Two in A Sentence

    1

    A few Naturals were found every year, and he didn't bother to remember their names in an organization his size, leaving that level of detail to his most trusted men, the two regional commanders, and dozens of sector commanders worldwide.

    2

    A lot can happen in two blocks, you know.

    3

    A small round table and two chairs were placed in a corner near the doorway to the family room, providing a view of the fireplace.

    4

    A space like a street was left between each two lines of troops.

    5

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

    6

    Acting Sheriff Fitzgerald was slipping two one-pint bottles of vodka into a paper bag as Dean was about to open the door.

    7

    After a brief description of the campaign and the two battles in which he had taken part, and his promotion, Nicholas said that he kissed his father's and mother's hands asking for their blessing, and that he kissed Vera, Natasha, and Petya.

    8

    After a great deal of tinkering and trying, they did succeed in making two paddle wheels.

    9

    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.

    10

    Alder's Bridge was re-named Brockville, after the first soldier fatality of World War Two!

    11

    All were mellowing on two bottles of cognac Paul Dawkins provided, in smiling celebration of some event known only to him and Paulette.

    12

    All were then more confident of victory than the winning of two battles would have made them.

    13

    Amid boxes, lamps, and glassware of every description sat the old man, atop a trunk, snuggled between the two maiden ladies from Indiana.

    14

    Anatole brought two candles and placed them on the window sill, though it was already quite light.

    15

    And the two friends told each other of their doings, the one of his hussar revels and life in the fighting line, the other of the pleasures and advantages of service under members of the Imperial family.

    16

    Are we just two guys talking?

    17

    As he pulled on the last of his clothes and crossed to his armory, a small, black velvet box nestled between two daggers drew his attention.

    18

    As his adopted brothers in the war against evil, the two of them were his equals.

    19

    As she hopped the short distance from rocks to the ground leading up to the compound, she caught the silhouettes of two men against the cloudy sky.

    20

    As she passed a neighbor boy, he waved at her, his two missing front teeth displayed in a sweet smile.

    21

    As soon as the two left, I turned to Betsy.

    22

    As the decision deadlocked at two each, I turned to Howie.

    23

    As Two gazed at Damian, another flash of images driving him to his knees.

    24

    At dawn on the sixteenth of November, Denisov's squadron, in which Nicholas Rostov served and which was in Prince Bagration's detachment, moved from the place where it had spent the night, advancing into action as arranged, and after going behind other columns for about two thirds of a mile was stopped on the highroad.

    25

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

    26

    Bagration knew that as the distance between the two flanks was more than six miles, even if the messenger were not killed (which he very likely would be), and found the commander-in-chief (which would be very difficult), he would not be able to get back before evening.

    27

    Betsy lined up two likely abductions and she was anxious to get started, Quinn had already performed his part, setting his apparatus appropriately for a rural Iowa location where a twelve year old boy had gone missing.

    28

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

    29

    Bianca jogged after the two, who raced towards a small crowd at the opened gate of the compound.

    30

    Both their gazes returned to the two figures talking quietly in front of their father's grave.

    31

    Brandon gave the car more gas and it straightened up, darting between the two vehicles.

    32

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

    33

    Bumpus sat near the two, acting like a protector and getting free hand pats for his reward.

    34

    Bumpus sensed a walk and joined the two.

    35

    But at that very instant a cloud of smoke spread all round, firing was heard quite close at hand, and a voice of naive terror barely two steps from Prince Andrew shouted, Brothers!

    36

    But it's at least a two hour drive to Boston.

    37

    But picture Ben and Betsy, two city dwellers, neither owning a car.

    38

    But then, hadn't she already done so when he tried to kiss her at the sink two weeks ago?

    39

    But two thousand innocent people, down to the family dog.

    40

    But what we do with our time after work is strictly between the two of us.

    41

    Can you hold things down for two weeks?

    42

    Casually, while surveying the squadron, the Emperor's eyes met Rostov's and rested on them for not more than two seconds.

    43

    Congrats. You've survived two days.

    44

    Consider two examples of this.

    45

    Cynthia thought a second or two, careful with her answer.

    46

    Damian glanced at the new text message from Han before his gaze returned to the small base camp tucked between two ridges in the Tucson Mountains.

    47

    Damian was the strongest man Two had ever met.

    48

    Damian waved to show he'd heard and then took the stairs two at a time to his room.

    49

    Damian's silver-white hair was braided down his back, his thick body causing him to sink two inches into the mud.

    50

    Darkyn did two things that she almost agreed with.

    51

    Darkyn's daughter appeared frail and gaunt, her skin a shade or two darker than the white pillow beneath her head.

    52

    David Dean, without a remote control, had difficulty with the TV and these two old fogies were out surfing the net like a couple of Silicon Valley youngsters.

