There was plenty of room, and before long we were all lying down in various attitudes. Bob turned himself into a spread-eagle by lying upon his back, and tilting his cap over his nose as he announced that he was going to sleep.
"He is a jolly nuisance," says Mr. Browne. "He hasn't got much soul, if you mean that," says Roger "'A primrose by a river's brim, A yellow primrose is to him And it is nothing more." "That is such utter nonsense," says Dulce, tilting her pretty nose and casting a slighting glance at her fiancé from eyes that are "The greenest of things blue, The bluest of things gray."
I drove on straight towards it, and presently I saw in the midst of the tumult, and by the light of the fish, a bit of splintered spar looming over me, and a dark hull tilting over, and some glowing phosphorescent forms that were shaken and writhed as the fish bit at them. Then it was I began to try to attract Widgery's attention. A horror came upon me. Ugh!
"Oh, they have swimming, tilting contests, canoe races, diving and I don't know what all." "Did you ever go in any of them?" inquired John. A solemn expression came over Fred's face as he said, "Yes, once." "What did you go into?" "I tried to walk the greased pole. There was a silver cup on the end of it and the fellow who could walk out and take it could claim it." "Did you get the cup?"
Happar!”—the warriors tilting with their spears and brandishing them in the air, and the women and boys shouting to each other, and picking up the stones in the bed of the stream. In a moment or two Mow-Mow and two or three other chiefs ran out from the grove, and the din increased tenfold.
Andray Dunnan, his thin face contorted and the narrow mustache writhing on his upper lip; he had a slit beside the window open and was tilting the barrel of a submachine gun up and out of it. He shouted, and at the same time tripped Elaine and flung her down. He was throwing himself forward to cover her when there was a blasting multiple report.
He grasped the edge of the berth in which the skipper crouched. "Hell! I bes nigh perished entirely wid the cold, skipper!" he cried. "Then swallow this," said the skipper, leaning down and tilting a bottle of brandy to the other's lips. "I found it right here in the bunk, half-empty; aye, an' two more like it, but wid nary a drop in 'em. There, Nick, that bes enough for ye."
"She has called to see her mother," said Lewisham. "You, I believe, are Mr. Chaffery?" "I would like to know who the Deuce you are?" said Chaffery, suddenly tilting his head back so as to look through his glasses instead of over them, and laughing genially. "For thoroughgoing Cheek, I'm inclined to think you take the Cake. Are you the Mr. Lewisham to whom this misguided girl refers in her letter?"
In every fight it has the last and bitterest blow. Run tilting at it, and you but run through it. Ha! a coward wind that strikes stark naked men, but will not stand to receive a single blow. Even Ahab is a braver thing a nobler thing than that.
All forms of human agony and doom were known to this people; but now they were promised an unfamiliar sight, that of Frankish knights slaying each other in single combat beneath the silent moon, tilting at full gallop upon a narrow place where many might hesitate to walk, and oh, joy! falling perchance, horse and rider together, into the depths below.
