Off in A Sentence

    1

    A few of the gents nodded off but the pastor would quickly bring them back we a raised voice and a fist pound, prompting a hearty Amen.

    2

    A massive explosion went off, shaking the ground beneath them.

    3

    Abruptly, he dropped her hand and turned away, marching off to his car.

    4

    Absent Martha's soothing voice, Howie wasn't able to drift off until our third try.

    5

    Actually, I just got off my shift and thought I'd check in on her.

    6

    Adrenaline spun through him, and he staggered up, ready to fight it off.

    7

    After eleven pairs of shoes, two stray dogs who gave up on me, and a girl friend who skipped off with a coal truck driver in West Virginia, here I am.

    8

    After receiving their thanks, he took off at a jog, anxious, he said, to catch a few more post-storm shots as the sun emerged.

    9

    After the birth we were set to take yet another day off as both Quinn and Martha were unavailable.

    10

    After they dragged Jen off to confession, the Calvias would stick around and rent the church for the wedding—if Randy was still alive.

    11

    Again she wondered if she had bit off more than she could chew.

    12

    Alarms sounded a few moments before the doors exploded off their hinges.

    13

    All costume off a man is pitiful or grotesque.

    14

    All I could think of was Randy and how lucky we are that he's got his act together in spite of this business with Jen—how much better off he is than Billy— and Jen than Melissa.

    15

    All right, I get off at nine.

    16

    Allen let go of her and jumped off.

    17

    And because some little snot-nose has a vivid imagination, or thinks it's fun to tell whoppers, I'm supposed to go traipsing off in some god-forsaken mine on the taxpayer's expense on a treasure hunt?

    18

    And this woman wanted him to kiss it off, to stay in a classroom?

    19

    And yet, now the twins could return to their beloved ranch – the one she had finished paying off.

    20

    And you want me to ride off into the sunset?

    21

    Apparently scrounging food off the desert wasn't nearly as easy as harnessing a team of mules.

    22

    Apparently the shine is off Mr. Faust's halo.

    23

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

    24

    As dawn broke, they reached the turn off to the safe house.

    25

    As he spoke, he peeled off his shirt to reveal a whip-like, muscular upper body coated by a thin layer of tan skin.

    26

    As he turned off, Dean checked the highway in both directions, but there were no other vehicles in sight.

    27

    As my mate, you have the ability to draw off my power.

    28

    As she stepped off the walk to cross an alley, a lean figure stepped out of the saloon.

    29

    As soon as breakfast was over we hurried off to the shore.

    30

    Behind him, to the far right, I could see the front door was off its hinges, wrested to a strange angle.

    31

    Below, he could see a displaced boulder and disturbed earth before the slope dropped off at an impossible angle into utter blackness.

    32

    Betsy nodded, gave me a kiss, and trotted off to follow our hosts.

    33

    Bordeaux had been leading the horse along the ravine to spare its hooves, but it had been a risk that hadn't paid off.

    34

    Bordeaux picked his hat off the ground and dusted himself off.

    35

    Bordeaux pulled the saddle off and rubbed him down with the blanket.

    36

    Bordeaux pulled the team off the road, following a trail off through the pasture.

    37

    Both are better off than they were, even though nothing new has been created.

    38

    Both felt we should keep our hands off the matter.

    39

    Brandon Westlake, the only other guest of long standing, was off on an early morning photo shoot but an unexpected prodigal returned to Bird Song just as the second batch of cinnamon rolls rolled out of the oven.

    40

    Brenda was given a few days off and the dust settled.

    41

    But I will promise you that I'll never run off and leave you stranded.

    42

    But if you'd rather take them off, go ahead.

    43

    By the time Dean finished listing the information, Fred was gone and Cynthia was off to read in their quarters.

    44

    By the time the Deans returned, most of Bird Song's guests had scattered off to the continuing Fourth of July happenings.

    45

    By the way, it was Ginger who shot the gun—just to scare us off.

    46

    C'mon. Let's at least get you dried off.

    47

    Can you just drop me off near the mall?

    48

    Can't he get these people off your back; and off ours?

    49

    Carmen let go of the blanket she had been clutching to her chest and turned to shut her light off.

    50

    Children are off limits.

    51

    Cynics view this as the rich paying off the poor to keep them from revolting.

    52

    Cynthia apologized for asking so many questions, but Westlake waved her off.

    53

    Cynthia was scraping sugar off her knees when he told her about the phone call.

    54

    Cynthia wiped a tear off her cheek and when she spoke, her voice didn't sound like her own.

    55

    Damian pulled off his sweater to reveal a black T-shirt and tucked weapons into his cargo pants, boots, and pockets.

    56

    Damian sat down on the arm of a leather couch, accustomed to the reaction, and pulled off his boot to drain the water.

    57

    Damian's heavy ring hung off a chain around her neck, and she clenched it.

