It is small, so small, and it reminds him of his prison cell back in The Joy

Soon he can stop, find a quiet area off the road and push back the chair and sleep

No, this is his holiday, his escape from all those idiots back in California

He wants to turn to look back to see if the man is following him, but he does not dare

Now everything from last night is coming back to him

And he pushes through the snow, and he thinks that maybe, if he can get to the sound, he can flee into the mountains and never come back.

He's in the back room of the cabin."

Then the woman turns and moves back into the trees

"I already did" she calls back to him as she slowly disappears from sight.

"Well, we might need to talk to you again at another time," Smith says and turns to go back to the courtyard

Owen looks back at the car and hopes that no one can see it from the main road

We don't want to carry a deer back to the car: someone might see us."

If you have no gun, then there is no problem; we can come back for the gun another day

And don't forget there are two shots and that I should empty the gun before I give it back to you."

He laughs and turns back to Junior to tell him to stay calm.

Hank Wynn stops talking and puts his cigar back in his mouth

Then he laughs, and the two assistants laugh, and then the back of Hank's hand slaps Jimmy's face hard

The woman had already jumped back onto the speeding walkway

Her back was often painful from when she'd been injured during the Oil Wars, so she almost never left the apartment these days.

The color was beginning to come back into Gran's face now

We can get what you paid for this back, I'm sure..."

When she came back to their table, Cham was watching something on the ultranet.

"Sorry," said Cham, looking back at Sala hurriedly

Sala went back down to her room and sent Cham a message.

Then you get it all back as energy units when you come out

Then he threw back his head and laughed

But as she stepped off the walkway, she felt a hand touching her back.

The dolphin whistled again, then turned away, its back making an arch in the water

Sala and Cham swam with them for a while - further out into the ocean first and then back toward the beach

Sala rolled onto her back and lay floating, staring up at the sky

Sala did the same with another dolphin and they had a lot of fun, diving down through the water and back up to the surface with a splash.

Your pod is about to move back into a vertical position."

"You're back

She was back

She wished they could just go back to normal now

When Sala arrived home, Mom was back from work, and Apat and Gran were there, too

Sala closed her eyes and kissed him back

Only parents and close relations are allowed beyond this point, so Kaz here is going to take you back."

Sala touched Cham's hand with a sad smile, then followed Kaz back to the entrance

At last, Cham came back through the doors with Leti and his parents

and anyway, maybe she would come back with exciting news for everyone.

Was this a trap? Where were they going? But the woman didn't look back; she wasn't going to wait

The woman wore a bright yellow bag on her back, so at least she was easy enough to follow, but she walked rapidly, and Sala was soon breathless.

In one corner, the woman was taking the yellow hag off her back

She was over an hour late for meeting him at the simulator center, and because her ultranet connection didn't come back on until she was almost there, she couldn't even call him or send him a message

The whole way back from the earth apartment, Sala had been asking herself if it was OK to tell Cham about the rebellion

They walked back to the simulator center and spent an hour together alone in Space 29, where they chose their waterfall illusion

She looked exhausted at first; but the light came back into her eyes as Sala began to talk about her meeting with Wena.

"Don't worry," he whispered back

"Oh, yes, don't mind me." But Gran was rubbing her back, where she'd been injured years ago

This is our future, isn't it? There's no point in sitting back, just waiting for it to happen."

Did she dare go back to the earth apartment? What if Cham was warning her for a reason?

The door of the apartment opened and Apat came in, back from visiting a friend for dinner.

The dog looked back at us

'Has he gone back to the Happy Valley?' I asked.

'Come back,' Maxim said sharply, 'we don't want to go that way.'

I looked back, but I could not see Maxim

'I must take him back.'

She won't come back, will she?'

'She won't come back.'

He turned away and walked back towards the sea.

'I was a fool to bring you back to Manderley.'

I tried to keep back my tears

The colour had come back into it

I could not forget his words: 'I was a fool to bring you back to Manderley.'

'Perhaps I'll come back and see you one day

Mrs Danvers came back from the window and stood beside me.

Mrs Danvers put the slippers back under the chair and walked across the room to a large wardrobe.

The wind was blowing harder, and still she had not come back.

Mrs Danvers' hand fell back to her side.