    53

    Dean had trouble remembering who was who but all were of like mind in their affection for the old man who turned up the charm meter a notch or two.

    54

    Dean looked down at the two holes in his belt, now rendered unusable.

    55

    Deidre laughed at the exchange, sensing a quasi-friendship as old as the two arguing.

    56

    Deidre looked around, struck by how different the place she lived for two years felt.

    57

    Deidre looked over her shoulder at the reflection in the mirror displaying the two markings on her back.

    58

    Despite being able to bench press two of her, the men actually listened.

    59

    Dolokhov who was in the midst of the crowd forced his way to the edge of the dam, throwing two soldiers off their feet, and ran onto the slippery ice that covered the millpool.

    60

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

    61

    Even Pumpkin Green, the trekking philosopher, tossed in his two cents.

    62

    Finding another Dawkins in one of Ouray's dozen or two lodging places shouldn't be much trouble for an ace detective-almost sheriff.

    63

    Fine. I can hardly wait to get elected so I can get rid of those two winners you hired before you bailed out.

    64

    Following a long drive that consisted of little more than two ruts worn by vehicle tires, they came to the Marsh ranch.

    65

    For two hundred years the mountain has attracted visitors from miles away.

    66

    Fortunately, after a week or two, the public grew bored with the subject and it slipped away like a bear in winter.

    67

    Four of us, sans Martha, shared a bottle of bourbon with Quinn drinking two for each of ours.

    68

    Fourteen left - two of those wounded.

    69

    Gabriel awaited her on the beach near where they'd first sat together two weeks before.

    70

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

    71

    Han stayed with her, not moving until two Guardians—a raven-haired man with a quick smile and a brooding blond—approached.

    72

    Haven't you been through enough danger in the past two weeks?

    73

    He agreed to keep our conversation limited to the two of us and is willing to listen to you.

    74

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

    75

    He blocked it and the next two blows and then snatched a fist headed for his face, twisted her arm, and spun her.

    76

    He decided to move on to problem number two and find out something about the tiny bone he'd discovered.

    77

    He did so, and then pointed out the location of where he'd seen people, cars, the two horses and the wagon.

    78

    He doesn't need two nannies does he?

    79

    He ducked into a doorway while Damian shot two more vamps and reappeared, the blueprints on the screen.

    80

    He dug in his pocket and produced two keys on their original ring.

    81

    He has the two I think.

    82

    He insists you two be with us before we move forward.

    83

    He knew as much and was as grateful for the two men before him as he was at finding his brother again.

    84

    He lifted her chin with two fingers, and the expression on his face might have been amusing under different circumstances.

    85

    He looked down as two of his Guardians hopped up from their positions.

    86

    He quickly agreed and the two strolled, for the first time since Christmas, to St. Daniel's Catholic Church, a few blocks away.

    87

    He saw over the mist that in a hollow between two hills near the village of Pratzen, the Russian columns, their bayonets glittering, were moving continuously in one direction toward the valley and disappearing one after another into the mist.

    88

    He slammed the mug on the table and stood, crossing the distance between them in two long strides.

    89

    He sliced through two vamps before shooting the other two in the small courtyard.

    90

    He strode down the hallway to his office, his two adopted brothers following.

    91

    He threw the canteen and it hit Two's cheek.

    92

    He took her arm with one of the hands that had explored every part of her body not two weeks before.

    93

    He trusted Sofia to either of the two men before him and knew Dusty was the more likely of the two to shoot first and ask questions later if she was threatened.

    94

    He was accompanied by Dustin and two other men, one she knew as Sasha, a man who'd struck her with his devotedness to his family, and Levi, a man who'd been present in many of his pre-Schism memories.

    95

    He was slightly flushed after galloping two miles, and reining in his horse he sighed restfully and looked round at the faces of his suite, young and animated as his own.

    96

    He whipped out the vamp-killing hand cannons and shot the first two of Jilian's men.

    97

    He will be forever stuck between the two worlds, the good and the evil, without entering either or leaving either behind.

    98

    He, too, could visualize the two young people headed for wedded bliss, a six-pack between them.

    99

    He'd been alone since, except for his two adopted brothers.

    100

    He's been stalking us all the way from New Hampshire where he killed two friends of ours.

    101

    He's got two boys that... well, calling them a handful would be an understatement.

    102

    Her daughter is secure in the sealed room beneath the barn so it is only the two of us in my cabin.

    103

    Her two canines were larger than before and gave her the appearance of a vampire.

    104

    Her words fueled the sense of dread he'd felt the past two weeks, since he'd lost contact with his closest friends.

    105

    His golden eyes blazed like two candles.

    106

    His replacement early morning audience consisted of two old ladies from Indiana who'd just checked in, Pumpkin Green, and Paulette Dawkins.