    58

    Damian's men were not the type she wanted to piss off.

    59

    Darian, who he'd just pulled off the bottom of the ocean instead of attending his planning session to deal with the Talon issue.

    60

    Darkyn gave her the power to seduce without the knowledge on how to turn off its effects, if it was even possible.

    61

    Dean pulled down the top on his Jeep and slowly drove uptown, giving off what he hoped were candidate smiles and waves to the locals, all of whom seemed to be walking the sun drenched street.

    62

    Dean started to reply, but she cut him off.

    63

    Dean swung by the Beaumont Hotel and dropped off Jennifer Radisson's camera, not unhappy to be rid of the reminder of the prior evening.

    64

    Deidre rolled off the bed, darting for the hallway.

    65

    Deidre turned off the shower, some semblance of a plan comforting her.

    66

    Destiny wandered off to her room to play.

    67

    Did he run the kid off the road?

    68

    Did you agree to get him off the hook for Billy's death?

    69

    Did you get her car off the cliff, dear?

    70

    Do you have some reason you want to put it off for a while?

    71

    Don't be wandering off alone.

    72

    Drop off Jenn and come back.

    73

    Dropping off this little package was accomplished with no regret as she wouldn't cease screaming her head off keeping my nerves on edge the entire time we were together.

    74

    Dusty didn't remember dozing off but snapped awake.

    75

    Dusty rose in response, peeling off his shirt.

    76

    Dusty stalked off and slammed the bedroom door.

    77

    Dusty stripped off the clunky modern weaponry, keeping his sword and knives.

    78

    Dusty strode into the gym and peeled off his shirt.

    79

    Each carrying two canteens, a rifle and a lantern, they started off into the long shadows of the sand dunes.

    80

    Either he got smart fast or someone tipped him off.

    81

    Either they were all huge enough to come straight out of an action movie, or her drugs had not yet worn off.

    82

    Even the trash-can liner newspaper that caused us to be hunted down by reward-sniffing hounds has backed off, terminating their contest.

    83

    Even with him taking the edge off, reality still wasn't real.

    84

    Eventually her attempts to tame him paid off, and he allowed her to touch him - provided she was careful not to move too quickly.

    85

    Every time the subject of your father came up, you got defensive and I backed off because I was afraid of losing you.

    86

    Except… He trailed off, giving her a considering look.

    87

    Felipa left Carmen at the foot of the stairs, striding off without another word.

    88

    Figured it'd keep my mind off things, Rourk replied.

    89

    First off, go for a swim!

    90

    First off, I don't have the words to tell you how grateful I am for what you and your guys did for us.

    91

    First off, I'd love to have Martha around to see this mess.

    92

    First off, I'm going to find out who owns that mine.

    93

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

    94

    Five minutes after you left, he called off the attacks.

    95

    For everything... for how I handled the police-guy, for making Julie stay just a little bit longer, for chasing off Martha and Quinn...

    96

    For in that country, people never wear shoes in the house, but take them off at the door.

    97

    For the most part, though, her conversation was interesting and helped keep Lisa's mind off her own problems.

    98

    Fortunately, the boy ran off but the police, who were following Bryce based on our earlier tip, photographed his attempted abduction.

    99

    Frankly, if you can convince him, it will take a lot of heat off me.

    100

    Fred O'Connor was off to the post office, but before leaving, he ceremoniously presented Martha with thirty dollars and a smothering hug.

    101

    Fred, a casual helper, was off to the courthouse, but even without him they finished early.

    102

    Furious, Sofia pushed off the bed coverings and stood, teetering dangerously before deciding to sit again.

    103

    Good thing Bianca sent him off this morning with a bag full.

    104

    Great, so I can piss off both my brothers.

    105

    Had he been stalking her the day she fell off the bluff?

    106

    He beat the dirt off his clothes with his hat and then unsaddled the horse.

    107

    He checked his weapons and pulled off his jacket, clipping as many magazines to his belt as he could.

    108

    He climbed into bed next to his wife but didn't turn off the light.

    109

    He couldn't remember ever feeling so … off.

    110

    He didn't tear my head off when he sought me out the first time.

    111

    He even waved off the excuse of no bathing suits, telling them rentals were available.

    112

    He explained he was off to the Langstroms' for supper.

    113

    He gave Allen a last threatening look and stalked off to the house.

    114

    He gazed off across the hills.

    115

    He got them to back off, at least for now.

    116

    He handed Dusty the knife and pulled off the high-collared vest to expose his throat.

    117

    He leaned forward as he helped her dismount at the barn, rain rolling off the brim of his hat in a stream.

    118

    He left us kids to fend for ourselves and now he thinks he can come back and pick up where he left off.

    119

    He needed something to take that edge off.

    120

    He nodded and she waited, but he never took his eyes off the coffee cup, and remained silent.

    121

    He nodded, his gaze drifting off in contemplation.

