"Light the lantern," he said unsteadily. Nayland Smith, who again had been peering suspiciously about into the shadows, struck a match and lighted the lantern which he carried. He turned to the solicitor. "Be calm, Mr. Henderson," he said sternly. "It is your plain duty to your client." "God be my witness that I doubt it," replied Henderson, and opened the door. We descended the steps.
He was gone several minutes, and when he came back with some sandwiches in a tin bucket, and a dozen scarlet radishes dripping in his hand, he stopped appalled. Robin was at the extreme end of the tunnel, sitting on the ground, laughing and crying and talking extravagant nonsense. Had she really gone mad, at last? Adam put down the bucket, and walked toward her unsteadily.
He was gone almost as noiseless as a vision. Razumov ran forward unsteadily, with parted, voiceless lips. The outer door stood open. Staggering out on the landing, he leaned far over the banister. Gazing down into the deep black shaft with a tiny glimmering flame at the bottom, he traced by ear the rapid spiral descent of somebody running down the stairs on tiptoe.
"That's why," he went on, "'everything, for me, is here and now: on this bench, between you and me." She caught at the phrase. "That's what I meant: it's here and now; we can't get away from it." "Get away from it? Do you want to? Her heart was beating unsteadily.
He wandered unsteadily along the beach, falling occasionally, moaning piteously through his parched, open lips; and when he reached the obstructing ridge of rock, turned blindly into the bushes at its base, and followed it until he came to a pool of water formed by a descending spray from above. From this, on his hands and knees, he drank deeply, burying his lips as would an animal.
"I'd rather have you and Tom run them ten times over," declared Dora. While the party was talking the two chauffeurs came from the hotel and walked unsteadily towards the automobiles. Their faces were red and their eyes blinked unsteadily. "Stop!" called Dick, when they were some distance away, and the gardener and some guests of the hotel gathered around to see what was the matter.
Von Stinnes walked with his arm linked in Dorn's. Before the latter's room he halted. "Good night, sweet prince," he mumbled drowsily, "and may angels guard thy sleep." Alone, he moved unsteadily down the hall. Mathilde was gone. Moving about the room, Dorn found a note left for him. He read: "A man was here asking for you. An American officer.
Far off in the distance two buzzards circled about over something that was dead or dying. Perhaps it was a man at the thought the girl rose unsteadily to her feet. She could not stay alone another moment in this horrible place; she would go and find Scott, if she had to brave Angel Gonzales to do it.
You don't want to be a thin-blooded little old maid, do you?" The shot was well aimed, for Eleanor had no desire to follow in the arid footsteps of her two spinster aunts. She looked at Captain Phipps unsteadily and shook her head. "Of course you don't," he encouraged her. "You aren't built for it. Besides, it's an actress's business to cultivate her emotions rather than repress them, isn't it?"
"Patricia mistook you for a rabbit, I think," returned Christopher grimly and added to her in a low voice, "Do you know you struck him, Patricia?" She gave a shiver and put her hands to her face. Even then he did not leave go of her wrists. "A happy fluke you didn't aim so well as I did," called Geoffry, unsteadily coming towards them. "Don't come," said Christopher sharply. "Wait a moment.
