who is it?" asked Betty, reaching out a wondering little hand, "Eugenia's father?" "Lloyd calls me Cousin Carl," answered Mr. Forbes, taking the groping fingers in his, "and I think that the little Betty that everybody is so fond of might call me that, too."
He stooped lower, looked, and saw the man's face. There was a shout from the deck, or, rather, a yell. Then more yells and the sound of running feet. "Mr. Ellery!" screamed Burgess, at the hatchway. "Mr. Ellery, for the Almighty's sake, come up here! Come out of that this minute. Quick!"
"You do see things, don't you? A few hundred yards down the road I passed something you had seen. I knew it was you who had seen it, though the poor wretches had not heard your name." She hesitated a moment, then stooped down and took up in her hand a bit of pebbled earth from the pathway.
