From in A Sentence

    1

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

    2

    A Cleveland mother had reported an infant child was taken from his crib while napping yet when Howie was able to enter the location before and during the alleged time, there was no sign of the child.

    3

    A few impressions stand out vividly from the first years of my life; but "the shadows of the prison-house are on the rest."

    4

    A honk from behind drew their attention.

    5

    A little memory work might be required, but anyone could count from nineteen to twenty.

    6

    A news camera showed the home from across the street.

    7

    A solid fence prevented her from seeing the vehicle.

    8

    A sweet voice called from another room.

    9

    A young girl was taken from her bed as she slept.

    10

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

    11

    After a while Giddon and the driver emerged from the building.

    12

    After lunch, Giddon's offer to help Lisa with the dishes was met by a raised eyebrow from Sarah.

    13

    After that other people brought water from a brook and sprinkled the earth.

    14

    After they finished eating, Giddon rose from his chair.

    15

    Afterward he took a book from the shelf and retired to his room.

    16

    Alex said from the doorway.

    17

    All I know is that he's temperamental, and you'd better stay away from him.

    18

    Allow Brennan to operate with total independence and no pressure from you people.

    19

    An armadillo stared at them from a rocky ledge as they passed, and a doe and her fawn darted across the trail not more than a hundred yards ahead, disappearing into the brush.

    20

    An hour ago I saw chaos that resulted from lies, half-truths and secrets.

    21

    And maybe he wasn't trying to keep her from seeing the barn.

    22

    Anna Pavlovna's alarm was justified, for Pierre turned away from the aunt without waiting to hear her speech about Her Majesty's health.

    23

    Apparently the water had been shut off up here to keep it from freezing.

    24

    Are you wiping the sleep from your eyes?

    25

    As his grip on her relaxed, she stepped away from him, a flush creeping up her neck.

    26

    As if in answer to her question, he dug a tin from his shirt pocket and handed it to her.

    27

    As soon as Howie emerged from the basement we all hurried into the living room and stood around, expectantly.

    28

    As they stopped in the ranch yard, the twins bolted from the house.

    29

    As you said, you're just waking up from a nightmare.

    30

    At least it was still sealed and it was from Connie.

    31

    Betsy called in one tip from California on a business trip.

    32

    Betsy pulled a small tape recorder from her purse.

    33

    Betsy spent hours on the computer, searching for results from our second tip but nothing was reported.

    34

    Betsy stepped from the shower, all pink as a posy and wearing only a smile.

    35

    Betsy strolled in, wiping flour from her hands on a dish towel.

    36

    Betsy turned on a tape recorder as Howie reclined on the bed, turning away from us.

    37

    Betsy would be home from her road trip and together we'd take on Quinn.

    38

    Betsy, being from mid-America, found the ocean delightful.

    39

    Bordeaux nodded and removed his hat, wiping sweat from the band.

    40

    Bordeaux pushed to his feet and moved away from her, careful not to make any sudden movements that might be misinterpreted.

    41

    Bordeaux stepped from behind the rock and called to the Indians.

    42

    Bordeaux tugged her away from the entrance.

    43

    Both statements came from the heart.

    44

    Breakfast over, Bordeaux saddled his horse and pulled the field glasses from his saddlebag.

    45

    Brockville is just over the border from Maryland and Washington.

    46

    Bumpus jumped from his nap at the sound of the familiar word.

    47

    But I take direction from upstairs.

    48

    But no words came from her mouth as she lay there, mesmerized by his ardent expression.

    49

    But scarcely had Pierre uttered these words before he was attacked from three sides.

    50

    But when she asked Giddon to give Connie his phone number, he looked suspiciously from one of them to the other.

    51

    But why wouldn't he want her to see the barn, and why would he build it so far from the house?

    52

    But you've heard from them lots of times.

    53

    By the time I got it from the car, it was down to one bar.

    54

    Cade leaped from the couch as she entered.

    55

    Cade wandered across the room and stared out the patio doors, sipping from the coffee mug.

    56

    Cade was beside her, lifting the towel from the hook and a pan from the dish rack.

    57

    Cade was slowly emerging from his shell, but the cat was still as wild as ever.

    58

    California is a long way from West Virginia, Betsy.

    59

    Carefully lifting the envelope from the drawer, she opened it.

    60

    Carmen took the picture from her hand and studied it.

    61

    Carrying a chair from the kitchen, she stretched to dust the top shelf of one of the bookcases beside the fireplace.

    62

    Cassie clung to the seat to keep from falling out of the lurching buggy as Bordeaux took them out of town at a run.

    63

    Cassie could feel the color draining from her face.

