About in A Sentence

    1

    A boss she knew little about.

    2

    A car was parked on the far side of the woods, about a hundred yards from the house.

    3

    A little girl said she would write about "Summer."

    4

    About 10 feet back into the cave water oozed from the wall, slowly dripping into a small rock pool.

    5

    About noon, I guess.

    6

    About the way he smiled, so sweet and innocent - the way his arms felt around her, so comforting and secure.

    7

    About this time I found out the use of a key.

    8

    About two hundred yards away a lone wolf stood poised for flight, watching them cautiously.

    9

    Actually there was nothing sensitive about Russell Cade.

    10

    Actually, she knew very little about the man with whom she had promised to spend the summer.

    11

    Again, it struck her that she knew little about him.

    12

    Alex was in a good mood and it was a pleasant trip - until Felipa made a comment about Tessa's visit the night before.

    13

    Alex was supposed to be sterile, but they had been wrong about that.

    14

    All experiments are fruitful if you don't have any preconceived notions about the results.

    15

    All her plans were about to blow up – all this because she had allowed herself to be drawn into a relationship.

    16

    All I could think about was my time in a coma.

    17

    All right, but I don't like being kept in the dark about all this.

    18

    All right, let's talk about something else.

    19

    All this talk about bears was frightening her.

    20

    All those folks were going about their business and now they're dead.

    21

    Allen came here to ask me questions about you.

    22

    An old prospector told me about a woman he met in Ashley.

    23

    And anyway, Cade definitely isn't romantically interested in me, so there's absolutely nothing to be concerned about.

    24

    And didn't wedding vows say something about forsaking all others?

    25

    And the price was about the same as the tiny Cape Cod house the LeBlanc's owned in expensive Massachusetts.

    26

    And yet, there was something about her that suggested she was in uncharted waters - maybe body language.

    27

    Any of our infrequent visitors or friends asking about the operation quickly developed a bleary look when we tried to explain what we did for a living.

    28

    Anyway, what's so terrible about a woman wearing pants?

    29

    Apparently Pete wasn't concerned about Bordeaux getting lost.

    30

    Are you complaining about the help, or are you jealous?

    31

    Are you worried about what Rachel said yesterday?

    32

    Aren't you the least bit concerned about whether they made it?

    33

    Aunt Clara and Uncle George couldn't find enough good things to say about you.

    34

    Because you're the one who is concerned about my safety.

    35

    Besides the couple you told me about.

    36

    Besides, I couldn't even talk about Annie without bawling my eyes out.

    37

    Betsy scootched down and put her arm about him.

    38

    Betsy stopped me as I was about to follow.

    39

    Betsy was alone on the porch but as we approached, Martha opened the screen door, her arm around a frail looking man, about five-seven, who wore an off-center toupee and a fragile smile.

    40

    Between finals and her job at the hospital, Adrienne rarely had time to think about it much, though.

    41

    Brandon was fortunate to have been raised by two people who cared as much about each other as they cared for him.

    42

    Brennan confirmed the FBI was approached and questioned about the preponderance of credible tips.

    43

    But aren't you a little concerned about what people will say?

    44

    But he had warned her about the cold - warned her about the snow.

    45

    But I don't know anything about dressing or acting like a lady.

    46

    But I don't know anything about...

    47

    But I think Julie is right about one thing.

    48

    But it didn't fit the man she had come to know, and she wasn't about to believe it simply because he hadn't made a pass at her yet.

    49

    But think about what I said, OK?

    50

    But this wasn't about intimacy - was it?

    51

    But what about a reasoned belief based on a balanced look at both history and current reality that leads you to be optimistic?

    52

    But you sent him to get information about Yancey, didn't you?

    53

    Cade was a worker; there was no doubt about that.

    54

    Cade was trying to be accommodating, but sometimes he was as skittish about conversation as the cat was about being touched - and likely for the same reason.

    55

    Can he move about?

    56

    Carmen had already spoken to Mums about it.

    57

    Carmen remained quiet for a few minutes, allowing him to think about it.

    58

    Carmen tried to shut them out by thinking about something else, but her mind kept going back to the same thing.

    59

    Carmen was looking at someone behind the camera and Alex was looking at a girl who stood about five feet from him.

