"Ballantyne was found in the morning outside the tent stone-cold. But no one had heard the shot, and there were sentries on the edge of the encampment. He had been dragged outside after he was dead or when he was dying." A low cry broke from Thresk. The weak point became of a sudden the most deadly, the most terrible element in the whole case.
'Miss Melmotte, you do not know the glorious west. Your past experiences have been drawn from this effete and stone-cold country in which passion is no longer allowed to sway. On those golden shores which the Pacific washes man is still true, and woman is still tender. 'Perhaps I'd better wait and see, Mr Fisker. But this was not Mr Fisker's view of the case.
Jan leapt out of bed, switched on the light and tore away the screen from around his bed. Yes; his doleful little face was tear-stained. "Tony, Tony darling, what is the matter?" "I don't know," he sobbed. "I feel so funny." Jan put her hand on his forehead far from being hot, the little face was stone-cold. In a moment she had him out of bed and in her warm arms.
She swallowed the stone-cold, half-remaining coffee in her cup and rose and stretched herself, arms and back and bust, like a magnificent animal, the dark green, silken knitted jumper that she wore revealing all her great and careless curves, and drew a long breath and smiled at me. "I've not slept for two nights and I've walked twelve miles this morning. I'll turn in till dinner." She yawned.
Your crime is, that you are so stone-cold to a poor devil who loves you." She burst into a rather shrill laugh. I wonder whether she thought I meant Johnson. "Who are you speaking for, Mr. Locksley?" she asked. "Are there so many? For myself." "Honestly?" "Honestly doesn't begin to express it." "What is that French phrase that you are forever using? I think I may say, 'Allons, donc!"
You that are verteous rise! you that have fathers! Ho, Master Provost! ô my deerest father. Some Surgeons, Surgeons! Enter Provost & Servts. Prov. 'Twas the Boyes voice, certaine. Ser. What bloody sight is this? 'has killd himself: Dead, stone-cold dead; he needs no art of Surgeons. Prov. Take of the Boy. Boy. O let me dwell here ever. Prov.
When men invent something with a mother's heart, they had better name it angel and admit that the kingdom has come. Bless my soul; these biscuits I brought over for you-all's breakfast are stone-cold!" "I've had my breakfast a half a day ago," I answered. "You go in and start father and Uncle Cradd off with the biscuits while I finish the nest and and do some more things for my family fortune."
"Perhaps it might be better to-morrow." "And perhaps it mightn't," said Tembarom, eating "break-fast-food" with a cheerful appetite. "What you can't be stone-cold sure of to- morrow you drive a nail in to-day." He ate a tremendous breakfast as a discreet precautionary measure. The dark dining-room was warm, and the food was substantial. It was comfortable in its way.
"The War Office is quite calm about it now; we've got 'em stone-cold. Foch is in supreme command, and there are any number of Divisions in reserve which haven't been called on. We're only waiting to know if this is the real push, or only a feint, and then we strike. We've got 'em trapped, old top, no doubt about that." "Right-o, strategist!" I retorted in the same vein.
I like things all fair and above-board, myself. "Brier, come to breakfast. It's getting stone-cold. Never mind that young'un, he's gone to take the cow to pasture, and I can give him a piece when he comes back." Obedient to the summons, the gentleman in question laid down a damp copy of the Weekly Clarion, and seated himself at the table.
