Them in A Sentence

    1

    A curse on the lot of them, especially the state of Texas where the roads never end.

    2

    A deer watched them from the trees.

    3

    A few minutes later another horse came by, its hooves clattering loudly above them.

    4

    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.

    5

    A fire was kindled at the bottom of a deep hole in the ground, big sticks were laid crosswise at the top, and meat was hung from them and turned on spits.

    6

    A motor home passed by, with California plates, only the open road of the entire country ahead of them.

    7

    A piñata had been hung from one of the banisters above and the children of some of the employees joined them.

    8

    A realization he'd never touch them again didn't dispel the feeling I was prying into his world.

    9

    A sailor brought them to Los Angeles and I gave him nine tickets to the circus for them.

    10

    A sudden gust of wind circled them and whispered words in her mind.

    11

    Adrienne glanced at Brandon, who was now watching them.

    12

    Adrienne screamed again, and then the little car ahead of them was pulling off the road.

    13

    Adults would argue with her if she told them she wasn't leaving her brother, Jonny's, side until he was healed.

    14

    After a few minutes of rest she'd go help them.

    15

    After abbreviated greetings, I told them what I'd discovered.

    16

    After all, I wasn't in them to begin with.

    17

    After last night, she had decided to keep things professional between them.

    18

    After lunch, all four of them went outside to play ball.

    19

    After that, whenever the children were hungry, they cried out, "Becos! becos! becos!" till the shepherd gave them something to eat.

    20

    Alex had asked one of the men go into town and rent a car for them.

    21

    Alex had been the one who helped her see them as true family, and yet he was having issues accepting his own father.

    22

    Alex obliged and then the four of them continued to a lot where some horses grazed.

    23

    Alex took them all to dinner to celebrate the birth.

    24

    Alfonso watched all of them intently.

    25

    All of them are being stalked by a serial killer we're sure is now in town.

    26

    All right, I'll throw a few things together and stow them in your car before I leave.

    27

    All the same, Brandon introduced them as his parents - and Adrienne as a friend he had met in Tulsa.

    28

    All this was doing neither of them any good.

    29

    Although she had said the words "I love you," several times, he had not uttered them.

    30

    An uncomfortable silence surrounded them for a while as Rachel diced tomatoes and Adrienne chopped the lettuce.

    31

    And now you're trying to tell me that I don't fit into them either.

    32

    And you didn't pick them?

    33

    Anything else they said faded down the hall after them.

    34

    As April slipped into May and the last threat of frost passed, she began planting them in the garden.

    35

    As they approached, the sound of running water welcomed them.

    36

    As they entered the Indian encampment, hostile black eyes turned to follow them.

    37

    As they watched, three Indians rode around a bend in the gully and passed below them.

    38

    Aside from his solemn expression, there was nothing in the way he acted with the children that might indicate anything was wrong between them.

    39

    Ben, could you start up Quinn's machines and see if maybe you could get them to work?

    40

    Betsy said as I hugged them both.

    41

    Betsy sensed that there was friction between them.

    42

    Between the two of us we ought to be able to carry them down to that room.

    43

    Bordeaux might not want to take them into their home.

    44

    Bordeaux urged the bay after them.

    45

    Bordeaux wasn't like her father, and it wasn't fair to keep comparing them.

    46

    Both of them were surprised to see the blue truck parked in the yard when they returned.

    47

    Both of them, mother and daughter, out walking that bitch dog.

    48

    Brandon should have told them, and when they finally made it to the barn, she said as much.

    49

    Brandon was deliberately ignoring them.

    50

    But I want to be with them.

    51

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

    52

    But it took a good many years for them to grow as large and fine as they are now.

    53

    But that was behind them.

    54

    But the pulling of them apart and pushing them together again was only a sleight-of-hand trick.

    55

    But then, he had made it clear from the start that he didn't want any of them in his life.

    56

    But those tears were pleasant to them both.

    57

    But what made the police seek out the woman and child and drive directly to them?

    58

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

    59

    But you kept trying to take me from them.

    60

    But you've heard from them lots of times.

    61

    Call my husband and Howie Abbott and summon them.

