When in A Sentence

    1

    A few days later when Carmen and Destiny were visiting Katie, the issue popped out of her mouth in another conversation.

    2

    A person could change a lot in a few years, especially when they were that young.

    3

    Adrienne didn't see or hear from Brandon again until Friday, when he showed up unexpectedly and started packing clothes.

    4

    Again he bent his head and his lips questioned hers gently at first, and then with more emotion when she responded.

    5

    Alex got a relief when the conversation turned to something else and stayed there for the rest of the evening.

    6

    Alex hesitantly put an arm around her waist, relaxing when she caressed his hand.

    7

    Alex looked stern, and when Carmen met his gaze, he looked down at his plate.

    8

    Alex looked up and smiled when they walked into the room.

    9

    Alex was away on a call when she discovered Princess in labor.

    10

    Alex was going to college when his parents died in the plane crash.

    11

    Alex was removing supper from the oven when she walked into the kitchen.

    12

    All I know is that he gets defensive when I mention Uncle Fabrice.

    13

    All I know is... all of the sudden you were walking away from me - right when I needed you the most.

    14

    All such concerns flew away likes ducks going south when he returned to the room.

    15

    All the way to the great rock the wooden people followed them, and when Jim finally alighted at the mouth of the cavern the pursuers were still some distance away.

    16

    Alondra and Felipa laughed when Carmen blushed.

    17

    An hour later she was pushing a pizza in the oven when Yancey walked in.

    18

    And then she remembered seeing Dulce watching her when she accepted the drink.

    19

    And then when I heard you crying in the bathroom.

    20

    And when she's surrounded with his work, she still doesn't recognize him.

    21

    Any of our infrequent visitors or friends asking about the operation quickly developed a bleary look when we tried to explain what we did for a living.

    22

    As always, he had been there when she needed him.

    23

    As if bent on assisting her, the weather turned steamy when it entered the second week of June.

    24

    At the allotted hour, Betsy and I were finishing a bottle of wine when the phone rang.

    25

    Betsy was awake when I returned home and wanted to know what delayed me.

    26

    Betsy was awake when I returned.

    27

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

    28

    Brandon still wasn't sure when he would be able to leave the ranch.

    29

    Breakfast was on the table when she entered the dining room.

    30

    Brennan asked when there was a break in our conversation.

    31

    But he became nervous again when the next visitor was announced.

    32

    But how could she do that when he was there every day?

    33

    But I heard you talking to that man in the black suit when I was in the building.

    34

    But I thought when people got married...

    35

    But if I'm supposed to avoid the subject, don't act like I'm in the middle of some deceitful act when I try.

    36

    But it didn't, and even when she slept, she dreamed of him again.

    37

    But nothing was different when she woke in his arms hours later.

    38

    But on the road, the highroad along which the troops marched, there was no such freshness even at night or when the road passed through the forest; the dew was imperceptible on the sandy dust churned up more than six inches deep.

    39

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

    40

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

    41

    But when she came into the kitchen he was nowhere in sight.

    42

    But when you kissed me, something snapped inside.

    43

    By noon she had the pictures and mirrors on the walls and was hanging the curtains when Cade came in.

    44

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

    45

    Cautiously, she crept up to the door and peered around it, jerking her head back instinctively when she spotted Yancey unlocking a door to an inner office.

    46

    Could a man tell when he was her first?

    47

    Cynthia Turley was in the middle of cleaning his favorite table when he walked through the diner door.

    48

    Cynthia was careful not to flirt with Cade again, putting on a professional front when he was around.

    49

    Cynthia was peeling potatoes when Claudette wandered into the kitchen.

    50

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

    51

    Davis was in the lobby when she arrived.

    52

    Destiny was still asleep when Carmen and Katie left the hospital.

    53

    Destiny woke several times during the night, but went back to sleep when she saw Carmen was there.

    54

    Destiny's eyes lit up when she saw it.

    55

    Did I sleep in that room when I visited?

    56

    Didn't you see me when you walked by?

    57

    Do you think Jonathan might feel left out when the new baby comes?

    58

    Dorothy must take her parasol and open it suddenly when the wooden folks attack her.

    59

    Each of us maintains our own apartment, but when Betsy is in town, we spend most nights together.

