Next evening, Jenny arrived at our house, wearing a white dress, and with a pink flower in her hair

The cinema was not far from our house

It's a really pretty house with a big garden.

I was just thinking of getting out of there and having some breakfast when the President said, 'Boy, is that your stomach making that noise?' So I said, 'Yes,' and the President said, 'Well, come on, boy, let's go and get something to eat!' And I followed him into the house, and a waiter got us some breakfast.

Then, at about nine o'clock, a car stopped near the house and some people got out

I was sleeping on the floor of their house

I think about having a house and a family and things like that now

And one day I dressed in my best clothes and got the bus to Mobile, and I went to Jenny's Mom's house.

Through this program of action we address ourselves to putting our own national house in order and making income balance outgo

She needed the money to pay for a bed in the 'White House', her lodging house in Flower and Dean Street

Later that night she tried to get a bed at Cooley's lodging house in Thrawl Street, but she had to leave because she had no money

She also had a packing case business in the cellar at the back of the house

From Hanbury Street people entered the house through a door next to Mrs Hardiman's shop

John left the house and went to the market.

He was returning to the house when he heard a voice in the next yard say 'No'

She lived in a lodging house and paid eight pennies a night

But the week before her murder she was not at the lodging house

on September 8th Annie was in the kitchen of her lodging house, eating potatoes and talking with the other lodgers

Elizabeth sometimes stayed at a lodging house in Flower and Dean Street, where people called her Long Liz

on Saturday 29th, in the kitchen of the lodging house.

She was 42 and lived in a lodging house

At the time she was living at Cooley's lodging house in Thrawl Street

Sarah Lewis, the witness who passed Christ Church at 2.30 a.m., said she saw a man standing by a lodging house opposite Miller's Court

He lived at the Victoria Home, a workingmen's lodging house in Commercial Street, right in the middle of the murder area, and very near Goulston Street, where the piece of Eddowes's apron was found

On October 13th the police began to search every house in a certain radius of the crimes

'What about that one over there?' she said, pointing across the square to a small house beside the bishop's palace.

And your sister agrees with me that this house isn't safe

'This is not the house of a rich man,' he thought

Out of work, and with no food in the house, he had been arrested for trying to steal a loaf of bread

The house was silent

Early the next morning, while the bishop was studying the flowers in his garden, Mme Magloire ran out of the house with a look of alarm on her face.

Mme Thenardier still said nothing, but a man's voice from inside the house called, 'We'll take seven francs a month, and six months in advance.'

They made her get up before dawn every day and do all the dirty jobs around the house, while Eponine and Azelma wore pretty clothes and played with dolls

A few evenings later, while he was giving Cosette a reading lesson in his room, Valjean heard the front door of the house open and close

Gillenormand ordered Marius to leave his house.

He found that she lived in a small house at the quiet end of the rue de l'Ouest

One evening, having followed them to the house and watched them enter, he went in after them and spoke to the concierge

Every night he stood outside their house and gazed up at their lighted windows

The next day they did not go to the Gardens, so again Marius went to the house as night was falling

Miserably, he turned back to the house

That evening, Cosette was alone in the house which Jean Valjean had bought about a year earlier

It was a small house in a back street, with a large, wild garden

During that month of May in the year 1832, Cosette and Marius met every day in the wild garden of that small, secret house

Marius left his grandfathers house in a state of despair, and returning to his room, fell asleep fully-dressed on the bed

At nine o'clock that evening, Marius crept into the garden of Cosette's house, but she was not there waiting for him as she had promised

Looking up, he saw that there were no lights on in the house and that all the windows were closed

Unable to control himself, he beat his fists against the walls of the house.

My dearest, We are leaving this house at once

She had not wanted to leave the house, but she had eventually obeyed him

In their new house, they went to bed in silence

My dearest, We are leaving this house at once

Jean Valjean went back into the house and tried to make sense of the words that danced before his eyes: I shall die..

Half an hour later he left the house, dressed in his National Guard uniform, with a loaded gun and a pocket full of gunpowder, and made his way towards the market district of Paris.

Valjean, his gun in one hand, pulled Javert behind him over the barricade and into a narrow alley, where the corner of a house hid them from view

Valjean looked desperately around him, at the house opposite, the barricade, the ground

My body must be taken to the house of my grandfather, M

Gillenormand's house, a servant answered the door.