    62

    Carmen brushed them away and returned to her prayer.

    63

    Carmen couldn't make out more than a few words, but one of them was mare.

    64

    Carmen leaned against the nursery window, gazing at them in awe - Alex at her side.

    65

    Carmen set her jaw and challenged them each with a stern look.

    66

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

    67

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

    68

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

    69

    Cassie could feel them all watching her as she settled to the ground.

    70

    Could you get them out?

    71

    Could you possible page them?

    72

    Darcie folded her hands in her lap and stared at them.

    73

    Did he know she had spied on them?

    74

    Did someone give them my license plate number?

    75

    Did you know some of them; the men who did what you did?

    76

    Do you tell all your boyfriends you love them?

    77

    Don't get me wrong; I'm not condoning what we did but there were others who were much worse; sicko guys who really hurt their victims; sometimes killed them.

    78

    Don't insult them by refusing their hospitality.

    79

    Don't pay them any mind.

    80

    Dorothy and Zeb jumped out of the buggy and ran after them, but the Sorcerer remained calmly in his throne.

    81

    Dragging it up again wouldn't do either of them any good.

    82

    Dusty looked around them, gaze settling on the only car on the streets that didn't belong to him and wasn't on blocks.

    83

    Each and every one of them wants to kill us!

    84

    Each day brought them closer to the time he would be riding away permanently.

    85

    Each of them hugged him and talked briefly to Destiny.

    86

    Ed merely looked at them and then back at Carmen.

    87

    Eureka stuck up her nose at such food, but the tiny piglets squealed delightedly at the sight of the crackers and ate them up in a jiffy.

    88

    Even if they did, I can't see them telling him very much.

    89

    Even the police, who see the aftermath of terrible, gut-wrenching crimes, aren't forced to watch them actually happening.

    90

    Everyone at the table was staring at them.

    91

    Finally his big hands left her waist and moved to her shoulders, working out the stiffness in them, and then on to the back of her neck.

    92

    Finally they descended into a low place in the ravine, momentarily putting an outcropping between them and the Indians who waited.

    93

    Flipping a light on, he guided them to a corner and pulled the cloth from a painting.

    94

    For her, losing them was painful enough, but losing a mate - that would be agonizing.

    95

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

    96

    From behind them, Felipa's amused voice teased.

    97

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

    98

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

    99

    Going through the bills on the counter where Connie had promised to leave them, she decided to take them with her.

    100

    Grabbing her clothes and the towel, she took them to the laundry room.

    101

    Had he told them he was going to get her?

    102

    He believed, or at least suspected, that Miss Sullivan and I had deliberately stolen the bright thoughts of another and imposed them on him to win his admiration.

    103

    He bent down and retrieved her shoes, handing them to her.

    104

    He bent over, picked up her clothes and tossed them to her.

    105

    He calmly picked the clothes up and put them back in the drawer.

    106

    He didn't want anything to do with them, so they didn't exist.

    107

    He even keeps in touch with some of them.

    108

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

    109

    He grabbed a handful of her clothes from the suitcase and put them back in the drawer.

    110

    He had killed them in cold blood!

    111

    He had tried his best to push them out of it.

    112

    He led them within another but smaller circle of hedge, where grew one large and beautiful bush.

    113

    He looked through them and then handed them back without comment.

    114

    He only sold them – for money.

    115

    He removed his hand and they moved back against the rock wall of lava that swirled over them.

    116

    He scorned all the rest of us for not holding on to our prizes, as he called them.

    117

    He sensed rather than saw that someone was in it, watching them.

    118

    He shared them with me.

    119

    He should've heard from one of them by now.

    120

    He slowed down beside them and lifted a brow to Adrienne.

    121

    He squinted as he surveyed the black oven surrounding them.

    122

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

    123

    He stayed with them and was shocked when the car left the road, bumping into a secluded copse, frightening the girl.

    124

    He swears he won't leave them behind.

    125

    He took them to his condo on the beach for privacy.

    126

    He towered over them both, the muscles in his arms and shoulders straining against his shirt as he hooked his thumbs in the front pockets of his jeans.

