The bullet had torn through the flesh just above the knee, inflicting an ugly gash that was forming a pool of blood on the floor.

The place had been cheap -- just the little he had left after Amelia's burial -- and it would serve its purpose.

I was at once disappointed, although just what I had expected him to look like I could not have explained.

Tom had been laying for Aaron McBride for a long time, just waiting to catch him out of line.

Andy Ross had just started swinging an ax at his second willow when the distant blast of a rifle sounded.

Now, he was just in the late poems of Holderlin and therefore had most of the nineteenth century before him -- plus next semester's class preparation.

At first it had been just a romantic dream of his, the same as the idea of finishing Oxford after the war.

And he would have enjoyed it just as much if he had been a Nazi.

He had his voice under control again: no one became aware that he was terrified by what had just happened to him.

Henrietta, however, was at that time engaged in a lengthy correspondence with Joe's older and more serious brother, Morris, who was just about her own age and whom she had got to know well during trips to Philadelphia with Papa, when he substituted for Rabbi Jastrow at Rodeph Shalom Temple there during its Rabbi's absence in Europe.

This included Mamma, jolly, generous, and pretty, with whom they all fell in love, just as Papa had first fallen in love with her Mamma before he chose her ; ;

And just as `` Laurie '' Lawrence was first attracted to bright Jo March, who found him immature by her high standards, and then had to content himself with her younger sister Amy, so Joe Jastrow, who had also been writing Henrietta before he came to Johns Hopkins, had to content himself with her younger sister, pretty Rachel.

I've had a trying day and I just can't make it out again '', I told them.

There was the Neapolitan, Ribas, a capable conniver whose father had been a blacksmith but who had fawned his way up the ladder of Catherine's and Potemkin's favor till he was now a brigadier ( and would one day be the daggerman designated to do in Czar Paul 1,, after traveling all the way to Naples to procure just the right stiletto ).

These illiterate boors conscripted from villages all across the Czarina's empire had, Suvorov may have told Lewis, just two things a commander could count on: physical fitness and personal courage.

He had seen a few nester wagons go through the country, the families almost starving to death, but he had never seen any of them on foot and as bad off as these two.

He told himself he had never seen two people eat so much.

The moon had sunk below the black crest of the mountains and the land, seen through eyes that had grown accustomed to the absence of light, looked primeval, as if no man had ever trespassed before.

It looked as Gavin had first seen it years ago, on those nights when he slept alone by his campfire and waked suddenly to the hoot of an owl or the rustle of a blade of grass in the moon's wind -- a savage land, untenanted and brooding, too strong to be broken by the will of men.

They had been seen as soon as they left the ranch, picked out of the darkness by the weary though watchful eyes of two men posted a few hundred yards away in the windless shelter of the trees.

Although I had been inside it I had not yet seen it functioning.

He had looked over my forms and was impressed by what he had seen there ; ;

It was all right to put a bunch of ranchers onto horses, to call them Night Riders, to set out to attack the largest mining combination the country had ever seen if all they wanted was adventure.

Joyce had seen him like this once before -- more than once, actually, but on one particularly memorable occasion.

The mere fact that the tall figure with the rifle and field glasses had been seen riding that way was enough to frighten three rustling homesteaders out of the Upper Laramie country in a single week.

By 1898, rustling losses had been driven down to the lowest level ever seen in Wyoming.

There had been a good second or two during which my muffler had been blowing out, and now I was certain I'd seen her somewhere before.

I had seen two of them and we would soon be in another city-wide, joyous celebration with romance in the air ; ;

My new Aunt was perhaps three or four years older than I and it had been a long time since I had seen as gorgeous a woman who oozed sex.

Perhaps her eyes were larger and more of a summer blue for all they had seen and wept that day.

He had never seen clouds like them before, but he had the primitive feel of danger that gripped a man before a hurricane in Carolina.

Matisse's work had an enormous influence on him, and on his understanding of the expressive language of color and the potentiality of abstraction.

The painting that was singled out for the most attacks was Matisse's Woman with a Hat ; the purchase of this work by Gertrude and Leo Stein had a very positive effect on Matisse, who was suffering demoralization from the bad reception of his work.

Picasso had unleashed a vein of feeling that was to have immense consequences for the art and culture of the modern era while Matisse's ambition came to seem, as he said in his Notes of a Painter, more limited — limited that is, to the realm of aesthetic pleasure.

Back in the house a hoodlum named Red Buck, sore because Billy had been allowed to leave unscathed, jumped from a bunk and swore he was going after him to kill him right then.

On the morning of November 17th, Cornwallis and 2,000 men had left Philadelphia with the object of capturing Fort Mercer at Red Bank, New Jersey.

Berto's The Sky Is Red had been a small masterpiece and in its special way the best book to come out of the war.

No matter how determined or wealthy boating lovers of the Southwest had been, for example, they could never have created anything approaching the fifty square-mile Lake Texoma, located between Texas and Oklahoma, which resulted when the Corp of Army Engineers dammed the Red River.

Starting in great force late in December, from a line stretching from East Prussia to Budapest, the Red armies had swept two hundred miles across Poland to the Oder, thirty miles from Berlin, and the Upper Danube region was being rapidly overrun, while the Western Allies had not yet occupied all of the left bank of the Rhine.

The West had long since forgotten the events of 1919, but it was not so easy for the Red leaders, who felt that they had suffered great injustice in that period.

If Red had a show at Gloucester, Handley would hurry to hang his pictures in Rockport.

The success of his children's books was to become a source of considerable annoyance to Milne, whose self-avowed aim was to write whatever he pleased and who had, until then, found a ready audience for each change of direction: he had freed pre-war Punch from its ponderous facetiousness ; he had made a considerable reputation as a playwright ( like his idol J. M. Barrie ) on both sides of the Atlantic ; he had produced a witty piece of detective writing in The Red House Mystery ( although this was severely criticised by Raymond Chandler for the implausibility of its plot ).