Javert, Valjean and the driver carried Marius into the house and laid him gently on a sofa in M

Valjean went into his house and called, 'It's me!' Climbing the stairs, he paused for a moment to look out of the window to see what Javert was doing

All he knew was that he had been brought to his grandfather's house in a carriage

Gillenormand's house

Gillenormand's house for the wedding feast

Gillenormand's house, and asked to speak to Marius in private

When Valjean did not appear for the second evening, Cosette sent a servant to his house to ask if he was well

He did not return to the house again, and Cosette was too busy with married life to think too much about him

She did not realize that, every evening, Valjean would walk slowly from his house until he reached the corner of the street where she lived

He would then stare at the house for several minutes, tears rolling down his cheeks, before turning round and slowly returning home.

"Oh I say," answered Little Red Riding Hood; "it is beyond that mill you see there, at the first house in the village."

It was not long before the wolf arrived at the old woman's house

"My house? My money? You robbed my house?"

Why? Because of the money, the house, the cars

Is she crazy or just terrified? "Miss Thornton, if this man enters your house, we can arrest him

The creek is twenty metres from the farm house, and the evening seems to be alive with insects and birds that live in the trees near the green water.

With fire? How? She locks him in a room in a burning house?"

Then she returns to the house

On Wednesday the fifth of January Mrs Dawson went to the house of her sister, the defendant, Miss Lee

You are here because when Miss Lee saw her younger sister, she took a pair of scissors from her kitchen table, said something to her sister and left the house

She stopped twice: once at the house of one of Mrs Dawson's friends and once at a local pub

You know you are still in your bed, still in your house, still in your quiet street in the north of Manchester

A dog outside in the street? The alarm of a car? A baby crying in the next house?

Or something closer? Something inside the house? The sound of breaking glass? The noise of the front door opening? A voice in the dark?

Yes, outside the house the streets are silent

The street is silent and the house is too

Because you know now that someone is in your house.

Someone who thinks they can enter your house in the middle of the night!

But this is your house, and you know you must stay!

Content with his job, his life, his expensive house and his two expensive cars.

"Wild roses used to grow near our house, when I was young," she told Sala

"Your house near the beach?" said Sala

We have a very nice house near the ocean and there are wild roses in the garden, just as there were when we were young

You must have heard of it - a beautiful old house in the west of England

'An empty house, even a very beautiful one, can be lonely,' de Winter said.

He did not talk about his life there, but about the house itself

It was so near that the sound of its waters could always be heard from the house

He can't live in that empty house without Rebecca

Mrs Danvers looks after the house

We were going along the drive now that led up to the house

We were not far from the house now

The old house was perfect

Smooth green lawns surrounded the house

I have been looking after the house for the past year

'Mr de Winter said you would rather be on this side of the house

I felt happier as I walked through the house with Maxim

He was comfortable, the master of his house

The house telephone is there too, if you want to talk to Mrs Danvers.'

The mistress of the house would come in and find me, a stranger, sitting at her desk.

'I'm speaking to you on the house telephone.'

I knew then that I had walked right round the house

'The house is beautiful, of course

At that moment, the men came out of the house

We turned and walked back into the house.

At the edge of the woods was a low stone building, a cottage or a boat-house

It comes from the house.'

The grass round the little house had grown very long

Another door at the end of the room led into a small boat-house

He walked straight into the house and spoke to Frith.

'She looked after everything in the house, too,' I said

Later that afternoon, Frank Crawley came up to the house.

It was a beautiful little cupid and one of the loveliest things in the house

There was a sound in the boat-house and Jasper ran up to the doorway, barking angrily.

The house stood there, safe and secure

'Dear old Manderley,' Favell said as we walked out of the house

I walked slowly back to the house

Had Favell known Rebecca? What had he been doing in the west wing? There were some very valuable things in the house

The house seemed very quiet as I began to walk up the stairs

I did not feel like sitting in the house by myself

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

Slowly, the great house began to change

I had never seen the old house looking so lovely.