    127

    He tracked dozens of tips and put them together before he announced he was the tipster.

    128

    He was a good-looking intern, but there simply wasn't a spark between them.

    129

    He was sitting at a table across and down from them.

    130

    He was watching them dance.

    131

    He was willing to personally alert the local police and have them check out the vehicle even without clear cut identification.

    132

    He would drive them from place to place as his master wished.

    133

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

    134

    Headlights were backed up as far as the eye could see, waiting impatiently for someone to direct them away from the gridlock.

    135

    Heat waves blurred the dunes around them.

    136

    Her eyes cracked open, and she was startled to see a petite blonde woman in dark jeans standing between them.

    137

    Her father was walking toward them.

    138

    His assessment tore through her mind, digging up memories and laying them bare on the surface.

    139

    His clothing fitted his form snugly and was gorgeously colored in brilliant shades of green, which varied as the sunbeams touched them but was not wholly influenced by the solar rays.

    140

    His father died shortly after Alex was born, so I never met either of them.

    141

    His lips crushed down on hers, bruising them as his fingers dug into her shoulders.

    142

    Horse and rider plunged down the side of the dune toward them.

    143

    How come them soldiers wanted you with them?

    144

    How could he leave them that way?

    145

    How could she answer them without implicating Yancey?

    146

    How long did he think he could hide them - or avoid them, for that matter?

    147

    Howie followed them, muttering he needed a distraction.

    148

    I am a patient person by nature and fully expected to later take them one or two at a time.

    149

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

    150

    I assure you, I have managed to contact all but three and if I located them I would get down on my knees before them and beg forgiveness, just like I've done with the others .

    151

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

    152

    I can see them at the crest of the hill.

    153

    I can see where the local law enforcement people wouldn't be thrilled with these folks looking over their shoulder and pushing them.

    154

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

    155

    I can't imagine them missing her Aunt Rose Abbott's service or at least calling in with their status.

    156

    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.

    157

    I congratulated them both on a great job and terminated the call.

    158

    I could feel tears streaming down my face though I had no recollection of generating them.

    159

    I could find them.

    160

    I did not eat them; but I loved their fragrance and enjoyed hunting for them in the leaves and grass.

    161

    I didn't give them the time of day, except to confirm what you told me on the record.

    162

    I don't know what I mean except I can't stop dreaming of little children, all hurt and bleeding and I don't want to see them because it hurts too much, but I can't block them out!

    163

    I don't mean to insult them.

    164

    I don't think I'm any better than them.

    165

    I don't want them using my phone.

    166

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

    167

    I gathered them in the conference room and filled them in on what Merrill Cooms had told me.

    168

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

    169

    I haven't done anything illegal and it's his opinion I have no legal responsibility to tell them anything I know about you people.

    170

    I heard Quinn say yesterday that flight to Santa Barbara was full so maybe he drove all the way into Los Angeles to pick them up.

    171

    I include them to point out that history is discontinuous.

    172

    I just didn't see any point in spending money on new clothes when my old ones still had a lot of wear in them.

    173

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

    174

    I like to watch them move and listen to them - I even like the way they smell.

    175

    I made the mistake of telling her that parents of two of the girls wanted me here to protect them from thieves and murderers.

    176

    I must have missed them.

    177

    I nodded and filled them in.

    178

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

    179

    I should have been with them tonight.

    180

    I should know; I get almost all of them.

    181

    I staggered back to my room, away from the contented people playing around the pool, not wanting them to see me in tears.

    182

    I strolled up town, hoping to catch them.

    183

    I telephoned their office with the intention of informing them myself.

    184

    I think I've convinced them that you're a trustworthy soul.

    185

    I told Morino last night that I would look at them before we left.

    186

    I told them what you said; they're like hiding out.

    187

    I tried vainly to put them together.

    188

    I want the closeness of having them live with us.

    189

    I was about to call them, it was so late and you hadn't come home.

    190

    I was there when Quinn hid it after Martha locked them out and he had to pry a window.

    191

    I would not have left them out of my will - I could not.

