When Williams did introduce him, they were rather silent, asking after Collie in monosyllables. They seemed strangely reticent. Both Williams and Overland felt an inexplicable tensity in the situation. Miguel, the young Mexican vaquero, broke silence. "How long you call it to this Gophertown place, I think?" "Thirty miles," said Overland. "Walkin' backwards like Miguel's talk," said Billy Dime.
Given a modicum of leisure for painstaking search among the pages and a lessening of tensity in the state of the popular excitement, I should undoubtedly have succeeded in finding that which I sought; but such was destined not to be. Of a sudden a chorus of exultant shrieks, louder than any of the cries that until then had arisen, caused all and sundry to face a spot near the door.
I took him to task lit into him with some force upon his particular needs of staying down a little each day or the world would never hear his voice....

She leaned back, stretching her arms luxuriously above her head with the lithe, sensuous grace of movement which her training had made second nature.

He felt that she would be entirely in place in the little carriages, drinking champagne. "That's where they eat frogs," he remarked inanely. In the tensity of her feeling, the bitterness of her longing, her envy, she cursed him for a dull fool.

He, too, saw Dolores approaching; saw the tensity of her expression; sensed some of the tremendous hopes that actuated her, now that she saw the rapid culmination of all her plots and seductions.

Never in her life had she fired a shot, for her most formidable weapon had been the bows and arrows of the Children's Archery Contest of the English Club, but she felt in herself now that highstrung tensity which at all cost would carry her on.