    122

    He peddled off like Lance Armstrong.

    123

    He peeled off a glove to display a hand as scarred as his face.

    124

    He peeled off his ruined sweater and tossed it in the trash.

    125

    He planted vodka in his Jeep and then ran him off the road!

    126

    He pulled off the headphone-mic combo and rose.

    127

    He raised the topic as much to take Cynthia's mind off Martha's departure as from any serious concern about the old man.

    128

    He rattled off his number and then gave Connie a stern look.

    129

    He rattled off more rules, and she listened without registering any of them.

    130

    He repeated his intentions to continue his education in the off season, skirting the fact he'd be kissing off the final year of his scholarship.

    131

    He smiled faintly and nodded, striking off down the hall towards his private wing of the underground facility.

    132

    He stabbed a fork into the roast and cut a small slice off.

    133

    He stalked off, and Han glanced down from his bored stare at the ceiling.

    134

    He started the car and they drove off, leaving Connie standing there on the curb looking after them with a troubled expression.

    135

    He stepped away, towards the bed, peeling off his shirt as he went.

    136

    He stopped and gazed off at the distant hills.

    137

    He stopped the ATV again and they got off, both gazing in rapt silence.

    138

    He stopped the ATV and shut off the engine.

    139

    He strode off into the other room.

    140

    He took it harder than I thought he would, but being able to keep Tammy took the edge off it.

    141

    He tried to brush it off, but it remained there.

    142

    He turned and marched off to the house.

    143

    He turned and strutted to his official car parked in the roped off street.

    144

    He turned into a driveway and shut off the truck.

    145

    He twisted it and unleashed a kick that knocked his opponent off his feet and sent the sword flying.

    146

    He was charming the high heels off one of the women jurors.

    147

    He was off with a jog and a wave, leaving the Deans in front of Bird Song.

    148

    He was probably washing some of the dust off his insides last night and overdid it.

    149

    He wasn't trying to be rude; he was merely fending off an uncomfortable subject.

    150

    He waved a hand as if to brush her inquest off.

    151

    He's the expert on the subject of partying, that's for sure, but him and Melissa took off.

    152

    Helen began to pull off the jacket, saying, "I must give it to a poor little strange girl."

    153

    Her directions hadn't been far off.

    154

    Her first thought was that it was a puppy someone had dropped off.

    155

    Her gaze drifted off in contemplation, finally returning to Carmen.

    156

    Her head felt like it could float off her body.

    157

    Her own words bounced off the wall and came back as a flash of memory and imagination.

    158

    Her voice trailed off as realized he was talking to Bordeaux.

    159

    Her voice trailed off at his grin.

    160

    Her voice trailed off when he glanced up sharply, obviously stung by her words.

    161

    Her voice trailed off.

    162

    His eye caught something off to the side, but it was quickly gone as the darkness returned.

    163

    His light was off, a sign he'd been sleeping too hard to notice someone come in.

    164

    His parents were out of town and instead of looking out for Annie; Howard was off drinking the entire night with some older buddies.

    165

    His question caught Fitzgerald totally off balance.

    166

    His skin was colder than snow, the power radiating off him like an arctic breeze.

    167

    Hopefully he wouldn't wander off and get lost.

    168

    How is it you haven't ripped my head off?

    169

    How would you like working with a slug who couldn't keep his hands off your boobs every time no one was looking and grabbed your ass whenever he damned well pleased?

    170

    I almost have the ranch paid off.

    171

    I asked, more to take his mind off mayhem than to elicit information.

    172

    I beg you to leave the town and break off all communication with such men as Klyucharev.

    173

    I can take classes in the off season.

    174

    I can't prove why you caused Billy Langstrom's death but I know you chased him off the road and I think I know why.

    175

    I caught one today, but he got away when his tail broke off.

    176

    I cleaned out our bank accounts and wrapped the withdrawal slips in the same pair of shorts and pinned it to his pillow with a steak knife and took off.

    177

    I closed my eyes and perhaps nodded off but when I opened them, Martha was standing there, without her robe, in only a sheer nightgown.

    178

    I could always tell if visitors had called in my absence, either by the bended twigs or grass, or the print of their shoes, and generally of what sex or age or quality they were by some slight trace left, as a flower dropped, or a bunch of grass plucked and thrown away, even as far off as the railroad, half a mile distant, or by the lingering odor of a cigar or pipe.

    179

    I could drop off the radar for a time.

    180

    I couldn't get him to back off and I got really scared.

    181

    I cut him off.

    182

    I did and I thought he was going to bite my head off.

    183

    I don't give a damn about a bunch of bones, but where do you get off saying The Lucky Pup Mine is yours?

    184

    I dropped my women off at the terminal entrance of Logan Airport, amid kisses and a promise to see them in twenty-four hours.