    64

    Cassie had to smile when Bordeaux positioned himself in a spot less than ten feet from her and pretended to settle down for the night.

    65

    Cassie moved away from him and scowled at the country without seeing it.

    66

    Cassie rolled over and stood, dusting sand from her clothes.

    67

    Cassie shifted her attention from the women.

    68

    Cassie tore her gaze from Bordeaux and fixed her father with a level look.

    69

    Cassie, if I were the type of man to run away from responsibility, would I be here right now?

    70

    Celebratory cigars and wine came out and all other business suffered from total indifference.

    71

    Claudette brushed some lint from the bodice of her dress.

    72

    Claudette spoke sarcastically from the kitchen doorway.

    73

    Could Bordeaux resist temptation - and if not, would he expect forgiveness from her?

    74

    Could Howie really see scenes from the past?

    75

    Could she walk away from it - and Cade?

    76

    Cynthia fairly leaped away from Cade, her face flaming.

    77

    Cynthia removed the rag from her face and stared at her friend.

    78

    Deep uncontrollable sobs squeezed the breath from her lungs.

    79

    Diablo. He's Yancey's method of relieving stress and getting away from us women once in a while.

    80

    Dismissing himself from the group, he strode to his horse and helped her down.

    81

    Do you honestly think you can keep a secret that's a major part of your life from someone who's sharing a bed with you?

    82

    Do you think the woman and the girl were people from your past; relatives?

    83

    Electrostatic fields come from a voltage gradient and can exist when charge carriers are stationary.

    84

    Ethel Reagan, the writer, noted the tips were telephoned from various locations across the country and provided by both men and women.

    85

    Ethel was once again making a daily print appearance, concentrating on the subject of mystic tips, and soliciting comments from law enforcement agencies.

    86

    Even so, it was as if a something had been lifted from her chest, allowing the flow of oxygen and blood to a starving brain.

    87

    Far from the grouchy expression he had put on at the beginning of the ride, now his eyes flashed with humor, and his lips were twisted in a friendly smile.

    88

    Finally he pushed his plate aside and rose from the chair.

    89

    Finally he stepped back from the vehicle and wiped his hands with a rag.

    90

    Finally he took the cup of coffee from her hand and nodded.

    91

    Finally she dried her eyes and pushed away from the bed.

    92

    From her long neck to her slender ankles, Claudette was dainty and feminine.

    93

    From Howie's standpoint it was easy.

    94

    From my point; money was well spent.

    95

    From now on it would be crawl out of bed and cook, clean and then maybe rest a little.

    96

    From now on we discuss things openly, all right?

    97

    From now on, she would be sure she had her beach robe by the pool when she swam, just in case someone came by... especially Giddon.

    98

    From the corner of her eye, she saw Alex watching her.

    99

    From the corner of her eye, she saw Yancey look sharply at Len.

    100

    From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats.

    101

    From the door she turned and watched as he climbed into his car and drove away.

    102

    From the foyer, they entered a huge room with a wide staircase that curved gracefully from the balcony on the second floor.

    103

    From the garden it looked like an arbour.

    104

    From the looks on the glum faces before me, he had neither told them anything nor was there success in their search for the killer.

    105

    From the porch we could see the huddled figure of Howie Abbott sitting under a large red umbrella on the edge of the pier.

    106

    From the time they broke up, she knew it could come to this if he were left to his own devices.

    107

    From the window of his office, the path was clearly visible.

    108

    From time to time she smoothed the folds of her dress, and whenever the story produced an effect she glanced at Anna Pavlovna, at once adopted just the expression she saw on the maid of honor's face, and again relapsed into her radiant smile.

    109

    From what I hear, he's pretty... frugal; I guess would be the best word.

    110

    From what I read between the lines, the stepfather has no use for Howie, so Howie's presence isn't giving him any comfort.

    111

    Gentle hands lifted her from the ground, and she buried her face in Bordeaux's chest, sobbing.

    112

    Get to the lowest story, in a central location away from hallways and windows.

    113

    Giddon removed the suitcases from his car and joined them at the door.

    114

    Going that way will put us further away from Ashley, but it will give us two advantages.

    115

    Gradually winter released its grip and flowers erupted from the ground in celebration of spring.

    116

    Half an hour later, her eyes swollen and her chest sore from sobbing, she turned her face up to the warm water in the shower.

    117

    He also murdered a deputy sheriff who stopped him because the law knew his license plate from a tip.

    118

    He brushed a crumb from the seat and cleared his throat.

    119

    He brushed a strand of hair from her face and stroked her cheek.

    120

    He brushed the hair back from her face and stroked her cheek gently.