    107

    His woman laughed huskily and approached Two naked.

    108

    How did you two meet?

    109

    How do I know the two matters aren't tied together unless I poke a bit?

    110

    However, what did I discover but the child at the sink alone and the doors to two stalls closed!

    111

    Howie can't drive two blocks out here without getting lost.

    112

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

    113

    Howie's first two sessions were failures.

    114

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

    115

    I called an historical society, or two.

    116

    I can get each of you two sets of ID, birth certificate, passport, driver's license, charge cards and a brief history that will check out.

    117

    I didn't mix the two.

    118

    I don't remember the last three numbers but the first two were forty-five.

    119

    I dug in a tub of iced beer and Quinn and I toasted the two cans as we sat back on Adirondack chairs to enjoy the late afternoon.

    120

    I expect my equipment here in the next hour or two and we'll get going.

    121

    I gather you two aren't the best of friends?

    122

    I had no stomach to involve myself in the love relationship of these two.

    123

    I have an adored, a priceless mother, and two or three friends--you among them--and as for the rest I only care about them in so far as they are harmful or useful.

    124

    I have three eyes instead of two?

    125

    I haven't been able to get you out of my cube for the past two weeks.

    126

    I hope you two are happy together.

    127

    I just happen to have two tickets.

    128

    I just stood there for a moment or two, taking it all in.

    129

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

    130

    I mean, you did visit her the night before, and I thought maybe you two were...

    131

    I might have pulled your leg a time or two, but we've got along pretty good over the years keeping stuff to ourselves.

    132

    I must have two hundred pots here on Friday.

    133

    I picked it up in a garage sale, for two dollars—with a bike tire patch kit tossed in.

    134

    I sometimes try my acquaintances by such tests as this--Who could wear a patch, or two extra seams only, over the knee?

    135

    I thought you two were getting married.

    136

    I want two things.

    137

    I was a normal human two weeks ago.

    138

    I was anxious to hear about the meeting between the two women but I didn't want to ask in front of the child.

    139

    I was buttonholed by two middle-aged men who alternated telling me their life story.

    140

    I worked with him for two years before I discovered who he really was.

    141

    I'd assumed any connection between the two was incidental.

    142

    I'll be in town in a day or two.

    143

    I'll owe you two.

    144

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

    145

    I'm hoping that's Jerry, and I don't want him to hear you two fighting in the background.

    146

    I'm not sure who started that story, but it floated around here for my last two years of high school.

    147

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

    148

    I've been living in the same apartment with you for two years.

    149

    I've gone two days without serious consequence.

    150

    If her powers grow enough, she'll not only prevent us from stitching up the tear between realms, but she'll open the doorway between the two worlds.

    151

    If she could only reach him … She faced Two, the only thing between her and escape.

    152

    If the Indians were renegades, surely they wouldn't want to take the time to track only two people - not with the cavalry on their trail.

    153

    In fact, she had spent the last two weeks wallowing in self-pity.

    154

    In response to Molly's questions about covered bridges, we drove through two more in the area for her pleasure.

    155

    In route, he pulled into a fast food drive-through and ordered two hamburger meals.

    156

    In the distance and getting closer I heard the sound of police sirens and in minutes two cruisers pulled into the driveway.

    157

    In the past two centuries with very little technology, we've come from whale oil and wood to solar and nuclear.

    158

    In two days your deal with Past-Death is up.

    159

    It began with a glance as we passed each other the first time, a smile the next two or three laps, and then a pretend rest stop.

    160

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

    161

    It held breakfast for two, and he racked his mind for who the other was.

    162

    It housed two beds and two sets of drawers and was connected to a shared bathroom by a closed door.

    163

    It leaves us with two, plus Sector HQ.

    164

    It takes two of us and an electronic apparatus to create the dream-like trance that lets one of us see episodes from the past.

    165

    It took us two hours to come ten miles from the airport and Julie had to direct him the last mile and she just got here herself.

    166

    It was a closely written letter of two sheets from Bilibin.

    167

    It was a silver coin, warmed by his skin, with a circle of cuneiform symbols surrounding a star with two arrows.

    168

    It was a time of great tumult, and the gateway between the two realms was sealed away for eternity, he explained.

    169

    It was after nine before the two had time to talk, and come to some sort of peaceful understanding.

    170

    It was going to be nice having nothing to do but enjoy their little family for the next two weeks.

    171

    It was growing dark and the glow of two conflagrations was the more conspicuous.

    172

    It was Napoleon accompanied by two aides-de-camp.

    173

    It was ridiculous to live in a 3-bedroom apartment and only use two bedrooms.

    174

    It was the first real words the two had exchanged since their meeting at the mine.