    185

    I dutifully trekked back through the ranks, lying that I'd been cut off.

    186

    I felt absolutely alone, cut off from my friends and the firm earth.

    187

    I find it is funded by corporations, do-gooders, trust funds, individuals, and off shore ghost entities... unfortunately, too many names to pursue each and every one.

    188

    I gave the fool very clear directions, not to here but a highway pull off fairly close by.

    189

    I get off on killing you idiots, she said in the same calm voice she used with Jonny.

    190

    I glanced out in time to see it moving with its headlights off.

    191

    I guess I was letting off my anger at everything.

    192

    I had a video of it but some jerk ripped it off my shopping wagon in Pittsburgh.

    193

    I have total faith that you'll beat the socks off the creep.

    194

    I hear you're doing pretty well in spite of getting your head knocked off at the debate.

    195

    I hope I'm off yours.

    196

    I kept after her to tell me and that pissed off Ronnie to all hell and he demanded Julie and me to get out.

    197

    I know this is far-fetched and I'm probably only fantasizing because I'm so pissed off at that son of a bitch Fitzgerald in general.

    198

    I know you leave the cap off the toothpaste and I even know when you...

    199

    I might meet some tall, dark, handsome man on the way, and you'd chase him off.

    200

    I never would have believed he would run off and leave us like that.

    201

    I passed off my English and advanced French before I entered college, and I choose the courses I like best.

    202

    I pulled two beads off and indicated to her that I wanted her to sew them on my doll.

    203

    I reckon that's something that needs to be done, and them children would be better off with a woman looking after them.

    204

    I ripped these off a high school kid.

    205

    I saw it in the paper yesterday and thought since I had Saturday off, I'd come out and look at it for you.

    206

    I squirmed and screamed and begged and wailed my head off and told them I hated them but nothing helped.

    207

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

    208

    I think the worst is you've been whipped by a woman, Damian ticked off.

    209

    I thought it was strange, since Jimmy's the last person who would veer off course from your orders because you let him blow up whatever he wants and he doesn't wanna lose that.

    210

    I thought you might like an evening off.

    211

    I thought you were going to live off the land.

    212

    I trudged through a boring day, knowing I'd return to an empty apartment as Betsy was off to Los Angeles for the entire week.

    213

    I turned off the light.

    214

    I turned off the recorder and left to drive to police headquarters.

    215

    I was basically told to keep off your back but no one mentioned I should run errands for you.

    216

    I was exploring and I fell off that bluff.

    217

    I went off to college and messed around some—did all the stuff you're supposed to do at that age—but when I came back home ten years later, Paul's wife had died.

    218

    I went to Hell and … she drifted off.

    219

    I'd probably blow my foot off.

    220

    I'll send it off to find out.

    221

    I'll take the plunge and go off grid, I can do that stuff.

    222

    I'll tell you if it's on or off the record.

    223

    I'm beginning to wonder if you're too polite to tell me to shove off.

    224

    I'm mighty glad to see her back on duty after only a half day off!

    225

    I'm off duty, you know.

    226

    I'm off of here.

    227

    I've got someone coming up here to seal the place off.

    228

    If anything could take her mind off the worry of surrogacy, he could.

    229

    If her look portrayed honesty, Dean's statement caught her completely off balance.

    230

    If I fought off a guardsman as a human, I can take on an Other with my powers back.

    231

    If it goes off for any reason, I'll be at your throat with a knife, truce be damned, Damian said in a low, firm voice.

    232

    If you ask me to keep it off the record, I will.

    233

    If you want to wait until I get off work, I'll try to leave a little early so we won't get back so late.

    234

    In addition, all her planning and tenacity were paying off.

    235

    In fact, your children, their children, and their children forever could live off that interest.

    236

    Inspired, perhaps, by Master Gobbler's success, we carried off to the woodpile a cake which the cook had just frosted, and ate every bit of it.

    237

    Instantly strong arms scooped her off the ladder and lowered her safely to the floor.

    238

    Instead of preparing to face off the vamp, she floated upwards.

    239

    It brings me into closer and tenderer relationship with those I love, and makes it possible for me to enjoy the sweet companionship of a great many persons from whom I should be entirely cut off if I could not talk.

    240

    It felt good to be off her feet, even if only momentarily and in such a manner.

    241

    It had been two years since their mother had died - three since their father had run off with that harlot.

    242

    It is time that we had uncommon schools, that we did not leave off our education when we begin to be men and women.

    243

    It just took the rest of us a while to shake off the bonds.

    244

    It occurred to her that he might push her off it.

    245

    It only seemed natural for them to sit next to each other, and what would feel more natural would probably scare her off.

    246

    It pissed him off so much he cut off all tests just when we were making real progress.

    247

    It pleased me doubly; to show off my fiancée and escape the rush of August in New York.

    248

    It really ticked Alex off.

    249

    It seemed that she had barely dropped off to sleep, before someone was pounding on her door.