Maxim and I went back to the house after lunch

Every window of the house was coloured by the falling lights

I walked slowly into the house

I walked out of the house and on to the lawn

I looked back at the house

I went through the house, along the dark silent corridor of the west wing to Rebecca's room

He wants to be alone in the house again, with her.'

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

The house looked very peaceful

I went through the house and into the library

She was always going to his house and asking him to her cottage.

Maxim and I stayed quietly in the house or in the gardens

'Do you mind leaving the house?' said Maxim coldly

'I've already asked you to leave the house,' Maxim said

As we drove away, I looked back at the house

Then we were round the bend of the drive and I could see the house no longer.

We reached Baker's house at about five o'clock

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

Colonel Julyan's sister lived in London and he asked Maxim to take him to her house.

The gardens had gone and the dark woods came up to the walls of the house.

Tonight he is at a house in the Hollywood Hills

The people in the house are having a party

That night, Natalie Nevons arrives at Zak Wakeman's house in the Hollywood Hills.

This time, he is going to steal from Zak Wakeman's house

He is watching Natalie Nevons go into the house.

She is coming out of the house

Two blocks from her house, intending to buy a quart of milk and a loaf of whole-wheat bread, Tina stopped at a twenty-four-hour market and parked in the dry yellow drizzle of a sodium-vapor light, beside a gleaming, cream-colored Chevrolet station wagon

Hers was a modest ranch house in a quiet neighborhood

Tina Evans sat straight up in bed, certain that she had heard a noise in the house

This wasn't the first night she'd been wrongly convinced that an intruder was prowling the house

Her obsessive fear of intruders in the house, her disquieting dreams about Danny, her renewed grief - all of those things might grow from her concern about Magyck! If that were the case, then those symptoms would disappear as soon as the fate of the show was evident

Something had fallen over in another part of the house

Someone actually was in the house.

What if they came, lights flashing and sirens screaming - and found no one? If she had summoned the police every time that she imagined hearing a prowler in the house during the past two weeks, they would have decided long ago that she was scramble-brained

She would search the house herself, alone.

Tina searched the entire house, except for Danny's old room, but she didn't find an intruder

A little more than a year before he had died, Danny had begun sleeping at the opposite end of the small house from the master bedroom, in what had once been the den

In spite of what she had heard, she was alone in the house.

Someone had come into the house while she was out and had printed those two words on the chalkboard again

The only other person who had a right to be in the house was the cleaning woman, Vivienne Neddler

There was no sign that anyone had broken into the house, no obvious evidence of forced entry, and Michael was the only other person with a key

Vivienne Neddler parked her vintage 1955 Nash Rambler at the curb in front of the Evans house, being careful not to scrape the whitewalls

She got out of the car and, carrying a purse the size of a small suitcase, marched up the walk toward the house, angling away from the front door and past the garage.

Beside the front walkway and then along the side of the house, low-voltage landscape lighting revealed the path.

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.

The house was silent except for the softly humming refrigerator.

Some people for whom she cleaned house insisted that she keep regularly scheduled appointments, and they did a slow burn if she showed up more than a few minutes late

As she was mopping the last corner of the kitchen floor, as she was thinking about how dreary life would be without her friends and her slot machines, she heard a sound in another part of the house

After a long silence, a brief clattering echoed through the house from another room, startling Vivienne

If she phoned for them and then ran out of the house, they might not find an intruder when they came

An earthquake? But she hadn't felt the house move; the windows hadn't rattled

Whenever the military exploded a high-yield weapon, the tall hotels swayed in Vegas, and every house in town shuddered a little.

Besides, the house hadn't shuddered just a minute ago; only the photos had been affected.

A burst of high-pitched electronic noise blared through the house: Aiii-eee..

But the Evans house didn't have an alarm system.

It seemed to be coming from every corner of the house.

The air was cooler in the hallway than it was in the rest of the house

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

But how was that possible? How in the name of God could there be ice here, in a well-heated house and on a night when the outside temperature was at least twenty degrees above the freezing point?

Helen Mainway chattered excitedly about the spectacular special effects, and Elliot Stryker had an endless supply of compliments as well as some astute observations about the technical aspects of the production, and Charlie Mainway poured a third bottle of Dom PS 233; rignon, and the house lights came up, and the audience reluctantly began to leave, and Tina hardly had a chance to sip her champagne because of all the people who stopped by the table to congratulate her.

