It wasn't long after the dinner, things had been washed up, and the Colonel settled down to the magazineshe was reading the advertisements nowthat Potts drew out his watch.

He stood up, worn and tired, and looked at his watch.

The fringe of the course blazed with ladies' finery, and a tent had been set up with a wide awning from which the fashionables could watch the sport.

Her cheeks were flushed, and it was pretty to watch her excitement; how she hung breathless on the movements of the field, and clapped her hands at a brave finish.

To each was allotted his proper station, in case of attack, and we kept watch in succession like soldiers in war.

We stood our watch till a wan sunrise struggled up the hill-side.

Just outside the stockade we dug as best we could a shallow trench, while the muskets of the others kept watch over us.

"Yon should be Sir Gilles' watch-fires!"

"Look'ee, master," whispered Roger, "we may not cross by the ford because of the watch-fires'tis a fair light to shoot by, and the river is very deep hereabouts.

Must I set a guard beyond the ford, think you, or will the four watch-fires suffice?"

And leaning thus, Beltane marked well where the sentinels lolled upon their pikes, or marched drowsily to and fro betwixt the watch-fires, and long he gazed where the horses were tethered, two swaying, trampling lines dim-seen amid the further shadows.

And thus he presently espied a man who leaned him upon a long pike, his face set toward the nearest watch-fire: and the man's eyes were closed, and he snored gently.

"He said he'd be here at noon," I said, and glanced at my watch.

Johnnie continued to watch with fascinated eyes; Shade was on his feet now, reaching into the bowels of the machine to do mysterious things.

It's fascinating to watch the development of so fine a mind which has lain almost entirely fallow to the culture of schools.

I'd rather watch Johnnie dance, anyhow; but she would have me try for myself.

But as long as you hang off the way you do about our marryin', and I git word of you carryin' on with other folks, I'm goin' to stay where I can watch you.

A woman's face disappeared for a moment from the shadowy front-room window, only to reappear and watch unseen.

Presently Cartwright looked at his watch.

I liked to watch her about the house; dainty and fastidious in the extreme about some things, utterly careless about others, you never knew where or when either trait would show itself next.

Being near eight bells, the watch on deck had been not over spry; and the consequence was that our big main-course was slatting and flying out overhead with a might that shook the ship from stem to stern.

All the most forcible expressions of the Commination-Service were liberally bestowed on the watch.
