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

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.

`` But I still think Penny's an awful nice girl, Russ '' --

She was still hugging the stained coat around her, so I said, `` Relax, let me take your things.

The keys were still in it, and I was miles away before I remembered that my clothes and purse and everything were still in the little cabana where I'd changed ''.

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

In the bedroom before the husband and wife find their way to the bed, the lights go on: `` In dull domestic radiance I watch her staring face, still blind, Start wincing in obedience To dirty waters, counters, pots and pans, Waiting below stairs, in her mind ''.

`` Well, I get it '', Artie said, still on the ladder.

today, these many years later, after all the temptations resisted or yielded to, the weasel satisfactions and the engulfing dissatisfactions since endured, I call it corrupting still.

`` 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 still have the dress, and I hope to give it to the Smithsonian Institution as a memento, or, as I more fondly hope, to present it to a museum containing articles showing the daily lives of the Presidents -- if I can get it organized.

It was not until we had returned to the city to live, while I was still at Brown and Sharpe's, that I felt the full impact of evangelical Christianity.

I became fifteen, sixteen, then twenty, and still Tessie Alpert sat on the porch with a rose in her hair, and Alfred got richer and sicker with diabetes.

And although they were, as I have indicated, under increasing strain at the time of Racine, they are still alive in his theatre.

To the Weston house came once William Allen Neilson, the president of Smith College who had been one of my old professors and who still called me `` Boy '' when I was sixty.

There were several men of ninety or more whom I knew first or last, all of whom were still productive and most of whom knew one another as if they had naturally come together at the apex of their lives.

However, at eighty-five, he had still been busy writing articles, reviewing and speaking, and I had never before known an Englishman who had visited and lectured in three quarters of the United States.

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

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

I felt certain that the director, like the afternoon clerk, seldom moved beyond the counter, that the hall, to them, was a jungle, a dark and unwelcome place.

We've been starving and I don't like to starve ''.

Donald Kruger would like nothing better than to hold him as hostage, and I wouldn't entrust a snake to his tender care.

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

Don't like to bother no one unless we have to, which I figger we do, in your case.

`` That I can't answer, for I can't imagine something like this happening to me.

Like Luis, I can't see something like this happening to me.

`` So help me, Crouch, I'd like to kill you where you stand, but, before I do, I'm going to hear you admit killing him.

Rod shifted his eager eyes from the milling group out in the circle long enough to reply, `` I ain't much of a hand for Dare-Base and Farmer-in-the-Dell, but I'd sure like to get in on the handhold and wrestles ''.

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.

I swam like mad, got out of the pool, grabbed my robe, and ran to the car.

However, when there's a job to be done, I'm a monstrosity of grim determination, I like to think.

At first, I thought he was out of his head, talking wildly like this.

You hate me, you hate my guts, because I like to hunt.

But when it happens to you like that, I tell you, and you're a hundred feet from where you thought you were -- well, it makes you think.

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.

Once, pressing him, I learned that his job was only part-time, in the afternoons when nothing went on in the hall.

Now, here was something of obvious importance to me, yet when I reached for the tickets he snatched them away from my hand.

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.

I felt strongly attached to the hall, however, and hardly a day passed when I did not go to look at it from a distance.

At last, when I put it to him directly, the clerk was forced to admit that the delay in my case was unusual.

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

If I hadn't got Nate stopped when I did, my duds'd all be shot plumb to hell!!

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.

`` No, I remembered reading about you in the papers and that you lived here, and when it happened all I could think of was '' -- This time she stopped the rush of words herself.

In fact, I was watching you on that little seventeen-inch screen when you rang my bell.

I was loaded with suds when I ran away, and I haven't had a chance to wash it off.

`` Only when I do it ''.
