I ducked just as the first strand broke somewhere down the line and came whipping over the sideboards.

Everybody left and I stayed in the pool, then Lou came back alone and leaped into the pool too.

I was so scared well, I just ran to my car and came here ''.

He was looking out on the dark waters of the Lake when I came upon him and without wasting words I smacked him hard across the face.

`` When I came up, damnit, I thought I was going down.

Dr. Lalaurie and I didn't even know he was in the house until the night of our ball when he came down the stairs ''.

His letter had suggested we meet at my hotel at noon on Sunday, and I came into the lobby as the clock struck twelve.

But the time came when I was no longer innocent and therefore no longer helpless.

After scouring around a bit in the open area, I came across what proved to be tar-soaked logs which crackled and burned brightly, giving off vast rolls of smoke into the ashen sky.

I came under the spell of a younger group in the church led by the pastor's older son.

Try as I might to confess my sins and accept salvation, no answer came to me from heaven.

I bethought me of the Lord's Prayer, and these words came to mind: `` Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven ''.

This was taken after I came to live in Springfield, and it was made under the guidance of the Reverend Raymond Beardslee, a young preacher who came to the Congregational Church there at about the same time that I moved from New York.

The first time I went there he asked me to bring him water from Flagler's well -- water that reminded him of his first days in the mountains -- and before I came the next time I filled a five-gallon jug for him and brought it to the hospital.

`` I get up early.

`` I made you so you could stand up.

Help me up, I feel kind of stiff ''.

We'll still have the rifle, and I might be able to round up some more.

Far up the valley I could see the Rees circling and reorganizing.

Now under me I could see him for what he really was, a boy dressed up in streaks of paint.

I figger it's probl'y a sixty-five-mile walk, and I c'n maybe get this spring patched up in a couple of hours ''.

I heard o' Texas cattlemen wrappin' a cow thief up in green hides and lettin' the sun shrink 'em and squeeze him to death.

I don't know what you're up to, but when Brenner '' --

`` A body would swear I floated right up here on a cloud ''!!

Besides, 'tain't no more'n right for me to follow with my black oxen, so's I can unhook and pull up fast if either of you get in a pinch ''.

Just as I straightened up with my duffel bag, I heard: `` Sahjunt Yoorick, meet Mrs. Major J. A. Roebuck ''.

I let up on the accelerator, only to gradually reach again the 60 m.p.h. which would, I hoped, overhaul Herry and the blonde, and as there were cars whose drivers apparently had something more important to catch than had I, Mrs. Major Roebuck settled down to practicing on Corporal Johnson the kittenish wiles she would need when making her duty call on Colonel and Mrs. Somebody in Sante Fe.

She stood up, pulled the coat from her shoulders and started to slide it off, then let out a high-pitched scream and I let out a low-pitched, wobbling sound like a muffler blowing out.

He caught up with me once and grabbed me, but I was all covered with zing -- it's very slippery, you know ''.

I was waiting in front of it when she showed up and told me of my Uncle's indisposition.

I bent and kissed the still pink neck and suddenly she jumped up, and her two arms encircled me in a bear-like crush.

When I show up he will know you are a good wife to have told him about it ''.

A few minutes later I saw my Uncle's car drive up and a woman's figure emerge and walk to the corner.

I must say the figure was well made up.

Often, I heard my uncles and cousins speak of it when I was a small boy growing up in Rabaul.

`` I know you've got a grudge against me, and maybe I can't blame you.

`` I think maybe you're right, Schaffner '', he said.

Curly hair, high cheekbones, wide gnomelike mouth, a pair of drummer's blocky hands, and a body that said well, maybe I can wrestle you for ten minutes -- but then I'm finished.

I made plans for the afternoon -- doing the breakfast and luncheon dishes all at once, making the beds, and then maybe painting the kitchen.

`` I think that maybe she wanted it this way '', a vice squad cop said.

Or maybe I call you -- tonight??

But I thought maybe Tony Elliott could pinch-hit for me.

`` Because maybe I won't have to wear it always.

Dr. Fortman says if I exercise my leg more, maybe I can use a cane when I'm big ''.

I grabbed her arm and she turned on me and for a scared second I thought that maybe Wally was right, and she was crazy.

" I thought, oh well, maybe nobody will notice it, but not at all.

In her own defence, Bardot wrote in a letter to a French gay magazine: " Apart from my husband — who maybe will cross over one day as well — I am entirely surrounded by homos.

I can't answer that, and maybe they don't exist, but I want them to.

Of the more than 200 studio albums I ’ ve produced in the past forty plus years, there is a handful ; maybe fifteen or so that I can actually listen to from top to bottom.

I think we're gonna do more of an EP ; maybe do like, 3 or 4 more songs.

His ships, the Boussole and Astrolabe, anchored off the northern side of the island on 13 January 1788, but at the time high seas were running that made it too dangerous for the two ships ’ boats that were put out to attempt a landing: “ It was obvious that I would have had to wait maybe for a very long time for a moment suitable for a landing and a visit to this island was not worth this sacrifice ”, he recorded in his journal.
