"It's what it says, mon ami; look see it is exactly as I read it." "Are those Spaniards crazy?" muttered the vicomte, tugging at his imperial. "Look, Helen, read what the next day's journal says."
The horse of one of the Gardes de Paris was alone heard snorting in the centre of the space which had been kept clear. Then came a loathsome scramble, a scene of nameless brutality and ignominy. The headsman's helps rushed upon Salvat as he came up slowly with brow erect. Two of them seized him by the head, but finding little hair there, could only lower it by tugging at his neck.
We had felt sure that he would be there; and the Doctor had intended to give him some extra instructions about the food for the animals we had left at the house. At last, after much pulling and tugging, we got the anchor up and undid a lot of mooring-ropes.
"But look 'ere," said the scandalised Bill, tugging at his sleeve; "you ain't dead, Jack." "You don't understan'," said Mr. Blows, impatiently. "They know wharri mean; one 'undereighty pounds. They want to buy me a tombstone, an' I don't want it. I want the money. Here, stop it! Dye hear?"

The Archbishop entered the gloomy castle with a sense of defeat tugging down his heart to a lower level than he had ever known it to reach before; for in days gone by, when fate had seemed to press against him, he had been in the thick of battle, and had felt an exultation in rallying his half-discouraged followers, who had never failed to respond to the call of a born leader of men.

She stopped short, listening intently. "Help! Aboard the submarine!" This time, though the appeal seemed to come from a great distance, she distinguished the words. "Something wrong with the diving boat, and someone aboard!" she thought, with a tugging throb at the heart. Turning, she sped down to the water's edge. "Help! help! The boat is sinking, and I'm helpless aboard."
"Nay, but we started as balls shot from a falconet." "Peace, peace, return him the pallio," whispered a racer behind him, tugging apprehensively at his one garment. "They always adjudge it again to the first winner." But the young man was reckless. "Why did not the captain stop us, then?" he asked. "Keep thy tongue between thy dog's teeth," retorted the Judge.
The bookkeeper told me I could sleep on the lounge, but you can have it, and I will turn in on the floor. I ain't no hog. Sometimes they think we are a little rough up in Wausau, but we always give the best places to the wimmen, and don't you forget it," and he began tugging on the boot again.
