He was thinking that the way she had responded to his own kiss hadn't meant what he had believed it had.

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

He stood watching the girl, wondering what was coming next.

But her prettiness was what he had noticed first, and all the other things had come afterward: cruelty, meanness, self-will.

That girl last night, what was her name??

The town was about what Wilson expected: one main street with its rows of false-fronted buildings, a water tower, a few warehouses, a single hotel ; ;

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

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

Was I sure, he asked, that I knew what I was applying for??

Facing the forest now, she who had not dared to enter it before, walked between two trees at random and headed in what she believed was the direction of the pool.

But she'd known plenty of handsomer guys, and, conceding his good looks, what was there left??

Now, he could only play the last card in what was probably the world's coldest deck.

He had found Curt's weakness, or what to Jess was a weakness, and was smart enough to take advantage of it.

He knew now what he was up against.

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.

At once my ears were drowned by a flow of what I took to be Spanish, but -- the driver's white teeth flashing at me, the road wildly veering beyond his glistening hair, beyond his gesticulating bottle -- it could have been the purest Oxford English I was half hearing ; ;

Anyway, it was evident what he had in mind ''.

As far as I was concerned, she had already and had dandily shown what she could do.

I myself was fond of him but what a young woman half his age saw in him was a mystery to me.

Our lifeboat was filling rapidly and despite what I had heard of the inhabitants of Eromonga, I was glad to see a long and graceful outrigger manned by three bronzed girls glide out of a lagoon into the open sea and toward our craft.

What had caught his attention was obscured by the car itself, so that neither the girl nor the truck drivers could see, but Benson knew what it was.

As I got off the trolley at Kehl bridge the next morning, I was met by what looked like 5,000 students, some of whom were carrying sticks apparently for the coming `` battle '' with the police.

Ulyate and Kearton climbed on toward the sound of the barking of the dogs and the sporadic roaring of the lion, till they came, out of breath, to the crest, and peering through the branches of a bush, this is what Ulyate saw: Jones who had apparently ( and actually had ) ridden up the nearly impassable hillside, sitting calmly on his horse within forty feet of a full-grown young lioness, who was crouched on a flat rock and seemed just about to charge him, while the dogs whirled around her.

The boy had, apparently -- if Mrs. MacReady was right in what she had told Mullins -- only in recent months been forced to give up college, to work as a busboy.

There is considerable speculation as to why the observable universe is apparently composed almost entirely of matter ( as opposed to a mixture of matter and antimatter ), whether there exist other places that are almost entirely composed of antimatter instead, and what sorts of technology might be possible if antimatter could be harnessed.

Early travelers in Asia sometimes describe a kind of military amok, in which soldiers facing apparently inevitable defeat suddenly burst into a frenzy of violence which so startled their enemies that it either delivered victory or at least ensured what the soldier in that culture considered an honourable death.

The management of building societies apparently could expend considerable of what is actually the organization's time and resources planning their effective capture of as much of the assets as they could.

Utilitarianism, in answering this charge, must show either that what is apparently immoral is not really so or that, if it really is so, then closer examination of the consequences will bring this fact to light.

" Cyril had apparently understood the Greek word physis to mean approximately what the Latin word persona ( person ) means, while most Greek theologians would have interpreted that word to mean natura ( nature ).

Lacking a strong general to control the by-now mostly barbarian Roman Army, Honorius could do little to attack Alaric's forces directly, and apparently adopted the only strategy he could in the situation: wait passively for the Visigoths to grow weary and spend the time marshalling what forces he could.

In Spanish " sustituir " means " replace " so that " sustituir A por B " means " replace A with B " or " substitute B for A ", the opposite of what it apparently might look like.

Stephen Milligan was found dead having apparently auto-asphyxiated whilst performing a solitary sex act ( his Eastleigh seat was lost in what was to be an ongoing stream of hefty by-election defeats ).

On 24 August 2011, Marcus Atkinson, a local Loch Ness boat skipper, photographed a sonar image of a long 5 ft wide unidentified object which was apparently following his boat for two minutes at a depth of 75 ft. Atkinson ruled out the possibility of any small fish or seal being what he believed to be the Loch Ness Monster.

This view has been criticised by some Marxists ( especially Trotskyists ) who characterized this approach as ' substitutionism '- or what they saw as the misguided and apparently non-Marxist belief that other groups in society could ' substitute ' for the revolutionary agency of the working class.

According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, the " deep tension between the Kantian moral imperatives and a Nietzschean diagnosis of the modern cultural world is apparently what gives such a darkly tragic and agnostic shade to Weber's ethical worldview.

Strauss argued that the unavoidable nature of such arms races, which have existed before modern times and led to the collapse of peaceful civilizations, provides us with both an explanation of what is most truly dangerous in Machiavelli's innovations, but also the way in which the aims of his apparently immoral innovation can be understood.

There never seems to have been a clear definition of what was what ; there were apparently far fewer staff-weapons in use than there were names to call them by ; and contemporary writers up to the seventeenth century use these names with abandon, calling different weapons by the same name and similar weapons by different names.

On the other hand, what appears to be the first known example of " Robin Hood " as stock name for an outlaw dates to 1262 in Berkshire, where the surname " Robehod " was applied to a man apparently because he had been outlawed.

Brichtothe states that it is " not mere sentimental respect for the physical remains that is ... the motivation for the practice, but rather an assumed connection between proper sepulture and the condition of happiness of the deceased in the afterlife " According to Brichtothe, the early Israelites apparently believed that the graves of family, or tribe, united into one, and that this unified collectivity is to what the Biblical Hebrew term Sheol refers.

Most of his arguments were in the form of examples that were anecdotal or speculative in nature, and functioned as attempts to show how " exotic " grammatical traits were connected to what were apparently equally exotic worlds of thought.

Many Subud members believe that this experience, apparently arising from within each person, provides them with something of what they currently need in life.

An accompanying book, Cosmographiae Introductio, anonymous but apparently written by Waldseemüller's collaborator Matthias Ringmann, states, " I do not see what right any one would have to object to calling this part is, the South American mainland, after Americus who discovered it and who is a man of intelligence, Amerigen, that is, the Land of Americus, or America: since both Europa and Asia got their names from women ".

The German word Zeitgeist is one such example: one who speaks or understands the language may " know " what it means, but any translation of the word apparently fails to accurately capture its full meaning ( this is a problem with many abstract words, especially those derived in agglutinative languages ).

Whist has long been noted for its influence upon what is termed the calculating power ; and men of the highest order of intellect have been known to take an apparently unaccountable delight in it, [...]"

This piece of apparently routine work proved very fruitful — it led to the discovery that all the stars of very faint absolute magnitude were of spectral class M. In conversation on this subject ( as I recall it ), I asked Pickering about certain other faint stars, not on my list, mentioning in particular 40 Eridani B. Characteristically, he sent a note to the Observatory office and before long the answer came ( I think from Mrs Fleming ) that the spectrum of this star was A. I knew enough about it, even in these paleozoic days, to realize at once that there was an extreme inconsistency between what we would then have called " possible " values of the surface brightness and density.