The skirts of the night were gathered around the Evans house, rustling in a dry desert wind.

Inside, the house was mostly silent

No one was in the house to hear it.

She had to know if he'd been in the house, in Danny's room, without her knowledge or permission.

And if Michael had slipped into the house like a little boy playing a cruel prank, if he had written that message on the chalkboard, then his hatred of her was far greater than she had thought

Fuming, Tina went through the house, meticulously checking every window and door

"Vandals were in my house last night," Tina said.

At last, she said, "Some strange things have been happening at the house."

He truly seemed unaware of what had happened at the house

"Someone has been breaking into the house."

Honey, you don't need a story about someone breaking into the house

She said, "I didn't make up that story about someone breaking into the house just so you could play the strong, reliable man to my weak, frightened female

"So I'm not a giver, huh? Then who gave you the house you're living in? Huh? Who was it had to move into an apartment when we separated, and who was it kept the house?"

You know damn well the down payment for the house came out of my earnings

Besides, Angela couldn't have broken into the house

But how could any stranger so easily gain entrance to both her house and the hotel computer? Didn't he, after all, have to be someone she knew?

Besides, to properly watch your house..

Elliot Stryker lived in a large, pleasant, contemporary house overlooking the golf course at the Las Vegas Country Club

As he showed her through the house, he was eager to hear her reaction to it, and she didn't make him wait long.

For five or six months, I was an emotional wreck because every object in the house reminded me of Nancy

Finally I took a few mementos, a dozen pieces by which I'll always remember her, and I moved out, sold the house, bought this one, and started decorating all over again."

He showed her through the rest of the house, which she wanted to see

Unsuccessfully trying to shrug off the grim premonition, he went into the house.

The party was at a large Tuscan-style house, halfway up the slopes

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

Approximately two hundred guests danced or milled about behind the house, and another hundred partied within its twenty rooms.

Elliot didn't want to ask Kennebeck for a favor within hearing of a dozen lawyers, and today there was nowhere in the house where they could be assured of privacy

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

As they approached the house, they talked about the delights of pasta served with a thin, light sauce of olive oil, garlic, and sweet basil.

She must have seen this lurid cover illustration when Danny had first brought the magazine into the house

We need to check our lines where they come into your house."

But we're trying to check every house

It's a little bit like our house

Bob was already out of the kitchen, in the dining room, running toward the front of the house

By the time, Elliot reached the front door and rushed out of the house, Bob had run the length of the driveway and crossed the street

He hurried back to the house.

The gas company workman called from the front of the house, startling Tina.

Still carrying the magazine, she rushed through the house, past the kitchen, into the laundry room

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 watched, stunned, as flames leaped from a window of the house and ignited dry palm fronds on a nearby tree.

"But my house is on fire!"

He grabbed her arm, swung her away from the burning house, the sight of which affected her as much as if it had been a hypnotist's slowly swinging pocket watch.

Tina looked out the side window, watching in disbelief as the flames spread from the shattered garage roof to the main roof of the house, long tongues of lambent fire, licking, licking, hungry, bloodred in the last orange light of the afternoon.

As Elliot drove away from the burning house, his instinctual sense of danger was as sensitive as it had been in his military days

Tina had been looking back at her house

Stupefied by the unexpected violence, by the loss of her house, and by her close brush with death, she had seemed to be in a trance; now she had snapped out of it

At the fifth house on the left, the garage door was open, and there wasn't a car inside.

The door that connected the garage to the house opened without warning, but with a sharp, dry squeak of unoiled hinges.

Several blocks to the north, an ugly column of smoke rose into the twilight sky from what was left of Tina's house, roiling, night-black, the upper reaches tinted around the edges by the last pinkish rays of the setting sun.

While Elliot drove, he told Tina what had happened at his house: the two thugs, their interest in the possibility of Danny's grave being reopened, their admission that they worked for some government agency, the hypodermic syringes...

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

"We've got proof that something unusual is happening: the silencer-equipped pistol I took off Vince, your house blowing up..

In the rush to get out of her house before the gas explosion leveled it, he hadn't noticed that she'd been carrying anything

my house being blown up..."

