It takes two persons to kill a man. One casts the noose over his head, and immediately tightens it with all his strength; the other strikes him on the joint of his knees as he rises, which causes him to fall forwards. After he has fallen, they kick him on the temples till he dies, which is usually in a minute. They never commit a murder until they have taken every precaution not to be found out.
"You know very well what it means what it always meant in the old days." Her lips part over her beautiful teeth; now there is no mockery in her smile, only love, and a most exquisite delight. "Ah, Marian!" says he, in a low tone. He leads her from the room. Her hand tightens on his arm; he feels the pressure, and now in the ball-room his arm goes round her.
There is his "form" fresh in the snow. The river, away down below, begins to boom and crack. The ice is like the tight head of a big bass drum, but the drummer is inside and the sound comes muffled. The frost is the peg which tightens all the strings of earth and makes them vibrant. The tinkle of sleigh bells on the wagon road fully a mile away comes with peculiar clearness.
The whole woman nature stands before you; all look at her, but none can interpret her thoughts. But for you, the eye is more or less dimmed, wide-opened or closed; the lid twitches, the eyebrow moves; a wrinkle, which vanishes as quickly as a ripple on the ocean, furrows her brow for one moment; the lip tightens, it is slightly curved or it is wreathed with animation for you the woman has spoken.
Once our grasp tightens on the windpipe of the world, we're safe. From our office in Wall Street you and I can play the keys of the world-machine as an organist would finger his instrument. But there must be no leak; no publicity; no suspicion aroused.
How tenderly, yet how full of concern is that low, sweet voice. "Come, won't you?" "Yes, dear." "Now hold my hand, father." Joe takes the hand of little Mary, that instantly tightens upon his. "You won't go away and leave me to-night, will you, father? Say you won't." "How very hot your hand is, dear. Does your head ache?" "A little; but it will soon feel better."
Hark, was that a coaching horn, sounding up from Wildwood Road? There's the whistle of the boat coming round the point at Seal. How it sinks into the silence, fading gradually away. Twilight settles slowly down, all around the wooded shore, and across the opal lake Chr-r-r-r! sings the reel. The line tightens.
As the moments slipped, he became conscious that Rachel was talking. Her voice made a tiny noise in the grave torpitude of the day. "It's like listening to singing, Erik. What are you thinking of?" "Nothing. I like the way the heat tightens my skin and pinches." "Do you remember," she asked softly, "once you said beauty is an external emotion?" He answered drowsily, "Did I? I'm tired, dearest.
Sooner or later, the noose tightens over one leg, or perchance over the neck and fore-paw, and as the rope straightens with a "plunk," the horse braces itself desperately and the bear tumbles over. Whether he regains his feet or not the cowboy keeps the rope taut; soon another noose tightens over a leg, and the bear is speedily rendered helpless.
They say it winds round the lungs, and tightens them up. Anyhow, there's many a one as works in a carding-room, that falls into a waste, coughing and spitting blood, because they're just poisoned by the fluff. 'But can't it be helped? asked Margaret. 'I dunno.