    60

    Eager, frightened, helpless glances were turned on Alpatych when he came out of the Governor's room.

    61

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

    62

    Especially when it isn't necessary.

    63

    Even if he was a Mormon, how could he make plans with this Darcie when he had proposed to her only an hour ago?

    64

    Every child feels displaced to some degree when a new sibling arrives.

    65

    Every night she dreamed about him - about the way his voice sounded when her ear was on his chest.

    66

    For a long time he simply stood there, and when he finally spoke, his voice was controlled.

    67

    For a moment she wanted to retract the part about being entertainment, but when he spoke she realized it might have been exactly what she needed to say.

    68

    For starters, I think I got derailed when you said your mother's name was Alexandrine.

    69

    For the first time the memory of how he reacted when she told him she was pregnant wasn't a painful one.

    70

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

    71

    Giddon was leaning against the kitchen sink, frowning into a cup of coffee when she entered.

    72

    Hadn't she been supportive of Brandon when he made his foolish move of dropping out of college?

    73

    He asked for a samovar and for hay for his horses, and when he had had his tea he went to bed.

    74

    He couldn't understand why she would say that when she'd been living in his house so long.

    75

    He didn't act concerned when she told him she had looked at them - not until she questioned the source.

    76

    He didn't bring it up again - not even when Jonathan was unable to get his short arm into a comfortable position to play the guitar.

    77

    He had climbed many a tree when he was a boy.

    78

    He hated it when she won an argument.

    79

    He paused when she turned sharply.

    80

    He slowly lowered his head, and when his lips touched hers, they were warm and firm.

    81

    He smiled his delight when he saw Adrienne, and smothered her in a hug.

    82

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

    83

    He stood, and when she looked up at him, he leaned down and kissed her lips.

    84

    He watched a man and woman grab Eric when he went to the bathroom and with her hand over the boy's mouth, push him into a car.

    85

    He's napping in our room at the top of the stairs When I didn't comment, he continued.

    86

    He's only here until Sunday night when we drop him off in Boston for his flight back to the west coast.

    87

    Her attention was diverted a few minutes later when Yancey arrived.

    88

    Her bare feet made no noise as she moved across the room toward him, so when she reached his side he glanced up sharply.

    89

    Her beautiful eyes glanced askance at her husband's face, and her own assumed the timid, deprecating expression of a dog when it rapidly but feebly wags its drooping tail.

    90

    Her face felt hot when she thought of how she had spoken of him.

    91

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

    92

    His expression softened when he saw she had been crying.

    93

    His eyes looked huge when he was scared.

    94

    How could she blame him when she had offered no resistance?

    95

    How old was she when she died?

    96

    Howie broke out in a sweat when he thought about actually witnessing a killing.

    97

    Howie had taken to picking at his fingers when the tension built.

    98

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

    99

    Howie was about to become Father Abbott, a Catholic priest when a drunk in a half million dollar motor home broadsided him.

    100

    I barely know him and you heard his feelings when we were together.

    101

    I can see right now that I'm going to have to be more explicit when I talk to you.

    102

    I ceased making the sound "wah-wah" only when I learned to spell the word.

    103

    I dated Amos Croft when I was a girl.

    104

    I do not remember when I first realized that I was different from other people; but I knew it before my teacher came to me.

    105

    I don't like it when you're rough like that.

    106

    I felt like Claire Elizabeth must have felt when the doctor cut her cord.

    107

    I guess I was already half in love with you when we met.

    108

    I guess it does sound dull when I talk about it, but it's never dull to me, and Alex seems to be happy with things.

    109

    I guess that's what you meant in the diner when you told me to hold that thought.

    110

    I guess when you put it that way...

    111

    I had an awful crush on him when we were in high school.

    112

    I had closed my eyes when my wife snuggled next to me.

    113

    I hid when this guy drove up.

    114

    I kept seeing little Nick's face in the window when they left the house.

    115

    I knew by the way my mother and aunt dressed when they were going out, and I invariably begged to go with them.

    116

    I knew it when he caught you alone beside the pool.

    117

    I know you love me, but when people find out I lived with the Indians for three years...

    118

    I mean, when Dulce isn't chewing you out.

    119

    I need it when I get in the high country.

    120

    I noticed that you always carry a rifle when you go out.

    121

    I only use the dining room when I have company.

