That one seemed inclined to turn back, but the other, in which Edith recognised enough that was like herself to strike her with an unusual feeling, not quite free from fear, came on; and then they came on together. The greater part of this observation, she made while walking towards them, for her stoppage had been momentary.
When it is considered how much the sailors would feel from the stoppage of their allowance of grog, and that this offer would deprive them of it during the inclement season they had to expect on their ensuing expedition to the north, the sacrifice must be looked upon as generous and extraordinary; and, that they might not suffer by it, Captain Clerke substituted, in the room of the very small quantity the major could be prevailed on to accept, the same quantity of rum.
A very desirable condition in connection with the combination of a finisher card and a draw-head is that the two distinct parts should work in unison. In the machine under consideration, the feed and delivery rollers of the card stop simultaneously with the stoppage of the draw-head mechanism.
But it had left London behind, and the last stoppage was in front of a beautiful June landscape. A thick meadow with a square weather-beaten church showing between the spreading trees; miles of green corn, with birds flying in the bright air, and lazy clouds going out, making way for the endless blue of a long summer's day.
As the horse bent on his haunches to spring, he gave him a smart cut with the whip, went over like a rocket, and plunged up to the neck in the snow-drift; which brought his career to an abrupt conclusion. The sudden stoppage of the horse was one thing, but the arresting of Master Charley was another and quite a different thing.
'As far as I can make out, he died from oh, anything; stoppage of the heart's action, heat-apoplexy, or some other visitation, said Spurstow to his companions. 'We must make an inventory of his effects, and so on. 'He was scared to death, insisted Lowndes. 'Look at those eyes! For pity's sake don't let him be buried with them open!
"Well, the flow of water has ceased completely. That's what I'm here for. The major sent for me, and I've been to examine it." "And is that stoppage so very important?" she said dubiously. It was his turn to look at her wonderingly. "If it's LOST entirely, it means ruin for the ranch," he said sharply. He wheeled his horse, nodded gravely, and trotted off.
Let nobody cry out, then, on the present occasion. Lady Lundie was in bed. Her ladyship had received Blanche's written announcement of the sudden stoppage of the bridal tour; and had penned the answer to Sir Patrick the receipt of which at Ham Farm has been already described.
At this time the gifts to Francis ceased, and such an important part of her existence had they become that their stoppage grieved her more than the threats of the invasion. One day while thus engaged she uttered an ejaculation and bent forward to take a nearer view of a prisoner who was just brought within by way of the Byward Tower through which lay the main gate to the Tower.
Then Loubet's fertile intellect evolved an idea: "It is like enough that that pig of an Emperor has sat himself down in the road, with his baggage, on purpose to keep us here." The idle fancy was received as true, and immediately spread up and down the line; everyone declared that the imperial household had blocked the road and was responsible for the stoppage.
