`` Mr. Morgan, it's the best-looking food I ever saw ''.

I saw you driftin away -- but I tried.

I saw that letter.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Gray Eyes rushing at me with a knife.

I saw the pony fall like a stone and the young warrior flew over its head, bouncing like a rubber ball.

I saw Little Billy rise and fire almost point blank and an Indian's face became shattered flesh and bone.

I saw the clergyman kneel for a moment by the twitching body of the man he had shot, then run back to his position.

`` I saw your fire '', she said, speaking slowly, making an effort to control her anger.

With distaste I saw him assume a pompous air.

When I went for my interview with the director I saw why.

`` I never saw him.

Then I saw the father's head slightly turn ; ;

Suddenly a treble auto horn tootley-toot-tootled, and, thumbing hopefully, I saw emergent in windshield flash: red lips, streaming silk of blonde hair and -- ah, trembling confusion of hope, apprehension, despair -- the leering face of old Herry.

When I fell on my back, I saw a vulture hovering.

Looking back I saw a gray-haired man getting out of his halted car and trying to read our license number.

I saw Johnson's bottle snatched from his hand, saw it go in a swirl of foam just behind the second car.

One Monday morning I saw him approach the store with a woman and introduce me to her as my new Aunt.

And that is the way I first saw her when my Uncle brought her into his antique store.

I thought I saw a faint surge of color rise to her neck and quickly suffuse her cheeks.

And you wanted no part of me when I had so much to give.

As I dug in behind one of the bales we were using as protection, I grudgingly found myself agreeing with Oso's logic, especially when I imagined what would have happened to Missy if Old Knife's large party of screeching warriors had overrun our company.

In the brief moment I had to talk to them before I took my post on the ring of defenses, I indicated I was sickened by the methods men employed to live and trade on the river.

Next to him was a young boy I was sure had sat near me at one of the trading sessions.

At first I thought he had missed.

Later I would remember what this pompous little man had told me about the worth of a ticket.

One afternoon, upon receiving permission and the necessary instructions from the clerk, I had visited the toilet adjoining the hall.

For although I had crossed a corner of the hall on my way to the toilet I still could not tell for sure how far to the rear the darkness extended.

I could observe the two fans down at the end, but their size in themselves meant nothing to me as long as I had no measure of comparison.

I had for some time been hoping, in vain, for one of the dim figures to pass between the fan vents and myself.

It was, I felt, possible that they were men who, having received no tickets for that day, had remained in the hall, to sleep perhaps, in the corners farthest removed from the counter with its overhead light.

And I had hardly finished my business in the toilet on the aforementioned occasion when the lights in that place, like the hall lights controlled from the switch in the office, flicked off and on impatiently.

I had signed it off on the forms.

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

Forced to realize that this was the end of a very short line I scanned a road marker and discovered what the end of a slightly longer line would be for the old Mexican: Moriarty, New Mexico.

After making a short statement about human rights, and the freedom to travel, I told them I would be going to the Kehl bridge the next morning in order to cross the Rhine into Germany.

I believe there are seventeen short plays by Tom now housed in the Houghton Library at Harvard ; ;

But he, as I can now retort, was the man who could see so short a distance ahead that after a visit to Russia he gave voice to the famous exclamation: `` I have seen the future and it works ''.

Upon a visit to a local junior college last week, I was shocked to see the young ladies wearing short shorts and the young men wearing Bermuda shorts.

As for this rider, I never saw him before or afterwards and never saw him dismounted, so whether he stood tall or short in his shoes, I can't say ; ;

`` Chickens have short memories '', the doctor remarked, `` that's why they are better company than most people I know '', and he went on to break some important news to Alex.

In my short period here I believe that at no time has he been otherwise than the most popular man on both sides of the aisle.

Why it was ever forgotten for even a moment I cannot say because it works perfectly for everyone, no matter whether he has short or long thigh-bone lengths!!

Did he trouble to memorize the very small part which I had `` tailor-made '' to his specifications, a role eventually cut down to three short speeches??

This behavior on her part subsided only after I had come to see the uncomfortably close similarity between, on the one hand, her arranging the ventilation of the common living room to her own liking, or turning the television off or on without regard to the wishes of the others, and on the other hand, my own coming stolidly into her room despite her persistent and vociferous objections, bringing my big easy chair with me, usually shutting the windows of her room which she preferred to keep in a very cold state, and plunking myself down in my chair -- in short, behaving as if I owned her room.

I couldn't see him, but the electric bugging device gave steady beeps when it was straight ahead, short half beeps when the car I was following was to the left, and long drawn-out beeps when it turned to the right.

I took a short swallow from it myself and handed it to him.

When he handed it back and I had hold of it safely, Pops was looking toward me and I said `` Now '', to Charlie and he swung the short length of lead pipe he'd meanwhile taken from his pocket, once.

If you draw the short straw I'll lend you some bread, like fifty bucks, before I take off to visit my sister in Frisco.

I think you fell short of the real truth in the matter: That the move is working out through the fine cooperation of the staff and all the people.

As a short, possibly not the best method, I looked up `` Word '' in the Concordance and noted that the Bible claims from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22 to be God's personal message to man.

And then I remembered a few years before after their return from a short trip to Rome I had heard her boast, over and over again, `` On the boat people liked me for myself ''.