    122

    I shut off all my equipment at six o'clock when my experiment expires.

    123

    I told them I was a Wizard, and showed them some easy tricks that amazed them; and when they saw the initials painted on the balloon they called me Oz.

    124

    I took my risks when I joined this group and I'm willing to face up to my responsibilities.

    125

    I understand when they have an emergency and you're handy, but surely they don't have emergencies all the time.

    126

    I was just wondering how to deal with the insurance company when the seller is the owner.

    127

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

    128

    I was uncorking a second bottle when Howie arrived.

    129

    I'd better move my hunt further south when I've cleaned up my business and finished here.

    130

    I'd never drive with my own plates when I'm on the prowl for little people.

    131

    I'll be in the kitchen... when you get decent.

    132

    I'll introduce you when I find her.

    133

    I'll see enough of the city when I go back to college.

    134

    I'm not sure exactly when I started falling in love with you.

    135

    If and when she got married, it would be for love.

    136

    If Howard hadn't come along when he did, Allen might have killed you.

    137

    If she had asked about the building when we passed it, I might have figured she had never seen it, but she pretended she didn't notice.

    138

    If she had come up with Brandon when he asked, she would have been there when Mr. Marsh suffered the heart attack.

    139

    If she needed any reassurance about her appearance, it was immediately supplied by Yancey's reaction when she entered the family room.

    140

    If you had left when Brandon wanted you to, you still couldn't have done anything.

    141

    In business transactions Alex was frugal with his money, but when it came to his family, he was generous.

    142

    In fact, she was so keyed up when she reached her apartment that she decided to call her best friend with the news.

    143

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

    144

    Is there a voice scrambler so we have more security when we call in tips?

    145

    It brought her closer to the time when she could go back to the ranch.

    146

    It didn't take long for him to get home, and when he came in from the garage, he went directly to his gun cabinet and took out a rifle.

    147

    It hurts him when you say... things.

    148

    It makes me feel small when you keep things from me - like you don't trust me, or you think I'm not mature enough to handle it.

    149

    It must have helped, at least to some degree, because when he spoke again outside her door, his voice was controlled.

    150

    It never occurred to her that he might be embarrassed when he found out.

    151

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

    152

    It shouldn't be any surprise, since that was what suffered when he had been troubled in the past.

    153

    It still makes me cry when I think of Annie, even after fifteen years.

    154

    It was a hang-up but when she returned moments later, she heard a car leaving the alley behind her house.

    155

    It was already late when he rose after sealing the letter.

    156

    It was amazing how clearly a person could see things when trouble lurked on the horizon.

    157

    It was beautiful in winter, but it would be much more so when the trees gained color.

    158

    It was bright daylight when she woke.

    159

    It was early morning when Howie first intruded.

    160

    It was past one o'clock when Pierre left his friend.

    161

    It was ridiculous - sending him into town after such personal items when she was perfectly capable of going by herself.

    162

    It was something she had smelled at the University ... but when and where?

    163

    It wasn't that I didn't know when things started getting out of control.

    164

    It would be handy when she studied to home school too.

    165

    It's almost dry and I hate it when it gets all wrinkled.

    166

    It's so pleasant when you understand your true talents and realize your superiority makes you capable of near impossible goals.

    167

    Katie said she should confront him when he did that - tell him how it made her feel.

    168

    Kind of makes you wonder what they were up to when she was my age, doesn't it?

    169

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

    170

    Later, when everyone had left, Yancey took Lisa's hands in his.

    171

    Let him wonder what she would do when they got home.

    172

    Let me know at once when you will start.

    173

    Let me know when you're through talking.

    174

    Let's say it landed right in front of you when you were cold sober.

    175

    Lisa had time between when Howard left and Giddon arrived to call the police, but she didn't.

    176

    Lisa hesitated, afraid of blundering further, but why did he need a sitter when his mother lived in the house?

    177

    Lisa said that when she was choking, you stood by and did nothing.

    178

    Martha was already on the stairs when I returned to the room.

    179

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

    180

    Mary stood by, unusually quiet, but when Cade left she found her voice.

    181

    Mary was silent again for a few moments and when she spoke it was in a controlled voice.

    182

    Maybe he was thinking about what his father would say or do when he came in.