    121

    He carried it a short distance from the others and dropped it to the sand.

    122

    He closed his book and placed it on the end table and rose lithely from the chair.

    123

    He coaxed one melody after another from the old piano, and then finally he folded the lid down.

    124

    He doesn't even know where they come from.

    125

    He ducked under the water and came up, wiping the water from his eyes and pushing his hair back.

    126

    He frowned, rolling away from her and sitting up.

    127

    He got down from his horse and very gently took the little ones up in his big warm hands.

    128

    He got his satchel from the buggy and, opening it, took out two deadly looking revolvers that made the children shrink back in alarm just to look at.

    129

    He grasped her waist and lifted her bodily from the saddle.

    130

    He had only said that because he was trying to discourage her from prying into his business.

    131

    He jerked the saddlebags from the back of his horse and glowered at her.

    132

    He knows what settings control each but it's far from exact.

    133

    He leaped from his horse.

    134

    He let the child fall into the trunk, slammed it and quickly drove away just as the mother was emerging from the house.

    135

    He lifted a canteen from the saddle horn and took a drink.

    136

    He lifted his hat from a peg on the wall and shrugged into his coat.

    137

    He lifted his hat from the peg and clamped it on his head and then paused, one hand on the door while he studied her face.

    138

    He looked relieved and reached up, pulling a leaf from her hair.

    139

    He moved away from the tree.

    140

    He never looked up from his food.

    141

    He parked the truck in front of the courthouse and turned to her, dragging a paper from his pocket.

    142

    He paused and pulled a weed from between some rocks and fed it to the bay.

    143

    He peered sullenly from under the brim of his hat.

    144

    He pulled an envelope from his pocket.

    145

    He pulled his field glasses from the saddlebag and motioned to Cassie.

    146

    He pulled his hands from behind his back and held them out to her.

    147

    He pushed his chair away from the table and crossed to the family room doorway.

    148

    He reached for her arm and she jerked it away from his grasp.

    149

    He reached out and brushed her hair away from her face.

    150

    He reached out and plucked some stick-tights from her sleeve.

    151

    He rinsed his cup and turned from the sink.

    152

    He shut the door and walked away from the car.

    153

    He smiled, brushing a strand of hair from her cheek.

    154

    He stepped away from the team as she walked approached and she glared at him.

    155

    He still relied on a taxi to get him from his apartment to Peabody.

    156

    He stomped his boots and shook white flakes from his hat and coat before entering the house Cynthia poured them both a cup of coffee as he washed at the sink.

    157

    He stood and brushed the sand from his clothes and then helped her to her feet.

    158

    He swore the tip came from someone, unidentified, but close to the rapper.

    159

    He took a mug from the cupboard and poured himself a cup of coffee.

    160

    He took the blanket from her and spread it on the ground.

    161

    He touched her arm and she moved away from him.

    162

    He was obviously making a joke, but she would never have guessed it from the expression on his face.

    163

    He was often woken from the crime scene by honking horns or outside noises.

    164

    He was trying to take the whip from me.

    165

    He's a week from retirement and he seems to be something of a maverick.

    166

    Her attention was completely diverted from Yancey.

    167

    Her face was hot as she pushed away from him, avoiding his gaze.

    168

    Her gaze tried to outrun the headlights and then followed the broken line on the highway as it leaped from the dark and shot forward, disappearing under the truck.

    169

    Her plan was to approach the building from the back parking lot.

    170

    Her soft touch did more than erase the worry from his brow.

    171

    His absence sucked the energy from the room and she stared down at the dishwater.

    172

    His comment earned a look from Martha suggesting the subject had been discussed in the confines of their bedroom.

    173

    His face was a road map of emotion, traveling from puzzled, to comprehensive and then on to frustration.

    174

    His fingers caressed her palm warmly and then he brushed the hair away from her cheek.

    175

    His gaze shifted away from her.

    176

    His hand dropped from her arm and she opened the door.

    177

    His hands touched her waist and then he slipped his arms around her from behind and drew her back against his chest.

    178

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

    179

    His mother wasn't doing well and from what we could gather from his vague conversations, she wasn't expected to recover.

    180

    His tone was kind, even understanding, yet it tore a sob from deep in her lungs.

    181

    His warm lips left hers and started down her neck, forcing a moan from hers.

    182

    Hopefully it would offer some kind of shelter from the threatening storm.

    183

    How could I convince my reading public I heard it from the horse's mouth?

    184

    How do we stop him from tracking us down?

    185

    How I love the open country, away from city police and cameras at every intersection.

    186

    How she would have welcomed a loving hug or kiss from him.

