How to use "man" in a sentence

About seventy metres ahead of me are a family of three people - a man, a woman and a young boy

The man gives me a bottle of water

I sit down and wait as a man jumps to the ground and walks towards me.

A second man gets out of the helicopter and they help me inside

'Where are we going?' I ask the second man.

A man who looks like a policeman is standing with two nurses in white coats on the hospital steps

The man walks in and introduces himself

3.45 pm I suddenly hear another man's voice

Farragut, the captain of the ship, was a strong and brave man

A short man in strange black clothes opened a secret door on the top of the ship

The tall man was calm and he spoke perfect English

No man in your world can ever see these things

I can only say that I was very interested in this strange man

Captain Nemo spoke to the short man in their strange language, then the short man left us

He said something to one of his men, and the man went downstairs quickly

"I have a man who needs help

Captain Nemo took me to a room where there was a man lying on a bed

There was blood on the bandages, and the man looked very sick

"What does it matter? A man will die

I did not want to say anything about the sick man, but I was curious

They were going to bury the dead man.

When we returned to the Nautilus, I told Captain Nemo that his man was safe where he was.

I did not see Captain Nemo for some days after the man's death

But I know one man who said he saw one."

One man went to open the door to the platform

As he opened it, a long thick tentacle of the giant squid came inside like a snake and pulled the man outside

We fought them with our axes, but the large one, the one with Captain Nemo's man in his tentacle, stood holding the man in the air

The man cried for help.

I thought Captain Nemo would save his man

He turned to help his own man, but it was too late

When we cleaned our faces and our eyes, the squid was gone, taking the man with it.

Captain Nemo was not the man I thought he was

I saw things that no man from my world will ever see

'You are old, Father William,' the young man said,

'You are old, Father William,' the young man said,

A man lives there

'But I don't want to meet a strange man,' said Alice.

'Stupid man!' shouted the Queen

There was the King and Queen, and a man with a very long knife in his hand.

'How can I cut off its head?' asked the man with the knife

'Oh, so you took it from somebody, you bad man,' said the King.

'I'm not a bad man!' the Mad Hatter cried

'I'm a good man, Sir...' the unhappy Mad Hatter began

'OK,' the man said.

Three days later, the man in the car came and got me out of school

The man in the car took me and Mom to the new high school

There, an old man with grey hair asked me lots of questions

The man in the car was a football coach called Fellers

The film was about a man and a woman, Bonnie and Clyde, and there was a lot of shooting and killing

'Last man to get to the practice field will get a ride there on my shoe!' he shouted at us

I lived in a room with a man called Curtis

I found a young man who was sitting in his room playing the harmonica.

Halfway out, I saw another man who was hurt

Two days later, I went back to the fish market and talked to a man who was selling shrimps.

A lot of army people were there, and they immediately started shaking my hand and telling me that I was a brave man and that they were pleased to meet me.

The President was a great big old man who talked like somebody from Texas, and there were a lot of people standing round him in the flower garden.

Then an army man started to read something, and everybody listened

At last the army man finished reading, and then the President came up and gave me the medal

It was in the afternoon, and the man behind the bar said, Jenny'll be here about nine o'clock.'

Then I met a man, and we came to Boston

He was a little man, and he was sitting on the floor with his eyes shut when we got to Jenny's flat.

And it was in the jungle that I met Big Sam - a man who taught me to play chess

'Jenny Curran?' a man's voice said

It started when I arm-wrestled a man in the bar, and won some money on a bet

Then one day a man called Mike came into the bar.

I was just walking out again when I saw a little old man who was playing chess with himself at a table near the door

It was time for me to get back to the bus station, but when I started to leave, the old man said, 'Why don't you sit down and finish this game with me?'

So I walked back to the hotel, and there was the little old man, still playing against himself

The old man's name was Mr Tribble

We were watching a man who was crashing through a window in a film fight, when a man walked over to us

But the other man was looking at me

'You are a big, strong man, aren't you?' he said

He was a big man, with long black hair, and he didn't want to lose!