    183

    Maybe so, but I've seen the way you look at him when you forget yourself.

    184

    Maybe the last situation was what gave her the courage to speak up when the inheritance tension came back.

    185

    Maybe when she got back she could replace her old one.

    186

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

    187

    Minutes later when the nurse arrived with a syringe of medicine, Destiny was asleep again, still clutching the doll to her chest.

    188

    Mom, when will the baby be born?

    189

    More importantly, what would he say when she returned?

    190

    My smile disappeared when I saw Howard Abbott on the sofa, his head in his hands.

    191

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

    192

    Nor did he say anything when she exchanged the guitar for a violin and paid for lessons.

    193

    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.

    194

    Not when everything else was working out so well.

    195

    Now his only concern was that she had his meal ready when he came home for supper.

    196

    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.

    197

    Often, when he was a little lad, he took long walks among the trees with his mother.

    198

    On the other hand, when the issue finally came to a head, she would have been in the middle of it all anyway.

    199

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

    200

    Only Quinn seemed pleased with that result but when we tried to question him about it he refused to discuss the matter.

    201

    Perhaps I'll move further east and see if the plucking is better when the weather is cooler.

    202

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

    203

    Quinn was flipping the pancakes when Martha hurried down the stairs.

    204

    Quinn was required to pick up extra classes when an older professor passed away suddenly.

    205

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

    206

    Sarah and Tammy were putting up groceries when Lisa announced she was going to take a walk.

    207

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

    208

    She added, Most old pictures and records went up in smoke when the old building burned.

    209

    She closed the doors when she left the room, anticipation increasing her pulse.

    210

    She didn't look at Yancey when they left.

    211

    She died when she was twelve.

    212

    She died when Tammy was born, didn't she?

    213

    She died when Tammy was born.

    214

    She fell asleep again when he left the room.

    215

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

    216

    She glanced around the room again and did a double take when she saw the man in a dark brown suit.

    217

    She had barely finished putting the things away when Mary knocked on the kitchen door.

    218

    She had shut Katie off many times when she had tried to tell her things.

    219

    She held her breath while she tugged at the window, letting it out in a sigh of relief when the sash lifted quietly.

    220

    She knew that when she accepted the job so any complaint at this point would be out of line.

    221

    She looked at her husband, the most closed minded among us, when she spoke.

    222

    She prepared the table and was putting the food on when Cade opened the door.

    223

    She put the things in her bathroom and was returning to the bedroom when Cade knocked on her open door.

    224

    She said nothing, but when they entered the kitchen to find Len sitting at the table, his expression was wary.

    225

    She said they were both supportive of her when Alex was born.

    226

    She said when a familiar voice answered on the fifth ring.

    227

    She set the table and glanced up when the screen door squeaked.

    228

    She smiled warmly when Adrienne walked in.

    229

    She stopped in the kitchen when she spotted the skillet of scrambled eggs and a pan of biscuits beside it.

    230

    She stumbled up the dune behind him and stopped when he held out a hand.

    231

    She took a bite of her sandwich and glanced up when he finally spoke, his tone brusque.

    232

    She used the same suit cases when she came and she had the same clothes, but it didn't look like there was enough room to put it all in.

    233

    She was almost finished packing when the doorbell rang.

    234

    She was lounging on the bed reading a magazine when someone knocked on the door.

    235

    She was opening her mouth to respond when Yancey pulled over and stopped.

    236

    She was out, dressed and fixing supper when the bus stopped to let Jonathan out.

    237

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

    238

    She was putting supper on the table when she glanced out the window and noticed Giddon riding Diablo back into the yard.

    239

    She was relieved when an older gentleman cut in.

    240

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

    241

    She was setting the last bowl on the table when he returned.

    242

    She was staring at the cake, trying to find some fond memory to shove aside the pictures in her mind when Sarah walked into the room.

    243

    She was still awake an hour later when Alex came through the door.

    244

    She was still in tears when she returned.

    245

    She was still smiling when she walked back into the kitchen.

    246

    She was tending the mules when she saw a rider on top of a sand dune.

    247

    She watched him climb stiffly into his wagon and knew a moment of sadness when she remembered that before long she would be leaving and she would never see him again.

    248

    Since his back was to the danger, he was unaware when the man gunned the engine and started to drive towards him.

