The door of the Pierson cottage opened and Anne appeared on the threshhold. "I can't," she answered; "I must study to-night." "Oh, bother lessons!" exclaimed Grace Harlowe. "Skip them, for once, and join the crowd. We are going Hallowe'ening. Mother allowed it because David Nesbit and Reddy Brooks are along to look after us." Anne looked longingly at the little company.
When she discovered who her neighbour was, she started away, and stared; but she had had enough of quarrelling for the evening, and besides had not had time to bar her door against the angel Pity, who suddenly stepped across the threshhold of her heart with the sight of Mrs Mair's pale thin cheeks and tear reddened eyes.
"My nerves are fairly proof, Watson, but I must confess to a start when I saw the very man who had been so much in my thoughts standing there on my threshhold. His appearance was quite familiar to me. He is extremely tall and thin, his forehead domes out in a white curve, and his two eyes are deeply sunken in his head.
When supper was over, de Sigognac accompanied Isabelle to the threshhold of her own room, and said ere he left her, "Be sure to fasten your door securely, my sweet Isabelle, for there are so many people about in a great hotel like this that one cannot be too careful." "You need have no fears for me here, my dear baron," she replied; "only look at this lock, and you will be convinced of that.
There stood the young conqueror of Lepanto, his brain full of schemes, his heart full of hopes, on the threshhold of the Netherlands, at the entrance to what he believed the most brilliant chapter of his life schemes, hopes, and visions doomed speedily to fade before the cold reality with which he was to be confronted.
If I have a Purpose, it is formless yet. If God saves us what can you do?" She made a gesture of contempt. "You have no soul to thank me for what may be my work," and I opened the door. Ben stood on the threshhold. "In God's name, what is this?" I pointed to his mother. She looked uneasy, and stepping forward put her hand on his arm; but he shook her off.
Queed, having been offended by her, was deliberately cutting her. That her identity had literally dropped cleanly from his mind struck her as both much better and decidedly more amusing. "Don't you remember me?" she reminded him once again, laughing full at him from the threshhold.
Hardly had Miss Ashton dropt the pen, when the door of the apartment flew open, and the Master of Ravenswood, entered the apartment. Lockhart and another domestic, who had in vain attempted to oppose his passage through the gallery or antechamber, were seen standing on the threshhold transfixt with surprize, which was instantly communicated to the whole party in the stateroom.
If I was as great a simpleton as this Mrs. Budd, I'd never cross my threshhold. Yes, Stephen Spike is a prodigious willian, as his best friend must own! Well, I gave him a thump on the head that he'll not forget this v'y'ge. To think of carryin' off that pretty Rose Budd in his very arms, in so indecent a manner! Yet, the man has his good p'ints, if a body could only forget his bad ones.
They had already reached the threshhold when the old lady paused, and, turning to Fanfaro, hastily said: "He has forgiven me long ago, and will not punish me any more. God sent him to the earth to reward and punish, and he has punished them all all with their own sins. Do you know him? It is the Count of Monte-Cristo!"