    60

    Certainly not that she knew about.

    61

    Claudette has no reason to be concerned about Mrs. Cade's furniture.

    62

    Considering his comment about ambition, he probably didn't consider the education wasted.

    63

    Could he actually be serious about this?

    64

    Could she have been wrong about it all?

    65

    Davis was right about one thing.

    66

    Did Alex think about that aspect?

    67

    Did he marry Valorie for love, or because she found out about his business?

    68

    Did it ever occur to you to ask what I thought about this?

    69

    Did they know about Darcie?

    70

    Did you hear anything about Pete and the guys?

    71

    Did you see something today that we should know about, Bordeaux?

    72

    Did you tell him about us?

    73

    Didn't you have any idea how he felt about you?

    74

    Do you ever have dreams about him - I mean torrid ones?

    75

    Do you think he's one of people we tipped about to the line?

    76

    Do you want to talk about what's bothering you?

    77

    Do you want to tell me about it?

    78

    Don't worry about it.

    79

    Don't you know people talk about a woman who spends weeks out here with men - and men start to get ideas.

    80

    Each visitor performed the ceremony of greeting this old aunt whom not one of them knew, not one of them wanted to know, and not one of them cared about.

    81

    Even the way you felt about that attic.

    82

    Every night she dreamed about him - about the way his voice sounded when her ear was on his chest.

    83

    Everyone else is half-kidding about the existence of such a person but this guy knows he's for real.

    84

    Everyone probably knew about the incident with Dulce last night.

    85

    Everyone was right about Howard.

    86

    Everything came about fortuitously.

    87

    Everywhere you turned, people were speculating about, or building models of, the "House of Tomorrow," the "Car of Tomorrow," or the "Workplace of Tomorrow."

    88

    Explain about your test.

    89

    First off; we can't have you or anyone near you making any attempt to find out anything about us.

    90

    For the first time she thought about the fact that he had no commitment to them at all, yet he had risked his life for them.

    91

    For the next two hours, the women talked delightfully about meaningless things that kept them laughing.

    92

    For the next week Cynthia listened to - and even found herself instigating - discussions about Mr. Cade.

    93

    For the next week, she tried to stay too busy to think about him.

    94

    Frankly, he's a pain in the ass about everything.

    95

    Fruits and flowers grew plentifully all about, and there were many of the delicious damas that the people of Voe were so fond of.

    96

    Getting upset about it wasn't going to change anything, though, so she forced a grin as she met the troubled gaze of Fritz.

    97

    Go and get my kitten, please, Jellia, and we'll hear what she has to say about it.

    98

    Had he changed his mind about marriage?

    99

    Has Alex told you about the party?

    100

    Have you discovered anything more about him yet?

    101

    He asked if there were others and I told him about two.

    102

    He cared nothing about her.

    103

    He carried her about a hundred yards and then set her on her feet, slapping her backside with a sting that brought tears to her eyes.

    104

    He did act hesitant about it, but his encouragement sounded sincere.

    105

    He didn't care about her.

    106

    He didn't need any preconceived ideas about his little brother or sister.

    107

    He hadn't lied about any of it.

    108

    He has been here about an hour.

    109

    He laughed and muttered something about foolishness.

    110

    He looked to be about 25, but he had a 3-year-old daughter.

    111

    He may have spent time there or read about the place; we only had his word to the contrary.

    112

    He might never say anything to Jonathan about it, but Jonathan would know in other ways how he felt.

    113

    He probably thought she was getting serious about him as well.

    114

    He reiterated his concern about anyone outside our group learning of what we were doing.

    115

    He served about a dozen years for rape in California and dropped out of sight after he was released.

    116

    He talks about you - thinks about you all the time.

    117

    He thanked me and went about his daily business.

    118

    He thought she was crying about last night.

    119

    He was a very old man, bent nearly double; but the queerest thing about him was his white hair and beard.

    120

    He was attentive as Betsy and I explained our wedding plans and his hosts talked about Martha's pregnancy.

    121

    He was considering going to school but undecided about course study.

    122

    He was crazy about her.

    123

    He was thinking about it now.

    124

    He was worried about the ranch.

    125

    He wasn't worried about her.

    126

    He won't go see a doctor, and Mom's worried about him.