    187

    Howie called in from California on a daily basis.

    188

    Howie is entitled his time away from here too.

    189

    Howie remained obsessed that he'd failed to nail the culprit and when he heard of this later case, he begged Quinn to take enough time away from his wife and new daughter for a single session.

    190

    Howie spotted Cummings picking up Jennie Lohr as she hitchhiked to town from her rural Kansas farm.

    191

    Howie yelled, jumping from his seat.

    192

    I almost plucked a little beauty from a nearby tent the other night as her parents partied with other campers several yards away.

    193

    I can see from my perch a window downstairs in back remains open to catch the lovely spring breeze.

    194

    I can't believe that it's healthy to push them from your mind altogether.

    195

    I changed the subject and opened one of the bottles of wine we'd brought from New York.

    196

    I could easily tell from his breathing patterns sleep was illusive.

    197

    I could tell from Brennan's voice he was agitated.

    198

    I did so from a Times Square pay phone.

    199

    I don't mean to pry, Howie, but can you tell me why she's estranged from her family and what are the complications she mentions?

    200

    I fixed the door so it locks from the inside.

    201

    I get a lot of phone calls from people snooping for more information but I tell them I print everything I know.

    202

    I glanced up from me desk.

    203

    I guess I'd like a little input from you guys, if you don't mind.

    204

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

    205

    I knew craved forgiveness from the others, but lacked the capability to attain it.

    206

    I knew from my in depth research, the number and location of all payphones bearing the area code and first two numbers dear Brenda provided me.

    207

    I promised to check in from time to time as we finished our conversation.

    208

    I realize now my venture was doomed to failure from the start as my target was far better protected than I sensed.

    209

    I recognized him from his silly Internet chatting.

    210

    I remember because the tip was different from most; so detailed.

    211

    I sat at a table after randomly pulling half dozen books from the shelf.

    212

    I slipped from my mother's lap and almost ran toward them.

    213

    I so love my home away from home.

    214

    I tell Julie the nightmares must be from my past; ghosts trying to get out.

    215

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

    216

    I took the receiver as Betsy dialed the number she'd copied from the television announcement.

    217

    I was desperate to get away from there!

    218

    I was out there yesterday when I came back from riding and noticed that the barn was almost as clean as this house.

    219

    I was ready to close the site from pure frustration when a notice of a recovered body caught my attention, big time.

    220

    I was tidying up some details when my computer singled an incoming message, from Merrill Cooms.

    221

    I was walking from the opposite direction so everything looked backwards at first glance.

    222

    I'll pluck their eyes from their head!

    223

    I'll record the facts from my personal point of view, and my observation.

    224

    I'll try to locate a sympathetic ear from down here.

    225

    I'm a scientist and if I don't know an answer, I seek counsel from sharper brains.

    226

    I'm not from around here.

    227

    I'm offering you full funding for your endeavor; secure operating quarters, any place of your choice, sizeable salaries for all of you involved and a gift of stock to each that will assure a lifetime income from dividends.

    228

    I'm on the road with West Virginia behind me, taking a brief rest from my hobby.

    229

    I've found old rock fences, and there's an old log cabin falling into ruins not too far from here.

    230

    I've got a black and blue mark on my ribs from his version of Saturday night fever.

    231

    If he intended her harm, he would hardly have fixed the door so it would lock from the inside.

    232

    If they found you out, the assault on you from every quarter would be unimaginable.

    233

    If you want to get away from here, I'd hire you.

    234

    In dry gourds, they were served a hot tea made from the ground leaves of something Bordeaux called the lip fern.

    235

    In just eighteen months from now, we will have duplicated that again and effectively doubled our computation power.

    236

    In one corner a piano perched silently, and the embers of a fire still cast a faint glow from a massive fireplace.

    237

    Inside the card was a letter from Connie.

    238

    Is the gulf far from here?

    239

    Is the ranch far from here?

    240

    Is this a tip from mommy the clairvoyant?

    241

    It came from Boston, a few hundred miles away; sort of like the tip you just made.

    242

    It might be innocent to him, but it was far from that for her.

    243

    It sounded like a good chance to get away from this house and the memories for a while.

    244

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

    245

    It was from Massachusetts.

    246

    It was nearly dark and she was a good fifty miles from home.

    247

    It was situated in such a way that it collected all the moisture from the hills and appeared to be planted in alfalfa.

    248

    It was some distance from the farm house and he thought he might not get to it before it left.

    249

    It was the woman from the saloon.

    250

    It was time to pack up and get out - as soon as the visit from his sister was over.

    251

    It was Yancey standing outside that shop, and with him were the man from the building and Allen.

