Now Marian always maintained that archery, on their own lawn, and among themselves, was a very pretty sport; and for the sake of consistency with her own principles, she very diligently shot whenever the Faulkners were not there, and did her very best, by precept and example, to make Clara fit her arrows to the string in her own direct and purpose-like way, draw the bow-string to her ear with a steady effort and aim, instead of a fitful jerk or twitch; and in fact shoot, if she was to shoot, like a sensible woman, who really intended damage to the target.
"You don't think, then," he said, breaking the silence that had fallen upon them, "that this er marsh gas could have caused the death of Wynne and Collins? Burnt 'em alive, so to speak?" Cleek did not move at this question. They merely saw his shoulders twitch as though he didn't wish to be bothered at the moment.
A policeman patrols in the distance; otherwise there is not a soul visible, and the whole harbour is hushed in quiet. I count my belongings once more half a penknife, a bunch of keys, but not a farthing. Suddenly I dive into my pocket and take the papers out again. It was a mechanical movement, an unconscious nervous twitch.
Not I, for one, but the wind's stronger than any of us. I hope you'll condescend to admit that!" "Ha, ha!" laughed Van Mounen, who could barely keep his feet. "So it is." Just then the weather vanes telegraphed to each other by a peculiar twitch and, in an instant, the gust came. It nearly threw the strong-chested Carl; it almost strangled Jacob and quite upset Ludwig.
Naturally she addressed Anthony as Roderick and he addressed her as Flora. This was all the acting that was necessary to judge from the wincing twitch of the old man's mouth at every uttered "Flora." On hearing the rare "Rodericks" he had sometimes a scornful grimace as faint and faded and colourless as his whole stiff personality. He would be the first to retire. He was not infirm.
"Keep him away, keep him away," screamed Joel, trying to turn his back on both of them. But Polly caught sight of a dangling thing hanging from his clenched hands. "Oh, Joel!" She gave one scream, "It's a snake!" "I know it," said Joel, trying to twitch back again; "it's an ugly mean old adder, Polly, but he's most dead. I've squeezed his neck." "Let me see him," cried Polly. "Turn around, Joel.
Do you think it would be right for them to keep you away from us, even if they did love you very, very dearly?" Ruth's head hung low and nobody spoke until she lifted her face with a tear-wet smile, "Jan! Prince Jan!" she called in her high, sweet voice. They saw the muscles of the sleeping dog twitch. The big paws moved slightly, as though in his dreams he was running to answer that name.
I'm not so mad, anyhow, as the marchesa, who shuts up her palace on the festival, and offends St. Nicodemus and all the saints and martyrs," and Carlotta's eyes flash, and her white eyebrows twitch. "However" and again she lays her bony hand heavily on Brigitta's fat arm "if you don't want to hear what I know about Casa Guinigi, I will not tell you." Carlotta shuts up her mouth and nods defiantly.
The reasoning was close and intense, but the deductions appeared to me to be far-fetched and exaggerated. The writer claimed by a momentary expression, a twitch of a muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom a man's inmost thoughts. Deceit, according to him, was an impossibility in the case of one trained to observation and analysis.
"I b'lieve I do, mum; I really b'lieve I do. That left leg give a kinder twitch just as you spoke." "Of course it did! Of course it did! You are in the sea of Infinite Thought, floating, floating like a chip on the water. The evil ways of falsehood, doubt and unbelief are trying to beat you away from the Current of Truth, but no! it shall not be!