    192

    I'd planned to ask Quinn and Martha to come in so I could tell them what I'd learned but the more I considered it, I decided a phone call was sufficient.

    193

    I'm a little tired of making other people's decisions for them.

    194

    I'm ahead of them!

    195

    I'm not ever going to know them if I never meet them, am I?

    196

    I'm the only human they see most of the time, and I represent no harm to them.

    197

    If any rays missed their bodies, the sand reflected it to them.

    198

    If Brandon hadn't shared his plans with the other girls, it wasn't her place to go blabbing them now.

    199

    If I am unsuccessful there are others who may hold the answers I demand and I now have plans to get them as well.

    200

    If I can slip them, I may be able to help.

    201

    If I hadn't taken time to apply my sleeping solution to the rag, I'd have been in the process of taking them just as that police car with its flashing lights came rolling up!

    202

    If it had been for both of them, they would have invited some of her friends - like Katie and Bill.

    203

    If it were any other man, she might think it was sexual frustration, but Brandon didn't appear to be interested in any of them.

    204

    If someone tries to attack you, just point it at them.

    205

    If we write them down, we could get fired.

    206

    If women weren't attracted to them, maybe men could control themselves.

    207

    If you take them with you, it might give you cover if the Indians attack again.

    208

    If you want me to cook them, you'd better clean them up so they don't look like snakes.

    209

    If you want something different, why don't you trade them in on something else?

    210

    If you want to put them up, go ahead.

    211

    In fact, until the death of her family, she rarely ever dreamed – or at least didn't remember them.

    212

    In fact, why not give them a little show?

    213

    In the center of each plant grew a daintily dressed Mangaboo, for the clothing of all these creatures grew upon them and was attached to their bodies.

    214

    In the First World War, we learned to treat wounds by washing them with a germicide.

    215

    In those last moments when it was too late, she had decided to go with them.

    216

    Instead, Felipa met them at the corral.

    217

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

    218

    Is it because winning the award gives them more confidence?

    219

    It had been several days since I'd spoken to them.

    220

    It is because there is no warm blood in them, remarked the Wizard.

    221

    It is remarkable that we know so much of them as we do.

    222

    It killed me not to use the chance to rub their noses in the fact I beat them to the punch on this!

    223

    It often left them partially paralyzed, in wheelchairs or iron lungs (a term that's now all but forgotten and will likely send younger readers to Wikipedia).

    224

    It suddenly came to mind I hadn't told them Julie was on her way west and Molly was at our house.

    225

    It took them another thirty minutes or so to find the burned out shell of the car.

    226

    It took them over an hour to fill all the canteens.

    227

    It was rude to act this way to hosts who had invited them into their home on such a special occasion.

    228

    It was strange sitting here, talking to a confessed rapist, with the sound of what was probably more of them eating dinner behind me.

    229

    It was too important - to both of them.

    230

    It won't bring them back.

    231

    It would be easier for them to hobble to town with a broken leg than with a broken pantaloon.

    232

    It would be so disappointing for them.

    233

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

    234

    It's difficult out on the road to hide them more than a day or two.

    235

    It's easy to identify specific crimes and follow them up.

    236

    It's far easier to calmly pen the words I said than it was to say them.

    237

    It's unfair to keep them in the dark on this matter.

    238

    It's who bought them.

    239

    Jonathan was watching them intently.

    240

    Jonathan was watching them, his mouth hanging open.

    241

    Julia brushed by them in the hall.

    242

    Just trying to explain them can't do them justice.

    243

    Len was eyeing Yancey's car and didn't see them until they stepped out the door.

    244

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

    245

    Let them all think what they wanted.

    246

    Lisa filled a cup for each of them, but Yancey wasn't interested.

    247

    Lisa glanced up to find Giddon watching them thoughtfully.

    248

    Lisa watched the two of them, sensing that there was something neither of them wanted to mention.

    249

    Lord, she prayed, please don't let them get Chauncey - and then she knew nothing.

    250

    Many are the travellers I have spoken concerning them, describing their tracks and what calls they answered to.

    251

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

    252

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

    253

    Maybe friends didn't let friends drive drunk, but how did they stop them when there were so many?