    127

    He worries about all of us, you know.

    128

    He wouldn't know what that was about.

    129

    He's about the same height and weight but he's younger.

    130

    He's been clear enough about that, and yet it's being pushed on him.

    131

    He's worrying very much about the new building.

    132

    His attitude toward her did an about face so obvious that even Jonathan noticed.

    133

    His house was situated seven miles from the office and about the same distance from Betsy and me.

    134

    Hopefully he wasn't talking about her.

    135

    How about approaching this scientifically?

    136

    How come I never heard about this?

    137

    How could he know she had become serious about him?

    138

    How could she stay, feeling as she did about Cade?

    139

    How did the twins feel about all of this?

    140

    How did you learn about the name change?

    141

    How high up are you talking about?

    142

    How many people knew anything about their boss before they were hired?

    143

    How would you feel if I was fighting with my brother and wouldn't tell you what we were fighting about?

    144

    Howie asked about my job and confessed he was spending far too much time doing nothing.

    145

    Howie broke out in a sweat when he thought about actually witnessing a killing.

    146

    Howie continued to be limited to about fifteen minutes or less each time.

    147

    Howie couldn't do anything about it; it happened two weeks ago.

    148

    Howie was about to become Father Abbott, a Catholic priest when a drunk in a half million dollar motor home broadsided him.

    149

    Howie, ever hyper about the security of our endeavors, forbid our even discussing any interim results by phone, thereby leaving us in the dark.

    150

    I apologize for badgering you about your mother.

    151

    I asked my mother about visiting the country or a farm and she insisted I'd never travelled anywhere but here in New Hampshire until I left for the seminary.

    152

    I didn't ask about his family tree.

    153

    I didn't have much of an idea about the cost of raising children then, either.

    154

    I didn't hire him and I have no idea what deal you are talking about.

    155

    I didn't realize you were so sensitive about it.

    156

    I didn't want to think about it.

    157

    I do recall hearing about the grandfather paradox.

    158

    I don't care about solving cases.

    159

    I don't know about friends, but there sure are a lot of people in Ashley who seem preoccupied with everything I do.

    160

    I don't know much about him.

    161

    I don't know what to say, except, don't let it make you bitter about life.

    162

    I don't know what you're talking about.

    163

    I emphasized how strongly Howie felt about resurrecting his sessions.

    164

    I feel bad about that.

    165

    I guess I never thought about that.

    166

    I guess I was wrong about both of you.

    167

    I guess it does sound dull when I talk about it, but it's never dull to me, and Alex seems to be happy with things.

    168

    I guess it means he hasn't told anyone about me.

    169

    I guess maybe hearing people talk... about their marriage.

    170

    I guess you're both excited about finding Alder's Bridge actually exists.

    171

    I had trouble sleeping on the sofa because I kept thinking about my vision from earlier.

    172

    I have no desire to interfere with something about which I know nothing.

    173

    I just wondered how you felt about him hiding things from you.

    174

    I knew I'd have to talk to you about it sooner or later, but I didn't want to hold the financial burden of an unplanned pregnancy over your head like a club.

    175

    I knew what I was about to say was far more than I wanted to offer.

    176

    I know you feel uncomfortable about driving my truck.

    177

    I know, and I feel bad about that.

    178

    I know; I'm not jelouss, but you and Martha have this thing between you that goes so far back I get dizzy thinking about it.

    179

    I lay there several minutes after I awoke and thought about what Howie experienced.

    180

    I looked up Andy Gordon and found lots of pictures of his paintings, but no pictures of him, and very little information about him.

    181

    I love thinking about the future.

    182

    I mean... about the ranch - and men?

    183

    I need time to think about it.

    184

    I only know that I sat in my mother's lap or clung to her dress as she went about her household duties.

    185

    I read about the guy.

    186

    I related Howie's comment about not letting go.

    187

    I remained seriously concerned about the toll the sessions were exerting on him.

    188

    I should have known how you felt about him.

    189

    I should have thought about it before, but it's never too late to stop doing something you know is wrong.

    190

    I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well.

    191

    I speculated out loud about giving up my job.

    192

    I spent months being probed, questioned, talked about and made to feel a freak.

    193

    I suppose I'd begin to doubt myself the more I thought about it.