I played two songs - and a man walked past and threw some money into my empty coffee cup! I played two more songs, and soon the cup was half full of money!

Again, in any law upon this subject, ought not all the safeguards of liberty known in civilized and humane jurisprudence to be introduced, so that a free man be not, in any case, surrendered as a slave? And might it not be well at the same time to provide by law for the enforcement of that clause in the Constitution which guarantees that "the citizen of each State shall be entitled to all privileged and immunities of citizens in the several States?"

I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed with his breast bare before the enemy

Our Shastras say and I say so with the greatest deference to all the greatest religious preceptors of India but without fear of contradiction, that our Shastras teach us that there shall be no cooperation between injustice and justice, between an unjust man and a justice- loving man, between truth and untruth

For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life

And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe - the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.

Now the trumpet summons us again - not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need - not as a call to battle, though embattled we are - but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation" - a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

The story I want to tell is about a man who came into the company one day

Despite his appearance, I disliked this man as soon as I saw him.

Suddenly the man noticed that I was looking at him

'Who was that man?' I asked him.

He was the most brilliant man I have ever known in the insurance profession

'What a sad story it is! A young man like that suddenly gives up his business and retires from the world.'

I wanted to find out more about this man.

He was a sensitive man who had suffered

I watched him for the rest of the evening and he seemed to be a good man

a man called Beckwith had started an insurance policy with the company

As she was speaking we saw the old man's hand-carriage come into sight

There was a frail old man inside

'He's a very rich man, but a very sick one

She said he was a very good, kind man

You are in great danger! You must come with me and talk to that man in the hand-carriage

Within five minutes I saw her walking up the beach with a grey-haired man

I knew that she was safe with that man.

'What is the news of that poor man Meltham? Is he dead yet?'

A young man got up when I entered

'You're a man of the world, Mr Sampson,' he began

As he was doing this, another man came into the room - a man with grey hair who walked with a slight limp

Mr Slinkton looked at this man in surprise.

The young man did not seem at all drunk now

'I knew what kind of man you are, you see

You're the man who's already killed one innocent girl for her money

That man standing at the door is Mr Sampson's servant

Slinkton now looked in horror at the man who was accusing him

I did everything that I could to help him, but the poor man died a few months later.

The man probably strangled Polly first, put her on the ground, and cut her throat

on her way to Spitalfields market, she noticed a man and a woman talking outside number 29

She only saw the man's back, but she identified the woman as Annie Chapman later in the mortuary.

Mrs Darrell heard the man say, 'Will you?' and the woman reply, 'Yes'

Mrs Darrell could not describe the man very well

We know that witnesses often make small errors in time, so the man Mrs Darrell saw was very probably the murderer, and he attacked Annie at approximately 5.30 a.m

he noticed a man and a woman by the school wall opposite Dutfield's Yard

The man had a parcel wrapped in newspaper

At 12.45 Israel Schwartz was walking towards Dutfield's Yard when he saw a man stop and speak to a woman in the entrance

Schwartz later described the man as 1.65m tall, about 30, with a small brown moustache

Suddenly the man pulled the woman into the street and threw her down on to the pavement

There he saw another man, who was lighting a pipe

Then the first man shouted 'Lipski', perhaps at Schwartz, perhaps at the other man

The man with the pipe ran after him

Schwartz thought the man was following him, but a few moments later when he looked back, there was nobody behind him.

Israel Schwartz was Jewish, so perhaps when the first man saw him, he shouted 'Lipski' to warn him aggressively to go away

Or perhaps he was warning the man with the pipe that Schwartz was coming

Was this man the murderer's accomplice? Or was he an innocent witness who ran away like Schwartz?

The witnesses identified the victim as the woman with the man near Dutfield's Yard

A man named Michael Kidney also identified her

They passed a man and a woman at the corner of Church Passage that led into Mitre Square

The couple were talking quietly, and the woman had her hand on the man's chest

The place was badly-lit, but one man, Joseph Lawende, gave a description of them

The man was aged 30, 1.70m tall, medium build, with a fair complexion and moustache

He ran to a warehouse nearby and called out for the night watchman, a man named Morris

He was a reliable, kind man who did not want Mary to go out on the streets

She went soon after Barnett's arrival, leaving some clothing, which included a man's overcoat, some shirts, a petticoat, and a bonnet.