'Mr de Winter will be back at about six this evening,' Frith told me.

Maxim would not be back for another hour

When I came back from my walk, I saw Maxim's car standing in front of the house

We had to go back into the house to welcome the visitors

Maxim and I went back to the house after lunch

I brushed back my own straight hair

Then I ran from her, back to my room, tripping and nearly falling over my long skirt.

I walked back to the dressing-table and looked at my white face and red eyes in the mirror

I put the white dress and the wig back into the box

I lay back and closed my eyes.

Perhaps Maxim had left me and would never come back

I looked back at the house

One of the shutters in the west wing had been pulled back

I walked back across the lawn

The shutter was folded back

Do you think his pain and unhappiness will bring Mrs de Winter back?'

I'm going back to the bay to see if I can do anything.'

Mrs Danvers moved back from the window.

She turned her back on me and went along the corridor

What are you going to do? Can I walk back with you to the house?'

She won't come back, will she?'

As I sat drinking my tea, Robert came back into the room.

After dinner, we went back into the library as usual

Very soon Maxim will be back, I thought

I took the roses back into the morning-room

He told me he was bringing Colonel Julyan and Frank back for lunch.

The Colonel stopped suddenly as Maxim came back into the hall.

When they had gone, he came back to me on the terrace.

And it will never come back

He was back again in a moment.

'Maxim has told me to take you back to Manderley.' Frank helped me to get up.

Then we were back at Manderley.

'I shall go back

Maxim may want me.' He got quickly back into the car again and drove away.

What were they all saying now? What was happening? What would I do if Frank came back to Manderley without Maxim? I thought again of that dreadful word - murder

We'll talk about everything when I get back

'Bring him in here, please, Frith.' I hoped that Favell would go before Maxim came back

'Max will be back for dinner, I'm sure.'

It will be better if you come back in the morning.'

I'm leaving London now and going back to Manderley

Favell put the note back in his pocket.

I'd never come back, I promise you.'

Maxim came back again into the room.

Ben shook his head and moved back against the wall

Mrs Danvers came back with a small book in her hand.

'There's a telephone number here at the back,' she said

As we drove away, I looked back at the house

She took us into a cool room at the back of the house

But then, a few weeks ago, she had begun to slip back into the dreadful condition in which she'd wallowed immediately after she'd received news of the accident

She half convinced herself that the dream was a premonition of Danny's eventual return to her, that somehow he had survived and would be coming back into her arms one day soon.

As her heartbeat slowed, she eased back onto her pillow.

When Danny was six months old, Tina went into training to get back in shape, and after three arduous months of exercise, she won a place in the chorus line of a new Vegas spectacle

Of course, if the production was a flop, if it failed to please the audience, she might be back working the small lounges again, on her way down

Holding the pistol in front of her, she approached the closet, hesitated, then slid the door back

She quickly slid the door shut and put her back against it.

She turned and looked back at the Golden Pyramid Hotel-Casino

A chill swept down her back.

Last night, after drinking the bourbon, had she come back here in some kind of fugue and...?

Once she had gotten through the premiere of Magyck! She had better start cutting back on the booze

Waitresses, waiters, and captains rushed back and forth to fill the drink orders before the show began

As Vivienne reached the back of the house, the crescent moon slid out from behind one of the few thin clouds, like a scimitar being drawn from a scabbard, and the pale shadows of palms and melaleucas shivered on the lunar-silvered concrete patio.

All four of the remaining photos were swinging back and forth on the picture hooks that held them

She put them back where they belonged, then slid the sofa into place.

The wisest thing she could do would be to turn back, walk away from the door and out of the house

Her shoulder-length hair - deep brown, almost black, glossy - swept across her brow, feathered back at the sides, and framed her face as though it were a painting by a great master

The legs at the foot rose three or four inches before crashing back into the casters, that had been put under them to protect the carpet

And maybe he was coming back, haunting the place.