    194

    I think I scared about ten years off my life too.

    195

    I think it's about time to move him from his cradle to his crib.

    196

    I think it's something about my body chemistry that they don't like.

    197

    I thought about it for the entire night.

    198

    I thought about it, but I was afraid you'd get mad.

    199

    I thought about it, not to chase you down, but so I wouldn't forget anything you might say.

    200

    I thought everybody around here knew about the Cade's.

    201

    I told you how I felt about my father.

    202

    I too wondered about my wife's rational.

    203

    I understood a good deal of what was going on about me.

    204

    I was sure he was making a mistake about the priesthood and I thought I was proving it.

    205

    I was talking about other people's children.

    206

    I was talking about the sunset.

    207

    I wasn't talking about my children.

    208

    I wondered about the step my friends were taking.

    209

    I would gladly tell all that I know about it, and never paint "No Admittance" on my gate.

    210

    I wouldn't consider doing anything about this on my own.

    211

    I wouldn't worry too much about that sort of thing.

    212

    I... I suppose you've heard about me.

    213

    I'd not told my wife about Howie's sister Annie's abduction and murder.

    214

    I'd rather not talk about it.

    215

    I'll never get to sleep worrying about him.

    216

    I'll see about some rooms at the hotel.

    217

    I'll tell you about it later.

    218

    I'll tell you what's going on; he read about this place in a book, maybe a long time ago, and now he's dreaming about it.

    219

    I'm about to starve to death.

    220

    I'm not about to go on your honeymoon with you or watch Martha undress!

    221

    I'm not about to jeopardize my job by asking all kinds of questions.

    222

    I'm sorry about last night.

    223

    I'm sorry about yesterday.

    224

    I'm sorry about your father.

    225

    I'm sorry I talked about her that way.

    226

    I'm sorry I'm so positive about this.

    227

    I'm talking about Howie's reaction to witnessing a crime being committed.

    228

    I'm worried about Howie but I don't know what to do.

    229

    I've never thought about it before.

    230

    I've set up the same old power sources as New Hampshire and I managed to gather up about a third of the same plants.

    231

    If everyone would stop talking about it...

    232

    If he didn't bring up the subject again, she wasn't about to.

    233

    If he was concerned about the police, he gave no indication.

    234

    If she had asked about the building when we passed it, I might have figured she had never seen it, but she pretended she didn't notice.

    235

    If she was wrong about him... but how could she be?

    236

    If you don't want to talk about your mother, we won't.

    237

    If you'd just tell him about the baby...

    238

    If you're concerned about a messed up head, either shave it all off or comb over the scars.

    239

    In a few minutes they had forgotten about the birds.

    240

    In a wonderful book, called "The Arabian Nights," there are many interesting stories about him.

    241

    In fact, everything about him was masculine.

    242

    In fact, she had made a different decision about it so many times that his head must be spinning.

    243

    In fact, the thing she found most attractive about Brandon was his smile.

    244

    In short, it tells us everything about ourselves.

    245

    In spite of ample opportunity to talk to him about the twins, she never brought it up.

    246

    In the meantime Betsy interrogated Howie relentlessly about any remembered details.

    247

    Is that what this is all about?

    248

    Is there some history I should know about?

    249

    Isn't it a little late to start worrying about that sort of thing?

    250

    It all seemed to be tailor made to her preferences - all but the part about staying alone in the house with him.

    251

    It did cross my mind that Mertz might have something to worry about, though.

    252

    It is a sad story, but if you will try to restrain your tears I will tell you about it.

    253

    It was a short distance from Surry Mountain Lake and park, and about seven mile from our recently established office in town.

    254

    It was also apparent that she was pleased about their discord.

    255

    It was an interesting mental exercise and said much about the desires of the participants.

    256

    It was heart wrenching when sometimes our tip failed to bring about justice.

    257

    It was something she had always liked about him, mostly because he was sincere about it.

    258

    It was too late or too early to do anything about it now.

    259

    It wasn't about you.

    260

    It will be about the end of our adventures, I guess.

    261

    It's about time he did something with this old house.

    262

    It's about time you spent some money on yourself.

    263

    It's about time you stopped acting like a child and...

    264

    It's fine to have high ideals about not going too far, but the reality of it is, it can happen before you realize what is happening.