    252

    It wasn't easy to walk away from him – especially now.

    253

    It's been a part of me since the dogs of law released from their barred kennel.

    254

    It's inevitable that two people living in the same house are going to be at odds sometimes, but from now on I'll never feel completely safe.

    255

    Jerking away from him, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

    256

    Judging from the sharp rocks, they must be in the lava field.

    257

    Jumping from the bed, she dressed quickly and went to the kitchen.

    258

    Just then, an elderly woman emerged from the back of the red brick structure.

    259

    Lady luck intervened when the director removed a twenty dollar bill from his wallet for a tip for the maid and Howie was able to record the bill number.

    260

    Later, as she was straining the water from the potatoes, Cade wandered in.

    261

    Lisa retrieved the book from her room and decided to go read out on the patio.

    262

    Lisa rolled her face away from the bright window.

    263

    Lisa stared up at him, the blood draining from her face.

    264

    Lisa started to rise from her chair, but Giddon was faster.

    265

    Lottie Lynn Summerfield was abducted from her home in the middle of night.

    266

    Martha and baby Claire were released from the hospital after two days and both continued to prosper.

    267

    Martha had no siblings and Quinn had no idea of what might have sprouted from his alien family tree.

    268

    Martha looked for approval and received it tacitly from all but her husband.

    269

    Martha yelled from below.

    270

    Martha, always the caring hostess, finally went upstairs and chased Quinn from his quarters, freeing up the now-dismantled lab room.

    271

    Martha's father suffered a heart attack when she was in nursing school and her mom followed, from a broken heart, seven weeks later.

    272

    Mary strode down the path toward them, a hand shielding the sun from her eyes.

    273

    Maybe if you took some pictures from the house and put them in your room.

    274

    Maybe that was what the dream was about – shifting from one family to the next.

    275

    Maybe Yancey would be more careful in the future about using the threat of bears as a method of keeping Lisa away from that building.

    276

    More likely it stemmed from the fact that she had not gone to the house yet.

    277

    Mostly, I want to stop kids from what happened to the sister I don't know.

    278

    My husband has taken time away from school he shouldn't have and is pressuring me to do the same at the hospital.

    279

    My little passenger screamed from the back trunk at the sound of the gun shots but he was already dead.

    280

    My parents, now residing in Florida, would attend the ceremony along with my older brother and his family who would fly in from Seattle, Oregon.

    281

    My statement sounded enough like a question to earn me a frown from both.

    282

    My wife looked up from her lap top.

    283

    No details yet, Before I could answer, I was interrupted by a scream from my wife that sent chills down my spine.

    284

    No one was in the kitchen, but a note from Sarah explained that she and Tammy had gone to town shopping again.

    285

    No, a restraining order wouldn't stop him from finding me if he wanted to, and it might just make him mad enough to do something worse.

    286

    No, he was quick to say, it didn't come from any "psychic foolishness" which he didn't believe existed.

    287

    No, it needs to come from him.

    288

    No, you're just foolish enough to jump from the buggy.

    289

    Not far from the camp, they reached a rock outcropping.

    290

    Nothing was learned from the brief visit that contradicted what the man had said to me.

    291

    Now I have another dazzling thought, bred from my brilliant research.

    292

    Now tell me where the calls come from.

    293

    Number three was a father taking a son from the boy's mother who held custody rights.

    294

    On the other hand, if he wanted to harm her, he might snatch the stick from her and use it as a weapon against her.

    295

    On the other side of the rocks, water sprang from the ground and spilled off a ledge into a large blue pool.

    296

    Once again she had let her desires drive them from her mind.

    297

    Once the garage door was secured, she pulled away from the house.

    298

    Once you get away from him, stay away.

    299

    One beautiful day followed another and she gradually wandered farther from the house exploring the ranch - sometimes on horseback, sometimes on foot.

    300

    One person has the so called ability, with support from a few others.

    301

    Opening it, she removed a tissue and wiped the tears from her face.

    302

    Otherwise, it was difficult to sense true feelings, at least from Julie's standpoint.

    303

    Our location should be within a couple of hours at the most from a city; not in the country, per se, perhaps a small town.

    304

    Our spectacular triumph was the return of an infant from a small Texas hospital.

    305

    Out flight was early so we had time for dinner on the way from the airport.

    306

    Pouring water from one of the canteens into his hat, he watered the horse.

    307

    Public knowledge noted the arrest resulted from yet another unidentified tip.

    308

    Pushing the thought from her mind, she focused on Allen's visit last night.

    309

    Quinn peeked over the edge of his magazine as Martha brought a pen and pad from the kitchen.

