After that-well, we shall trust to luck for what we shall find." Where do you live?" "Yes. "Shadow!" yelled Tom, unconsciously adding to the din tha... | 207 | 207_131203_000029_000001 | male | |
But there is not one of them to mend another.--Have you read Markham?" said Miss Vernon. "There he goes," said the young lady, following him with eyes in which disdain was admirably painted-"the prince of grooms and cock fighters, and blackguard horse coursers. His drooping brush, his soiled appearance, and jaded trot,... | 5246 | 5246_5084_000016_000001 | male | |
He had decided that, although he was not particularly youthful, the language and manner of a respectful son to a revered father would best befit the occasion. "Do what?"

During this whole time of low tide, the islanders lurked near the Nautilus, but they weren't boisterous. I climbed onto the platform. I ventured a knock at the door opening into the capta... | 835 | 835_130876_000031_000000 | male | |
Nothing less than the resignation of his beloved Clichy was now asked of him by this friend to whom he owed so much. Nearly all the priests of Paris had passed through his hands at the ordination retreats and those who belonged to the "Tuesday Conferences" were intimately known to him.

Good. How about those muffins you had this morning for breakfast, and that cake last night? "Good! He seized an axe and in a couple of chops felled a tree.

You might have stayed away, I suppose, if you would?" "They are like imprisoned singing birds," replied I, "condemned to wear out their lives in confinement, which they try to beguile by the exercise of accomplishments which would have adorned society had they been left at large." I was bound in point of honour to foll... | 5246 | 5246_5084_000027_000005 | male | |
From this time he believed he was the only person in the world who had the secret of opening the cave, and that all the treasure was at his sole disposal. He then made the best of his way to town.

I then, however, examined it with attention, and found it, to my great relief, uninjured. What could it be? My implements were all safe, and, fortunately, I had lost neither ballast nor provisions. From behind the huge bulk of one of those sharply defined masses of cloud already mentioned, was seen slowly to emerge int... | 6373 | 6373_65772_000023_000001 | female | |
CHAPTER three. No, I won't. I know his tricks now." GRIT WINS THE BATTLE Tad, however, forewarned, had freed his left foot from the stirrup and was standing easily over his fallen mount, eyes fixed on the beast's ears, ready to resume his position at the first sign of a quiver of those ears. Tad shook out the rein, at ... | 64 | 64_73712_000005_000000 | female | |
I hurried to the door and when I opened it saw a woman standing in the dark hall. I'd be ever so pleased. I wanted to cross the footlights and help the slim waisted Armand in the frilled shirt to convince her that there was still loyalty and devotion in the world. The actress who played Marguerite was even then old-fas... | 1913 | 1913_147989_000004_000003 | male | |
They understood. Not a little tuppenny damn. What the devil does it matter to me whether I get into Parliament or not? The agent, not being versed in speculations regarding the attributes of the Deity, stared; then, disinclined to commit himself, took refuge in platitude.

"Oh, nothing to thank for!" she answered, but drew a long sigh, and walked on. Oeyvind did not see him when he came out after dinner, and thought immediately of the fox. Why should he not climb up and help himself? What was the great owl trying to get at, when the precious fish were all spread out before her? He conclu... | 7061 | 7061_85635_000058_000000 | male | |
think! It could sail round a lake, and sail round the world-a strange craft with two objects, good for a pond and good for a storm.

"Do you mean to say that a Presidential campaign does not keep your nerve centres in a constant state of pleasurable titillation? You wouldn't yourself rent a furnished residence to a man whose children were known to have built bonfires in the parlor of their last known home, would you?" If he has children, the voters ... | 4064 | 4064_77779_000006_000001 | female | |
"How is that?" "Not exactly," replied the mendicant. A week or so ago, mr Thornton Lyne, your employer, was found dead in Hyde Park. "For what?" "The invitations are given for this evening," said the coadjutor, "but the violins will not begin to play until to morrow morning."

"Victory?" Abruptly it was perfectly clear to him that this revolt against Ostrog was premature, foredoomed to failure, the impulse of passionate inadequacy against inevitable things. "Smashed?" In a short time he had the satisfaction of hearing Lippy attempt, of her own accord, to sing one of the hymns that had taken ... | 1603 | 1603_139325_000017_000001 | male | |
That speech pleased Uncle john, and as the hardware merchant bowed and turned away, mr Merrick said in his cheeriest tones: "He's quite right, my dears, and we're lucky to have found such a fine, roomy place for our establishment.

"Who does?" "Good evening. Even old Diogenes, who spent his life looking for an honest man, would have to admit every four years that he could spot him instantly by merely coming to this country and taking his choice from among the several candidates." "I don't know yet. I fairly gloat over these quadrennial political ... | 4064 | 4064_77779_000013_000001 | female |