    265

    It's so nice now to be home in the sun and have time to replenish my funds and think about my future.

    266

    It's utterly delightful with all the little school children scurrying about.

    267

    Julia had her own ideas about morality, obviously.

    268

    Julia rarely had much to say about anything lately.

    269

    Just about time I think the two of you are making progress, something like this comes up.

    270

    Just thinking about her brings back the urge.

    271

    Just thinking about something silly.

    272

    Just you light out and make for that rock, Jim; and don't waste any time about it, either.

    273

    Later that evening in their room Carmen asked him about the exchange.

    274

    Len told me about your car.

    275

    Let me think about it for a while.

    276

    Let me think about it.

    277

    Let us consider for a moment what most of the trouble and anxiety which I have referred to is about, and how much it is necessary that we be troubled, or at least careful.

    278

    Let's not argue about it.

    279

    Let's talk about it over a drink.

    280

    Let's talk about this.

    281

    Looking out, they could see into some of the houses near them, where there were open windows in abundance, and were able to mark the forms of the wooden Gargoyles moving about in their dwellings.

    282

    Ma won't even talk about it but I read some old newspapers.

    283

    Many years after that, some funny little verses about Mr. Finney's turnip were printed in a newspaper.

    284

    Martha was anxious to hear about the outcome of the Georgia abduction as I'd not phoned her with the results.

    285

    Mary was right about one thing.

    286

    Mary, on the other hand, was vocal about her opinion of Cade, even to the point of stating that he would be the greatest catch of the century - no doubt, even an exaggeration in Mary's mind.

    287

    Maybe Felipa had a love she wasn't sure about.

    288

    Maybe he knew he was about to lose a good housekeeper.

    289

    Maybe it was the near-inaudible buzz or the rain on the roof, or my imagination, by I actually napped, for about twenty minutes.

    290

    Maybe one of them is like those mushrooms you hear about that book you on a psychedelic vacation.

    291

    Maybe she could do something about that and help Cade make some money at the same time.

    292

    Maybe that was what Felipa was talking about - that she fussed over him too much.

    293

    Maybe that was what she found so intriguing about him.

    294

    More than likely Alex didn't want to hear any more about danger, though.

    295

    Mother usually knows what she is about, but she made a mistake this time; for you are sure to escape us unless you come too near, and you probably won't do that.

    296

    Mother's about two thousand years old; but she carelessly lost track of her age a few centuries ago and skipped several hundreds.

    297

    Mr. Cooms was apprehensive about what he described as an assault on our safety.

    298

    Mrs. Hertz was always talking about a nephew.

    299

    My dreams, the few times I remember them, are always about things that happened recently; people I just interacted with.

    300

    Neither of the children seemed concerned about the flight, though.

    301

    New local acquaintances never questioned us about work and we displayed no interest in anything pertaining to crime or mayhem.

    302

    No more just dreaming about it.

    303

    No wonder Alex hadn't said anything about it.

    304

    No wonder Len knew so much about what was going on.

    305

    No, but there's nothing odd about a Tom cat wandering off for a few days.

    306

    No, he didn't know about the Indians until now - or did he?

    307

    No. I was thinking about driving up to my parents place today.

    308

    No. Think about it.

    309

    Nothing Cade did indicated that he gave a hoot about what anyone else thought.

    310

    Nothing. I was just thinking about technology.

    311

    Now was the time to clear the air, and there was one thing about all this that didn't make sense.

    312

    Of course I did not know what it was all about, but I enjoyed the pleasant odours that filled the house and the tidbits that were given to Martha Washington and me to keep us quiet.

    313

    Of the war Princess Mary thought as women do think about wars.

    314

    Oh, I was supposed to tell you about a party.

    315

    Oh, I wouldn't worry about that.

    316

    On the 1st of April it rained and melted the ice, and in the early part of the day, which was very foggy, I heard a stray goose groping about over the pond and cackling as if lost, or like the spirit of the fog.

    317

    One thing was obvious about Bordeaux.

    318

    Only Quinn seemed pleased with that result but when we tried to question him about it he refused to discuss the matter.

    319

    Or have you changed your mind about leaving tomorrow?

    320

    Or maybe he was thinking about their conversation last night.