    310

    Reaching inside the door, he flipped the light switch and the room was flooded with light from a ceiling fan.

    311

    Refreshed from the inside out, she dressed and combed her hair with her fingers.

    312

    Remember, we don't have a reason to suspect this guy's alibi; at least not any reason from the planet earth.

    313

    Removing the laundry from her room, she walked down the hall and hesitated at Cade's bedroom door.

    314

    Russie has been keeping secrets from you.

    315

    Sarah met them at the door, her puzzled gaze going from Giddon to Lisa.

    316

    Sarah's expression went from surprise to joy in the blink of an eye.

    317

    Scraps from the table coaxed him out even during the daylight hours - but only when she stepped back into the house.

    318

    Sealing the letter, she took a stamp from her purse and placed it on the envelope.

    319

    She backed away from him, wiping her mouth as she threw him a poisonous look.

    320

    She backed away from him.

    321

    She brushed sand from her pants.

    322

    She chewed her lower lip and studied him from under lowered lashes.

    323

    She could feel the blood drain from her face.

    324

    She couldn't have been farther from the truth.

    325

    She delicately plucked the kitten from his hand and cuddled it against her cheek.

    326

    She does have a problem with my keeping secrets from Julie.

    327

    She dragged the two suitcases from under her bed and began filling them with clothes from the closet.

    328

    She felt an unwelcome rush of excitement and reached to push his hand from her hair.

    329

    She felt dizzy from breathing off the top of her lungs.

    330

    She felt somehow drawn to the picture of a frail looking girl with dark eyes that looked out hauntingly from a delicately beautiful face.

    331

    She filled the canteens and started back to camp, pausing when Bordeaux emerged from the bushes below.

    332

    She flattened against the rock wall as she heard the horse scramble down into the ravine a little way down from her.

    333

    She forced the subject from her mind.

    334

    She gently worked her nightgown out from under him, hoping all the while that he wouldn't wake.

    335

    She glanced at the woman seated across from her and caught her breath.

    336

    She grabbed a tissue from the box on the counter and blew her nose.

    337

    She had a wild urge to throw her arms around his neck and kiss the worry from his face.

    338

    She inched away from him.

    339

    She indicated a cultivated area not far from where she was working.

    340

    She jerked her hand away from the sand and stared up at him, a lump forming in her throat.

    341

    She jerked her wrist from his hand and turned away, thankful at least for the warning.

    342

    She lay the flower and note aside and lifted a dress from the package, blushing as she realized his estimation of her size was accurate.

    343

    She leaped from the couch and darted into the kitchen.

    344

    She lifted her head and wiped the tears from her eyes.

    345

    She lifted the cat to her lap and turned so the light from the doorway would fall on the foot.

    346

    She moved away from him and contemplated the creek absently.

    347

    She moved away from him and stared down at his relaxed features.

    348

    She moved away from the counter.

    349

    She only brought one book from home.

    350

    She pulled the pins from her hair and scrubbed it and then wiped the rivulets of water from her face.

    351

    She pulled the roast from the oven.

    352

    She pushed away from the ground stiffly and rubbed at the sore muscles in her back while she surveyed the house.

    353

    She pushed the thought from her mind and turned to him.

    354

    She removed the book from the shelf and opened it to the dedication page.

    355

    She retrieved them from her purse and handed them to him.

    356

    She ripped the flower from her hair and slung it in the dust.

    357

    She rolled over and wiped the tears from her cheeks.

    358

    She rose from her chair and pushed it under the table.

    359

    She said, stepping away from him.

    360

    She sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

    361

    She shifted her attention to the fire and rubbed the beginnings of a crick from her neck.

    362

    She slipped into her shoes, still smarting from his reproach.

    363

    She snatched the envelope from his hand.

    364

    She snatched the whip from the ground and glared at Bordeaux.

    365

    She snuggled close, letting his body draw warmth from hers.

    366

    She spotted him waving to her from the boardwalk outside the saloon.

    367

    She squirmed to get out from under him, but the movement was misinterpreted.

    368

    She started the coffee and picked up an empty pop bottle from the counter to discard in the trash.

    369

    She started to call out to him, but a pretty young Indian girl emerged from those same bushes.

    370

    She started to rise from her chair.

    371

    She started to slide from the horse.

    372

    She stepped away from him, but he grabbed one arm, turning her around to face him.

    373

    She stirred the pot of stew and stepped away from the fire.

    374

    She took the tin from his hand and opened its hinged lid.

    375

    She tore her gaze from the group.

    376

    She tossed her head to throw the curls from her face and rolled over in bed.

