With a caricatural gesture of disdain, and an off-handed air, this corpulent personage demanded stridently: "Who are these gentlemen?" Inspector Michel looked the outrageous creature up and down. "Who are you, Madame?... What are you doing here?" The inspector's tone was severity itself. Juve, behind his window-curtains, breathed a sigh of relief. "Ah, Michel has it in hand! That's all right!"
The trees, the thickets, were saturated; the lower parts of the garden turned into a morass. At intervals, when the wind broke forth again, there passed overhead a wild coil of clashing branches; and between-whiles the whole enclosure continuously and stridently resounded with the rain. I advanced close to the window and contrived to read the face of my watch.
Her voice bore the tragedy of a thousand past encounters; but that Enoch could not know. "Is it?" asked he, with but a mild appearance of interest. "Want me to go to the door?" "Go to the door!" echoed Amelia, so stridently that he looked up at her again. "No; I don't want anybody should go to the door till this room's cleared up.
Here is the throne of grace! Bring your burden, and cast it down." The words roused Elvin, or possibly the restraining touch. He started back. "I can't!" he cried out, stridently. "I can't yet! I can't! I can't!" Still leading Rosa, who was crying now in good earnest, he turned, and pushed his way out of the crowd. But once outside that warm human circuit, Rosa broke loose from him.
Some other intelligence conceived the notion for ringing for the car to return: its annunciator buzzed stridently, continuously. Unlatching the lower door, Lanyard threw it back, stepped out, finding the lobby deserted but for a simpering group of coat-room girls, to one of whom he flipped a silver dollar. "Find this lady's wraps be quick!"
"You-all can take it daid straight or not. I don't give a damn. But you've shore got my hunch thet Nez Perce Isbel is liable to handle any of you fellars jest as he did me, an' jest as easy. What's more, he's got Greaves figgered. An' you-all know thet Greaves is as deep in " "Shut up that kind of gab," demanded Jorth, stridently. "An' answer me. Was the row in Greaves's barroom aboot sheep?"
Nor had he struggled unduly to grasp the implication of Logan's explanation. Instead, he said politely, "Very nice. Thank you very much." Logan's eyes ceased to shine. His wounded pride made him defiant. "Nobody else anywhere could have worked out that table!" he said stridently. "Nobody! Morgan said you'd appreciate my work! He said you needed my talent! But what good do you see in it?
For the first time since he left Brockett's he was free from a strange feeling of apprehension.... Scaw House was hidden. He gave himself up to glorious life. He plunged into it.... He stepped, at first timidly, into literary London. It was, at first sight, alarming enough because it seemed to consist, so largely and so stridently, of the opposite sex.
I did worse than you'll ever do, because you're not big enough to be really bad, an' yet I've turned out worth livin'.... There, I'm through, an' I'm offerin' to be your friend an' to help you." Belllounds stood with arms spread outside the door, still astounded, still pale; but as the long admonition and appeal ended he exploded stridently.
"Boss, we'll never git 'ern back, not 'n a hundred years," declared Moze. "Thet settles us, Snake Anson," stridently added Shady Jones. "Them hosses are gone! You can kiss your hand to them....