It was ludicrous to suspect any of them of being employed by the secret organization that had blown up her house

"First of all," Elliot said, "before he went into the mountains with Jaborski, in all the years you knew him and lived in the same house with him, did Danny ever show any signs of being psychic?"

He was carrying two books of the discount coupons that casinos use to pull slot-machine players into the house, and he wore a camera on a strap around his neck

He had thought Evans might be keeping a vigil at the demolished house, while the firemen sifted through the still-smoldering debris, searching for the remains of the woman they thought might be buried there

Perhaps Evans didn't know about the explosion at his former house

"I just spoke with the men who're watching Stryker's house," Alexander said

Right here in this house

It was an immense, pseudo-Colonial house, perched prominently on top of a hill, on a three- or four-acre property, and conveniently next door to a large, nondenominational cemetery

A low stonewall and a line of house-high spruce separated the cemetery from Luciano Bellicosti's property

The rear of Bellicosti's house was almost a hundred yards away

A few evergreen shrubs were clustered near the house, but none was of sufficient size to conceal a man

Consequently, their attention would be focused largely on the front of the house.

He motioned for Tina to stay behind him, close to the house

At least one killer would be in the house with Bellicosti's corpse

He slammed the car door and ran to a row of evergreen shrubs that bordered the front lawn of a low, brick, ranch-style house

She pulled the cap off the red felt-tip pen that Elliot had purchased at the hotel newsstand just before they'd caught a taxi to Sandstone's house

After leaving Billy Sandstone's house in his Explorer, Tina and Elliot had not returned to the hotel

They hadn't seen a house or other structure for two miles

"The government wouldn't go to all the trouble of hiding this joint out here just to house a handful of researchers or whatever

In spite of its tremendous weight, it moved more smoothly and easily than an average door in an average house

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

But he liked me, and when I was twelve, I moved to Uncle Elias's house

I could go anywhere in the house

But there was one small room at the top of the house which was always locked

My brother, your father, will have all my money and my house after my death, and you will have it all when he dies

Then one night he drank very heavily and ran wildly out of the house, and in the morning we found him dead in a river

'After my uncle's death, my father moved into the house

'But I've tried to forget, and I've lived alone in that house for nearly three years now

'He came to me for help and those men murdered him! I'm going to find them, if it's the last thing I do!' he said to me, and he hurried out of the house.

But the truth is that I am fighting down the feeling that a stranger has broken into the house and is in my bedroom

He at least seemed to understand what I said, and told me he would pick me up and take me to my brother's house.

He lives in our grandfather's old house on the hill behind the factory.'

But there was no possible doubt because the fingerprints of his left hand were the same as those found all over his laboratory and up at the house.

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

It was the first time he told me about his experiments and he came running into the house and threw the ashtray into my hands.

'And I remember your friend, Professor Augier, saying that the only possible explanation was that the stones had been disintegrated outside the house, had then come through the walls, and been reintegrated before hitting the floor or opposite walls

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

He looks in every room of the house.

'I am sorry that I am so useless at taking care of the house,' said my wife, whose name is Griselda

It's so mysterious, isn't it, the way she suddenly rented a house here, and hardly ever goes outside it? It's like a detective story

It really is stupid - I go on the beach in my bathing dress, but now father won't allow Lawrence into the house

We walked down the road, which went past her house

'In the kitchen - at the other side of the house.'

Because when that clock said twenty past six it was really only five minutes past, and at five minutes past I don't suppose Colonel Protheroe had even arrived at the house.'

Your maid said that Mr Redding was only in the house for two minutes

Haydock's house is next door to mine

'The kitchen is on the other side of the house,' I said

'A few minutes before I got to the house.'

'But Mr Redding did not come to the house yesterday?' said Melchett.

Your house is next door to the vicarage so perhaps you saw something that would help us.'

Mrs Protheroe then went into Miss Hartnell's house to borrow a gardening magazine

No one locks their house up round here.'

'Do you mind, Mrs Protheroe, just showing us exactly what you did?' Inspector Slack pushed open the glass doors, and she stepped outside and walked round the house to the left

'Who lives in the other house next door?' the colonel suddenly asked.