Nearly four hours later Mary Ann Cox, who lived in Miller's Court, saw Mary walking along Dorset Street with a man

John McCarthy said later, 'It looked more like the work of a devil than of a man.' And Mrs Prater, who looked through the window, said, 'I can never forget it if I live to be a hundred.'

The man called Jack the Ripper was never caught, and his name will probably never be known

An identikit picture of the man can be constructed from the descriptions by the few witnesses who possibly saw him

In the case of Elizabeth Stride, from the descriptions by Constable Smith and Israel Schwartz we have a man between 28 - 30 years old, 1.65m to 1.70m tall, wearing dark clothes and a hat with a peak, or perhaps a deerstalker

Schwartz said the man had a small moustache

Joseph Lawende saw a man with a woman near Mitre Square

If the woman was Catherine Eddowes, then the man was certainly Jack the Ripper: about thirty, of average height, with a small moustache and a cap with a peak.

On November 12th a labourer named George Hutchinson gave the police a very good description of a man he saw with Mary Kelly at about 2 o'clock on the morning of her murder

Hutchinson said the man was aged about 34-35, just over 1.67m, with a pale face, dark eyes and hair and a small moustache

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

Finally, we can exclude the man with the bottle of beer who was seen with Mary at 11.45 p.m

What is the most probable picture of the murderer? He was a short man, not more than 1.68m, between 28-35 years old, with a light brown moustache

It describes him as a solitary man who worked alone, without the help of an accomplice

In 1902 Inspector Abbeline suspected a man called George Chapman, a publican who was arrested for poisoning his barmaid Maud Marsh

He was also taller and slimmer than the man described by witnesses

Mrs Lewis described Hutchinson as a short, stout man

There were stories of a mysterious man known as 'Leather Apron', who demanded money from prostitutes and beat them if they resisted

When the police found a leather apron at the scene of the Hanbury Street murder, they hunted a man called John Pizer, a Polish boot-maker who always wore a leather apron for his work

The Star reported the crime in very sensational language: the killer was 'half beast, half man', a 'demon', or 'vampire'

When a man called Brennan began to shout about the murders in a pub in Camberwell, the customers ran out into the street and Brennan was soon arrested

One evening in October 1815, an hour before sunset, a man with a long beard and dusty, torn clothes walked into the town of Digne

The innkeeper approached and, bending towards the man, said in a fierce whisper, 'Get out

The man rose without another word, picked up his bag and stick, and left

The man looked around, desperate for somewhere to spend the night

The Bishop of Digne was a kind old man who, many years earlier, had given his palace to the town hospital

'The man is in rags and has an evil look on his face

I'm a dangerous man.'

The bishop turned to the man

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

'The man who came last night! He's run off with our silver!'

'Monseigneur,' said the sergeant, 'do I understand that this man was telling the truth? We found this silver in his bag, and

'So this man isn't a thief? 'The sergeant looked as surprised as Valjean.

The bishop walked up to him and said in a low voice, 'Don't forget that you've promised to use the money to make yourself an honest man.'

But now, for the first time in twenty years, a man had shown him great kindness, and he did not know what to feel.

'I used to work in Paris, but my husband died and I lost my job.' She could not tell Mme Thenardier the truth, which was that she had been made pregnant by a young man who had then abandoned her

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.'

'And another fifteen francs for extras,' called the man.

'Does the child have enough clothes?' the man asked.

The man's face finally appeared in the doorway.