    254

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

    255

    Maybe I can remedy some of them of the ills.

    256

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

    257

    Maybe it was good for them - I don't know, but I don't think it's going to be good for you - or Alex.

    258

    Maybe Pete and the guys had reached Ashley by now and a rescue mission was already under way to get them.

    259

    Maybe this vacation would give them some much needed time together.

    260

    Maybe we would have felt this way with them if things had been different.

    261

    Men get ideas when their wives are at home trying to be everything a man expects of them.

    262

    Molly will find out, someone, this monster that's killing all these people; he'll find someone and force them tell.

    263

    Mr. Rinehart regarded them both with obvious confusion.

    264

    Mrs. Marsh's face was white, and her eyes red and swollen, with dark circles under them.

    265

    Much as she enjoyed watching them eat crow for desert, she knew their shame would be forgotten by suppertime.

    266

    My dog scared them away.

    267

    My mind jingled with questions of recidivism of his souls, the operation he'd alleged to have personally endured and if others had followed suit, or, if he encouraged them to do so.

    268

    Neither of them had been in high spirits yesterday.

    269

    Neither of them is working today, and I'm sure they'd be delighted to join you.

    270

    Neither of them was looking for a mate.

    271

    Next I telephoned After to update them on Mr. Delabama's Canadian adventures.

    272

    No more searching for frozen half-tires in the snow and stomping the water out of them.

    273

    No, Pete spotted them afore they saw us, so we got away.

    274

    None had time to grab the weapons under their cots before gunfire exploded through the garage door and slammed into them.

    275

    Nor would most authorities offer any help in a search to find the source of their tips when they were forced to admit to them.

    276

    Not letting the abbe and Pierre escape, Anna Pavlovna, the more conveniently to keep them under observation, brought them into the larger circle.

    277

    Now his girlfriend had caught them together.

    278

    Now I've practically brought them into the fold.

    279

    Now that they were all together, it would be a good time to tell them.

    280

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

    281

    Old shoes will serve a hero longer than they have served his valet--if a hero ever has a valet--bare feet are older than shoes, and he can make them do.

    282

    On the other hand, if he lost them, she would be sharing the loss of lifestyle.

    283

    On the way back to the house, Alex offered to take them to the gulf for a family outing.

    284

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

    285

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

    286

    One of them might have even been responsible for Annie's murder.

    287

    Our group conducted only three cases as we now called them and none were noteworthy.

    288

    Outside, she stood on the porch a few minutes, studying the mountains around them.

    289

    People are starting to wonder if you don't like them.

    290

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

    291

    People gathered around them to ask questions.

    292

    People passing between them were a blur.

    293

    Pete and Royce joined them, their eyes lighting up when they saw the flapjacks.

    294

    Pete walked back to her, signaling to the other men to join them.

    295

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

    296

    Quinn, Martha and especially Betsy looked perturbed at me for not updating them on my tete-a-tete with Howie but that could wait.

    297

    Ridges of sparkling white sand surrounded the camp like a sleeping dragon, soaking heat from the sun - resting now so it could spit its fiery breath at them later in the day.

    298

    Sarah made an excuse of putting Tammy down for a nap and left them alone.

    299

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

    300

    Schell regards sensors largely in terms of gameplay—but for our purposes, think of them passively logging your life.

    301

    Send them both out!

    302

    Señor Medena said goodbye to them at the house, but Alondra and Felipa rode with them in the Limousine to the airport.

    303

    Shall I simply kill them all to be sure?

    304

    She and Claire are probably still in the air somewhere or Quinn hasn't hooked up with them yet.

    305

    She bit her lips to keep them from quivering and blinked her eyes to get rid of the blur.

    306

    She changed and took the shears, hiding them against her body as she approached the door.

    307

    She dashed them away with the back of her hand.

    308

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

    309

    She fed them and gathered the few eggs they had laid after she gathered them yesterday.

    310

    She felt his body heat from the short distance between them and recognized his scent from the sheets.

    311

    She finally opted to let them have their private moment.

    312

    She grabbed a handful of clothes from the drawer and threw them into the suitcase.

