Norbert was stepping aside to permit Croisenois to descend the stairs first, when he felt his coat gently pulled, and, turning round, saw that the Duchess, too weak to rise to her feet, had crawled to him on her knees.

"Brave lady," answered the bird, "do not blame me for having joined my voice to those who did their best to preserve my freedom. Although confined in a cage, I was content with my lot, but if I must become a slave, I could not wish for a nobler mistress than one who has shown so much constancy, and from this moment I swear to serve you faithfully.
Garrison grew calmer. "I haven't the slightest reason to deny anything," he said. "I frequently require a pseudonym. Dorothy knows that I employ the name Garrison whenever occasion demands."

If you do not hear all, you cannot possibly understand." "I am listening," said old Beroviero, leaning back and laying his hands on the broad wooden arms of the chair.

Beroviero reflected that in his experience this was usually the way in which liars introduced their accounts of events.
The doctor shuddered. "They were crying it in the square," he said. "I heard them in my dining-room." "One word," said the lawyer. "Carew was my client, but so are you, and I want to know what I am doing. You have not been mad enough to hide this fellow?" "Utterson, I swear to God," cried the doctor, "I swear to God I will never set eyes on him again.
"Certainly. But you must remember, Nat, that you will have no easy task. It will not do for you to kneel down and swear that you love her." "If I do it at all, I shall certainly do it without kneeling you may be sure of that, Harriet." "Yes, and without swearing that you love her. There is only one way in which you can be successful with Miss Dunstable you must tell her the truth."
"I'll pass him along to the sheriff he may know something about him. Nelse and Charlie, you take and run him in to Crater and turn him over to Kline. You tell Kline what he done or tried to do. Was he alone, Bud?" "He had a partner up on the ridge, so far off I couldn't swear to him if I saw him face to face. I took a shot at him, and I think I nicked him.
Make deaf my ears, that I may no longer hear the sweet voice that sounds like heavenly music! What was it she said, what were her words? "'I will be thine, and love no other but thee! she said. 'By my mother's spirit, I swear to you that no other man shall lift this veil from my face; I will be thine, alone! "It was music when she said it. It filled my heart with heavenly joyousness.
"Yes," she answered; "I meant to kill you." She crossed her arms over her bosom, and stared me coolly in the face. "I shall do it yet," she said. "With that knife."
