One in A Sentence

    1

    A 55-gallon barrel stood in one corner with rags hanging over the edge.

    2

    A balloon meant to her some other arrival from the surface of the earth, and she hoped it would be some one able to assist her and Zeb out of their difficulties.

    3

    A few minutes later the television was on one of Tammy's shows.

    4

    A quick check assured no one was in the house.

    5

    A spinning wheel stood in one corner, partially covered by a dusty sheet, and beside it, a mahogany rocker with a cobbler seat.

    6

    A wisp of blond hair hung over one eye and Lisa brushed it back.

    7

    After all, he was the one who insisted that his mother was her boss.

    8

    After leaving the town, we drove around the surrounding countryside in hopes Howie my spot one of the scenes of his other visions.

    9

    After one last look around to see if she was being watched, she started into the woods.

    10

    All her dreams had been dashed - all but one.

    11

    An overseas bank account in the company name contained a balance of one million dollars as startup funds for us to secure quarters for the enterprise.

    12

    And all the time she thought she was the only one with the torrid thoughts.

    13

    And so, one by one, the nine tiny piglets were pushed together until but a single one of the creatures remained.

    14

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

    15

    Anyway she finally got so lonely and depressed that she locked herself in her room one day and shot herself.

    16

    Apparently he spent a lot of time on the back of a horse, riding his range in all kinds of weather - a fact that prompted more than one comment by townsfolk that he had wasted a good college education.

    17

    Are we going to have one of these relationships where we have to constantly prove our love to each other?

    18

    As I alighted from my cab, they moved as one toward me.

    19

    Assured that no one was there, she went to her room.

    20

    At least one more thing before I release you.

    21

    At least they had one common interest.

    22

    At least two different people call in the tips but I'm guessing only one person is the psychic.

    23

    At one end of the field was a lean-to shelter with some kind of equipment stored under it.

    24

    At one time, a hotel, accommodating a hundred guests and stable for seventy-five horses, adorned its slopes.

    25

    At the moment he was one of the most important people in her life.

    26

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

    27

    Being first in line one day meant being last in line the next.

    28

    Being tempted was one thing, giving in to temptation was something else.

    29

    Best I pluck one from their pack and nicely convince that person to share their secret with Daddy!

    30

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

    31

    Betsy is standing on one leg and she's holding a Time magazine, open to page eighteen.

    32

    Bordeaux dismounted, surveying the camp, landscape and men in one rolling glance.

    33

    Bordeaux had one arm wrapped fondly around the shoulders of a saloon girl.

    34

    Bordeaux helped her into the saddle and then mounted one of the mules.

    35

    Bordeaux lay against her back, one arm around her waist and one leg thrown carelessly over hers.

    36

    Bordeaux was stretched on the sand outside the firelight, leaning on one elbow while he ate.

    37

    Both Quinn and Howie protested as one with a negative shout.

    38

    Brandon was focused on one thing, and it wasn't romance.

    39

    But Bryce wasn't the one who killed Brenda Washington!

    40

    But could you do one favor?

    41

    But I think Julie is right about one thing.

    42

    But I will I find another perfect one before I'm on my way!

    43

    But I'm not sure there's any accurate way of proving that one way or the other.

    44

    But if Bordeaux wasn't a Mormon, why would he propose to two women in one day?

    45

    By the time they reached their daughter she was dead, with no one in sight.

    46

    Cade only wanted one thing - and she had foolishly submitted.

    47

    Can we do one more before you leave?

    48

    Can you do this one last favor for me?

    49

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

    50

    Cassie cleaned the supper dishes as best she could with sand, and stored them in one of the packs.

    51

    Cassie, your father should be the one to tell you this, but since you're not likely to give him the chance, I'll tell you.

    52

    Claudette had gone one step too far.

    53

    Coming out was a totally new step and one I shouldn't be taking alone.

    54

    Connie caught her breath So you were the one who told him how to get to the house.

    55

    Could you just talk to the guy who got out of jail; the one everyone thought killed my sister?

    56

    Cynthia leaned over as they drew near one and tried to pet it, but the cow moved away a few steps and began grazing again.

    57

    Davis was right about one thing.

    58

    Do I think he'll find us from Julie's letter, one of maybe thousands; it's unlikely.

    59

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

    60

    Do you think it was Pete or one of the other guys?

    61

    Don't make me be the one to call it quits.

    62

    Don't you ever try to use one of those on me again.