    250

    It was a risk that didn't pay off.

    251

    It was almost as if he were shutting Felipa off before she could reveal something.

    252

    It was hard to imagine something that fed off depravity wanted peace.

    253

    It was in her mind to tell Claudette to take a long walk off a short pier, but a cool voice interrupted them at that moment.

    254

    It was raining very hard and he had a very large umbrella to keep off the rain-drops.

    255

    It would be dark by the time they got the car off the edge of the cliff.

    256

    It would have been easier to run off and leave them.

    257

    It's all sealed off anyway.

    258

    It's time I kick that Westlake fellow off my computer so's I can post my bargains for the world to see.

    259

    It's too busy at Bird Song and I've been—goofing off all morning.

    260

    Jake shot off a burst of rounds as several vamps raced across the courtyard, their red eyes glowing and growls loud.

    261

    Jennifer asked "Probably to frighten us off," Dean answered.

    262

    Jule had never said what he'd done to piss someone off and get exiled to earth, but it must have been bad if the Watcher's kind clipped his powers and sent him packing.

    263

    Jule sensed the intruder shortly after dozing off.

    264

    Jule smiled despite his unease, not about to be caught off guard by the creature.

    265

    Jule snapped off the end of the arrow in his shoulder, not about to bleed to death before he'd killed the immortal.

    266

    Jule understood the importance of her appearance, just as he knew all bets were off once she was revealed.

    267

    Jule was happy to piss off the little green-eyed troll.

    268

    Jule was knocked off his feet by a hard blow but got back up, beckoning to the other creature with a look of confidence out of place for his bloodied face.

    269

    Julie met me at the door before I turned off my car.

    270

    Let them all be pissed off at me; perhaps that would bring them closer together against a common enemy.

    271

    Let's hold off deciding until I speak with Brennan and see what he can do.

    272

    Lifting the hair off the back of her neck, he applied the cool towel.

    273

    Loaded with pastry, he was soon headed off to the park with his typical youthful enthusiasm.

    274

    Long term, we will be better off manufacturing our food as opposed to growing it.

    275

    Lydia turned her back to him, and as she walked to her bedroom, pulled her scanty top off over her head.

    276

    Lydia turned off the engine and they sat there alone with no other cars in sight.

    277

    Martha and Quinn made their own decision; you didn't chase them off.

    278

    Maybe because you dumped her and Darian off on me and disappeared?

    279

    Maybe he wasn't a saddle bum, but only a greenhorn would think he could live off the barren land that surrounded them.

    280

    Maybe just wiped off.

    281

    Maybe now Youngblood would stay out of the news and Howie would back off insisting we take action to stop him.

    282

    Maybe, but he strikes me as a more direct type—not someone who'd pull off a stunt like that.

    283

    Merrill Cooms new project, After, got off to a start the week we first met Julie.

    284

    More gunfire and another smaller explosion went off somewhere else in the house.

    285

    Most of the lodgers were about their daily activities, with Fred off to the post office, Maria doing her duties with her usual exuberance, and the Deans hovering close by.

    286

    Most queries were answered in monosyllables except the last, which Dean put off by explaining they'd discuss the bones at length in the morning.

    287

    Mr. Dean wished he felt a modicum of confidence in himself as the three drifted off to sleep—David and Cynthia Dean, with SB, the Bird Song owl, snuggled next to them.

    288

    Mr. Giddon heard him and kicked him off the place.

    289

    Much as he disliked making Fred wait, he decided to put off the task until nine o'clock but another phone call forced a change of plans.

    290

    My friends did all they could to excite my curiosity by hints and half-spelled sentences which they pretended to break off in the nick of time.

    291

    My monolog was blurted out non-stop for fear she'd cut me off before I finished.

    292

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

    293

    Nothing to echo off of, she supposed.

    294

    Now a billion or more can achieve that dream, and I foresee a time not far off when everyone on the planet can.

    295

    Now some really big names tell me to back off but it's my hen house where all you fox are playing.

    296

    Nowadays they cart them off to some baby sitter they hardly know, just to get the kids out of their hair.

    297

    Of all the emotions running through her mind, the one that hurt the most was knowing that everyone outside Hell had already written her off as a goner.

    298

    Of course, a little make-up and the right clothes could do wonders - which was a good way to wind up straying off the path she had mapped before she left home.

    299

    Off to one side was an old fire ring but no buildings or people.

    300

    Oh sure, and if I started taking my clothes off, you'd tell me to stop, right?

    301

    Oh, come off it, Brandon.

    302

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

    303

    Once in a while, I'm off duty and a call comes to someone else but I think the tipster person maybe knows my hours, 'cause it's rare another girl has to answer.

    304

    Once we get the problem off our "to-do list" and stick it onto the computer's, we largely will be done.

