Burns motioned to sit down, dropped into one of the swivel-chairs round the table, and kept his eyes on me as persistently as ever, and with that strange air as if all this were make-believe and he expected me to get up, burst into a laugh, slap him on the back, and vanish from the cabin.
The Shadow Line by Conrad, Joseph View in context
When I returned to my seat, that lady was just delivering an order of which I did not catch the import; but Burns immediately left the class, and going into the small inner room where the books were kept, returned in half a minute, carrying in her hand a bundle of twigs tied together at one end.
Jane Eyre by Bronte, Charlotte View in context
The nut burns with a fitful bluish flame, and the oil that it contains is exhausted in about ten minutes.