    313

    She greeted them with a big smile, hugging each of them as if they were old friends she hadn't seen in a decade.

    314

    She had been a fool to think there was anything between them.

    315

    She had probably resurrected his memory of how Lori had tried to break them up.

    316

    She had to go back to get them.

    317

    She handed them to Howard, who watched her face with a puzzled expression.

    318

    She kissed and hugged her daughter until I thought I'd have to pull them apart, but finally left in Howie's car for Boston and her flight.

    319

    She made no effort to catch them, letting them fall at her feet.

    320

    She must not have twisted one of the locks, even though she'd checked them all twice.

    321

    She nudged them closer to him with the toe of her boot.

    322

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

    323

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

    324

    She rolled the pieces of meat in flour and fried them.

    325

    She scooped the tomatoes into her hands and poured them into a bowl.

    326

    She shuddered, wishing he was with them.

    327

    She silently folded them and put them in the suitcase while he watched.

    328

    She slid down the rock and joined them, casting a sour look at Bordeaux as she brushed by him.

    329

    She smiled as she reached them.

    330

    She stared up at Bordeaux, whose attention was focused on the rock above them.

    331

    She told our neighbor Mildred she'd done something she regretted 'cause now she really liked this guy and thought maybe she'd messed things up between them.

    332

    She was spoiling the men, but her decision to start home from Ashley was going to leave them in the lurch.

    333

    She was unable to pin him down on the cases of ours she'd documented earlier but he practically admitted he was personally responsible for all them and more.

    334

    She wasn't going to let them all make her feel guilty.

    335

    She watched them talk for a few minutes.

    336

    Should she ask him about putting them up?

    337

    Should she hug them?

    338

    Silence escorted them to the house.

    339

    Silence fell between them and then he finally spoke.

    340

    Since they all lived in the same apartment complex, and the evening was early, Adrienne invited them to her apartment for a cup of coffee.

    341

    So don't take it out on them.

    342

    So he followed the Prince into the great domed hall, and Dorothy and Zeb came after them, while the throng of people trooped in also.

    343

    So the party was actually for him, not both of them.

    344

    Sobering, Cynthia addressed them.

    345

    Some of them thought that "Home" was a good subject.

    346

    Somehow it seemed contrary to his character - any of them.

    347

    Someone was walking down the hall toward them.

    348

    Something had to be done before he got them both killed.

    349

    Sometimes he even did it when there was a room full of people between them.

    350

    Still, hiding from them wasn't going to solve anything - especially for his sisters.

    351

    Still, leaving them wasn't going to be easy for her either.

    352

    Still, neither of them could afford to move out right now, so their relationship would have to remain a secret.

    353

    Tell me where you have them!

    354

    Thankfully, he'd spotted my family and given them a ride home!

    355

    That was probably why Bordeaux had instructed each of them to take a separate direction.

    356

    That was the end of the conversation and neither of them brought the subject up again that night.

    357

    That was the last thing she remembered until she opened her eyes again and found all three of them hanging over her.

    358

    That was the scientist in Quinn, frustrated that within grasp he held the partnered ability with Howie to go where no one before them had ventured.

    359

    The adults ignored them, grazing contentedly on the deep grass.

    360

    The apartment door opened and Rachel stared out at them.

    361

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

    362

    The bay's ears were perked toward the wash below them.

    363

    The boxes were heavy, so carrying two of them was too much weight to handle.

    364

    The cliff and surrounding mountains were now behind them.

    365

    The desert and lava fields behind them, they made good time.

    366

    The driver took them to a Spanish design home a few miles from the hacienda.

    367

    The files had been there all along and he had given her passwords and permission to look at them since they were first married.

    368

    The four of them followed Felipa upstairs.

    369

    The going back business; finding missing kids; sometimes seeing them hurt.

    370

    The heat settled around them like a hot breath.

    371

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

    372

    The idea of making love in a strange bedroom was disturbing enough, but with only a door between them and the children, locked or not, it didn't feel right.

    373

    The Indians were attacking them.

    374

    The landscape around them was bleak, almost as devoid of plant life as the white sands had been.

