All of which it might have been open to me to feel I had uncannily promoted.
It served her turn now. The gym was lighted only by moonlight, and silent as silence itself. The girls tittered. "Isn't the joke on you, Bev?" asked Aileen. "Oh look! Quick!" whispered Sally. Beverly merely nodded. At the further end of the room something glowed uncannily.
A strikingly handsome, arrogant figure he made, uncannily like the Velasquez in the library. At the face of Madame de Staemer I looked long and searchingly. She had not neglected the art of the toilette. Blinds tempered the sunlight which flooded her room; but that, failing the service of rouge, Madame had been pale this morning, I perceived immediately.
Bark echoed bark above the deep mutter of the breakers, and the echoes along the cliffs answered both uncannily and mockingly. They were a raven, disturbed from her wool-quilted nest, and her mate; but if they had been hobgoblins straight from an evil dream, they could not, in that immense, grim setting, have been much more impressive.
Count Landrassy had lived his life in many capitals up to the limit of his vitality, and was still covetous of notice from the sex who had, in a checkered career, given him much pleasure, and had provided him with far more anxiety. But he was almost uncannily able and astute, as every man found who entered the arena of diplomacy to treat with him or circumvent him.
Hilary spoke jauntily, with hungry, unquiet, seeking eyes that would not meet Rosalind's. She was afraid that Rosalind would find out that she wanted to be cured of being miserable, of being jealous, of having inordinate passions about so little. Rosalind, in some ways a great stupid cow, was uncannily clever when it came to being spiteful and knowing about you the things you didn't want known.
When I looked up again, I was driving along the bottom of a wide road gap formed by tall and stately poplars on both sides trees which stood uncannily still. The light of the moon became less dim, and I raised my eyes. That band of cloud for it had turned into a band now, thus losing its threatening aspect had widened out and loosened up.
From a point not a foot over the great couch, as though oozing from the air itself, blood began to drop, faster and ever faster, pouring out of nothingness. And out of that same air, now a dozen feet away, leaped the face of Larry bodyless, poised six feet above the floor, blazing with rage floating weirdly, uncannily to a hideous degree, in vacancy.
The woods seemed uncannily silent, and the air thick and heavy, so that the white aisle of the river blurred into dusk at its farther reaches. It grew darker, a peculiar fuliginous darkness, which was not of the gloom of the forest. Yet no smell of smoke was in the air, and in the sky were no clouds. "Looks kind of funny," thought the boy, and glanced toward the river.
It was early the next morning that I rejoined Craig at the laboratory. I found him studying the solution which he had extracted from the blood-soaked gauze after first removing the blood in a little distilled water. Before him was his new spectroscope, and I could see that now he was satisfied with what the uncannily delicate light-detective had told him.