    249

    So far she had never mentioned her excursions to the attic, but when things got too dull around the house, she went up to explore.

    250

    So when are you getting your car?

    251

    So when do you plan to leave?

    252

    So when Mr. Cade strode into the diner Friday night, Cynthia's clothes were packed and stored in the back room of the diner.

    253

    Someone knocked on the door and when she answered it, a man brought in their luggage.

    254

    Still, it was something she should have asked when he first offered her the job.

    255

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

    256

    Tammy could have been born when he was very young.

    257

    Telephones, when they first appeared, were called "talking telegraphs."

    258

    That served another purpose when the conversation turned to the possibility of another child.

    259

    That was when Mom and Señor Medena started hanging out together anyway - the first time.

    260

    That was when she noticed Claudette standing in the kitchen doorway.

    261

    That was when she noticed Old Charlie standing beside the house, the reins dragging the ground.

    262

    That was when she noticed the chill bumps on his arm.

    263

    That was when she noticed the clay on her shirt.

    264

    That wasn't easy to do when a person was physically and emotionally exhausted.

    265

    That's when I decided to ask you to marry me.

    266

    That's when I'll be dealing with you.

    267

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

    268

    That's when Russie got the ranch.

    269

    That's when she thought of it.

    270

    That's when we all do things together.

    271

    The big bay was breathing hard when they stopped to rest.

    272

    The case was only hours old when Betsy spotted it giving us hope for the boy's recovery and the perpetrator's arrest.

    273

    The doorbell rang and she felt a rush of panic when she heard Sarah answer the door.

    274

    The evening was long and she was grateful when Cade announced he was going to bed.

    275

    The fact is, when wolves attack a herd, they always take the weakest animal.

    276

    The idea was reinforced when Gerald turned and walked out the door without doing so.

    277

    The next morning she paused at her door when she heard Yancey talking to someone.

    278

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

    279

    The piglet is gone, and you ran out of the room when Jellia opened the door.

    280

    The questions plagued her until one evening when the black car returned.

    281

    The ranchers around here say they can always count on him to help when they're in a bind.

    282

    The rest of us were spiraling toward bankruptcy when Howie turned to Martha.

    283

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

    284

    The second time was when she married Quinn LeBlanc.

    285

    The very next day she was straining over the counter to reach behind the stove when Cade came into the kitchen.

    286

    The way he acted tonight was a little too much like he did when he came home from the hospital.

    287

    The Wizard, when he returned to his own room, was exceedingly thoughtful.

    288

    The words weren't out of my mouth when we heard his door open and footsteps retreating down the hall.

    289

    The worst of it was when I got that adoption form in the mail today.

    290

    Their compassion demanded it be done but they anguished when no information was forthcoming.

    291

    Then today when I couldn't find her . . .

    292

    Then when I caught him spying on me at the restaurant in Huntsville...

    293

    Then when Mary arrived, you ran off.

    294

    Then when telephones became untethered, they were "wireless telephones."

    295

    Then, on Christmas morning when everyone is awake, we lounge around in our night clothes while we open presents.

    296

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

    297

    There is something about the way she looks at you when she needs your help – so vulnerable.

    298

    There was great applause when the speaker sat down.

    299

    They had nearly completed the room when Destiny got sick.

    300

    They talked for several hours and when Mary left, Cade was nowhere in sight.

    301

    They were sitting beside each other, reading when she began the inquest.

    302

    They would have some time to enjoy a late Christmas at home when they returned.

    303

    They'll keep the pressure on the authorities when any of these cases get out of the public eye.

    304

    This would be a good place to come to relax, though - when the weather warmed.

    305

    To be sure, when we can get them.

    306

    Tonight, when it was dark, she could pretend they were at home.

    307

    True to his word, when informed of our decision, he immediately put the gears in motion.

    308

    We heard him come downstairs and when he didn't return, I came down to check on him.

    309

    We knew similar situations would arise when missing children would be found dead, or actually murdered.

    310

    We never-the-less decided to postpone discussion until the following day when, as Martha said, we had a night of rumination and our wits about us.

    311

    We were gender general when mentioning that person.

    312

    We were late for work but in a great mood when we finally arrived.