    377

    She tried to keep up with him, but her legs ached from the unfamiliar exercise.

    378

    She tried to push away from him but his embrace was too strong.

    379

    She tugged the curl from his hand and turned to the old piano as a diversion tactic.

    380

    She turned away from him, pulling the shirt away from her chest.

    381

    She turned away from the beauty of the ranch, reminding herself that she had made the decision to leave.

    382

    She turned away from the temptation and went to her room.

    383

    She turned her back on Bordeaux and pulled her shirt from her pants, unbuttoning it so that the water could reach the sweat stained area under her breasts.

    384

    She turned to me, her face only inches from mine.

    385

    She twisted away from him.

    386

    She untangled her fingers from the sheet and punched her pillow.

    387

    She waited for him to get a little way down the path before she slipped from her hiding place and went to the door.

    388

    She was searching through her house for some unidentified object when a shadow emerged from the dark.

    389

    She watched from the family room window as he wolfed the food - a habit that had prompted Cade to dub him Scruffy.

    390

    She woke to bright sunlight shining through her window and jumped from the bed, tugging on a pair of shorts and a blouse.

    391

    Should she walk away from this job?

    392

    Silently, Giddon emerged from the path, carrying a saddle and halter.

    393

    Sure, but we don't need that from the technology.

    394

    Taking a zip-lock bag of scraps from the refrigerator, she opened the door and stepped out into the cool dawn.

    395

    Tears spilled down her cheeks as she slipped away from the couch.

    396

    Tell me what makes their calls different from other tips.

    397

    That and the time when I was trying to get the salt shaker from behind the stove.

    398

    That night they slept under the stars - Bordeaux a respectable distance from her, but close enough to assist if anything went wrong in the night.

    399

    That ridge was the only thing that had kept her from plunging over the edge... that and the man who was now glaring at her.

    400

    That was as close to praise as she was likely to get from him and she smiled her appreciation.

    401

    The artificial breeze from the fan provided only temporary relief.

    402

    The blood drained from her head, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.

    403

    The boy was jubilant to be with a dad he loved and away from an overly strict mom.

    404

    The braids had to be untangled in order to shampoo the mud from her hair.

    405

    The break-in was only hours old and we knew the exact location from Howie's first visit.

    406

    The buggy bounced over a rock and she clutched his arm to keep from falling off.

    407

    The bureau responded, from the top, that all tips were welcomed and followed up, regardless of source.

    408

    The Christmas tree could only be seen from the back of the house, but that didn't matter.

    409

    The day before they were scheduled to leave, Alex came home from work and asked to see the tickets.

    410

    The door opened quietly and Yancey entered, his face bland as he retrieved the magazine from his chair.

    411

    The extra color was beginning to fade from his face and he turned toward the family room.

    412

    The first call was from a pay phone in Lynn, Massachusetts.

    413

    The job would be harder to walk away from than Cade - wouldn't it?

    414

    The light was coming from under a closed door at the end of a hallway.

    415

    The man glanced up and she put a hand to her throat, feeling the blood drain from her face.

    416

    The man jogged from the house carrying the young girl.

    417

    The man lifted his hands gently from the trunk, and the rear wheels of the car lifted a few inches from the ground.

    418

    The man was run down by a detective from After.

    419

    The next moment a broad-leaved plant was jerked from the ground where it grew and held suspended in the air before the Wizard.

    420

    The only bait he could find was a bright red blossom from a flower; but he knew fishes are easy to fool if anything bright attracts their attention, so he decided to try the blossom.

    421

    The school was more than a mile from their home, and the children trotted along as fast as their short legs could carry them.

    422

    The smile melted from her lips and her body chilled.

    423

    The sparkle faded from his eyes, leaving them soft sweet chocolate pools.

    424

    The story related the successful return of a young boy kidnapped from his San Francisco home.

    425

    The thoughts of where we would go from here weighed heavily on everyone's mind.

    426

    The tips are states away from what's being tipped.

    427

    The wages weren't all that great, but deducting rent, utilities and groceries from her present salary, it wound up being a good deal more.

    428

    The warmth from his body enveloped her mind in a thin casing of security.

    429

    Then he brushed the sand from her pants, finishing up with a light slap on her backside.

    430

    Then he took from his pocket a sheet of paper on which some verses were written.

    431

    Then why did he live so far away from everything?

    432

    There again, it's hard to say whether they die from natural causes or attacks by predators.

    433

    There he scooped a bed in the sandy floor, away from the moist walls.

    434

    There he swung up behind her and they rode away from the area at a fast trot.

    435

    There was little sound from the kitchen as well.