Sooner or later word of her ranting's about poltergeists might get back to her daughter in Sacramento, and then the pressure to move to California would become unbearable

Tina mingled, moving back and forth, upstage and downstage, through the crowd, thanking everyone for his contribution to the show's success, complimenting each member of the cast and crew on his dedication and professionalism

A couple of minutes later, having completed the call, Tina went back to Danny's room to survey the damage again

Hundreds of gamblers - pretty young women, sweet-faced grandmothers, men in jeans and decoratively stitched Western shirts, retirement-age men in expensive but tacky leisure outfits, a few guys in three-piece suits, salesmen, doctors, mechanics, secretaries, Americans from all of the Western states, junketeers from the East Coast, Japanese tourists, a few Arab men - sat at the semielliptical blackjack tables, pushing money and chips forward, sometimes taking back their winnings, eagerly grabbing the cards that were dealt from the five-deck shoes, each reacting in one of several predictable ways: Some players squealed with delight; some grumbled; others smiled ruefully and shook their heads; some teased the dealers, pleading half seriously for better cards; and still others were silent, polite, attentive, and businesslike, as though they thought they were engaged in some reasonable form of investment planning

And everywhere in the gigantic casino, there were cocktail waitresses in brief costumes, revealing long legs and cleavage; they bustled here and there, back and forth, as if they were the threads that bound the crowd together.

Halfway across the long room, they stopped at a clearing where a middle-aged man lay on his back, unconscious, in front of a blackjack table

He'll cover for me if I don't get back in time."

And now he actually thought that she was going to crawl back to him

I'm sorry, baby." His ingratiating, boyish grin was back

"You were wrong to think I'd come crawling back

You only give when you're sure of getting back twice as much

She walked back through the shopping arcade, rode the escalator up to the casino, and made her way through the noisy crowd to the front doors

She pulled the Honda back into traffic and headed for the Pyramid again.

Leaning back in her chair, Tina said, "Yes

Tina returned to her inspection of the carpenter's bill, and Angela was back at five minutes past four with thirty pages of data.

The group went into the mountains in a four-wheel-drive minibus built for use on back roads in the winter

From there they were going to hike for three days with snowshoes and backpacks, making a wide circle around the bus, coming back to it at the end of the week.

"Is it? I thought I'd begun to get over Danny's death back in September

She sank back on the sofa, slouched down

Anyway, Judge Kennebeck and I go back a long way

All the talk about death and fear and madness and pain seemed to have taken place further back in the past than a mere few seconds ago

I'll be back in five minutes, and then you'll see how a true culinary genius operates."

His hands moved over her, testing the firmness and resilience of her, and she touched him too, gently squeezing his shoulders, his arms, the hard muscles of his back

He carried her to the bed, put her down, and urged her to lie back

But Tina wanted to go back to her place and clean out Danny's room

A three-sided, fan-shaped tent had been erected on the back lawn, to one side of the sixty-foot pool, with the open side facing the house

In silence, they walked back to the house, where the party was getting louder by the minute.

"Ah." He pushed a curly strand of white hair back from his forehead

Besides, the two of them went back a long way indeed

A chill spread from the base of his spine, up his back, as he realized what the presence of these men implied about the accident that had killed Danny.

I was in Army Intelligence back when

"If you're working for a government intelligence agency, then go away and come back with the legal papers," Elliot said

Not much remained to be done: The contents of three cartons in the back of the deep closet had to be sorted

She stepped back from the cardboard box.

Then she opened it again and stepped back

"Well," she said, "I was cleaning the back room

Elliot had a pretty good idea of what it would feel like, and he was sweating under his arms and in the small of his back, but he didn't move, and he didn't respond to the stranger's taunting.

The big man's head snapped back, and Elliot chopped the exposed Adam's apple with the flat blade of his hand

Elliot stepped back.

He hurried back to the house.

Elliot checked his pulse and pulled back one of his eyelids

The vision was so vivid, so disturbing, that she and her husband raced back to the city that very night to have the grave reopened at dawn

You'll be back someday

She was back where she'd started.

She went back to the bed to have another look at the magazine, which she'd left there.

He put a hand against her back, gently but firmly urging her out of the foyer.

They hurried back the way they had come.

A blood-freezing image rose at the back of her mind: the house torn apart by a colossal blast, shrapnel of wood and glass and metal whistling toward her, hundreds of sharp fragments piercing her from head to foot.