    63

    Each and every one of them wants to kill us!

    64

    Each day they changed positions in line so that no one ate the dust from all the wagons every day.

    65

    Even at this hour a piano was pounding out a raucous tune in one of the three saloons.

    66

    Even Rachel and Julia insisted that she was the one with the problem.

    67

    Finding no one there, she relaxed and began fixing breakfast.

    68

    First I'd have to find a man before I could find a new one.

    69

    First of all, I wasn't the only one involved.

    70

    For a moment he held Zach, body in one hand and head cradled in the other.

    71

    For one brief instant, he looked at Adrienne as if he actually saw her.

    72

    Four dissimilar individuals, tied to a damaged being known only to one of us who at one time hated him for the loss of her friend.

    73

    Frankly, it's a pain in the ass with five people using one bathroom.

    74

    Giddon paid no attention to the three at the pool, patting Diablo's nose and talking softly to him as if no one was around.

    75

    Grasping the break with one hand, she met his amused gaze.

    76

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

    77

    He deserved an apology, and she intended to give him one - if she ever saw him again.

    78

    He dismounted in one graceful movement and started unsaddling Diablo.

    79

    He drew his mount to a halt beside her and kicked one foot free of the stirrup, offering a hand up.

    80

    He gave her a big hug and turned to Cassie with one arm encircling Darcie possessively.

    81

    He hinted this case was only one of his many accomplishments.

    82

    He knew I had a wife and there was at least one other female and we numbered five.

    83

    He knows the tipster exists because the tipster has information no one could learn through normal means.

    84

    He leaned one shoulder against the door jam and frowned down at her.

    85

    He left the wallet with the body so no one knew the card and papers even existed, much less were stolen.

    86

    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.

    87

    He lifted one brow.

    88

    He looked startled for a second, and then his eyes flashed, the brows furrowing into one.

    89

    He only owned one suit.

    90

    He paused with the spoon half way to his lips and raised one brow.

    91

    He pulled her close again, kissing her lips while one hand fumbled with the buttons on her pants.

    92

    He raised one eyebrow.

    93

    He simply went into town one day and never returned.

    94

    He slung the dishtowel over his shoulder and one long step brought him to a point where she was pinned in the corner of the counter.

    95

    He spun on one heal and left the hotel.

    96

    He took one look at the suitcases on the bed and started toward her.

    97

    He turned and mounted his horse in one lithe movement.

    98

    He wants me to get you to talk to that sex offender who's free; the one they thought killed Annie.

    99

    He was forty one, last July.

    100

    He was simply one of their children.

    101

    He was the one for her – but was she the one for him?

    102

    He was the one that kept me honest.

    103

    He was the one who had been deceptive.

    104

    He was the only one.

    105

    He wasn't buying it for one minute.

    106

    He wasn't one bit concerned that she had caught him.

    107

    He's the one the newspaper is always talking about... the psychic.

    108

    He's the only one who is a direct threat and that's due to our coming so close to getting him in the past.

    109

    He's the only one who knew how to manipulate them.

    110

    He's with one named Julie but I don't know who she is nor do I know not how long they plan to stay.

    111

    Her legs felt like posts, but she drug one foot in front of another until the ground under her feet seemed to change.

    112

    Her one saving grace was the fact that the next morning he didn't act as though nothing had happened.

    113

    His eyes were dancing with amusement as he used one hand to jerk the towel free and expose cut-off blue jeans.

    114

    His jaw muscles worked as he spun on one heel and marched to the outside door, slamming it as he left.

    115

    His voice was low and she was sure no one else heard, but her face burned furiously.

    116

    How could I go on believing no one would succumb to such temptation?

    117

    Howard wasn't the one involved with drugs.

    118

    However, I was but one of five.

    119

    Howie remained silent during verbal our exchange, looking form one of us to the other, content to let us orchestrate the production.

    120

    Howie said you're the smart one.

    121

    Howie showed no signs of the anxiety he displayed on round one but his eagerness kept him awake.

    122

    Howie would never ask Quinn himself; as always seeking one of us as a go-between.

    123

    I am only one of a number of concerned citizen contributors.

    124

    I answered his question with one of my own.

    125

    I asked her that one of them call me with the results.

    126

    I assume you're the one responsible for the new look.

    127

    I calmed Martha down and both Betsy and I spoke to all three of them, one by one.

    128

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

    129

    I could think of no one to call!

