Medart shifted in the chair, then made himself as comfortable as possible. "Okay, I'm as ready as I can be; go ahead." Ryan nodded. "As you wish, Highness." He began the words and gestures of the truth-compulsion spell, watching its effect on the human. Medart tensed and started to sweat, his expression becoming strained.
Fairchild could see that they were talking about him, their eyes turned often in his direction; once Taylor Bill nodded and sneered as he answered some remark of his companion. The blood went hot in Fairchild's brain. He rose from the table, hands clenched, muscles tensed, only to find himself drawn back by the strong grasp of Harry.
Whatever it had been he was disappointed, and he turned to me again, frowning perplexedly, and tugging at the lobe of his left ear, an old trick which reminded me of gruesome things we had lived through in the past. "Come on," he jerked. "It may be amongst the trees." From the tone of his voice I knew that he was tensed up nervously, and his mood but added to the apprehension of my own.
Carneta became outlined in dim, reddish light. Bending forward slightly, she entered the room, and I, with muscles tensed nervously, advanced and stood beside her. I perceived that this was a cellar; indeed, I doubt not that in some past age it had served as a dungeon.
I told him I wouldn't want to be married to someone whose work made him keep secrets from me." Lockley tensed. He said incredulously, "You're not going to marry Vale?" She said nervously. "No-o-o. I've told him." Lockley swallowed. "What did he say?" "He didn't like it," said Jill. "But he understood. I explained things. He said he said to congratulate you."

In answer, Dennis put his arms around her and drew her to him. "We will make love." "Yes yes, we will make love " The ring of the doorbell was like thunder in the room. Dennis tensed, his eyes widened, and he got to his feet and stood swaying.
He remembered the endless nights of attention given to Tom alone. From then on somehow they weren't friends any more. But now all that seemed to disappear and Greg only wished that Tom would appear down the corridor.... A sound startled him. He tensed, gripping the stunner, peering into the darkness. Had he heard something? Or was it his own foot scraping on the deck plate?
Scotty fell to his knees, and in getting up he managed to put a few more feet between himself and Rick. "Watch 'em!" The stranger's voice floated down. Rick glanced up and saw the stranger with one leg over the sill. He tensed. Scotty said, "Listen, you mug ..." The shadow's head turned toward Scotty, and Rick left the ground in a wild spring. He struck the shadow, hand clawing for the gun.
Deveny's face changed color. It became bloated with a poisonous wrath, his eyes gleamed evilly and his muscles tensed. He stood, straining against the murder lust that had seized him, almost persuaded to take the slender chance of beating Harlan to his weapon. "You got notions, eh?" he heard Harlan say, jeeringly. "Well, don't spoil 'em.
He saw how Lawler's muscles had tensed, how his chin had gone forward with a vicious thrust noted the awful indecision that had seized the man. As the secretary watched, he realized that Lawler was on the verge of surrendering to the passions he was fighting for Lawler had again taken up the cartridge belt and was opening his coat to buckle the belt around him. "Governor."
