girl cat offering
He rose, offering his hand to Evanlyn to assist her. Even though she was lithe and athletic as a cat, she took it, enjoying the contact. She saw Horace's slight frown as she did so and smiled to herself. A girl can never have too many admirers, she thought. Will seemed unperturbed by the fact that she retained hold of Selethen's hand a little longer than politeness dictated. But then, Ranger's were trained to look imperturbable. He was probably seething with jealousy, she thought.
girl fighting edginess
Fighting positions, please, ladies...' 'That's debatable,' Halt said in an undertone to Will as they stood watching... 'The 'fighting' part or the 'ladies' part?' Will replied with a grin. Halt looked at him and shook his head. 'Definitely the 'ladies,'' he said. 'There's no debate about the 'fighting.'' Will shrugged. He knew there was an edginess to the girls' relationship and that it had something to do with him. Why that should be so was beyond him.
girl two cabins
The two girls disappeared into the stern cabin once more. Will watched them go, then asked Halt, 'Anything you'd like me to do? Grow a beard? Learn to walk like a rooster?' 'If you could stop asking facetious questions, that'd be a start,' Halt told him. 'But it's probably a little late in life for you to do that.
eventually top
We will eventually have this place top notch.
food good sounds waste
It sounds like a good idea so as not to waste food.
arm ball focused mentally motions target throw time totally
They are totally opposite. The arm motions are completely different. Mentally though, you've got to be there in both. You've got to be focused. You can't just go out and throw the ball anywhere. Every time you throw the ball, you've got to have a target and be focused on that target.
princess home thinking
Now for God's sake, will you two start behaving like a princess and a Courier?" Halt told them. "If you don't, I'll have to think about sending Will home.' 'Me?' Will said, his voice breaking into a high-pitched squeak of indignation. 'What's it got to do with me?' 'It's all your fault!' Halt shouted irrationally.
cutting comforting half
I'll be getting you for this,' Halt had told him as he dabbed the diguisting mixture on the worst of the cuts. 'That soot is filthy. I'll probably come down with half a dozen infections.' Probably,' Horace had replied, distracted by his task. 'But we'll only need you for today.' Which was not a very comforting thought for Halt.
bowl confidence gave good last reason top weekend
Last weekend gave us confidence that when we bowl like we can, we're a very good team. If we do that again, I see no reason why we can't be in the top 10.
change found good line stayed
I just found the line I was comfortable with and stayed with it. I'm left-handed, so the lanes don't change much. It was a good day.
figured game hits
I figured if we got the first game it would keep us going. The hits and everything.
came china cotton demand exports good increase news seen surprise
The increase in U.S. exports came as a surprise and it's good news. Export demand for U.S. cotton is very good and encouraging to the market. The U.S. exports are to go to China as seen in their increase in imports.
dark land water
I wonder," she said. "Does this castle have a moat?" A group of servants were busy emptying the privy buckets into the moat when they were startled by a sudden drawn-out cry. They looked up in time see a scarlet-and-gold clad figure sail out of a first-story window, turn over once and then land with an enormus splash in the dark, rancid waters. They shrugged and went back to work.
luck betrayed would-be
It would be unthinkably bad luck to be betrayed by a rumbling stomach.
