The nervous twitch was to be seen again in her face, and she seemed to be trying to control it. "What for?" she said. "For my kindness to you," replied Miss Minchin. "For my kindness in giving you a home." Sara went two or three steps nearer to her. Her thin little chest was heaving up and down, and she spoke in a strange, unchildish voice. "You are not kind," she said. "You are not kind."
Nettie noted both circumstances with a little surprise; but, not connecting them in the most distant degree with herself, turned round with a little twitch of Freddy's arm to go away, and in doing so almost walked into the arms of her older and more faithful friend.
The sudden twitch landed us both upon the sandy road, under the pile of sheepskins we had used for a seat. In this dilemma the major called loudly for assistance, swearing that if the stage driver would but stop he would give him battle to his satisfaction.
He undertook to speak, paused, wet his lips, then carefully chose these words: "Do you mean that he did not that she is a good girl?" "Absolutely." He sat down weakly and passed a shaking hand over his face, which had begun to twitch and jerk again as it had on that night when his vengeance was thwarted. "I may as well tell you that I know she's more than that. She's honest and high-principled.
He saw her lids twitch and knew she lived. Yet even as he thanked God and took a firmer hold on her, consciousness lapsed again, and with it all realization of time or of events. Yet though the moments or were they hours? which followed left no impress on his brain, some intelligence must have directed Stern.

Then, see how he is consulted, and his opinion followed, by rich folk as well as poor folk, all about the neighbourhood. I am sure John is as popular, and has as much influence, as many a member of parliament." John smiled with an amused twitch about his mouth, but he said nothing. He rarely did say anything about himself not even in his own household.
Before I go to the feast I will take a hasty plunge in my bath, for I twitch in every limb, I feel as if I had got dirty in their company. "There lie my clothes and my sandals; strap them on for me, and tell me as you do it how you lured the Roman into the toils."
"I ain't done nothing! You can't prove I done nothing! You " "Shut up!" interrupted Kansas Casey, giving the handcuffs an expert twitch that wrenched a groan out of McFluke. "Proving anything takes time. We got time. You got time. What more do you want?" The efficient deputy towed the saloon-keeper round the bar and out into the barroom. He faced him about in front of Jake Rule.
"Since you say you are willing to take forty thousand kroner for the farm, I'll buy it at that figure," he said. Halvor's face began to twitch, and a lump seemed to rise in his throat; he had to swallow before he could speak. "Thank you, judge," he finally stammered. "I'm glad that I can leave the farm in such good hands!"
