`` I guess I'll find out soon enough.

`` Just as soon as I go to the bank, and '' --

Suddenly and not a second too soon I thought of the coins in my pocket.

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

The debate needed no additional controversy and soon I could ask each individually what he expected from life, what his hopes were and what his fears.

I left the party as soon as possible and got into a taxi.

`` I care not how soon we reach Calcutta, and are placed in a still room, with a bowl of milk and a loaf of Indian bread.

I was in charge of the arrangements -- which were soon enough disarranged.

Somebody, got to be somebody If I don't put my two cents in soon, somebody else will I know they're waitin only for one thing: for the bastards what done it to be nailed.

My first thought was how had it happened so soon, but I counted back on my fingers and sure enough we'd been living together six weeks.

`` Please come down as soon as you conveniently can '', the upright letters stalked from the broad-nibbed pen, `` I have an important matter to discuss with you ''.

As soon as they are large enough to move, I put mine 9 inches apart where they are to bloom.

`` I expect to be tough as a knott as soon as I get over the Georgia Shitts ''.

Many years later ( on August 3, 1915 ), Lucy Upton wrote Winslow's daughter soon to be graduated from Smith College: `` While I love botany which, after dabbling in for years, I studied according to the methods of that day exactly forty years ago in a summer school, it must be fascinating to take up zoology in the way you are doing.

I am told the time will soon come when women will find it necessary to do most of their own work, and even now it is important to have conveniences for the use of servants.

I knew that I'd soon be back working as an orderly at the hospital or as a counterman at Union News or Schraffts while waiting for another acting job to open.

It suddenly occurred to me that I did not particularly like acting, that I was at some sort of crossroads and would have to decide soon what I was going to do with my life.

I turned left too soon and got a signal showing that I was still behind him but he was to the right.

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.

I came up maybe fifty feet before I knew what was happening ''.

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

This light did not penetrate very far back into the hall, and my eyes were hindered rather than aided by the dim daylight entering through the fan vents when I tried to pick out whatever might be lying, or squatting, on the floor below.

No sooner would I turn my head away from the counter before he would address me, at times quite sharply, in order to bring back my attention.

`` I feel like getting back to town, that's what I feel like!!

If I don't come back in the house, Breed's going to '' --

`` Got a lot to tend to, but I'll get back quick as I can '', he assured her.

I waved with discretion and moderation to the vague golden faces fading through rising dust and the distortions of the back window glass.

I would have foregone my romantic chances rather than leave a friend sweltering and dusty and -- Well, at least I wouldn't have shouted back a taunt.

I drew back, drawing back my foot for a kick.

`` Hell, yes '', I roared back between dusty lips.

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 looked back at pale ovals framed in the elongated oval of the car's rear window.

I didn't get a good look at him at all, his back was to me, and I was so scared It was just somebody in a man's suit.

There I got my Colt Special and shoulder harness, slipped my coat on, and went back into the front room.

It'll probably be at least an hour or two before I can check back with you.

`` They knew I was a good sharecrop farmer back in Carolina, but out West was a chance to build a real farm of our own.

I heard a cry from a stoker as a pillar of flame leaped from a hatch and tongued the man's bare back.

`` If I don't come out within half an hour ride back to town and bring out a posse ''.
