Felix, who, no more than any one else, could keep his gaze off the trapped creature, felt again all the sensations of the previous afternoon. "Guilty? or, Not guilty?" As if repeating something learned by heart, Tryst answered: "Not guilty, sir." And his big hands, at his sides, kept clenching and unclenching. The witnesses, four in number, began now to give their testimony.
A rage which he dared not let her see seized him, and he sat silent, clenching and unclenching his hands. She saw his condition and pressed him without mercy. "He is a character, isn't he? An odd one, but attractive?" Duncan sneered. "He pulled you out of the quicksand, of course. Anybody could have done that, if they'd been around. I reckon that's what makes him 'attractive' in your eyes.
What do you think 'Master Arthur' is likely to have taken to?" "Something easy," muttered Renouard without unclenching his teeth. "Hunting man. Athlete. Don't be hard on the chap. He may be riding boundaries, or droving cattle, or humping his swag about the back-blocks away to the devil somewhere. He may be even prospecting at the back of beyond this very moment."
Robert Cairn turned, choking, and went downstairs. In the hall stood Felton and some other servants. "Miss Duquesne?" "She has recovered, sir. Mrs. Hume has taken her to another bedroom." Cairn hesitated, then walked into the deserted library, where a light was burning. He began to pace up and down, clenching and unclenching his fists. Presently Felton knocked and entered.
"This is a case of grim necessity," he added. Kauf hurried off and we made our way across the yard to the stairs leading down into the basement and to the projection room specified by Kennedy. Here Manton was waiting, uneasy, flushed, his face gathered in a frown and his hands clenching and unclenching in his nervousness. "Do you do you know who it is?" he demanded. "Not yet," Kennedy replied.
He was standing by the lip of the pit, clenching and unclenching his fists, shivering, sweating, and periodically groaning. A thought struck me, and I promptly gave him the benefit of it without reserve. "We're in a nice pickle, Mr. Weems, aren't we? You've spent a lot of the money you're so close-fisted about, and will have to travel cheap if you mean getting home again.
This was a different person altogether, hot-eyed, white-lipped, snarling. "Your fault if she dies here, dies of thirst; your fault if they get in here and carry her off, those filthy brutes out there." "They'll never ... get her," said Jimsy King. His face was scarlet and he was breathing hard and clenching and unclenching his hands. "Yes," Carter sneered, "yes! I know what you mean!
She was afterwards absolutely unable to describe to herself clearly what happened the next moment. In fact, it was the next moment that she saw Hester spring towards her, and the glass of milk had been knocked from her hand and rolled, emptying itself, upon the floor. Mrs. Osborn stood before her, clenching and unclenching her hands. "Have you drunk any of it?" she demanded. "No," Emily answered.
In a paroxysm of mingled anger and consternation Macoma sprang to his feet as did all the rest of the priests and for several seconds the king and the chief priest faced each other, the one smiling sardonically at the effect of the bomb which he had hurled into the enemy's camp, while the other stood clenching and unclenching his hands as he racked his brain in the effort to find an answer to what he had sense enough to understand was a personal challenge on the part of the king, and a challenge, moreover, which, unless he could quickly find the right answer to it, might very easily result in utter disaster to himself.
She began clenching and unclenching her hands dramatically, working herself into that frenzy of emotion and regret which was her most notable characteristic. All at once she stopped. There was another letter in another handwriting on cheaper paper. "Ruby" was the signature. "Dear Eugene:" she read "I got your note several weeks ago, but I couldn't bring myself to answer it before this.