    130

    I don't even want to know which one of you is baiting the hook.

    131

    I don't mean the four attempts on the one case.

    132

    I don't really know, but I think I answered one of the first calls they made.

    133

    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.

    134

    I guess you took one on the head too.

    135

    I have one situation you could try, Betsy offered.

    136

    I just ask one thing; will you take my word for one item and if you stop this vehicle you'll have more reward than you'll know what to do with.

    137

    I let our stupid house rules stand between us for a long time, but I was the one who finally broke them.

    138

    I may be dead wrong, but I for one say, go for it.

    139

    I must be sure before I strike and not leave the psychic one behind to torment me.

    140

    I never knew you thought of me as anything but a housekeeper - an opinionated one at that.

    141

    I never made a speech or a sermon... at least one I remember.

    142

    I rang the bell and I could see shadow movement behind the thin drapes but no one answered.

    143

    I regretted the words as soon as I'd spoken; suggesting a lie to cover a larger one.

    144

    I saw you up there one time.

    145

    I see on the internet another one of us was caught!

    146

    I sensed it was a difficult one on his part.

    147

    I slowly opened one eye with the firm intent to tell him to get lost.

    148

    I think helping Lisa has made me realize that one person can make a difference.

    149

    I think you're one of the few people who would truly appreciate it.

    150

    I think you're the one who is placing the blame on yourself.

    151

    I thought he could stay in one of the rooms upstairs at night – if you don't mind.

    152

    I told her we escaped the Vermont abduction attempted, if it really was one.

    153

    I tried to sneak one in on my own.

    154

    I trusted you with that information and you gave it to the one person she didn't want to know.

    155

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

    156

    I was the only one to see those visions.

    157

    I wasn't the one running away.

    158

    I wouldn't deny one's right to fulfill love, but doing so will have serious consequences on an untold number of lives, even those you're saving.

    159

    I wouldn't mind having one myself.

    160

    I, for one, would like to find a secure place in a medium size town, with all of us living nearby.

    161

    I'd assume no one would believe me and I'd be at a loss to prove what I saw.

    162

    I'll write it in general terms, speculating on how difficult it is to maintain both lives, operating one incognito.

    163

    I'm here in one piece, sort of, and you've given me a clean slate to begin act two of my life.

    164

    I'm sorry if the lab caused problems, but no one has to sleep there again, at least with Quinn's gizmos operating.

    165

    I'm sorry to have missed act one, but I promise a short intermission before I give act two a try.

    166

    I'm sure it's your Delaware-Alabama guy, the one who murdered the fake psychic Youngblood in California.

    167

    I'm surprised she didn't figure that one out right away.

    168

    I'm the one most up in the pulpit on security.

    169

    I'm the one who owes you an apology, not the other way around.

    170

    I've lingered too long in one campground as well.

    171

    If any one of you lays a hand on her, you'll be answering to me.

    172

    If I couldn't be honest with her, there was no one I could trust.

    173

    If it is not she I suspect she possesses knowledge of the one I seek, the one who is my target.

    174

    If it's that important to you, I'll find some one to take care of the ranch.

    175

    If nothing happens, we can eliminate one possibility.

    176

    If one of us has to leave, I'll go.

    177

    If one of us is identified as being part of what we're doing, we're all in trouble.

    178

    If one of us is threatened, we can't give up the others if we don't know where they went.

    179

    If one wagon got stuck, the rest would have to stop while one of the other teams was unhitched and added to pull the wagon out.

    180

    If our boy made his getaway at more than five or ten miles an hour, you can bet your ass he was on one of these babies.

    181

    If there's one thing he can't stand, it must be an independent female.

    182

    If there's one thing I don't need, it's a man telling me how to run my life.

    183

    If we all treated you like one of the guys, wouldn't you be a little disappointed?

    184

    If you tell me every little thing you know or even suspect, I'll just drive away and let you walk down the lane to one of those farm houses we passed.

    185

    If you throw one more dead animal at my feet, I'm going to beat you over the head with it.

    186

    In 2010, people were uploading one hundred million photos on Facebook every single day.

    187

    In any event, she's got one story and she's sticking to it like a nightly prayer, at least for now.

    188

    In fact, he was the one who was acting selfish!

    189

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

    190

    In spite of his size, his steps were light, as if he chose every one carefully.

    191

    In spite of my fervent hope you can continues indefinitely, I know in my heart, one day it will end.