    313

    We were rolling in euphoria when an old friend from my Amherst, Massachusetts childhood telephoned with an invitation to visit her family cabin in New Hampshire.

    314

    We'll hear him the same as when he's in here, but he won't be disturbed by us when we talk.

    315

    What are you going to do when you find him?

    316

    What she expected to see when she turned was Sarah's white Plymouth, but the car that stopped before the house was Allen's red Eagle Talon.

    317

    What was he thinking when he did that?

    318

    What were you when you were first alive?

    319

    What would happen when an equally good-looking woman tempted him?

    320

    Whatever the case, she always made sure his table was ready when he arrived.

    321

    When Adrienne walked into the lounge, Roxanne was slipping out of her coat.

    322

    When Alex approached Carmen about giving Tessa some money, she said it was up to him, but keep in mind that the issue could have been something like drugs.

    323

    When Alex came home that evening, Carmen told him about it.

    324

    When Alex came in that evening, he announced that he was making another trip to Texas.

    325

    When Alex returned to the table, he sat in the chair Carmen held for him.

    326

    When Alex walked through the door, they were standing by the table, waiting on him.

    327

    When asked why he now went public with his so-called gift, he replied he was establishing a business to locate missing children.

    328

    When Cade came into the kitchen she placed a cup of hot chocolate and a saucer of cinnamon toast before him.

    329

    When Cade finally stepped through the doorway holding a cup of coffee, her breath escaped in a long sigh.

    330

    When Carmen turned, Dulce was watching her with the same expression.

    331

    When Claudette arrived, the room was finished and the house in order.

    332

    When Connie arrived, Lisa had barely buckled her seatbelt before she started asking questions.

    333

    When Connie continued to watch her dubiously, Lisa dropped to the bed and sighed heavily.

    334

    When contemplating the future, our only point of reference is present reality.

    335

    When Cynthia finished tightening the cinch and lowered the stirrup, she turned to find him watching her.

    336

    When Dad died, he left this Ranch to his wife and stepson and his fortune went to the rest of us kids.

    337

    When Destiny wanted to wear a ring like mommy, Carmen tied a yellow ribbon around her finger and made a bow of it on the top.

    338

    When did it happen?

    339

    When did this happen, Mom?

    340

    When do I start?

    341

    When Dulce stopped talking, he said something and turned, walking away from her.

    342

    When everyone was satisfied, they exchanged names and numbers.

    343

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

    344

    When had he shut out those fond memories of rodeos and outings at the Medena hacienda?

    345

    When he answered, his voice was gravely.

    346

    When he came into the kitchen, his gaze settled on her.

    347

    When he continued to assess her, she boldly returned his appraisal.

    348

    When he continued to stare at her, she added, "And neither am I."

    349

    When he continued to watch her without response, she sighed.

    350

    When he continued to watch her, she smiled wryly.

    351

    When he didn't stop, she stamped her foot.

    352

    When he finally broke away, the words escaped her mouth.

    353

    When he finally lifted his head and spoke to Adrienne, his voice was devoid of any emotion.

    354

    When he finally nodded off, nearly an hour had passed.

    355

    When he finally spoke, his tone was terse.

    356

    When he finally spoke, his voice was crisp.

    357

    When he gazed into her eyes, his voice was deep and warm.

    358

    When he returned the Princess looked down the narrow neck of the big ornament and discovered her lost piglet, just as Eureka had said she would.

    359

    When he saw her, he dropped to her side, deep concern in his eyes.

    360

    When he saw pretty Jennie Lohr on the road, he couldn't resist.

    361

    When he spoke, his perspective surprised her.

    362

    When he spoke, his voice was controlled.

    363

    When he spotted her, that sweet chocolate gaze locked on her, visually embracing her from across the room.

    364

    When her attention came back to Alex, he was watching Jonathan.

    365

    When her gaze returned to Lisa, her features softened into a warm smile.

    366

    When his warm lips met hers, she returned his kiss passionately.

    367

    When Howie is unable to verify what we do perhaps he'll let us investigate what's causing his mind to create these fantasies.

    368

    When I didn't answer, he chuckled.

    369

    When I didn't answer, he continued.

    370

    When I didn't answer, she added.

    371

    When I didn't reply, she continued.

    372

    When I didn't respond, she continued.

    373

    When I finished they turned to me for a summary.