    436

    There was murmured sound downstairs and Betsy asked from outside the door if there was a problem.

    437

    There were lots of businesses and folks came out of the hollows from miles around to shop.

    438

    There's no question he'll walk away from what he's doing if it becomes public.

    439

    There's no way he'd consent to travel all the way from Boston.

    440

    They converged then, and moved quietly across the sand, hoping the Indians didn't burst from the night to attack them.

    441

    They each went to their assigned wagon and lit a match, tossing it inside the wagon and moving away from the circle almost in unison.

    442

    They had to get away from here - back to the house where there were other people.

    443

    They knelt and drank from the cool spring.

    444

    They used to hang in long festoons from our porch, filling the whole air with their fragrance, untainted by any earthy smell; and in the early morning, washed in the dew, they felt so soft, so pure, I could not help wondering if they did not resemble the asphodels of God's garden.

    445

    They were nearly invisible from the main store.

    446

    They were served a kind of pancake that Bordeaux said was made from ground Mesquite beans.

    447

    Things are coming to me like waking from a nightmare.

    448

    This is the only way, we say; but there are as many ways as there can be drawn radii from one centre.

    449

    To answer your question, no, I didn't go there; it's the final present from a gone-forever boyfriend.

    450

    To ask Brennan directly might lead to us so I made up a story we were checking old cases to see if someone released from prison might have returned to this type of crime.

    451

    To keep her from wandering in the woods?

    452

    Two weeks passed and I'd put Howie Abbott from my mind when Betsy called one evening as I heated a frozen dinner in my lonely apartment.

    453

    Unhitch those tugs, Zeb, and set me free from the buggy, so I can fight comfortably.

    454

    Unsure whether to move away from him or verbally fend him off, she did neither.

    455

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

    456

    Was it so different from the way her father had felt?

    457

    Water was dripping from the trees, and the grass was wet.

    458

    We all want to do more, but we can't afford the time away from life to do as much as we want.

    459

    We can't call from here!

    460

    We had two runaways in a row followed by a location Howie couldn't find and a wake-up interruption from outside noise.

    461

    We have a hospital report from inner city Cleveland.

    462

    We splurged for a motel room in Peabody, a few miles from the LeBlanc's home.

    463

    We tackle our work; professionally and without rancor to one another in spite of a pall of indecision that oft times seeps in like a chill from a leaky window frame.

    464

    We thought we had him this time but he has receipts and papers from Chicago where he claims he attended a weekend art shindig.

    465

    We tried to help with the South Carolina abduction of a girl taken from her bedroom.

    466

    We were lucky to get away from those dreadful vegetable people.

    467

    We'll have to walk from here.

    468

    We're close enough, and our camp sight will give us a little protection from the coming storm.

    469

    What are you going to hide from me that I haven't already seen?

    470

    What do you need from me?

    471

    What do you want from me?

    472

    What exactly do you want from us?

    473

    What is Howie telling her, not just out loud, but with his voice from dreamland?

    474

    What will it be a month from now?

    475

    What would inspire someone to chisel their name into a rock so far from civilization?

    476

    When had he changed from the unattractive older man she met in the diner to the good looking young man who now lay beside her?

    477

    When the back door closed, she emerged from her room.

    478

    Where did you come from?

    479

    While we refrained from tracking our results, when we learned through public media of a success, we celebrated.

    480

    Who could blame Valorie for shrinking from Yancey's temper?

    481

    Who would wake from that sleeping body?

    482

    Why are you trying to get away from me, Litha?

    483

    Why did you hide it from me?

    484

    Why didn't you tell me everything from the beginning?

    485

    Why would they admit the tips come from the nether world?

    486

    Wiping tears from her eyes with her hand, she failed to suppress a sob.

    487

    With every second, they were getting farther from the safety of civilization.

    488

    Without another word, he stalked from the room.

    489

    Without taking his eyes from it, he finally spoke.

    490

    Yancey called from inside the house.

    491

    Yancey lifted Lisa from the counter and helped her into a chair.

    492

    Yancey looked down at her as he helped her from the ATV.

    493

    Yancey was in the kitchen, getting a cold drink from the refrigerator.

    494

    Yeah, but from now on I'm leaving the shopping to someone else.

    495

    You can run away from him, stay in the same relationship, or set your foot down and get things back into control.

    496

    You don't need training - especially not from the people who come up with this fashionable cluttered look.

    497

    You must want more from us; at least knowledge of whom we are and what exactly we do and how we do it.

    498

    You stopped Otto's next victim from being abducted.

    499

    You'll get tips from us and follow up on them the same as any tips.

    500

    You'll stop fighting when the breath is gone from your body!