    192

    In the fog of desire she knew one thing - it was too late to protest.

    193

    Instead, she collected a few small photos and arranged them all in one frame.

    194

    Is it one of your cases?

    195

    Is it the only one?

    196

    It all happened so fast that she didn't have time to think, only to cling to the one solid thing she could find - Cade.

    197

    It isn't one of those things you can talk through, I guess.

    198

    It replaced an old wooden one that burned.

    199

    It was a community where I could see Betsy and me raising children and watching grandchildren while four distinct seasons rolled slowly by, marking the years one by one.

    200

    It was a Sports Illustrated swim suit issue so old they were wearing one piece suits.

    201

    It was nice to get away for a while, but the way women acted, you'd think I was romantically involved with every one of the men.

    202

    It was obvious no one was aware of me; I wasn't there to any of them.

    203

    It was on one of these occasions that she wandered farther than she realized.

    204

    It was one thing to ask casual questions of Giddon's daughter.

    205

    It was stuffed with one thousand dollar bills – fifty of them.

    206

    It was the joyous weekend my future wife and I made public our marriage plans, with no one listening.

    207

    It's a nice one, low mileage and looks to be in excellent condition.

    208

    It's just too bad that you're the only one who gets to enjoy them.

    209

    It's not one of the ones we've caught; they're in jail, for the most part.

    210

    It's the truth only no one will come out and say it.

    211

    Julie from Boston reentered the picture bright one Monday morning when she accompanied Howie into the office.

    212

    Knowing that was one thing.

    213

    Leaning forward she reached up with one hand and cupped the back of his neck.

    214

    Leaning into one stirrup, she forced her other leg over the back of the horse and dismounted.

    215

    Len was the only one left she could trust, and she couldn't tell him anything without implicating Yancey.

    216

    Let me make one thing clear.

    217

    Let's go do the chores one last time before we leave.

    218

    Life was empty without him and no one seemed to be anxious to replace him - especially her parents.

    219

    Lifting the skirt slightly with one hand so she wouldn't trip on it, she let the other hand slide lightly down the banister for added balance.

    220

    Like he said; he only has one mother, and he can finish his schooling later.

    221

    Like the way his broad shoulders swayed so gracefully with each step as he strode to the corral - or the way he lounged in a doorway, coffee in one hand, one long leg thrown carelessly over the other.

    222

    Martha burst into tears and we tried one last time.

    223

    Martha cried and laughed and hugged each of us, one by one.

    224

    Martha looked at it longingly while the three of us emptied one in no time with Quinn doening the lion's share.

    225

    Martha's only comment was that it was nice to hear at least one piece of good news.

    226

    Mary showed up one morning in time to witness that fact.

    227

    Mary was right about one thing.

    228

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

    229

    Maybe one of those brown sacks in the laundry room would work, and she could put the pictures in with it.

    230

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

    231

    Mortgages for all of us were quickly processed through a private bank owned by one of Merrill Cooms' entities.

    232

    Most of the boys she dated would never have thought of practicing the age-old custom of walking around the car to open her door, or guiding her through the crowd with a gentle hand on one elbow.

    233

    Mr. Marsh is the one who is responsible.

    234

    Mr. Singer told you I was the one they interviewed for that talk show?

    235

    Mrs. Marsh had found one last reserve of uncontrollable sobs.

    236

    Multiple pairs of feet hurried down the hall and Connie was the first one through the door.

    237

    My search is for more than one as person as the tipster has helpers.

    238

    New, disease resistant trees are bringing back the splendor of what has been called one of the prettiest towns in New England.

    239

    No need to cry on such a pretty day, little one.

    240

    No one ever mentioned Molly's other parent.

    241

    No one ever thought he'd return to the living.

    242

    No one had a rebuttal.

    243

    No one had a suggestion.

    244

    No one had been to that box before her.

    245

    No one had learned to duplicate his settings nor did any of us want to be so educated.

    246

    No one has ever come this close to catching me!

    247

    No one in the family ever discussed the details.

    248

    No one is forcing you to witness that stuff!

    249

    No one knew she was there except...

    250

    No one knows how to use any of it, Julie.

    251

    No one suggested evening games and by the time the dishes were cleared, everyone was fidgety and ready to proceed but Quinn remained in his lab.

    252

    No one want's to force anything on him.

    253

    No one was in sight when she reached the building, but the door was open.