    374

    When I know them.

    375

    When I mentioned it to Brenner, he agreed.

    376

    When I noticed his flashing lights behind me, I nearly raced away but he'd have caught me.

    377

    When I related my conversation to my wife, she was elated.

    378

    When I rose and asked if we were ready to begin another session, he was eager to join us on our trek to the basement.

    379

    When I said you were the father, you couldn't believe it.

    380

    When I saw you standing there in the road, so beautiful, your hair flowing around you like morning mist, I couldn't let you walk away.

    381

    When I spoke with him later, he was pleased with his results.

    382

    When I tried to move I found I could!

    383

    When I was taking care of Dad there wasn't time to take classes and he died owing a lot of money, so I had to sell the house.

    384

    When I'd stopped for a breath, the woman asked where I was when I witnessed it and why I'd waited so long to call.

    385

    When I'm not studying medicine, I'm practicing it at the hospital.

    386

    When is it due?

    387

    When it came back to her face, a slow smile erased the creases between his brows.

    388

    When it finally came back to her, the frown was still there, but his expression was cognitive.

    389

    When it finally started down the runway, she closed her eyes.

    390

    When Josh died, Mary had indicated that she felt Carmen was at least partially responsible.

    391

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

    392

    When Mary answered, Cynthia stammered around about the weather and every other subject she could think of.

    393

    When Morino rode far enough ahead so that he couldn't hear their conversation, Carmen finally spoke to Alex.

    394

    When my aunt practically insisted he visit me, I was scared to death wondering what he knew or why he wanted to come.

    395

    When new technology comes out, we generally understand it in terms of what it displaces.

    396

    When next the door was opened you ran out and hid yourself--and the piglet was gone.

    397

    When only silence followed, she seemed to feel obligated to explain.

    398

    When Ozma went away she closed the door and left her pet on the table.

    399

    When picking up her mail at the post office, she often talked to Adrena.

    400

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

    401

    When Sarah learned of her plan to go to the house and pick up some things, she insisted there was no reason to stay.

    402

    When she blushed, he nodded.

    403

    When she called it his money, he always corrected her and said it was theirs.

    404

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

    405

    When she decided Yancey wasn't around, she started down the path, keeping close to the trees without breaking her promise not to wander in the woods.

    406

    When she delivered his meal, he glanced up at her.

    407

    When she did speak, her voice was filled with emotion.

    408

    When she glanced at Alex, he was watching her intently.

    409

    When she glanced at him, he was eyeing her, a wry smile twisting his lips.

    410

    When she glanced up at him, even his smile was reassuring.

    411

    When she glanced up at it, she did a double take.

    412

    When she got to the room, Alex was sitting on the love seat reading a newspaper.

    413

    When she had left the room the prince again began speaking about his son, about the war, and about the Emperor, angrily twitching his brows and raising his hoarse voice, and then he had a second and final stroke.

    414

    When she met him outside, he was attaching a pillow to his ATV with bunji cords.

    415

    When she nodded he patted her on the shoulder.

    416

    When she opened her eyes again, it was dark.

    417

    When she opened her eyes the sun was directly overhead.

    418

    When she paused, Carmen yelled at her.

    419

    When she reached for the receiver, he released it reluctantly and then lounged against the wall where he could hear her conversation.

    420

    When she reminded him that he was going over the thousand-dollar figure he had thrown out, he merely shrugged.

    421

    When she shook her head, he continued.

    422

    When she still didn't respond, he shook his head.

    423

    When she still hesitated his expression became exasperated.

    424

    When she talked to people, she liked to do it face to face.

    425

    When she was close enough to the house, she ran to the courtyard and slipped in through the back door.

    426

    When she was young and naive, she had dreamed of such a job.

    427

    When she woke again, daylight was streaming in through the cave opening.

    428

    When she woke again, the room was dark.

    429

    When she woke again, the sun was shining on her face.

    430

    When the ache had left her legs numb, and her breath was no longer coming in gasps, they started out again - across sand dunes - up and down.

    431

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

    432

    When the band came back Alondra and Felipa danced Flamenco in duet.

    433

    When the band took a break, Carmen was looking for something cool to drink.

    434

    When the Civil War broke out, he fought on the side of the South and became a brigadier-general.