But even as Tina looked from Elliot to the fire, before all of the shingles had fallen back to earth, a second explosion slammed through the house, and a billowing cloud of flame roared from one end of the structure to the other, bursting those few windows that had miraculously survived the first blast.

Tina had been looking back at her house

"Better back out," she said.

Behind him, Tina said, "Stand back."

She said, "Maybe we should go back to your place

Besides, if we go back to my house, we'll just be walking into the dragon's jaws

Elliot swung the car around and started back toward the lights of the city, which spread like a vast, glowing fungus on the black desert plain.

When he turned from the motor home, his gaze fell on a dense pool of shadows around the trash bin at the back of the restaurant, and again he had the feeling that someone was watching him from concealment.

She glanced back toward the car, a curious expression on her face.

She stayed a moment longer, staring back into the gloom, where the purple mercury-vapor light did not reach.

She blinked back tears and took a swallow of beer.

Ruby Ridge - a fourteen-year-old boy shot in the back by the FBI

If they had seen something, they'd have come back with at least a dozen different stories about it, none of them accurate

Killing all those people and trying to fake an accident - that was a whole lot riskier than letting the kids come back with their half-baked stories about seeing something peculiar in the mountains."

She sighed, slumped back in the booth.

"The only alternative is to give up, to back off and never know what really happened."

A sharp, cold draft prickled the back of her neck.

"There's a button on the back to reject the record."

As the white-haired cashier grasped the plug in his arthritis-gnarled hands and wiggled it back and forth in the wall socket, trying to free it, Tina almost told him to stop

"And it would be proof enough for you, if you'd had the same experience back there in the diner, if you'd felt what I felt

Danny said he was sure Elmer wasn't going to come back because he'd been hit and killed by a truck

He sighed, leaned back from her, and started the car

Evans turned, and Bruckster said, "I think maybe you dropped this back there."

His eyes rolled back in his head, and he fell.

As he gazed at the model, he wasn't transported back in time or lost in fantasies of high-seas adventure; rather, he was mulling over the recent developments in the Evans case

"I told you he wouldn't go back there."

"But that's what I've been trying to tell you," Kennebeck said, pushing a lock of snow-white hair back from his forehead

Fifteen minutes later computer operations called back with its report

The windshield wipers started thumping back and forth at top speed, adding their metronomical beat to the chaos inside the Chevy.

We've got a gauntlet to run before we can find him and bring him back

He went back to the computers, with which he felt comfortable and safe.

We're not going to make the same mistake they did and wind up back in their hands."

"I'm going to walk back to the funeral home

Even in the dim light, Elliot could see the fringe of icicles hanging from the roof of the long back porch

If anyone did glance out a back window, he would spot the two of them instantly.

Elliot wanted to take Tina by the arm and hustle her back to the car

He kept one hand on her back as she leaned toward the window, and he felt her go rigid when she glimpsed the dead man

He turned his back on the man whom he had killed.

When he was across the wall, he looked back, but he couldn't see anyone.

"Let's get back to the car

He didn't hear a shot, but a bullet shattered the rear side window behind his head and slammed into the back of the front seat, spraying gummy bits of safety glass through the car.

He glanced back.

"I'll fade back into the shrubbery and wait for them to come around the corner after us

Like an old athlete back on the playing field after a long absence, testing his reflexes, taking pride in the fact that his old skills are still there."

"I'm not sure yet." She threw back the covers and got out of bed

Abruptly her hand swung across the map, then back, then described a series of circles; the pen made meaningless scrawls on the paper

It flapped noisily to the other end of the room and then back again, finally falling like a dead bird onto the floor at Elliot's feet.

All Sandstone did was move one hand slowly back and forth in front of Tina's face, simultaneously speaking to her in a quiet, rhythmic voice, frequently using her name.

Coming back to the car might be it

Perhaps they would have been smarter to turn around, go back to Reno, find another hotel room, and get a fresh start in the morning

When they came out of this curve, the trees fell back from the verge, and open sky lay above for the first time since they had departed the county blacktop.

"We can still turn back," Tina said.

He got to his feet, took a coat from the back of his chair, slipped into it, zippered up, and came out of the shack

The Explorer dropped back to a safer speed.

Some bastard stabbed us in the back

God knows how far they cut back into the rock

He twisted around, leaned over the back of the seat, and quickly fetched the rope from the pile of outdoor gear in the cargo hold

Tina cringed back against the corridor wall.