    254

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

    255

    No one will believe a psychic is calling the shots.

    256

    No one will ever know.

    257

    No one will see me and tip those who vow to stop my kind.

    258

    No one's going to storm in here and arrest you are they?

    259

    No one's looking for her, but she won't buy it.

    260

    No, Bordeaux had only one reason for wanting to marry Cassie - the ranch.

    261

    No, he's just in one of his moods.

    262

    No, I searched a long time before I found each one and I paid dearly.

    263

    No, I was the one saying that.

    264

    No, this one is ours.

    265

    No. But if I were trying to defend my honor, you'd be the one I would choose to take up there.

    266

    Not that one had anything to do with the other, but the technology of surrogacy would have been inconceivable back then.

    267

    Noticing Bordeaux was the only one who didn't have coffee, she poured another cup and handed it to him.

    268

    Now I was the one to anxiously await contact.

    269

    Now the world has one less fool!

    270

    Now there is one less hunter to compete with me for the precious little ones.

    271

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

    272

    Now you've learned to use caution and untraceable phones, but I caught you're one mistake, didn't I?

    273

    Now, a state park, the mountain remains a popular destination for one day hikers.

    274

    Of course - no one said he wasn't.

    275

    Of course, what goes on between you two in this big lonely house when no one else is around is between the two of you.

    276

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

    277

    Oh well, life was full of unpleasantness and this was a minor one.

    278

    Once Howie was under, he broke a record for duration; one hour and eighteen minutes.

    279

    One arm tightened around her in a light hug, and then he released her, striding away after a screwdriver.

    280

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

    281

    One brow shot up.

    282

    One chore remained before I'd do so though I was as nervous as a fly on a fry pan about it.

    283

    One clue following another until we are together and I rid myself of your foolish games and inconvenient interruptions.

    284

    One day it wouldn't start.

    285

    One day we were out, so I put some powdered sugar in a bag.

    286

    One day when they were sitting on the porch steps together, Brandon proposed a solution.

    287

    One day, not long ago, I heard something strange.

    288

    One evening, when Tammy was in bed and the three of them were relaxing in the family room, the telephone rang.

    289

    One hand gracefully held the folds of her dress and the other brushed a wayward curl from her forehead.

    290

    One hand on her waist, the other holding hers lightly, he gracefully swept her around.

    291

    One hand shot out in an instinctive search for anything to stop her fall.

    292

    One incident was an obvious abduction in rural Delaware that occurred overnight.

    293

    One little boy chose "The Horse."

    294

    One more problem you don't need.

    295

    One of my men spotted a Pace Arrow and was about to stop it when he saw it had Alabama license plates so he let it pass and kept going.

    296

    One of our agents in the Midwest says his grandson was found after a weird tip.

    297

    One of the claws was ripped almost completely out.

    298

    One of the Keene campgrounds proved to be a mobile home park with no short term visitors.

    299

    One of the men is staying up with her.

    300

    One of the minions in Betsy's organization had arranged for a pleasure car for her weekend, courtesy of her boss who felt guilty for her frequent out of town travel.

    301

    One of the mules bared its teeth at him.

    302

    One of us chatted with Merrill Cooms weekly, simply keeping in touch with our benefactor.

    303

    One part of her mind was whispering for her to push him away, but the other side was shouting that it didn't matter.

    304

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

    305

    One second she was falling head over heels, the next rolling on her side.

    306

    One thing led to another and I finally worked up the courage to offer you the job.

    307

    One thing she had plenty of was hair.

    308

    One thing was obvious about Bordeaux.

    309

    One thing was sure.

    310

    One thought had been gnawing at her consciousness since the first time she suspected him of being involved in drugs.

    311

    One time she was crying so when she went to the bathroom, I read it.

    312

    One was an electric bill, but the other was addressed to Sharon Dobson, Brownsville, Texas.

    313

    One way or another, she had to get into that building.

    314

    One woman want's to write a book about it, but frankly, so might I one day.

    315

    One word answers were easier.

    316

    Only one reason came to mind - because it wasn't dangerous.

    317

    Only one thing came to mind – a drug deal.

    318

    Or just buy one in Santa Barbara, Howie.

    319

    Or was Brandon the one with the problem?

    320

    Our nervous quintet settled in, ordered wine for the drinkers and waited for one of us to start the conversation.

    321

    Over the three day period, we located one lost boy, identified two girls as runaways and fingered a true abduction.

