He had seen a few nester wagons go through the country, the families almost starving to death, but he had never seen any of them on foot and as bad off as these two.

He told himself he had never seen two people eat so much.

Start out fresh, the two of us, like nothin had ever happened ''.

They had been seen as soon as they left the ranch, picked out of the darkness by the weary though watchful eyes of two men posted a few hundred yards away in the windless shelter of the trees.

His looting of the orderly room had taken only a minute or two and the vicinity was still clear of guerrillas.

And they had almost everything they needed: land, a house, two whiteface bulls, three horses.

He had spent two hours riding around the ranch that morning, and in broad daylight it was even less inviting than Judith Pierce had made it seem.

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.

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.

) Rumor had it he slipped two small rocks under each victim's head as a sort of trademark.

He stepped inside Jess's guard and landed two blows to the big man's belly, putting everything he had behind them.

Greg had the stick forward and the throttle up before he heard the two `` Rogers ''.

There had been a good second or two during which my muffler had been blowing out, and now I was certain I'd seen her somewhere before.

A call to the police had been placed from here a couple of minutes after nine P.M., and the first police car had arrived two or three minutes after that -- 10 minutes ago now.

I had come to New Orleans two years earlier after graduating college, partly because I loved the city and partly because there was quite a noted art colony there.

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

Packing a small suitcase, informing her husband whom she found in Harry's Bar that she was taking a train to Germany to get away for a while, patting his arm, refusing a drink, getting on the train -- all this had only taken her two hours.

She had driven up with her husband in a convertible with Eastern license plates, although the two drivers knew nothing at the moment about that.

In two minutes the body of Tilghman's former comrade, who had been killed by Blue Throat in a gambling brawl the previous night, was carried into the town's funeral parlor to be prepared for decent burial.

Though the four boys and two girls, the youngest nineteen years of age, the oldest twenty-four, came from varying backgrounds and had different professional and personal interests, there was surprising agreement among them.

But before this came about, 214,938 Americans had given their lives in battle for the two concepts of the sovereign rights of men and of states.

Two of the fluids showed a high-positive normal pressure when undergoing shear, and two showed small negative pressures which were negligible in comparison with the amount of the positive pressures generated by the other two.

The photoelectrons emitted from a circular segment of the cathode sphere are focused by the positive lens action of the two concentric spheres, pass through the ( negative ) lens formed by the anode aperture, and impinge upon the cathodoluminescent viewing screen.

At pH values between the two pKa values, the zwitterion predominates, but coexists in dynamic equilibrium with small amounts of net negative and net positive ions.

At the exact midpoint between the two pKa values, the trace amount of net negative and trace of net positive ions exactly balance, so that average net charge of all forms present is zero.

In mathematics, the arithmetic – geometric mean ( AGM ) of two positive real numbers and is defined as follows:

Critical response was positive, but with a much lower rating than the first two films.

It gained mostly positive reviews from film critics and a " two thumbs up " from Siskel and Ebert.

For positive values of a and b, the binomial theorem with n = 2 is the geometrically evident fact that a square of side can be cut into a square of side a, a square of side b, and two rectangles with sides a and b. With n = 3, the theorem states that a cube of side can be cut into a cube of side a, a cube of side b, three a × a × b rectangular boxes, and three a × b × b rectangular boxes.

By having two different temporal positive feedback loops or “ dual-time switches ” allows for ( a ) increased regulation: two switches that have independent changeable activation and deactivation times ; and ( b ) linked feedback loops on multiple timescales can filter noise.

Both of them expressed positive views over the increasing relations between the two nations and were optimistic that the bilateral cooperation will expand in different fields.

, two years after its implementation began, the security situation of inside Colombia has shown some measure of an improvement and the economy, while still fragile, has also shown some positive signs according to observers, but relatively little has yet to have been accomplished in structurally solving most of the country's other grave problems, possibly in part due to legislative and political conflicts between the administration and the Colombian Congress ( including those over the controversial project to eventually re-elect Uribe ), and a relative lack of freely allocated funds and credits.

In number theory, a branch of mathematics, two integers a and b are said to be coprime ( also spelled co-prime ) or relatively prime if the only positive integer that evenly divides both of them is 1.

However, the combined effects of ethnic and religious fractionalization, i. e. the more chance that any two randomly chosen people will be from separate ethnic or religious groups the less chance of a civil war, were also significant and positive, as long as the country avoided ethnic dominance.

An orientation chooses which of the two half-lines determined by O is the positive, and which is negative ; we then say that the line " is oriented " ( or " points ") from the negative half towards the positive half.

But there is a choice of which of the two half lines on the perpendicular to designate as positive and which as negative.

One lemma states that the difference of the cubes of two rational numbers is equal to the sum of the cubes of two other rational numbers, i. e. given any a and b, with a > b, there exist c and d, all positive and rational, such that

Du Fay announced that electricity consisted of two fluids: " vitreous " ( from the Latin for " glass "), or positive, electricity ; and " resinous ," or negative, electricity.

The covalent energy of a bond is approximately, by quantum mechanical calculations, the geometric mean of the two energies of covalent bonds of the same molecules ( which is approximately equal to the arithmetic mean-which is applied in the first formula above-as the energies are of the similar value, except for the highly electropositive elements i. e. when there is a larger difference of two dissociation energies, but the geometric mean is more accurate and almost always gives a positive excess energy, due to ionic bonding ), and there is an additional energy that comes from ionic factors, i. e. polar character of the bond.

Sources of electromagnetic fields consist of two types of charge – positive and negative.

" However, despite this positive change, Munch's self-destructive and erratic behavior involved him first with a violent quarrel with another artist, then with an accidental shooting in the presence of Tulla Larsen, who had returned for a brief reconciliation, which injured two of his fingers.