    175

    It was two in the morning and I knew Howie was exhausted.

    176

    It'll be another two weeks before I'll feel comfortable imaging her uterus to see the fetus.

    177

    It's a big city and a long time ago but he saw the White House and said he watched Lincoln eat with two men.

    178

    It's been going on for two weeks, and it's getting worse.

    179

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

    180

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

    181

    It's just that... well, it isn't right for two people who aren't...

    182

    It's now two o'clock and you dine at four.

    183

    It's only two blocks, and it gives me a chance to wake up.

    184

    It's still two months away, though.

    185

    Jake cleaved in two by a maniacal man with a sword.

    186

    Jule could've broken her in two and hadn't.

    187

    Jule's throat tightened as he listened to the two of them spar verbally.

    188

    Just have two instead of four and you'll save half the calories.

    189

    Just the three of us are in residence, soon to be two.

    190

    Kids think their parents should work two jobs to pay for their college education.

    191

    Let's hope he doesn't figure you can't go back more than a day or two.

    192

    Linda returned with two hotdogs and handed one to each of them.

    193

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

    194

    Maybe I can get a friend or two to put a bug in his ear to back off.

    195

    Maybe it would be wise to separate the two at times.

    196

    Maybe she'll learn a thing or two about being human.

    197

    Maybe two, if you please me again.

    198

    Most of the store fronts were boarded up and a fifty foot blackened gap separated the two largest structures.

    199

    Nearly two weeks had passed since the killing.

    200

    Next day, the third of March, soon after one o'clock, two hundred and fifty members of the English Club and fifty guests were awaiting the guest of honor and hero of the Austrian campaign, Prince Bagration, to dinner.

    201

    Next to the opening was a blackened fire ring with two large boulders on either side.

    202

    No one else connected the two murders because they were so sure I did the first one.

    203

    None of them are five star accommodations but two are fairly comfortable.

    204

    Now my two treasures are secure behind me as I'm off to my wooded sanctuary.

    205

    Of course, he chose two of the most selfish people she knew.

    206

    Of course, if you think it would be too much work... you'll only have two weeks.

    207

    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.

    208

    Of the two, Dusty was more likely to call him to the floor when he crossed into his business.

    209

    Of two patterns which differ only by a few threads more or less of a particular color, the one will be sold readily, the other lie on the shelf, though it frequently happens that after the lapse of a season the latter becomes the most fashionable.

    210

    On his right sat the Italian abbe whom Pierre had met at Anna Pavlovna's two years before.

    211

    On the eighteenth and nineteenth of November, the army advanced two days' march and the enemy's outposts after a brief interchange of shots retreated.

    212

    On the previous Sunday the old count had given his son two thousand rubles, and though he always disliked speaking of money difficulties had told Nicholas that this was all he could let him have till May, and asked him to be more economical this time.

    213

    On the seat opposite me sat my big rag doll, Nancy, in a new gingham dress and a beruffled sunbonnet, looking at me out of two bead eyes.

    214

    On the twelfth of November, Kutuzov's active army, in camp before Olmutz, was preparing to be reviewed next day by the two Emperors--the Russian and the Austrian.

    215

    On two sides black curling clouds of smoke rose and spread from the fires.

    216

    One and a half or two if you leave the wagons - and leave tonight.

    217

    Only the first two numbers, 'cause it was my age.

    218

    Only two forms and a body draped in black remained on the cliff side.

    219

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

    220

    Peabody was two hundred and thirty miles and we arrived at our destination a little after eleven on Friday night, after nearly six hours of steady traffic.

    221

    Pierre gripped each of their arms and led them toward two black Tahoes.

    222

    Puzzled, she concentrated on two more sources of magic.

    223

    Quinn is our age but he jumped two school grades on academic excellence.

    224

    Rainy, a brooding Guardian with striking green eyes and a shock of dark hair, was his youngest station chief at a youthful two thousand years old.

    225

    Returning from his journey through South Russia in the happiest state of mind, Pierre carried out an intention he had long had of visiting his friend Bolkonski, whom he had not seen for two years.

    226

    Returning, he tossed two rabbits to her.

    227

    Romantic setting for two former lovers.

    228

    Rostov spurred his horse, called to Sergeant Fedchenko and two other hussars, told them to follow him, and trotted downhill in the direction from which the shouting came.

    229

    Rostov was talking merrily to his two friends, one of whom was a dashing hussar and the other a notorious duelist and rake, and every now and then he glanced ironically at Pierre, whose preoccupied, absent-minded, and massive figure was a very noticeable one at the dinner.

    230

    Sasha and Levi are two of my most trusted advisors.

    231

    Say you have two countries in the world.

    232

    Seizing control of himself, Two stepped forward and pushed her back, binding her to the table again.