    322

    People at the memorial service had contradictory stories and when Howie pressed them, no one seemed to have any real facts.

    323

    Personally, the thought we might work together in one location, absent the hectic schedule presently exhausting us, made me giddy and set my mind a-tumble with possibilities.

    324

    Pete's attention was darting from one of them to the other.

    325

    Police called it the work of one person, attributed to at least six earlier deaths.

    326

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

    327

    Quinn seemed relieved no one was blaming him or his experiments.

    328

    Quinn shut his off and no one calls me.

    329

    Remember in grade school when one of those bullies would put you in a half-nelson or whatever you call it, and twist your arm up your back?

    330

    Riding horses was one of her favorite pastimes, and the country out that way was gorgeous - winter or summer.

    331

    Roxanne had a set her cap for him and Adrienne had no intention of being the one to spoil her friends' plans.

    332

    Saturday ended with one success in four tries, and a sizeable telephone bill.

    333

    Sensing a presence, she opened one eye.

    334

    She can be the one to talk Howie to sleep too.

    335

    She covered her eyes with one forearm and succumbed to tears.

    336

    She didn't want the family picture, as that was the one they used in the newspaper.

    337

    She gazed up at him, completely disarmed by his smile, and yet somehow proud that she had been the one to put it there.

    338

    She had been the one who had betrayed, and the person she had betrayed was Yancey.

    339

    She had no idea what made him angry one minute and jovial the next.

    340

    She had spent too much time hating him to do that all in one day, though.

    341

    She is the one from Surry and her name is listed as Elizabeth in the phone book but they call her Betty, or Becky or some foolish diminutive.

    342

    She lit with one foot underneath her body, and the momentum of her fall threw her forward - over the ledge.

    343

    She made her way clumsily through one episode and then watched as his long fingers moved gracefully over the keys.

    344

    She made sure her computer was solely a word processor with no on line capabilities so no one could ever hack into it.

    345

    She only brought one book from home.

    346

    She packed all the dishes and stashed them in the back of one of the wagons.

    347

    She patted the handle of her whip with one hand and caressed the stock of her rifle with the other.

    348

    She piled one arm high and closed the door.

    349

    She plodded on, willing herself to take each step, not thinking of the miles to go, but merely getting through one more painful step.

    350

    She released his arm only to grab it again as one of the buggy wheels dropped into a pothole.

    351

    She shrugged and handed him her canteen, accepting the full one he offered.

    352

    She shrugged one shoulder.

    353

    She slipped one arm around his neck and returned the kiss, answering his question.

    354

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

    355

    She stopped suddenly, grasping the tree with one hand.

    356

    She told me one time; she'd never cheated on Quinn.

    357

    She tried to smile cheerfully as she looked at him over one shoulder.

    358

    She turned abruptly and pulling my head with one hand, kissed me hard on the mouth while her other hand groped between my legs!

    359

    She turned and rested her hands on the back of one of the kitchen chairs.

    360

    She was the one who had become serious - and with little encouragement on his part.

    361

    She was the one who had insisted on waiting until they were married.

    362

    She was the one who told me that he was a child prodigy.

    363

    She's not as beautiful as the one who bore the infant and until, and until today lived in this house.

    364

    So can I. I got along before I hired you and I think I can manage one meal now.

    365

    So close, and yet she had never seen one in the yard.

    366

    So he placed Dorothy upon one side of him and the boy upon the other and set a lantern upon each of their heads.

    367

    So what difference did it make who came up with the idea as long as it was a good one?

    368

    Somehow, you two have to be honest with one another, regardless of the outcome.

    369

    Someone broke into this house of one of my targets and some sort of mayhem followed.

    370

    Soon he reached the street and disappeared through a glass doorway into one of the glass buildings.

    371

    Still, there was one question she couldn't ask the townspeople.

    372

    Store fronts interspersed with vacant lots lined one side of the street while the other remained absent of any buildings except a closed gas station and a dollar store.

    373

    Successes were limited for the week with one found child, accidently trapped in a locked room of an empty house and one spousal abduction, in the face of a restraining order.

    374

    Suddenly a man appeared through a hole in the roof next to the one they were on and stepped into plain view.

    375

    Surely you dwell here or in one of these surrounding towns.

    376

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

    377

    That is the one thing I have faith in!

    378

    That lady who's in the news, the one from Idaho who claims she's the tipster, she wrote an entry.