    305

    One member of Mountain Rescue grabbed him under the arms while another unfastened his line, but he shook off their ministrations while he tried to focus on the activity going on around him.

    306

    One of the monsters pulled off its head to reveal a man.

    307

    Or maybe peeling your skin off?

    308

    Or that taste like meat, taking pastureland off the grid.

    309

    Otherwise, it looked the way she left it, except that the air conditioning was off.

    310

    Patsy got mad at one of the women where we were staying so she swiped her car and we took off.

    311

    Pierre dropped them off in front, waiting until they stepped across the entrance before driving off.

    312

    Pissing off Jonny wasn't part of her plan, so she took her anger out on punching bags every evening.

    313

    Probably, but I wouldn't be working off that cake and ice cream, either.

    314

    Pumpkin nearly fell off his chair.

    315

    Pumpkin trotted off, bouncing on legs Dean would die for.

    316

    Quinn shut his off and no one calls me.

    317

    Seeing him well rested and well dressed pissed her off even more.

    318

    Sexy, even when you want to cut my head off.

    319

    She armed herself, not willing to be caught off guard, then joined her father in the tiny foyer.

    320

    She can take Martha's place, trying to calm Howie down enough so he can nod off but keep beating on her the importance of keeping her mouth shut.

    321

    She can't go out in sunlight … Jake trailed off, deep in thought.

    322

    She cleaned them off with hands that trembled from the confrontation.

    323

    She cut her explanation off short as Cade pulled into the drive.

    324

    She darted off the landing pad with him, and the chopper went up again.

    325

    She finished her breakfast with little conversation and saw Sarah and Tammy off to church.

    326

    She had checked off three of the seven exercises she'd learned from the books she read.

    327

    She had fallen off a bluff.

    328

    She hopped off the four by four, reached out to Darian and grabbed his hand, pulling him with her.

    329

    She kicked off her shoes and stretched out on the couch, lacing fingers behind her head.

    330

    She lifted the hair off her neck and sighed as she paused in the shade of a huge oak tree.

    331

    She peeled off the thick coat and draped it over one bench before seating herself facing the door, as her father had taught her.

    332

    She picked a toy off the floor.

    333

    She picked up a small valise and lifted her skirt as she stepped off the boardwalk into the dust.

    334

    She pulled a pen and paper off the desk in the corner and held them out to him.

    335

    She pushed herself off the floor and rose.

    336

    She ran into a blurry wall, shoved herself off, and smashed into another monster.

    337

    She reached over and turned off the radio.

    338

    She roamed the bottom floor until she reached the door off one of the kitchens.

    339

    She rose and dusted off her legs from where she'd knelt.

    340

    She screamed and launched off of it.

    341

    She screeched to a stop at Bird Song and was off almost before he was out of the vehicle.

    342

    She shook off the rain in the doorway and crossed to the small booth near the bar that she and her father usually shared.

    343

    She sighed and stepped off the porch.

    344

    She sighed heavily and slid off the bed.

    345

    She slid off the counter and straightened too quickly.

    346

    She snapped the radio off.

    347

    She sped away, and they took off up the driveway with the swordsman trailing.

    348

    She stabbed the spade into the flowerbed and gazed off into the distance.

    349

    She stared out the windows at the telephone poles as they approached and sped off in a blur.

    350

    She stepped out of the tub and dried off.

    351

    She took careful aim and squeezed off a shot.

    352

    She took off, noting where she entered the woods, and using a tall Sycamore tree as a trail marker.

    353

    She turned off the light and pulled the covers up.

    354

    She used scissors to cut off his shirt.

    355

    She was better off pulling a random diagnosis out of a hat.

    356

    She was off to the library to meet with a book club; she commented that her heart wasn't in it with Martha still missing.

    357

    She was putting plates on the table when the school bus dropped Jonathan off.

    358

    She was several miles from where she was supposed to be, off to meet a boy.

    359

    She worked tirelessly all night to clean the blood off of Jule.

    360

    She yanked his hood off.

    361

    She'd forgotten his presence, but he peeled off one glove to display a scarred forearm and hand.

    362

    She'd never known what would set him off, or what would earn her a blow.

    363

    She'd sworn off men-- especially this one-- a year ago!

    364

    Sheriff Fitzgerald hardly gave Dean enough time to exit his vehicle before tearing off up the street in the direction of the mountain road.

    365

    Slack off the pressure or have the poor man visit a head-guy.

    366

    So they told some young child about their find, assuming he'd report it and get them off the hook.

    367

    So what if he shaves off the mustache?

    368

    Sofia darted off the table, staring at him as he entered, trailed by Two and the man with green eyes.

    369

    Sofia turned off the shower and dried herself before opening the door between the small bathroom and the bedroom.

    370

    Some one balances the toboggan on the very crest of the hill, while we get on, and when we are ready, off we dash down the side of the hill in a headlong rush, and, leaping a projection, plunge into a snow-drift and go swimming far across the pond at a tremendous rate!...