    233

    Selyn peeked out from the two inches she'd opened the door, her dark eyes identical to her father's.

    234

    She almost told him that – of the two of them – she was the one with nothing to fear from Darkyn.

    235

    She approached Two hesitantly.

    236

    She closed her eyes against the sunlight and took another two steps into the garden.

    237

    She couldn't help wondering about the two of them and why she felt suddenly jealous, even though Jenn could give Dusty something she wasn't willing to.

    238

    She didn't recognize the two men before her, but they were dressed much like the two death dealers that tried to turn her over to Harmony in her old apartment.

    239

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

    240

    She gripped the armrest as he passed two cars at a time.

    241

    She had greeted ten men and two women before she felt the first flash of cold.

    242

    She hurried from between the two warring factions and hugged her.

    243

    She left the room assigned her by Jonny, two doors down from his in his private wing.

    244

    She let herself think what she'd do, if she had the choice between the two.

    245

    She looked healthier and happier than during their last two encounters, and Linda had let it slip that she and Rainy were talking again.

    246

    She managed to make two 1-day trips to the ranch and Brandon came down to watch her graduate.

    247

    She must have two footmen behind her carriage, and very big ones.

    248

    She opened the stairwell door and hurried down the stairs two floors then darted into a hallway to the elevator.

    249

    She peered through her eyelashes at two armed men stopped in front of her.

    250

    She raised her eyes, and two steps away saw Anatole embracing the Frenchwoman and whispering something to her.

    251

    She sat on one of two fold-out chairs in the concrete room, legs crossed and hands in her lap.

    252

    She squinted, realizing the two furry brown monsters were men in costumes from Where the Wild Things Are.

    253

    She still bore the bruises from upsetting him two days ago.

    254

    She turned twenty-four two months ago and started having all these issues, like she's a vamp.

    255

    She was driven back against Two, who caught her.

    256

    She was never quite sure how to respond to Martha's candor though the two continued to be best of friends.

    257

    She was the middle of two sisters, but Mom fussed over their baby brother.

    258

    She went there for two summers, until she began turning everything she touched into something else, and her father was forced to pull her out of school at the age of twelve.

    259

    She wondered how many more there would be and doubted she'd last more than another day or two if he kept draining her blood.

    260

    She'd been quiet for a day or two, going everywhere with him, a companion in his head who was beyond the touch of his angry master.

    261

    She'd located two promising missing children cases from the past forty-eight hours.

    262

    She'd said not a word for the two hour ride to my castle in the sky.

    263

    She'd shot two men with it.

    264

    Shut up; I told you not to interrupt... anyway, the damn thing went too fast for the old folks... over two miles an hour, I guess.

    265

    Signs of the party the night before still remained, from the garbage bags awaiting pickup to one table with two wine glasses still present.

    266

    So a week or two later, I asked him out... dinner at my place.

    267

    So she called her two sons.

    268

    So why didn't you bring up the other two?

    269

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

    270

    Sofia followed him as the halls angled up and narrowed until Two had to walk through them sideways.

    271

    Some twenty men were gathered round a table at which Dolokhov sat between two candles.

    272

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

    273

    Something's been troubling Martha for the past two weeks.

    274

    Sometimes I stood between two persons who were conversing and touched their lips.

    275

    Switching the bones and killing him in the first place are two different acts—forty years apart.

    276

    Taking two prizes is a challenge but the ultimate reward will be worth the aggravation!

    277

    That was two for one night at McGinchy's tavern.

    278

    That year two marriages had come of these balls.

    279

    That's between the two of you.

    280

    That's what keeps me two steps ahead of the opposition.

    281

    The air was hot and dry, the two suns too dim to shed much light into the black fortress.

    282

    The arrow went over his head and was followed by two more.

    283

    The biggest thing you two have against each other is that you're so much alike.

    284

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

    285

    The brunette stood between Traci and Rainy, as if she were trying to broker a peace deal between two warring countries.

    286

    The building of a new church, previously begun, had cost about 10,000 in each of the last two years, and he did not know how the rest, about 100,000 rubles, was spent, and almost every year he was obliged to borrow.

    287

    The Cossacks sold the horse for two gold pieces, and Rostov, being the richest of the officers now that he had received his money, bought it.

    288

    The couple was newly married, Bird Song still under construction, and with Fred out of town, they stole two days on a camping honeymoon.

    289

    The director lived in a Georgetown mansion with his wife and two dogs.

    290

    The fact that Mrs. Worthington's sister was playing tourist on the road for at least the next two weeks made prospects bleak for catching up with Martha's bones, at least in the near future.

    291

    The final dream produced the names of two families together with time and location.

    292

    The friendly action was the beginning of a strong relationship between my two favorite women.