    321

    Over the next few days she thought about the job several times with mixed feelings.

    322

    People are always willing to believe the worst about others.

    323

    Presently they came to a low plant which had broad, spreading leaves, in the center of which grew a single fruit about as large as a peach.

    324

    Quinn added, We didn't want to wake him, or be talking about him while he might overhear.

    325

    Quinn worked on increasing the precision of time and location but it remained about the same; anything longer than a couple of days was a problem.

    326

    Quinn, who was our resident computer and electronic guru, was given information about protecting our security.

    327

    Read about things that are beautiful and good.

    328

    Remembering what Felipa had said about the girls being out of a home if Alex refused the inheritance, she smiled.

    329

    Right now she didn't have time to think about that.

    330

    Right now she didn't want to think about Bordeaux or her father.

    331

    Sarah nodded, obviously still unsure about the situation.

    332

    See if you can find out anything about Pete and the guys.

    333

    Señor Medena had no romantic thoughts about her.

    334

    Señor Medena was watching her as if she were talking about something truly interesting.

    335

    Several minutes were consumed in silent admiration before they noticed two very singular and unusual facts about this valley.

    336

    She could find no negative remarks about the self-made man.

    337

    She didn't want to talk about herself anyway.

    338

    She felt deceitful pumping Mrs. Marsh for information about Brandon's plans, but it was the perfect opportunity.

    339

    She gave him insight into how Katie and her mother felt about the subject.

    340

    She glanced around the kitchen, knowing she should familiarize herself before breakfast, but feeling uncomfortable about exploring so soon after her arrival.

    341

    She had an interesting perspective, and she made him think about things differently.

    342

    She immediately told him about the incident with Jonathan and Alfonso and he simply nodded.

    343

    She knew little about Bordeaux except that she loved him.

    344

    She left him there to think about his actions - only he would probably stew on hers instead.

    345

    She left the post office feeling better about Russell Cade than she did about herself.

    346

    She lifted her head to ask him why Allen was asking questions about Yancey.

    347

    She plunged into the food on her plate, discovering that Brandon wasn't bragging about his mother's cooking.

    348

    She removed her gloves, wondering about the slow flush that was darkening his somber features.

    349

    She should probably listen to her gut feeling about this.

    350

    She shoved the photo back into the envelope and closed the lip, willing herself not to think about the previous pregnancy and its tragic end.

    351

    She sounded thrilled about the baby, on the phone.

    352

    She told him about everything but the kiss.

    353

    She wanted to talk to Bordeaux about it, but they were moving so fast that conversation was impossible.

    354

    She was going to say that the bitter note in her tone was for someone who had betrayed her, but the whole world didn't need to know about their shame.

    355

    She wasn't supposed to know about the building.

    356

    Should she ask him about putting them up?

    357

    So he thought it was all about Howard and a love interest.

    358

    So I got to thinking about adoption.

    359

    So the two went to the dressing-room of the Princess and searched carefully in every corner and among the vases and baskets and ornaments that stood about the pretty boudoir.

    360

    So, Bordeaux had told Darcie about the ranch.

    361

    Something about her feet hitting the floor in the morning seemed to trigger her stomach.

    362

    Something about his flippant answer made her think he would be a master at verbal fencing.

    363

    Something about it looked warm and cozy - like home.

    364

    Something about the way he was watching her felt uncomfortable.

    365

    Stop thinking about him.

    366

    Sure, and you haven't entertained a single romantic thought about him?

    367

    Talk about being put on the spot; my beloved set me up in spades.

    368

    Thankfully it had never been one of the times that she was thinking about him though.

    369

    That alone tells me all I need to know about you.

    370

    That night as they prepared for bed, she approached Alex about it.

    371

    That wasn't the point she was trying to make, but maybe a man would never understand what she was talking about.

    372

    That would do, but what about something to eat with it.

    373

    The assembled nobles all took off their uniforms and settled down again in their homes and clubs, and not without some groans gave orders to their stewards about the enrollment, feeling amazed themselves at what they had done.

    374

    The aunt spoke to each of them in the same words, about their health and her own, and the health of Her Majesty, "who, thank God, was better today."

    375

    The cab-horse was about to reply when suddenly he gave a start and a neigh of terror and stood trembling like a leaf.