She spun the wheel and located a pin that, when pushed, prevented anyone from turning the handle back to the unlocked position.

"Well, if you don't think I can, just sit back and listen

I'm going to cut up this next valley and then swing back around toward the installation and try to avoid some of these crosscurrents

"In the isolation chamber." Dombey indicated the window in the back wall of the room

Danny was in the bed, on his back

Putting one hand on the boy's back to press him against her, she discovered how shockingly spindly he was each rib and vertebra so prominent that she seemed to be holding a skeleton

"To understand that," Dombey said, "you have to go back twenty months

So in 1869 he came back to England and went to live in a large house in the country

I looked at the envelope, which had three Ks on the back

But he never came back

on the back, and five small orange pips

When he came back to England he was afraid

Of course the group wanted to get the papers back

In the evening, when he came back to Baker Street, he was tired, but pleased

He and his men are sailing back to Georgia, USA, now.'

Only one ship, the Star, was in the three ports at the right times, and this morning the Star left London to sail back to Georgia

I only get back to a more normal state when I recognize the voice at the other end and when I know what is wanted of me.

Watching my brother's back, I pushed the switch and the steel hammer shook slightly, then rose quickly

'All right, take me back to the house,' she said

I took her back and waited while she went up to her room

She came back some minutes later with a large brown envelope.

She went back upstairs without saying goodbye.

He put on another pair and walked back to the booth.

We went back into the other room.

I sent the servant down with some food, but she brought it back with a note she had found outside the laboratory door: DO NOT DISTURB ME, I AM WORKING.

Put the boy to bed and come back in an hour's time.

I went back to the house and put Henri to bed, then I returned to the laboratory where I found another note pushed under the door

Shaking with fear, I did as he asked, and in less than five minutes I was back

Helene, come back in the morning

I cried softly, imagining some horrible re-arrangement of Andre's face - perhaps his eyes where his ears should be, or his mouth at the back of his neck

You remember the ashtray? Perhaps if you had put it through again, it might have come out with the letters turned back the right way.'

Then I came back and pushed the first switch

When I left to go home, I looked back and saw her watching me with an anxious expression.

'Oh! I didn't mean I was going to put a knife in his back, though I'd thank anyone who did

Low Farm was nearly two miles away and I could not possibly get back by six-fifteen

So I told Mary that I would try to be back by six-thirty, and left.

Come back

I told him you would be back soon and that Colonel Protheroe was waiting in the study

Then Mary came to tell me that Griselda was back, so I went to the sitting room and told her everything

An hour later Griselda came back

'Lawrence must have put it back to 6.20 to give himself an alibi

He was called out to a patient, but he should be back by now

She went in by the back gate.'

But I suppose Colonel Protheroe wasn't there yet, because she came back almost immediately, and walked down to the studio.'

'Colonel Melchett's back,' said Mary

Then he went back to the vicarage and asked for the vicar at the front door

I thought that after we parted in the village, she must have come back here and - so I put the pistol in my pocket and left

To find this out, I came along the back road to the study

Mrs Protheroe came back through the glass door.

She arrived back by the 6.50 train.'

'But first, the vicar and I have a little job to do.' So we said goodbye to Miss Marple and walked back to the woods.

So we went back to the path and walked a little farther along it

'Because a short time afterwards she came back, and she didn't have the suitcase with her.'

So I went straight back into the Blue Boar and was lucky enough to see Dr Stone.

I began to walk back to the village and our local chemist, Mr Cherabim, joined me

When I got back to the vicarage, Griselda met me in the hall

I found her here when I came back from that inquest

I thought that the sounds came from up above but when I called up these stairs, "Is anybody there?" there was no answer, so I went back to bed

A picture was leaning against the wall with its back towards us

Then she threw it back to me.

'You mean that after he had been shown in, he went out again and came back later?'

