So Jurgen left the Black House of Barathum: and Jurgen also left Grandfather Satan, erect and bleak in his tall marble chair, and with his eyes gleaming in the dim light, as he sat there restively swishing his soft bushy tail, and not ever turning his mind from an ancient thought. Why Coth was Contradicted
But this is all beside the mark, you will say; and you will be chafing restively to know how Dick and I had come together in this troop of Colonel Washington's; to know this in a word and to pass on at a gallop to the happenings which followed. Nay, in fancy's eye I can see you turning the page impatiently, wondering where and when and how this tiresome old word-spinner will make an end.
When it came to this, Ellen was a long time silent, so long a time that her mother was beginning restively to doubt whether she was going to speak at all. Then she drew a long, silent breath. "I suppose I ought to despise myself, momma, for caring for him, when he's never really said that he cared for me." "No, no," her mother faltered. "But I do, I do!" she gave way piteously. "I can't help it!
"It's very good, Alma," she said. Colonel Woodburn remained restively on his side of the table. "Of course, Mr. Fulkerson, you were jesting, sir, when you spoke of printing a sketch of my daughter." "Why, I don't know If you object ? "I do, sir decidedly," said the Colonel. "Then that settles it, of course, I only meant " "Indeed it doesn't!" cried the girl. "Who's to know who it's from?
Horse and rider stood for a moment silhouetted against the sky. The horse chafed at his bit.

The next moment she burst into gleeful laughter. Aunt Hannah looked grieved, and not a little surprised; but Billy did not seem to notice this. "Oh, oh, Aunt Hannah you, too! How perfectly funny!" she gurgled. "To think you two old blesseds should get your heads together like this!" Aunt Hannah stirred restively, and pulled the black shawl more closely about her.
She knew this grim thing was upon a terrible mission, and that it would reappear again at the head of the little passage between Santo's stall and the wall, almost at the sentry's elbow; and yet when she saw a faint indication as of a form crouching there, a scream from an utterly new alarm almost escaped her. The sentry's arms, after all, were not of granite. He moved restively.
Don was crying encouragement to his players, but from the way in which he moved restively about it could be seen that he was far from easy in his mind.