    293

    The glow from the flashlight barely illuminated the next few feet of inky darkness as the two youngsters crept along the dank passageway.

    294

    The home, now known as Eight Maples Farm, had been a gathering place for travelers seeking good music and refreshments, over two hundred years ago.

    295

    The house has but two small second story bedrooms.

    296

    The hundred mile drive up the coast to Santa Barbara took more than two hours during which we chatted the entire way.

    297

    The landing paused at the Y of two long hallways.

    298

    The last item on Dean's list of pleasurable activities was punching one if you want this and two if you want that buttons, then sitting on hold while listening to elevator music from some bureaucratic office.

    299

    The life died from Two's eyes, and he replaced his hood.

    300

    The man with green eyes leaned over to Two, whispering to him.

    301

    The men piled into two Tahoes, and the woman led her to a small Honda.

    302

    The next moment two bees flew eagerly in.

    303

    The other four trunks displayed like goods—a moth-eaten gorilla suit, two bloody collections of dresses, and an outfit Dean supposed Frankenstein wore when he went out for a little nightlife.

    304

    The other two men gazed at her.

    305

    The other two were too occupied by whatever happened to do more than glance at the newcomer.

    306

    The plate was yellow with black number; two digits, a space, and three digits.

    307

    The ride took about forty minutes and as we arrived, two patrol cars were pulling away from the scene.

    308

    The room was otherwise arranged as if for a wedding with two sets of neatly lined chairs on either side of a long aisle.

    309

    The schoolhouse was two or three miles from home, but he did not mind the long walk through the woods and over the hills.

    310

    The shaded patio was as wide as the mansion, with two small outdoor bars and groups of chairs around tables.

    311

    The shadow named Two emerged from the corner.

    312

    The smoke proved to be too much for Adrienne and two other girls, so they decided to walk each other home.

    313

    The storm has blown two of the little ones out of the nest.

    314

    The summer you two came up here, I had a major crush on my handsome California cousin but you were seven years older than me and didn't know I existed.

    315

    The system drops the last two digits of the number so it's never even received at the call center.

    316

    The telephone confab was between Rose and Cynthia and apparently the two spoke with like mind.

    317

    The thought pierced her thoughts, and she sagged against Two, not caring if she survived or not.

    318

    The three largest quarters were located on the third floor, all presently booked by the two Dawkins brothers and wives, one pair of whom was not sleeping with his mate.

    319

    The time is two hours later in New Jersey.

    320

    The troops again began to move, and two battalions of the Novgorod and one of the Apsheron regiment went forward past the Emperor.

    321

    The two brothers stared at each other, and she choked back a sob, joy and horror flying through her.

    322

    The two chatted while Cynthia dried her hands.

    323

    The two deities were bristling.

    324

    The two drinks and lack of a third caused him to be more direct than normal politeness would dictate.

    325

    The two Emperors, the Russian with his heir the Tsarevich, and the Austrian with the Archduke, inspected the allied army of eighty thousand men.

    326

    The two generals and the adjutant took hold of the field glass, trying to snatch it from one another.

    327

    The two Guardians looked at each other, neither certain how to respond.

    328

    The two looked up and down the hallway, then withdrew a lock pick set.

    329

    The two lowered their weapons in response, and she sheathed her knives with a glance at the blood bubbling on the scrape on her arm.

    330

    The two men didn't simply dislike one another—the feelings ran far deeper.

    331

    The two men talked for a few minutes and then one rider turned his bay horse toward the wagons.

    332

    The two mused over capturing a free half-day to hike the alpine meadows.

    333

    The two of them toppled to the floor with the book.

    334

    The two remained that way, blanketed in the comforting stillness of the old house and one another's arms.

    335

    The two silhouettes were gone.

    336

    The two spoke for a few moments before Xander bowed his head and walked away.

    337

    The two spoke for only a few minutes, in the privacy of the kitchen.

    338

    The two types of beings had last brought their war to the mortal realm during the time of the Schism, when they'd almost destroyed the universe.

    339

    The two were closer than they should have been.

    340

    The two were silent, waiting each other out.

    341

    The two were tense enough to worry her that they meant to fight.

    342

    The two women adjourned to the front porch to cut green beans and shuck corn.

    343

    The two women laughed and pointed at her shirt.

    344

    The two women resumed their activities, unaffected by his outburst.

    345

    The two women went below to prepare the cocoa, leaving Howie and me in the darkened lab.

    346

    The two worlds were sealed after the Schism.

    347

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

    348

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

    349

    The underground world was well built and bright with whitewashed walls lining corridors wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

    350

    The voice in her head came from Two.

    351

    The window frame which prevented anyone from sitting on the outer sill was being forced out by two footmen, who were evidently flurried and intimidated by the directions and shouts of the gentlemen around.