    435

    When the conversation was over, Betsy hugged me, long and hard.

    436

    When the doctor arrived, he had more bad news.

    437

    When the kitchen door opened suddenly, they jerked apart and turned guilty faces to Sarah, whose expression made it clear she had seen and comprehended their actions.

    438

    When the last horse had been gone for a few minutes, he stood.

    439

    When the meal was over, I sought him out in the main room while the other crowded around the kitchen cleaning up.

    440

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

    441

    When the next company of Gargoyles advanced, our adventurers began yelling as if they had gone mad.

    442

    When the nurse arrived, she took Destiny's temperature and said something about the doctor.

    443

    When the silence became uncomfortable, she glared at him.

    444

    When the snow melts they'll sink in the Polish swamps.

    445

    When the soldier is hit by a cannonball, rags are as becoming as purple.

    446

    When the steaks were grilled and the corn and green beans boiled, the table was leaden with food, enough for a small army.

    447

    When the tines get full of hay, you lift it.

    448

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

    449

    When they all set down to supper, Brandon was still brooding.

    450

    When they arrived at the hospital, Alex was pacing.

    451

    When they arrived downstairs, everyone was waiting.

    452

    When they finally interrogated the boy he let enough kitties out of the sack for the detectives put it all together.

    453

    When they passed over a field of grass Jim immediately stretched down his head and began to nibble.

    454

    When they passed through a village they all rushed to the wells and fought for the water and drank it down to the mud.

    455

    When they paused on the bank, she could stand the pain no longer.

    456

    When they questioned the mother of kidnap victim, she was fine, until she learned Youngblood was murdered.

    457

    When they reached door he paused, gazing down at her with an unreadable expression.

    458

    When they reached the house, she invited him in for a cup of coffee.

    459

    When they spotted his truck, Destiny squealed.

    460

    When they turned around, Alex was still on the horse.

    461

    When they were all together he addressed them soberly.

    462

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

    463

    When we called in a tip, the recipient of our offering was located in a secure government-run facility in Omaha that promised total anonymity.

    464

    When we exhausted the subject, Betsy rose and took the floor.

    465

    When we were shown a 1792 restored Inn in the nearby village of Surry, New Hampshire, it was love at first sight.

    466

    When we'd finished, he remained with the women instead of retreating upstairs.

    467

    When will supper be ready?

    468

    When will you be able to take me to get my car?

    469

    When will you ever learn?

    470

    When Yancey's attention diverted to his mother, she simply shrugged.

    471

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

    472

    When you called in your tip, we came down on him like a shoe on a bug.

    473

    When you offered me a job, were you thinking of me in any way other than a housekeeper?

    474

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

    475

    When you sent me away at the hospital, I thought you were through with me.

    476

    When you start seeing Nick... that way, try to replace it with a warm family moment.

    477

    When you two walked in, I could feel the electricity.

    478

    When you went to Columbia, you said we needed the money.

    479

    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?

    480

    When you're done with the dishes, let me know.

    481

    When you're only going to work for the summer, you can't be too picky.

    482

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

    483

    Why don't you call Brennan when we get to the office and see what he thinks about the mystical Mr. Youngblood?

    484

    Why go through all that pain again, when she had almost succeeded in putting him in the past - almost, but not quite.

    485

    Why is it good when you adopt a baby that isn't yours, but bad if it's yours and you don't give birth to it?

    486

    Why is it that you can only remember my first name when we're making love?

    487

    Why should they eat their sixty acres, when man is condemned to eat only his peck of dirt?

    488

    Why would he need to lie when he could simply tell her that it didn't concern her?

    489

    Work continued on the nursery on weekends when Alex was home.

    490

    Yancey wasn't back yet when she left, but she didn't need his approval.

    491

    Yet when he spoke, his voice was decisive.

    492

    Yet when they brought her back, she was asleep.

    493

    You can look away when it actually happens but we have to get this guy before he kills another child.

    494

    You know, when Mary put in her untimely appearance.

    495

    You looked like a scared school girl out there when I found you.

    496

    You said he was fine when you came back upstairs!

    497

    You seemed to be enjoying it when I carried you across the creek.

    498

    You, poor thing! cannot even bleed when you are hurt.

    499

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

    500

    You're sure to like Billina, when you know her, asserted Dorothy.
