Now it had increased in pitch and volume and he was striding back and forth, showing his scorn for the Allied Systems in every gesture. Thane glanced at the "absolute" dial of his watch and wondered how long it would keep up. "... we have come to deal with you in good faith and again you seek to exploit us. You would, if you could, take all we produce and give nothing in return.
"Bracken," cried Cameron, striding to him with hand outstretched, "what about the logs for the house? Where did they come from?" "Well, I dunno. Smith was sayin' somethin' about a bee and gettin' green logs." "Smith?" cried Cameron, glancing at that individual now busy unhitching the bronchos.
With a stifled groan the tall soldier turned abruptly away and went striding towards the opening of the cañon, leaving Drummond wondering and perplexed.
Claire descended into Planus' office. To see Risler striding to and fro, with his hands behind his back, as calm as usual, no one would ever have suspected all that had taken place in his life since the night before. As for Sigismond, he was fairly beaming, for he saw nothing in it all beyond the fact that the notes had been paid at maturity and that the honor of the firm was safe.
Ellsworth leaped to his feet and, striding around the desk, seized his caller roughly by the shoulder. "What are you telling me? Good God, Alaire! A married woman! So you cut under Ed Austin, eh?"

Whereupon, striding to the fireplace, their host turned his back to it, clasped his hands behind him, and glowered benignly upon the two. "Ah!" he observed in accents of extreme personal satisfaction.

As you say, the spectacle takes one back into mythological times. Would you not call it a procession of Titans, children of the Gods, storing up mountain-blocks for some earth-convulsing battle? Your eyes deceive you.
He ended in a chuckle as if pleased by the accuracy of his figures. "Ay, well enough," the other responded, "but it must be wrong, for here's the blazed tree and no spring by it." Close below, Jeremy saw their lantern flash and a moment later the two men were in full view striding among the trees.
He returned to his hotel at about five o'clock, and was striding directly toward the smoking-room without glancing to right or left among the attractive groups that characterize the tea hour at the Excelsior, when he was arrested by some one's calling, "Why, John Derby!" In the crowd of persons and tables he looked blankly for a familiar face, but, as his name was repeated, he recognized Mrs.
"Compose yourself, Mr. Cregeen," said Philip, and he tried to take him by the arm. But Cæsar broke away, blew a terrific blast on his ram's horn, and went striding round the house again. When he came back the next time there was a deep roll of thunder in the air, and he said, "It's the Ballawhaine. He had the stone five years, and he used to groan so."