    371

    Sometimes with an automobile, I can sort-of get inside, if it doesn't move off too fast.

    372

    Sounds right if he got that gal in trouble and dragged her off to God-knows-where.

    373

    Suddenly he flicked off the flashlight, plunging them into utter darkness as she stumbled against him.

    374

    Sure, unless he forces you off the road!

    375

    Sure. He was like those guys in the musicals—loveable rogues who roll into town and catch the eye of the local star-struck gal and sweep them off their feet.

    376

    Surely you have time off as well, otherwise, how would you have time to come all the way out here.

    377

    Talon's work on her arms pissed him off, but he hadn't considered the wounds were as recent as yesterday.

    378

    Tammy and Sarah were in the kitchen when she returned, and Tammy was standing in a chair ripping the cover off some chocolate chip cookies.

    379

    Thank you for getting me off the hook.

    380

    Thanks. Since your radio isn't on, I'm guessing you're off duty.

    381

    That got me pissed off and Quinn accused me of always taking Howie's side.

    382

    That was how they got off; not with sex.

    383

    That's why the other ranchers want to kill off the wolf?

    384

    The assassin obliged without question, stripping off weapons and handing them to Jule.

    385

    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.

    386

    The Black God wasn't able to take his eyes off her.

    387

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

    388

    The dark interior set off caution bells again.

    389

    The Deans found themselves alone on the front porch, with only Mrs. Lincoln for company, as Fred was off to the library for more research.

    390

    The death dealer stripped off his shirt and weapons to display a muscular body.

    391

    The director tried to question me but I cut him off, saying we possessed no ambitions beyond what we were doing.

    392

    The doctor said his cholesterol was high and told him to lay off the fats.

    393

    The drug wore off, leaving her in a dark fog, hot and sweating with a different kind of headache, the kind she got after taking a lot of Dr. Mallard's drugs.

    394

    The election is weeks off.

    395

    The enemy is advancing to destroy Russia, to desecrate the tombs of our fathers, to carry off our wives and children.

    396

    The FBI can fill you in better when they get here but this guy's been off the grid since he was released from prison last summer.

    397

    The fingers of one hand clutched her throat, while the other warded off her blows.

    398

    The force of the strike knocked everyone off their feet and deadened the firelight, except for the torches in the corners.

    399

    The gloves were off.

    400

    The Guardian's muffled voice grew louder as he pulled the head off the costume.

    401

    The hare arched his back and bounded off yet more swiftly.

    402

    The horses moved off the bank.

    403

    The house sits more than a mile off the snow plow route, so sometimes I'm snowed in for a week or so.

    404

    The Internet is still able to be "turned off" by despotic rulers.

    405

    The mansion rocked as Dusty's first set of explosions went off.

    406

    The muskrat will gnaw his third leg off to be free.

    407

    The neighbors couldn't see into any of their windows, and they were far enough off the main road that the only traffic would be people coming to see them.

    408

    The next stop on his list was visiting Ms. Lydia Larkin, deputy sheriff, whose presentation of a speeding ticket and general attitude still pissed him off, just remembering it.

    409

    The other day I broke my doll's head off; but that was not a dreadful accident, because dolls do not live and feel, like people.

    410

    The other guests, embarrassed to see their host so humiliated and wanting no part of a Dawkins brawl, murmured excuses and toddled off to bed.

    411

    The power pushed her off balance, and she caught herself before it sent her sprawling into the blood pooled around her.

    412

    The second put his weapon away and darted off down another hallway.

    413

    The smile slid off his face.

    414

    The swordsman lifted a sword off the ground and raised it, charging her.

    415

    The top was still off, allowing additional room, but he still felt three or four trips lay ahead.

    416

    The two young women didn't get off at that stop.

    417

    The vehicle rambled over a large boulder, skidding off to the left before Westlake wrenched the wheel and righted it.

    418

    The words swirled off the page and morphed into images of men and women.

    419

    Then he took off when the well ran dry— and his girlfriend started filling out.

    420

    Then he'll be taking off.

    421

    Then the host caught her off guard when the conversation segued to the Psychic Tipster.

    422

    Then when Mary arrived, you ran off.

    423

    Then you wouldn't have run off that cliff.

    424

    There was no denying the sensation of sweat dripping off her body.

    425

    There was no point in freezing her buns off darting across the cold floor to lock the door.

    426

    They backed off and waited a day before questioning him.

    427

    They didn't drive long, and the car pulled off to the side of the road.

    428

    They entered a large neighborhood and drove the same few blocks a few times before stopping in front of a large adobe hacienda walled off from its neighbors.

    429

    They let us go off by ourselves for the whole afternoon while they messed around.

    430

    They lived about a mile off through the woods, and were quite used to the route.