    376

    The children, feeling sad and despondent, were about to follow him when the Wizard touched Dorothy softly on her shoulder.

    377

    The doctor would learn he or she was treating the so-called psychic tipster but nothing else about the person's identity.

    378

    The downside of setting up identities was that someone would learn more detail about us than we'd previously released.

    379

    The horse was plunging madly about, and two or three deep gashes appeared upon its flanks, from which the blood flowed freely.

    380

    The more I thought about it, the more I was convinced of the incredible scope of Howie's gift.

    381

    The more she learned about the way he thought, the more she was convinced that people around him were the strange ones, not Cade.

    382

    The only dreams I dreamed were about Martha.

    383

    The roast will be ready in about 15 minutes.

    384

    The scientist in Quinn yearned for answers and it was killing him that Howie was obdurate about limiting his gift.

    385

    The stage came to a halt in front of the station, and people drifted by, satisfying their curiosity about its occupants.

    386

    The two young women chatted endlessly about the latest fashion in Paris and the boys who were attracted to them.

    387

    Their food arrived about the same time as Pete and Bordeaux.

    388

    Then I remembered her talking to me about the paintings on his walls.

    389

    Then I started worrying about how I was going to take care of the baby and how much it would miss because I didn't have the money to...

    390

    Then, again, if he did want to talk to her about something, this was the perfect opportunity.

    391

    There are three small rooms upstairs but we'll explain about them later.

    392

    There he remained about ten minutes.

    393

    There is something about the way she looks at you when she needs your help – so vulnerable.

    394

    There isn't anything precious about this situation with Dulce.

    395

    There was a little girl of about six or seven playing with a doll on the floor.

    396

    There was nothing exotic about it; just a cluttered mess.

    397

    There was nothing sexual about his embrace this time.

    398

    There was something familiar about that face, yet she was certain she had never met him before.

    399

    There was something sacred about his trust in her.

    400

    There were more important things to think about at the moment - like how she was going to support a baby on her meager wages.

    401

    There's no reason to feel embarrassed about a normal body function.

    402

    There's nothing sensitive about Claudette, but if you want to move into that room upstairs with the balcony, go ahead.

    403

    There's nothing you can do about this and there's no point in burdening you with it.

    404

    These birds were of enormous size, and reminded Zeb of the rocs he had read about in the Arabian Nights.

    405

    They are too young to fly, and the mother bird is making a great fuss about it.

    406

    They didn't know about the science of surrogacy back then - but then, they didn't know about cesarean delivery either.

    407

    They had climbed about fifty feet.

    408

    They had to talk about everything.

    409

    They saw the mother robin flying about, and crying to her mate.

    410

    They wound about, always going upward, for some time.

    411

    They're beginning to take this business seriously, but what about this Rupert Youngblood character?

    412

    Think about it constantly and plan.

    413

    Thinking about Cade in that way could lead to no good.

    414

    Thinking that turn and turn about is fair play, she seized the scissors and cut off one of my curls, and would have cut them all off but for my mother's timely interference.

    415

    This book is about that future and what it is going to look like—how it will be a place glorious and spectacular beyond our wildest hopes.

    416

    This is the herd I've been developing for about five years.

    417

    Today you may stand up before the school and read what you have written about the turnip.

    418

    Was he also concerned about the Indians?

    419

    Was he being sarcastic, or was he still miffed about the losing the mules?

    420

    Was he going to say something about the fact that she wandered too far from the house?

    421

    Was that what Dulce was arguing with him about - that he didn't know what he wanted?

    422

    Was that what their conversation had been about today?

    423

    Was that what they had been arguing about?

    424

    We all knew about his family, but the way he acted, it was as if he wanted to hide them from us.

    425

    We asked about buildings; there were none, only corn in the four fields separated by the cross roads.

    426

    We can get that little place in Tulsa that we talked about.

    427

    We didn't let on to this guy, Jude Bryce, about the tip but he was a close neighbor and the parents suspected he might be involved so he was in our radar.

    428

    We just got back about an hour ago.

    429

    We know not much about them.

    430

    We never-the-less decided to postpone discussion until the following day when, as Martha said, we had a night of rumination and our wits about us.

