Not ungently, she refused my hand or any assistance, and came down among the rest of the party. I could not but feel a strange wonder at the powerful side of her character just shown her courage, her cool daring. In her face now there was a look of annoyance, and possibly disgust, as well as of triumph so natural in cases of physical prowess.
"Mon Dieu! it cannot be!" he exclaims, with a sigh. "There was a mark; but no, no, no! it cannot be!" He leans forward, seizing the girl, though not ungently, by the wrist. Her sleeve is torn open, and the arm laid bare to the shoulder. "No, no!" he again exclaims; "it is not there. It is not she." He turns from them.
A man got out and came towards him. The raw sunlight caught only his face and shoulders. He seemed to wade towards him waist deep through a grey sea. Lord Lossiemouth again! Lord Lossiemouth's heavy tired face showed sharp and white in the garish light. "I have been looking everywhere for you," he said, not ungently.
And, "Good stuff, you end!" approved the coach, while Tom, beaming, patted him ungently on the back. The scrimmage was over a minute later, and, although the second had triumphed by that goal from the field, the third trotted back to the gymnasium feeling very well pleased with themselves. They had had their baptism by fire and had acquitted themselves well.
Doctor Manette, whom this visitation had so turned into stone, that he stood with the lamp in his hand, as if be woe a statue made to hold it, moved after these words were spoken, put the lamp down, and confronting the speaker, and taking him, not ungently, by the loose front of his red woollen shirt, said: "You know him, you have said. Do you know me?" "Yes, I know you, Citizen Doctor."
I said, with much trembling, "that I thought I could spell out the words, if time and patience were accorded me." "There is little need, child," the voice resumed. "I will read it to thee;" and a black-gloved hand came from beneath her robe, and she took my hand, and holding my forefinger not ungently made me trace the writing on the silver.
He caressed his mother and murmured incoherently, as had Tump Pack. Presently the master of the launch came by, and touched the old negress, not ungently, with the end of a spike-pole. "You'll have to move, Aunt Ca'line," he said. "We're goin' to get the freight off now." The black woman paused in her weeping.
Seeing him, the woman tottered to her feet with a cry of alarm, and shaded her bleared eyes from the inrush of daylight. She gabbled shrilly, but she knew only Erse, and Colonel John attempted no explanation. "The lady of the house," he said, in that tongue. And he laid Flavia, not ungently, but very quickly, on the floor.
"Catherine?" Charles Nagle turned her round, ungently, and forced her to look up into his face. "Have you ever thought what 'twould be like to live at the Eype?" The question startled her. She roused herself to refute what she felt to be an unworthy accusation. "No, Charles," she said, looking at him steadily. "God is my witness that at no time did I think of living at the Eype!
These charges are partially based on something that occurred here last year, of which I had no knowledge. "Mrs. Weatherbee! I insist on knowing at once what these charges are!" Judith was on her feet, her usually good-natured face dark with righteous indignation. "Sit down, Miss Stearns," commanded the matron not ungently.