    352

    The Wolfman showed up in Mrs. Worthington's trunk and two of her friends, the gift shop owner included, reported a mummy and an assortment of armor.

    353

    Then he added with a smile in his voice, You two are working late together.

    354

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

    355

    There are two other waitresses here.

    356

    There are two people on my list.

    357

    There are two psychics?

    358

    There are two sources for each unit.

    359

    There have been two deities in the position of the Dark One, rendering him one of the oldest.

    360

    There isn't enough work for two people, and Brandon loves the ranch.

    361

    There was a pause as the two eyed each other.

    362

    There was the Friday meeting with the town ladies— just two days away—and Dean knew he should be gathering thoughts and notes but his mind was too scattered to construct a coherent speech.

    363

    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.

    364

    There were in the room a child's cot, two boxes, two armchairs, a table, a child's table, and the little chair on which Prince Andrew was sitting.

    365

    There were only two men in the world he'd entrust with his life.

    366

    There you two are.

    367

    These are my other two daughters, Dulce and Alondra.

    368

    These were the two Emperors followed by their suites.

    369

    They had two adopted children already.

    370

    They have no friend Iolaus to burn with a hot iron the root of the hydra's head, but as soon as one head is crushed, two spring up.

    371

    They looked like two seated sentinels guarding the castle gate.

    372

    They might still want to ask me a question or two.

    373

    They passed through two more doors before exiting into a cold desert night on the side of a mountain, overlooking the activity at the elevator's entrance.

    374

    They were at another discreet location, this one nestled between the peaks of two mountains.

    375

    They were driving on Main Street when they spotted Fred O'Connor sauntering down from the courthouse chatting with two ladies who looked enthralled by his company.

    376

    They were two strangers.

    377

    Thirty minutes later, the two emerged from the room, all smiles.

    378

    This was one way to kill two birds with one stone.

    379

    Those two might kill each other without a referee.

    380

    Those two will continue to send people to kill you, just like Jule and the swordsman.

    381

    Though I wouldn't have believed it two weeks ago, peace of sorts prevails at Econ Scrutiny and with the lives of its employees.

    382

    Three calls were telephoned from Boston, New York and Connecticut while two were made on untraceable phones.

    383

    Three men stood in the main foyer, two in the same shade of brown as her bodyguard and a striking man in designer jeans and an expensive sweater.

    384

    To be able to pluck two such treasures and eliminate another is worthy of praise from high!

    385

    To her surprise, Xander stepped between her and the two pissed-off vamps waiting for her.

    386

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

    387

    Two armored Tahoes sat out front with an additional two more well-armed Guardians.

    388

    Two blocks away we found a dark spot that catered to happy hour regulars.

    389

    Two bolted to his feet at the unfamiliar voice.

    390

    Two bowed his head, and the green-eyed man was gone in a sparkle of light.

    391

    Two bowed his head, awaiting a beating that never came.

    392

    Two caught her before she hit the ground.

    393

    Two children, brother and sister, were on their way to school.

    394

    Two continued walking, finding a narrow path in the dark and starting down it.

    395

    Two days before the examinations, Mr. Vining sent me a braille copy of one of the old Harvard papers in algebra.

    396

    Two days later, a cryptic message was posted on his regular secure web site.

    397

    Two dropped his arms to his side.

    398

    Two figures stood between the two lines in front of a headstone.

    399

    Two for three was never the less remarkable.

    400

    Two forms stepped between them and the portal, blocking it.

    401

    Two freed her a few hours later and let her walk around the room.

    402

    Two had helped force feed him, before he knew kiri loved him.

    403

    Two had never heard kiri cry so hard.

    404

    Two horses were tied up and there was a wagon and mule at the end of the street.

    405

    Two hours later Prince Andrew, stepping softly, went into his father's room.

    406

    Two hours later, after too much coffee and too much worrying, and only Bumpus to talk to I telephoned Howie.

    407

    Two kids plotting against a bully, exploring new haunts, exchanging secrets, making up games and building a club house together.

    408

    Two large men entered.

    409

    Two large men stood in front of the door across the hall.

    410

    Two left, the necklace dangling in his hand.

    411

    Two lifted her and carried her into a hallway teeming with vamps.

    412

    Two looked around him.

    413

    Two lowered her, pulling up his sleeves to fight.

    414

    Two mechanically dressed and left his room.

    415

    Two medics came over and pushed Jackson out of the way and began to lift me.

    416

    Two men in black darted through the bodies and into the house while two more hung back at the garage entrance.

    417

    Two men sat at the table, one with blond hair and the other like something out of a movie.

    418

    Two millennia later, it is fair to assume that humans are still capable of this kind of memory.

    419

    Two more turns were negotiated and marked and in spite of their slow progress, according to the map they were nearing their goal.

