I envy him to be sitting there, and never a skeleton tugging at his sleeve." Mrs. Petullo gulped a sob, and gave a single glance into his face as he stared across the room. "Why do you hate that man?" she asked, suddenly. "Who?" said he smiling, and glad that the wild rush of reproach was checked. "Is it monsher? I hate nobody, my dear Kate, except sometimes myself for sin and folly."
Nayland Smith was standing staring vaguely before him and tugging at the lobe of his left ear. "Come along!" he snapped suddenly. "We have no more to learn here: the clue to the mystery must be sought elsewhere." There was that in his manner whereby I knew that his thoughts were far away, as we filed out from the River Police Depôt to the cab which awaited us.
He sat warily on his haunches, squeaking angrily, and turning his sharp head from side to side as he followed every swoop and rush of the He imp, snapping so dangerously that the latter did not dare come quite close enough to deliver another really effective blow. At the same time, being very clever indeed, the rat kept tugging, tugging, tugging at the cord.

"Come back," Clay shouted to them. "That's all right. He was only obeying orders. That's one of King's sentries."

Then the light of the fire went out, the sun sank behind the mountains, and the five could no longer see the little group of captives and captors. They still waited, although eagerness and impatience were tugging at the hearts of every one of them.
"Yes, yes " and eager fingers were tugging at an old-fashioned locket hanging to a slender chain around her neck. "See here she is her eyes are brown and her hair all curled around her face, and her lips was just like a rose and her face oh, her pretty face " Drusilla studied the picture carefully.