    431

    We talked about celibacy and all the stuff he'd miss.

    432

    We were an hour into our drive south before I broached the subject, asking her about the tete-a-tete.

    433

    We won't hassle you if that's what you're worried about.

    434

    We... actually, I... was thinking about adopting a few wild horses from out west where they have too many.

    435

    We'd built up a library of recorded sessions but became concerned about properly securing them.

    436

    We'll know more about her recovery tomorrow.

    437

    Well, he's about to outgrow the cradle.

    438

    Well, if I was in your shoes, I'd see my doctor about some form of birth control.

    439

    Well; sometimes girls are more sensitive about things.

    440

    What about giving one person a fool proof demonstration?

    441

    What about her feelings for him – perhaps gratitude?

    442

    What about sessions totally conducted by phone?

    443

    What about that intern who's been calling you so much lately?

    444

    What about the plants you're growing?

    445

    What about this boy Allen who called yesterday?

    446

    What about those we were accusing?

    447

    What could he do about it but lose more sleep?

    448

    What did she know about him, after all?

    449

    What did she know about him?

    450

    What did you lie about?

    451

    What did you want to talk about?

    452

    What do you think about our little experiment?

    453

    What have you two been arguing about, and why did you kiss your brother like that?

    454

    What I pen about him will be pure speculation.

    455

    What kind of comment was that to make about her brother?

    456

    What made you so bitter about men?

    457

    What was Dulce upset about tonight when she was talking to you?

    458

    What was it about him that attracted her so?

    459

    What was it about him that she found so attractive?

    460

    What was that all about?

    461

    What were you thinking about that made you cry – last night?

    462

    What would he have to talk to her about?

    463

    What would you know about it?

    464

    What's different about our test?

    465

    What's he so upset about?

    466

    What's petrifying about that?

    467

    Whatever the case, it certainly wasn't worth arguing about.

    468

    Whatever the reason, it felt good to have options he didn't know about.

    469

    When Mary answered, Cynthia stammered around about the weather and every other subject she could think of.

    470

    When the king's soldiers heard about this powder, they made up their minds to go out and get it for themselves.

    471

    While we kidded about selling Howie out for a million buck reward, the increased outside interest in our activities was a serious matter.

    472

    While we presumed Daniel Brennan and Merrill Cooms had gleaned much about our group from our many conversations, we continued to volunteer nothing concrete.

    473

    Who cares about Howard?

    474

    Whose goals are we talking about here, mine or yours?

    475

    Why couldn't she feel the same excitement about him?

    476

    Why didn't he do something about this cold house?

    477

    Why don't you call Brennan when we get to the office and see what he thinks about the mystical Mr. Youngblood?

    478

    Why were the police tight lipped about him?

    479

    With everything going on, Carmen didn't have time to worry about flying, but when they were all sitting at the airport, she finally had time to stew over it.

    480

    Yet there was something about the way he moved, so full of grace and power.

    481

    Yet, there was something about him that attracted her like a June bug to a light bulb.

    482

    Yet, what about the uneasy feeling she had today?

    483

    You are talking about the guy everyone in town calls the hermit - Russell Cade.

    484

    You don't happen to know anything about a murder in Delaware, do you?

    485

    You don't know anything about us.

    486

    You have nothing to worry about.

    487

    You know how I feel about that sort of thing.

    488

    You know that man I was telling you about - the one who comes in at exactly eight every Friday night?

    489

    You know you love each other, but you aren't about to admit it.

    490

    You know, Cade, there are others who feel the same way you do about the old ways.

    491

    You must ask him about every small thing?

    492

    You must feel awful about it.

    493

    You plotted against me, you lied to Prince Andrew about my relations with that Frenchwoman and made me quarrel with him, but you see I need neither her nor you!

    494

    You see, there is nothing up my sleeve and nothing concealed about my person.

    495

    You take time to think about a date, but I want to take you out tomorrow to look at engagement rings.

    496

    You were the one who thought about it long enough to calculate it out.

    497

    You'd think so and I guess he's curious about his past, but he's not as obsessed.

    498

    You're not going to lecture me about it?

    499

    You've gained some valuable experience about how things can get out of control so quickly.

    500

    Your Aunt was always talking about you, but she never mentioned a sister.