    431

    They moved off and their voices faded into the noise of the waking town.

    432

    They paused on the front porch, taking off their boots and shaking their clothes in the afternoon sun.

    433

    They seem to know man isn't a threat until the engine is shut off.

    434

    They told him no, and with a wave, he was off to commiserate with his protégés.

    435

    They'd like to search the LeBlanc's place on the off chance our boy broke in there too and maybe got careless.

    436

    They're giving us the day off tomorrow and the Fourth of July.

    437

    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.

    438

    This is my day off.

    439

    This is off the record but someone else thought to be a possible lead to the tipster was threatened recently.

    440

    This time he followed the main road for a while before dipping off onto a well used trail.

    441

    This will be off the record.

    442

    Three empty bedrooms were closed off to the heat, as well as a full bath that looked as though it hadn't been used in years.

    443

    Too weak to push it off, he let his head drop back onto the cushion behind him.

    444

    Turning on one heal, she stalked off to her wagon.

    445

    Twelve dollars later I was let off at a shabby red brick building in a section of town where no tour busses stop.

    446

    Two obeyed, lifting her off the floor and carrying her.

    447

    Two swung his legs off the bed, holding his breath in case she spoke again.

    448

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

    449

    Walking so fast that it created a breeze that caught the loose hair hanging down her back, she turned her ankle slipping off her sandals.

    450

    We can blow half the place up and send in a team to finish off the rest.

    451

    We decided to take the evening off and have a nice meal in Boston.

    452

    We didn't exactly hit it off.

    453

    We just turned off the highway, so we'll be there pretty soon.

    454

    We need to dust off a few ops plans for this weekend.

    455

    We were busy cutting out paper dolls; but we soon wearied of this amusement, and after cutting up our shoestrings and clipping all the leaves off the honeysuckle that were within reach, I turned my attention to Martha's corkscrews.

    456

    We were on a drug bust and someone tipped off the bad guys.

    457

    We'll talk when you cool off and get yourself together.

    458

    We're off the front page recently and frankly, that pleases me to no end.

    459

    Weller said before signing off.

    460

    Westlake was once again off photographing; the Dawkins, in independent pairs, Jeeping somewhere in the mountains, probably spying on one another.

    461

    What if I fall off?

    462

    What time do you get off?

    463

    When a passage interests her, or she needs to remember it for some future use, she flutters it off swiftly on the fingers of her right hand.

    464

    When Alex lowered her to the ground, she jerked her hand free and marched off to the house.

    465

    When Lisa questioned Sarah about the car, she passed it off as a friend of Giddon's, and quickly changed the subject.

    466

    When she crawled into bed and turned off the light, the night sky performed a fireworks display in the distance.

    467

    When you ran off like that, I didn't know what to think.

    468

    Where are you off to?

    469

    Where has she run off to?

    470

    Where was platinum, palladium, scandium, coal or peanuts slacking off?

    471

    Who knew what would tick him off?

    472

    Why did she need to prove to anyone, least of all herself, that she was right in breaking off the relationship?

    473

    Why did you go running off like that?

    474

    Why don't you curl up on the couch and get your bare feet off this cold floor?

    475

    Why don't you take off?

    476

    With lightning speed, he caught the end of the whip in his hand and jerked violently, catching her off balance and pulling her off her feet.

    477

    With some regret, he rolled off her and padded to the bathroom, feeling her eyes on him.

    478

    Would he ditch her and run off with the other woman?

    479

    Would it be such an imposition to take just one day off to go see my parents?

    480

    Y'all pissed really them off this time, didn't you?

    481

    Yancey stalked off to his chair, muttering something under his breath.

    482

    Yeah. So he's like off the hook.

    483

    Yet she drew off his magic now.

    484

    You asked about a con named Willard Humphries a while back and I told you he was out of prison and floated off in the breeze.

    485

    You brought our man closer to being identified than anyone else so you should kiss off any guilty feelings.

    486

    You could drop Molly and me off at Logan airport for the ten o'clock flight to California, be in Philadelphia by early evening, and fly out to join us the next morning.

    487

    You fell off a cliff?

    488

    You know Cade; you could make a profit off this ranch other ways than running cattle.

    489

    You must have had a reason to mouth off.

    490

    You said they were off before he got here.

    491

    You think Lydia knocked off Fitzgerald so she could run for sheriff?

    492

    You'll have a ball if they don't boot you off before you reach the court room.

    493

    You'll just piss him off.

    494

    You're beginning to hack me off.

    495

    You're just afraid she'd toss you off the mountain for being so nosy—as well she should!

    496

    You're off the clock now.

    497

    You're really off on yourself, aren't you?

    498

    You've got the summer off.

    499

    Yully let the power fill her and mix with the other energies, staving off panic that there was much more than she could ever control.

    500

    Zach jerked suddenly, knocking his cap off and exposing a scalp full of red hair.