We went up to the neat front door of Mrs Price Ridley's house and the inspector rang the bell

'I was telephoned in my own house and insulted!'

On my way home, Dr Haydock stopped his car beside me just outside his house

In this house.'

So we walked together to her house

'It shows that call was made deliberately to get you out of the house

You remember Mrs Price Ridley's complaint about that call to her house?'

For some reason she can't leave her house

I told of my appointment with Protheroe and the phone call asking me to go to the Abbotts' house

'That means that the murderer must have been inside this house - perhaps even had a drink with me.'

'I have never been in a house where they had a murder,' Mary said

'Do you mean that Miss Protheroe came to this house?'

'I am sleeping very badly just now, and at about three o'clock this morning I thought I heard someone moving about the house

Old Hall goes to me, but Lettice can choose enough furniture for a small house, and she will have enough money to buy one.'

So I went with Miss Marple into her house and telephoned Inspector Slack.

Please, dear Vicar, could you come to my house this afternoon and help me?

I went to Miss Hartnell's house first

And it is not true that she was in the house

'So I went round the house and knocked on the windows

And I looked through them as well, but there was no one in the house.'

Mrs Price Ridley said very slowly, 'She heard a sneeze on the day of the murder at a time when there was no one in your house

I decided to visit Dr Haydock and went down the road to his house.

'Oh, yes! When we lived in Westmorland, I had a surgery not far from his house

And on the evening of the murder she was here, in this house.'

'In her own house?'

Goodnight, Mr Clement.' And she went quickly across the lawn towards her house.

She's been Archer's girlfriend for a long time, and she was alone in the house when it happened! And then, of course, there was Lettice - wanting freedom and money to do as she liked

Then she went round the corner of the house to the study window

I have also decided that since now I'm going to be a real "wife and mother" I must look after the house as well

He watched until one, and then we lit the lamp and walked over to his house.

I think they understood that nothing could be done for the moment, and had gone away to have breakfast at Henderson's house

I failed to find Lord Hilton at his house, but was told he was expected from London by the six o'clock train

Three went through the open doors of the Oriental College and two began running from house to house

I drove the cart down the road and, leaving it with my wife and servant, rushed into the house and packed a few valuables

He was going from house to house, warning people to leave.

He turned, stared, shouted something about 'crawling out in a thing like a dish cover', and moved on to the gate of the next house

At first I thought it was the wet roof of a house, but the lightning flashes showed that it was moving quickly down Maybury Hill

Staying in the wood, I moved towards my own house

I walked up the narrow road towards my house

I let myself into my house and locked the door, walked to the bottom of the stairs and sat down, shaking violently.

He stopped for a moment, then walked across to the house.

'Come into the house,' I said.

The soldier agreed with me that the house was not a good place to stay in

Then we left the house and ran as quickly as we could down the narrow road

My brother was not worried about us, as he knew from the description in the papers chat the cylinder was three kilometres from my house

They did this to the black clouds near us, as we saw in the starlight from the upper window of an empty house

All through this time I and the curate had been hiding in the empty house where we went to escape the Black Smoke

After trying and failing to keep him quiet, I kept away from him in other rooms in the house.

There were signs of people in the next house on Sunday evening - a face at a window and moving lights, and later the closing of a door

The Black Smoke moved slowly towards the river all through Monday morning, slowly getting nearer and nearer to us, coming at last along the road outside the house that hid us.

The top of a Martian fighting-machine came into sight over the house tops, less than a hundred metres away from us

'It's hit this house and buried us under the ruins!'

The fifth cylinder had not fallen on our house, but on top of the house next door

Our house had fallen backwards

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

He ate more than I did, and did not seem to understand that we had to stay in the house until the Martians had finished their work if we wanted to stay alive

I broke into the house - and afterwards found that the front door was unlocked

After checking the sky for Martians, we hurried quickly to the house on Putney Hill where he had his hiding-place.

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

I think it's time we looked around from the top of the house.'

We went back down into the house

At first I thought a house had fallen across the road, but when I climbed up on the ruins I saw, with a shock, this great machine lying, with its tentacles bent and twisted, among the ruins that it had made

It seemed that it had been driven blindly straight at the house, and had been turned over when the house fell on it.