'She came back from the inquest and found Lettice Protheroe here

So she must have come back on an earlier train.' She looked at me

Miss Marple handed me back the note

For the next ten minutes, they were careful to be seen by people in the village, then at last Mr Redding went back to the vicarage

So he came back here with Mr Hawes last night and, I think, managed to put some much stronger pills in Mr Hawes' box

The two men hurried back at once to the common, and found the cylinder still lying in the same position

Of course the two were quite unable to do anything, so they went back to the town again to get help

At about eleven, as nothing was happening, I walked back, full of such thoughts, to my home in Maybury.

He wanted a fence put up to keep the people back.

'Keep back! Keep back! '

'Keep those fools back,' said Ogilvy

I pressed back against the person behind me, and turned my head towards the Thing again

I half-turned, still keeping my eyes on the cylinder, from which other tentacles were now coming out, and began pushing my way back from the side of the pit

He got his shoulder and knee up, but again he seemed to slip back until only his head was visible

For a moment I wanted to go back and help him, but I was too afraid.

After I had turned, I did not dare look back.

I got back to lunch at about two, very tired because, as I have said, the day was extremely hot and dull

Then I went back and fetched the servant.

I explained quickly that I had to leave my home, and arranged to borrow the cart, promising to bring it back before midnight

I helped my servant into the back of the cart, then jumped up into the driver's seat beside my wife

If I had really understood the meaning of all the things I had seen, I would have gone back to join my wife in Leatherhead immediately

His back was hurt by the fall of a horse and he lay there for a long time

As the dawn grew brighter, we moved back from the window where we had watched and went very quietly downstairs.

Looking back, I saw the other Martians walking down the river-bank from the direction of Chertsey

Nothing more of the fighting was known that night, the night of my drive to Leatherhead and back.

They had gone back to their cylinders again, in the circle around Woking

'They are coming!' a policeman shouted back, banging on the door

He looked back and turned to join me.

Realizing from his face that a fight was unavoidable, and being a good boxer, my brother hit him hard and knocked him back onto the wheel of the cart.

'Let's go back to the cart,' said my brother, wiping the blood from his lip.

My brother looked back along the road

'Let's go back!' he shouted

They went back a hundred metres in the direction they had come

A number of people now, like my brother, were moving to the east, and some were even so desperate that they turned back towards London to get food

They saw the three thin figures separating and rising out of the water as they moved back towards the shore, and one of them raised the box that fired his Heat-Ray

As the Martian fell, the captain shouted and all the crowded passengers at the back of the steamer joined in

The Martian was thrown back by the violence of the explosion, and in another moment the burning wreckage, still moving forwards, had broken the Martian like something made of wood

I told the curate that I was going to look for food, and moved back into the kitchen again

After eating we went back to the hall, and I fell asleep

I crawled back into the kitchen and saw him lying down and looking out of the hole at the Martians.

In the back of the head, or body - I do not really know what to call it - there was a flat surface like the skin of a drum, which we now know worked as an ear

The arrival of a second fighting-machine made us move back out of the kitchen into the hall, because we were afraid that from that height the Martian might see us through the hole

At a later date we began to feel less in danger of being seen because the sunlight outside was very bright, but at first anything approaching the house drove us back into the hall in fear

However, despite the danger, we could not prevent ourselves from going back to look again and again

And suddenly I heard a shout and saw a long tentacle reaching over the shoulder of the machine to the little cage on its back

Instead of staying close and trying to move me away from the pit, the curate had gone back into the hall

I swung the hammer and hit him on the back of the head

I forced myself back into the hall

I could not stop myself - I moved to the door and looked back into the kitchen

I shut the door and moved back into the hall and tried to hide myself in the corner

Then I heard a faint metallic sound as the tentacle moved back across the kitchen floor

For a time it did not move, then it moved back through the door.

I moved forwards, saying, 'Good dog!' very softly, but it suddenly pulled his head back and disappeared.

Think of four or five of them with men inside, firing Heat-Rays back at the Martians!'

I also felt that it would be easier to get into the drain and dig back towards the house

We went back down into the house

He won most of the games, and when we did not want to play any more I went back up on the roof.

And as I looked at it, and realized that the shadows had been rolled back, and that people might still live in its streets, and that this dear city of mine might be once more alive and powerful again, I felt such emotion that I was very close to tears.

People who were still alive would start to return, and life would come back to the empty streets

I remember how bright that day seemed as I went sadly back to the little house in Woking - how busy the streets were, and how full of life
