"To change all this means years of work thinking of the clearest kind. And what clear thinking can these men do? The ships have got them down so low they've no minds left to get out of their holes!" And yet as now on every dock, that "strike feeling" in the air kept growing tenser, tenser its tensity crept into me. What was it that lay just ahead?
In that fever of contradiction he pushed on, knees gripping his horse in the tensity of his desire to hasten, thinking to hold the animal up from stumbling as an anxious rider in the night will do.
Are you soft on that chicken? Has she blarneyed you into this?" demanded his chief, rising, unsteadily, but fierce in his suspicious tensity. Taylor cowered, with imploring hands stretched out. "Why, Reg, no one ever did for me what you've done. I'd die rather than sell you out, and there ain't a dame in the world that could make me soft on a real game like this."
During his short stay among the bushes at the foot of the cliff the whole heavens had blackened and the air was surcharged with the heavy damp and tensity that betoken a coming storm. The lightning blazed across the river thrice, and he heard a mutter which was not that of cannon. Then came rain and a rushing wind and the surface of the river was troubled grievously.
The ship careened to a chance swell; a door slammed; the voices were cut off. I looked up. The Nigger's head was thrust forward fairly into the glow from the companionway. The mask of his sullenness had fallen. His eyes fairly rolled in excitement, his thick lips were drawn back to expose his teeth, his powerful figure was gathered with the tensity of a bow.
I'd so like to hunt him up." The question seemed to have produced a tensity in the very atmosphere, Michael felt it. "I might, an' then agin' I might not," answered Sam in that tone of his that barred the way for further questions. "Couldn't you and I find him and and help him, Sam? Aunt Sally said he was in trouble."
Silently, as before, the party spread out until it had completed the ring around the cabin and then, when all was in readiness, the millman and the runner, with pistols loosened, stepped out into the open and walked around to the door. There was a moment's tensity as they made that march, neither they nor the watchers knowing when a shot might sound and bring one of them to the ground.
As they left the room, Lord James faced Genevieve with a sudden tensity that compelled her attention. "What is it?" she asked, half startled by his manner. "You said you wished to speak with me?" "If you'll be so kind as to come into the library. It's a most serious matter. There'll be less chance of interruptions." She permitted him to lead her in to her former seat at the library table.
The mountain territory has annals of such holocausts. Every one sat very still lest an excited movement or gesture precipitate the storm. From my place on the slightly elevated witness chair I had a full view of the scene in all its ominous tensity. It was as though breathing had not alone stopped, but all living animation had for the second been suspended.
As she rocked to and fro she felt the tensity of woe in abandonment, the magnificence of wrath after deception, the languor of sorrow after defeat. Thoughts of all the charming women she had seen in plays every fancy, every illusion which she had concerning the stage now came back as a returning tide after the ebb. She built up feelings and a determination which the occasion did not warrant.
