Be assured of it, his mind is like a ship at sea, storm-tossed and at the mercy of the winds, thou canst not surely blame him, that for once after so strange a turbulence, and unwonted a disaster, he hath no eyes for thee whose sole sweet mission, is to minister to pleasure." "To minister to pleasure!".. echoed Sah-luma petulantly.. "Nay, have I done nothing more than this?
It annoyed her to admit the query, or rather the doubt which fathered it; it distressed her when the doubt appeared to grow with the lengthening leagues of distance. Now vacillation was not a Dabney failing; and the aftermath of these storm-tossed musings made for Vincent Farley's cause.
But what of it to the syren?... There are others who stay, as many, perhaps, as she wants, and to whom she puts out a shy hand of friendship, and presently soothes and consoles as the strong, silent, storm-tossed man who rode with so soldierly a bearing beside Mr.
Hope had gone, gone to the bottom, and he was on his storm-tossed way to the waters of another continent. But in the midst of his despair Dickory never thought of freeing himself, by a sudden bound, of the world and his woes. So long as Kate should live he must live, even if it were to prove to himself, and to himself only, how faithful to her he could be.
This poor woman after living twenty-five years in the oasis of a mission-house, was a strange subject for storm-tossed wandering and fights with cannibals. Seldom has fate conspired with the fickle sea to sport with such helpless human flotsam, save, perhaps, in that crowning caprice of the waves which once cast ashore a live baby in a cradle.

Wrap him in thy charmed veil, Secret spun and secret wove, Certain from the deepest wave To lift him to its crests above."
Joyously they ride into it, like ships long storm-tossed entering a haven of safety; for at the inner end of the concavity there is a cleft in the precipitous wall, reaching from base to summit, out of which issues a stream whose waters are sweet! It is a branch of the Brazos River, along whose banks they have been some time travelling, lower down finding its waters bitter as gall.
Larry, hot and pink, with hat hanging by its guard, his fair hair looking like storm-tossed corn-stooks, noted nothing, being wholly engrossed in bitter conflict with Tommy. The art of keeping a good start with hounds is not given to many, and least of all to the young and inexperienced.
Even in so rudimentary a matter as collar-studs he is like a storm-tossed mariner I mean to say, like a chap in a boat on the ocean who doesn't know what sails to pull up nor how to steer the silly rudder. One rather feels exactly that about him.
Stanford was not quite steady on his legs, and lurched as he walked, as if his wife's sitting-room had been the deck of a storm-tossed vessel. "I s'pose she's gone to bed," muttered Mr. Stanford, hiccoughing. "Don't want to wake her makes a devil of a row! I ain't drunk, but I don't want to wake her." Mr. Stanford lurched unsteadily across the parlour, and reconnoitred the bedroom.