Then I found myself in a house of kind people, who had found me

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

A man standing at the open door of a house greeted me by name as I passed

I looked at my own house with a quick flash of hope that died immediately

I went into the hall, and the house felt empty

'The house is deserted,' said a voice

I sit in my study writing by lamplight, and suddenly I see the valley below on fire again, and feel that the house around me is empty and lonely

We rented a nice house in the country near Norbury

There is an inn and two houses near our house, and a single cottage across the field in front of our house

'Anyway, I told you that there is a cottage near our house

I walked closer to the house, but the face suddenly disappeared.

I walked into the house and found no one, but upstairs I found a comfortable room, and on the mantelpiece stood a full-length photograph of my wife

That was when her husband saw her coming out of the house

Fortunately for her, her maid warns her that her husband is coming, and she and her blackmailers leave the house in time.

After tea we received a message from Mr Munro saying, 'There are people in the house.'

We did not say another word about the case until late that night at Holmes' house in Baker Street, just before Holmes went to bed.

When Uncle Podger did a job, everybody in the house helped

It will be like a little house, warm and comfortable.'

That morning, Montmorency invited two of his friends to the house

We left the lock-keeper's place and we found some water at another house.

Each house is covered with roses

She heard Mercy having a bath, then getting ready to leave the house

A big car arrived outside the house, a huge machine from the white man's land

After they had gone a mile or so from the house, the man started a conversation.

In a short while, Mercy left the house to go and live in the government house that Mensar-Arthur had managed to get for her.

Mercy would move back to the house, perhaps find a man who was more - ordinary, let's say

Then there was the sound of a car stopping outside the house

One evening in July 1849, I went to see my mother and sister at their house on Hampstead Heath

It was past midnight when I left their house to walk home to my apartment in London

Six lonely months have passed, and I am with dear Laura once more, but we now live at Blackwater Park, Sir Percival's house in Hampshire

It is a big old house, surrounded by trees

'You're just a guest in this house!'

After that, I thought about Walter often, especially on the nights when Percival left me alone and went to parties with the people from the opera house.'

He took her back to the house and shut her in her room

I walked up to Percival and said, 'You can't keep your wife as a prisoner in her own house! There are laws in England to protect women from cruelty and injustice!'

I can't stay in a house where women are treated like this.'

Count Fosco and the Countess will soon go to their new house in London, and I'll go to Paris

You'll stay to manage the house while I'm away.'

He'll meet you at the station and take you to his house.'

I am the cook at Count Fosco's house in London

First I went to my mother's house

Mrs Michelson told me that Laura had gone to London, where she'd become ill and died! This terrible news made me ill again, and I was unable to leave that house for another three weeks

I found two apartments in the same house in London

The next day I went to Mrs Catherick's house in the village by Blackwater Park

When I left her house, I saw two men following me, but I did not care

I went to the house of the old parish clerk's son and asked if I could see his father's copy of the register for 1803

We have moved to a new house

The next day he came to my house to say that he had changed his mind

When I got to our new house, Marian and Laura were waiting for me

Marian had told Laura that we had moved to a new house because it was in a nicer part of London

'Yesterday, I looked out of the window in our old house, and I saw the Count standing outside with the doctor from the asylum! Then they went away

But, when he and the doctor were outside the house, the Count changed his mind and sent the doctor away, saying that he'd been mistaken.'

But I prefer not to, because I don't want to cause you pain, Miss Halcombe." As soon as he left, I decided to take this new house.'

We lived quietly in our new house

I asked him some questions about the time when Anne Catherick's mother had worked at his house

At the beginning of May, I began watching the Count's house

One evening he got into a cab and told the driver to go to the opera house

I took a cab to my friend Pesca's house and asked him to come to the opera with me

As I was leaving our house, Marian touched my arm

When I've given you the confession and the proof you ask for, the Countess and I will leave this house without any interference from you.'

At eight o'clock the messenger went to Pesca's house

She taught at a school and also worked as a private teacher - she taught children in someone's house

Her father had a small business, and they lived in a large house

In many parts of the world, women cannot work outside of the house, or cannot work where they want to

Then she runs into the house

Suddenly a young Spanish soldier enters the house

Don't touch Lolita! Leave this house immediately!"