    375

    The little car pulled out in front of them.

    376

    The little man felt carefully in his pocket and pulled out the tiny piglets, setting them upon the grass one by one, where they ran around and nibbled the tender blades.

    377

    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.

    378

    The old man and child were playing checkers in the comfortable den when a housekeeper called them to dinner.

    379

    The police sometimes don't even hear the entire tip... just enough to lead them in the right direction, and find the person.

    380

    The rest of the teamsters joined them and they all waited in silence as the horses approached and drew to an organized halt.

    381

    The roof beside them had a great hole smashed through it, and pieces of glass were lying scattered in every direction.

    382

    The sand lay white around them like a blanket of snow.

    383

    The shear lust in them left her wishing he had looked elsewhere.

    384

    The shepherd and his dog could not keep them together.

    385

    The shepherd soon lost sight of them in the darkness.

    386

    The shock of what happened gave way to fury as Felipa turned back to them.

    387

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

    388

    The storm kicked up dust behind them, but they managed to beat it to the corral.

    389

    The sudden rush into space confused them so that they could not think.

    390

    The sun turned the dunes orange red and then quickly sank, leaving them in pre-moon darkness.

    391

    The three of them walked abreast along a narrow road consisting of no more than two bare strips of dirt in the grass.

    392

    The top of the buggy caught the air like a parachute or an umbrella filled with wind, and held them back so that they floated downward with a gentle motion that was not so very disagreeable to bear.

    393

    The towels on the towel rack appeared to have their creases ironed into them.

    394

    The white sand reflected the hot sun back at them until they were dripping with perspiration.

    395

    The wildlife had probably taken care of them.

    396

    The worst thing was their terror of reaching the bottom of this great crack in the earth, and the natural fear that sudden death was about to overtake them at any moment.

    397

    Their house was lonely, and a little scary without them.

    398

    Then a woman in the background said something about them all moving to this keen town and the woman on the phone laughed, like it was a joke.

    399

    Then again, maybe he figured she wouldn't understand them if she did look.

    400

    Then all three of them laughed heartily.

    401

    Then she added, "Julie practically begged me to bring Molly out there and help the both of them to get back home, whatever it takes to do so."

    402

    Then the boy picked up the reins, shook them, and said "Gid-dap!"

    403

    Then they would have to hitch them back up again.

    404

    Then what shall I do with them, my dear?

    405

    Then who is supposed to feed them?

    406

    Then, when we have kids, Mom could watch them.

    407

    There are lots of them.

    408

    There are probably a half dozen of them waiting out there in the grass.

    409

    There are some curtains and rugs in the attic - I'm sure you've already found them.

    410

    There had been an instant bond between them from the day they met.

    411

    There had been two cancellations on a flight and Alex grabbed them.

    412

    There is a marked similarity to them.

    413

    There is on one to connect me to New Hampshire though this little group who thought they were so clever hiding in that silly business in Keene might suspect that the one they hunted is now hunting them!

    414

    There was no point in telling them that riding with Bordeaux hadn't been her idea.

    415

    There were a half dozen messages from both Julie and Howie from California but in view of our frenzied day, decided to let them simmer until after a much relished glass or two of wine and Molly's carefully grilled hot dogs and cheese bread.

    416

    There were sparks between them from the start.

    417

    There's a bunch of run away kids; I could try to pick the most likely but none of them look promising.

    418

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

    419

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

    420

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

    421

    They emptied all the water into four canteens and took four empty ones with them.

    422

    They had to move forward, and leave the past behind them.

    423

    They leave them for breeding purposes.

    424

    They made bunches of them.

    425

    They might have considered her an innocent bystander in her relationship with Allen, but being on the sideline again would, at minimum, make them suspicious.

    426

    They put her through college and it was her intent to stay with them as long as they needed her.

    427

    They selected the most valuable food items and buried them.

    428

    They showed no indication of giving them any privacy.

    429

    They still have them, or the big box stores.

    430

    They think they are anonymous on the web but I can trace them all.

    431

    They were depending on her and she wasn't going to let them down.

    432

    They were having so much fun that even Alondra broke down and joined them.