    379

    That left only one thing.

    380

    That one's going to beat you home.

    381

    That's when it first crossed my mind that you might be the one.

    382

    The child, an eight year old girl named Marcia Stonehurst, was still in bed at one o'clock.

    383

    The destination of the path remained a burning mystery, but Tammy innocently tossed fuel on the flames with a chance comment one day while they were watching television.

    384

    The fiend who did that is still out there; the one who killed those children and police officer and God knows who else!

    385

    The floor creaked as she chose the one on the right.

    386

    The good looking one?

    387

    The highway ahead of them was clear, except for one big truck coming their way... and a car approaching the highway to their right.

    388

    The houses of the city were all made of glass, so clear and transparent that one could look through the walls as easily as through a window.

    389

    The lamp beside her bed was on and he had a sack in one hand.

    390

    The laundry room was also clean and an old wringer tub still sat in one corner, as though unwilling to completely surrender to modern appliances.

    391

    The LeBlanc house was by far the largest of our group, with four bedrooms, one designed as the nursery.

    392

    The LeBlanc's located on Greenbriar Road in one of Keene's well established neighborhoods.

    393

    The newly christened Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Gustefson were finally merged into one apartment and blissfully drifting back to a day to day routine.

    394

    The next time she glanced at the table where she had seen the driver, no one was there.

    395

    The old woman spoke to one of the younger women.

    396

    The one person she thought she could trust had turned on her.

    397

    The one you dumped me for.

    398

    The restaurant was one that she had heard of, but couldn't afford to enjoy.

    399

    The ride back was quiet, but the silence was a comfortable one, only becoming awkward when they reached the door of his house.

    400

    The riders were a blur in the heat waves, but she was sure one was Pete.

    401

    The smallest state has lots of small people; delightful children everywhere, but alas, now there is one less.

    402

    The truth is, I like your companionship - and I'd like my parents to meet one of my best friends.

    403

    The weather grew intermittently warmer and on one of those sunny warm days, Cade invited her to pack a lunch and join him in a ride on the ranch.

    404

    The yellow skirt of her sundress was molded to the soft curves one side of her body by a breeze.

    405

    Their friendship had been destroyed by one night of passion.

    406

    Then you're the only one.

    407

    There are details no one could know unless they were right there when it was happening and that can't be.

    408

    There are four bedrooms, two more than they need and I've peeked in each, even testing the bed in one.

    409

    There is one set of numbers he changes for the time and he can set the location somehow by longitude and latitude.

    410

    There is one thing I still don't understand – it's out of character.

    411

    There might be a thousand explanations for what she had witnessed, but only one came to mind.

    412

    There was a lion in the linen closet and no one wanted to reach for the towel.

    413

    There was already a sizable gap between her wagon and the one in front of her.

    414

    There was only one thing left to do.

    415

    There was only one thing that she was sure of, and that was the fact that she had an overactive imagination.

    416

    There was only one way to find out... well, maybe two, but asking Sarah or Giddon was probably wasted effort.

    417

    There was probably another one brewing.

    418

    There were only three bedrooms, and because she had to get up the earliest, she was the lucky one to have a room of her own - with the exception of Brandon, of course.

    419

    There were three bedrooms but the largest one, presumably belonging to Howie, was located in the rear of the house where it remained pitch black.

    420

    There's more than one but how many?

    421

    There's one I chat with some times.

    422

    These latest grabs started up last fall so I'm looking at prison releases of sex offenders and going over them one by one.

    423

    These spires were like great spear-points, and if they tumbled upon one of them they were likely to suffer serious injury.

    424

    They had cake and ice cream and talked for nearly an hour about one thing and another.

    425

    They loved one child as much as the other, but one child could never take the place of another.

    426

    They were both silent for a few moments, remembering that emotion packed morning - and another one.

    427

    This Bryce guy was probably the one who got a hold of the contest letter from Julie and broke into her apartment.

    428

    This guy killed maybe a dozen mostly children and at least one cop.

    429

    This was one more example of Howie turning away from anything that might prove uncomfortable.

    430

    This was one of them.

    431

    This was one place Cade obviously didn't spend much time.

    432

    This was one time she couldn't ride the fence.

    433

    This was one trip that wouldn't be boring.

    434

    This would be one Saturday she wouldn't have to crawl out of bed and get ready to go to the diner.

    435

    Though this town is delightful, it's against my principles to remain in one place for an extended duration.

