I decided to call 'cause I wanted you to know that I was thinking of you, although my timing seems to be all so wrong. What? Why do I make jealousy equated to primal drives of cavemen and cave mice, of mice and men? I think that is what you are asking.
Yes, it was, a wheel the water-wheel in the shrubbery by the old manor-house, which the coachman had said would drive him mad. She determined not to think any more of these gloomy things; but now that she had once noticed the sound there was no sealing her ears to it. She could not help timing its creaks, and putting on a dread expectancy just before the end of each half-minute that brought them.
They had to have colored boys to stand the heat. At this camp the flunkeys wore roller skates and an idea of the size of the tables is gained from the fact that they distributed the pepper with four-horse teams. Sending out lunch and timing the meals was rendered difficult by the size of the works which required three crews one going to work, one on the job and one coming back.
Brooding on her grievances, Maudie strolled thoughtfully across the yard, one eye always on her enemy, timing herself to be on the top of the wall just a second before the M.-w.-M. was free to bound. "Shut up, you ass!" said the girl as she released the bob-tail.
But on the other hand, on rough grounds much is left to chance and luck; cricket, as played on a billiard-table wicket certainly favours the batsman, but it admits of a brilliancy and finish in the matter of style that are impossible on the old-fashioned wicket. Whilst the modern bowler has learnt extraordinary accuracy of pitch, the batsman has perfected the art of "timing" the ball.
Half a dozen peasants stood in one of the "streets" marked by a line of rubbish-heaps which had once been their homes. Some of them had waited until the first shells came over their chimney-pots before they fled. Several of their friends, not so lucky in timing their escape, had been crushed to death by the falling houses. But it was not shell-fire which did the work.
"I wonder what on earth the little trick's going there for at this time of year," Henley mused. "It ain't tax-paying time." The sun was down when she came out. He saw her coming and got his hat, timing himself so that he would meet her, as if by accident, and walk home with her. His calculations could not have been more accurate, for she was in front of the store when he came out.
This is done by timing the rate of march with a watch, taking compass-bearings along the road, or on any conspicuous marks as, for instance, hills off it and by noting the watershed in short, all topographical objects.
The fairy had awaked and risen, and was dancing round its border with the lightness of a leaf, timing her footsteps to this song: "Who in this world would wealth and treasure share, Honor, delight, and state, and what is best, Quick let him catch me by the lock of hair Which flutters from my forehead; and be blest.
To be ignorant of the value of a suit, is simplicity; as well as to be ignorant of the right thereof, is want of conscience. Secrecy in suits, is a great mean of obtaining; for voicing them to be in forwardness, may discourage some kind of suitors, but doth quicken and awake others. But timing of the suit is the principal.