    433

    They were several miles down the road before either of them spoke.

    434

    This was a very interesting experience to them.

    435

    This was one of them.

    436

    Through Brennan's subtle urging, the authorities, ultimate recipients of our tips, were learning to deny them outright or down playing their importance.

    437

    Tossing the two of them into the same thought brought out the contrast.

    438

    Ultimately it had cost them a child and her ability to have more.

    439

    Unfortunately I couldn't tell them about the break in at Julie's place without it adversely impacting our anonymity.

    440

    Unless he was planning on getting them!

    441

    Unsure what to do with her hands, she rested them on his arms.

    442

    Using the extra sand, they made fortifications and bedded down for the night behind them.

    443

    Was it another attempt to humiliate them - her?

    444

    Was there one of them in particular you think might have been responsible for Annie's murder?

    445

    Was your horse following them?

    446

    Watching the two of them, it was all she could do to control her own tears... especially knowing that this was at least partly her fault.

    447

    We also went nutting, and I helped them open the chestnut burrs and break the shells of hickory-nuts and walnuts--the big, sweet walnuts!

    448

    We can't expect them to make an exception for us.

    449

    We don't even see them!

    450

    We hacked open a can of baked beans with a screwdriver and ate them cold.

    451

    We never saw them.

    452

    We wouldn't want them to think we were doing anything immoral.

    453

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

    454

    We'll take care of them together.

    455

    We're with them right now.

    456

    Were her feelings for Cade so obvious that he had detected them?

    457

    Were it not for the ranch, she might even feel happy for them.

    458

    What could you give them here that you couldn't give them at home?

    459

    What makes you think I found them?

    460

    What was it about them that drew her too them?

    461

    When her attention returned to the others, she caught Señor Medena and Felipa watching them.

    462

    When I know them.

    463

    When Julie & Rachel returned, she told them that Brandon would be out at the ranch for a while.

    464

    When Julie and I get back, I'll move them both into my house.

    465

    When the troops finally returned, a pall of disappointment hung over them like a shroud.

    466

    When they were all together he addressed them soberly.

    467

    When you bring the babies home, can I come stay with you for a while and help take care of them?

    468

    When you went up to visit his parents, how much time did you spend with them, and how much time did you spend on the ranch?

    469

    When you're riding an ATV you can cover more territory, and the animals have grown used to the sound of them.

    470

    Where do we do list them?

    471

    Wherever Bordeaux was, he was probably more comfortable than the rest of them.

    472

    While I followed them shopping I never imagined I'd be allotted the opportunity accomplish a daring strike so successfully and leave without a trace!

    473

    While I hadn't given Quinn and Howie enough time to accomplish much, I called them anyway.

    474

    While the band was on break, Eduardo entertained them with some Spanish guitar.

    475

    While the killer's intentions were unknown, we knew Howie thwarted them both to their death.

    476

    Who made them serfs of the soil?

    477

    Why don't the guys you pass them to get them themselves?

    478

    Why had he hidden them - and why had he decided to reveal them?

    479

    Why not let them live?

    480

    Why would he be upset with Mary for paying them a visit?

    481

    With that, she left them alone.

    482

    With this he caught up two of the piglets and pushed them together, so that the two were one.

    483

    Within a few minutes Fritz and Davis also joined them.

    484

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

    485

    Words and images came tripping to my finger ends, and as I thought out sentence after sentence, I wrote them on my braille slate.

    486

    Would god take Destiny from them - a trade for the twins?

    487

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

    488

    Yes it was Indians and he was following them.

    489

    Yes, to take them away.

    490

    Yes; there was land below them; and not so very far away, either.

    491

    Yet it was a short period of time for so much to have happened to them.

    492

    You better not tell either of them just yet.

    493

    You can bet by now, he's dumped them.

    494

    You reckon them Injuns knew we was around?

    495

    You teach them to respect people.

    496

    You want to lend me them glasses, Bordeaux?

    497

    You'll feed them and everything?

    498

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

    499

    You're thankful for any and all tips and investigate them regardless of source.

    500

    You're the third person who wanted them.