    436

    Three. He killed the mother and father so there was no one to report their daughter missing, for nearly a week.

    437

    Throwing back the covers that had protected her from the cold night air, she grabbed one of her boots.

    438

    Timothy Burton, age five, was last seen at one PM this afternoon in the back yard of his home in Warwick, Rhode Island.

    439

    To create a fake identity, one would need at a minimum, our age, physical description and picture.

    440

    To her surprise, he was the one who broke away.

    441

    To me, that's problem number one.

    442

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

    443

    Two are in California with the ill mother of the one named Howard.

    444

    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.

    445

    Until now she had been thinking of no one but herself.

    446

    Until now she would have sworn that he was the one who never expressed his feelings.

    447

    Wasted years caused by one silly mistake.

    448

    Watching strangers is one thing but I won't look at myself.

    449

    We agreed to limit our test to one phone call.

    450

    We completed one before bedding down just before midnight.

    451

    We conducted one more test before lunch.

    452

    We could rent one.

    453

    We decided to leave the house and reconnoiter at a local restaurant, one that served wine.

    454

    We didn't get around to the other one; the newspaper lady.

    455

    We five hirelings, as dissimilar as snowflakes, are tripping over one another in an effort to display mutual accommodation.

    456

    We have an out of state rental car and no one could possibly recognize either of us.

    457

    We introduced ourselves one by one, each adding a brief history.

    458

    We only managed four sessions; one to an uninhabited area, another in open farm land but one we thought was interesting.

    459

    We received one piece of good news during our blackout period.

    460

    We stole one weekend together, remaining in New York, before answering a summons to join the others in Massachusetts.

    461

    We stumbled into an incredible gift that was bestowed on Howie and we couldn't live with ourselves or look at one another if we didn't embrace everything in our power to maximize its benefits.

    462

    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.

    463

    We would perform this chore one after the other for a total of perhaps fifteen minutes.

    464

    We'd have waited for you, but we was outnumbered three to one and didn't have time to look for you.

    465

    We'd learned to accommodate one another's quirks with no more than a raised eyebrow.

    466

    Well... Yancey, maybe you're the one I should be careful about.

    467

    What about giving one person a fool proof demonstration?

    468

    What must he think of her, encouraging him one minute, and then turning away the next?

    469

    What was down that path that no one wanted to talk about, and why did Giddon insist that his houseguest should not wander around alone?

    470

    What would it have hurt to put her studies aside for one day?

    471

    When Brenda went missing, no one filled in the dots.

    472

    When the music stopped, he cupped one of her elbows and led her back to their table.

    473

    When the visions are decades ago, that's one thing.

    474

    While Betsy and I shared one bedroom and the LeBlanc's the other, Howie was stuck on the living room sofa.

    475

    While I hadn't formulated in my mind how to tackle the problem, I resolved to attack it one on one and keep animosity at bay.

    476

    While Merrill Cooms knew there were five of us and had spoken to each, we'd never identified which one of us held the gift.

    477

    Why, I'd use a pay phone and one not too close by!

    478

    With one leg in my house and one leg out, my man Aldo Benitez shot him.

    479

    With that, he pivoted on one heal and walked away.

    480

    Without a word, he backed the car until they were close to the one that had pulled out in front of them.

    481

    Would you believe he covers up with the excuse that he's saving himself for one special girl?

    482

    Yancey was the first one to the kitchen.

    483

    Yeah, and you're the only one he shares them with - and you won't tell.

    484

    Yes. I'm sorry so many buildings are gone but that one block is enough.

    485

    Yet, one backward glance at the hard lines of the face over hers reminded her that there was more than the gentle side to him.

    486

    You are one person, unique and unequaled in the world!

    487

    You lay the reins against one side of his neck, like this.

    488

    You think born again Saint Willard the Redeemed One might have been involved?

    489

    You want one, Ben?

    490

    You were the one in the photo - the wandering nephew.

    491

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

    492

    You'd better call one of the girls to pick you up.

    493

    You're the one who pushed this relationship.

    494

    You're the one who thinks I'm afraid.

    495

    You're the one who threw the ring at me.

    496

    You're the one who told me I shouldn't come out here in the first place.

    497

    You're the one who...

    498

    You're the only one of us who is his longtime friend.

    499

    You've got a baby up there asleep and you're alone in the house, tying one on.

    500

    Zeb struck a match and lighted one of the lanterns.