    420

    Two more vamps assigned as Jonny's guards stood on either side of the door to his personal chambers.

    421

    Two mules had to be shot.

    422

    Two obeyed and left the room filled with lights and computers.

    423

    Two obeyed and moved forward, slicing his wrist for her again.

    424

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

    425

    Two of the brothers led Pierre up to the altar, placed his feet at right angles, and bade him lie down, saying that he must prostrate himself at the Gates of the Temple.

    426

    Two of them laughed.

    427

    Two of them rode side by side in front, at full gallop.

    428

    Two or three times we stopped to rest under a tree by the wayside.

    429

    Two people laughed aloud and someone growled about their federal tax dollars at work.

    430

    Two pulled her to her feet.

    431

    Two pulled up his sleeve.

    432

    Two released Damian from the bonds and lifted him over his shoulders.

    433

    Two returned to his corner.

    434

    Two rolled from his place on the concrete floor in the corner and unwrapped the ratty blanket he used to keep himself warm.

    435

    Two sat down on his bed and stared into the darkness, unable to sleep when she cried.

    436

    Two sensed it and cringed as he entered the room.

    437

    Two sets of startled eyes turned on her.

    438

    Two strained against her grip and tensed.

    439

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

    440

    Two thoughts crossed her mind simultaneously.

    441

    Two times she had been back to visit her siblings, both times at Christmas.

    442

    Two took her arm, driving her onward.

    443

    Two took her down a quieter hall and set her down.

    444

    Two took his canteen and rose.

    445

    Two uniformed officers nearby turned their heads.

    446

    Two used condoms were nearby.

    447

    Two walked on once he reached the desert, and she trotted after him, looking back at the floodlit entrance to the elevator.

    448

    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.

    449

    Two went back to the door and looked at his hand.

    450

    Two went to Damian's cell and opened the door.

    451

    Two were in outlying areas north of town and two in the city of Keene.

    452

    Two, let her walk around for an hour every twelve.

    453

    Two, prep the room.

    454

    Two, put her on the table.

    455

    Two, take this bitch to the helo-pad.

    456

    Two's chest clenched at the thought, and he was afraid.

    457

    Was he actually considering having two wives?

    458

    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.

    459

    We caught two intersection videos of the van traveling in the direction of route 154.

    460

    We could take two wagons, but that would mean we'd have to travel slow, and there wouldn't be any animals for riding except Bordeaux's horse.

    461

    We couldn't afford an apartment right now - even with the two of us.

    462

    We don't usually have a problem tracking him, but this changed about two weeks ago.

    463

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

    464

    We learned later, at first the police were suspicious of the parents as they couldn't believe someone could enter a small house with sleeping adults and two boys in an adjoining room, and not be heard.

    465

    We may stay there a night or two.

    466

    We shared our sadness at the waste of two barely emerging lives with the remainder of the celebratory bourbon.

    467

    We took the car on vacation and our two families had a great time.

    468

    We were on it, so to speak, less than two hours after the baby was taken.

    469

    We would restrict our altruistic activity to weekends and possibly an evening or two a week by phone, if it worked.

    470

    We'd drive Peabody, Massachusetts, two weeks before our wedding.

    471

    We'll be back in an hour or two.

    472

    We'll spend two hours burying supplies - no more.

    473

    We're two hundred miles away.

    474

    Well, you see, I'll tell you the whole secret of dueling in two words.

    475

    What do you two think you're doing out here in the dark?

    476

    What happens beyond that is between the two of you.

    477

    What took you two so long to get water?

    478

    When he had ridden about two miles and had passed the last of the Russian troops, he saw, near a kitchen garden with a ditch round it, two men on horseback facing the ditch.

    479

    When I first met Howie in class I thought he was just this lonely guy but he seemed nice and we had coffee a time of two.

    480

    When I next saw her she was a formless heap of cotton, which I should not have recognized at all except for the two bead eyes which looked out at me reproachfully.

    481

    When Pierre saw the Emperor he was coming out accompanied by two merchants, one of whom Pierre knew, a fat otkupshchik.

    482

    When the first two tries proved unsuccessful, tempers frayed even more.

    483

    When two objects have different charges a field exists between them.

    484

    While I long to have the child alone in my cabin, keeping the two in there would be cumbersome.

    485

    Who would have guessed two years ago that he would become a happily married man?

    486

    Will you two hold it down for a few minutes?

    487

    Without a pump or two spares, they accomplished the same thing.

    488

    Xander drew his weapons and crossed to the two vamps, chopping them down.

    489

    Xander motioned the two vamps away.

    490

    You couldn't keep your hands off—" "You two know each other?"

    491

    You do more work than the other two girls put together.

    492

    You killed my brother and two hundred sixty-three other Guardians.

    493