One winter's evening, a toothless woman with a grey face and flowers in her hair was arrested for attacking a man in the street

He became a very wealthy man but lived a simple life, using most of his money to build new hospitals and schools

There was one man, however, who did not like M

'She attacked a man in the street, a respectable citizen

'It was the man's fault, not this woman's

The man who had just saved her from prison was also the man who had caused all her troubles

Madeleine, but I believed you were a man called Jean Valjean

When you arrived in Montreuil, I felt sure that you were this man, but now I know I was wrong, and I'm sorry

I visited the man in Arras prison, and I saw for myself that he is indeed Jean Valjean

'I was going to the man's trial in Arras tomorrow, 'Javert said

'Javert,' he said, 'you're an honourable man

Instead, he said, 'I've behaved unjustly towards an innocent man

The courtroom was full but, because he was such an important man, M

He watched as several witnesses swore on the Bible that the man standing before the judge was Jean Valjean

Champmathieu, a large, simple-minded man, denied everything when his chance came to speak, but the crowd thought he was trying to be funny

'That man is not Jean Valjean.'

When he had gone, the judge immediately allowed Champmathieu to leave the court a free man

This man's name is Jean Valjean, and he's a criminal no better than you are

'It takes more than a small town prison to hold a man as strong as that,' they all agreed.

Looking up, Cosette saw a huge, white-haired man standing next to her

The old man listened with great interest, and asked her many questions.

The old man gave her the bucket, and they entered the inn together.

Mme Thenardier glanced at the old man without interest

'I can pay the price of a room,' the old man said.

'Forty sous,' the man agreed.

But before she could deliver the blow the old man, who had seen everything, interrupted her.

Mme Thenardier took the coin the old man held towards her and walked away.

They were two healthy girls, the old man noticed, dressed in warm clothes and with pink, healthy cheeks

'What's the matter?' the old man said, rising to his feet.

'I don't understand,' the old man said.

The old man left the inn and, minutes later, returned with something in his hands: the beautiful doll from the stall across the road.

'What kind of man is this?' they thought

The Thenardiers gave the old man their best room for the night

They waited nervously while the man studied the bill carefully, expecting him to complain or cause trouble

'What would you say,' the old man said after a moment's thought, 'if I offered to take the child from you?'

'How much do you need?' the old man asked, taking an old leather wallet from the pocket of his coat.

The old man put three 500-franc notes on the table and said, without smiling, 'Now fetch Cosette.'

When Cosette came downstairs, the old man gave her new clothes to wear: a black woollen dress, black stockings, scarf and shoes

Half an hour later, the people of Montfermeil saw an old man in a tall hat and long yellow coat walking along the road to Paris, hand-in-hand with a little girl dressed completely in black

No one knew the man

But, as she held the old man's hand, she gazed wide-eyed at the sky

The beggar laughed and joked with him, and Valjean returned that evening a happier man.

Running to the door, he put his eye to the large keyhole and saw the back view of a man who was walking towards the stairs

A tall man in a long coat with a stick under his arm.

The man had a terrible wound in his head, but he was still alive.

Without another word, the robber took the wounded man's watch and purse, and disappeared into the night.

Gillenormand, was a very wealthy man, but the two men hated each other

A poor man, Georges Pontmercy had left his son nothing apart from a letter:

If you ever find this man, I want you to help him in any way you can.

Life was hard for him, but he never forgot the promise he had made his father: that he would find Thenardier, the man who had saved his father's life, and help him in any way he could.

Marius was a handsome young man, but he was also extremely shy

While walking around his part of the city, Marius had noticed in elderly man and a young girl in the Luxembourg Gardens

The man, who was perhaps sixty, had white hair and a serious but friendly-looking face

The girl was always talking happily, while the man said very little

'I call the man M

For almost a year, Marius saw the old man and the young girl daily in the same place at the same time

The man was the same, but the thin, plain girl of six months earlier had become a beautiful young woman

He suddenly realized that, in his feverish state, he had forgotten about the old man

What would he be thinking when he saw a strange young man walking backwards and forwards in front of his bench? Without another thought, Marius left the Gardens and went home.

It was more like the voice of a sick old man.

He now had five letters, all the work of one author: the man who lived with his family in the next room.

You were the man we ran into last night.'

'Ah, this is for the old man who goes to church every day

A man with a long, grey beard was sitting at the table, writing a letter and smoking a pipe

'The old man who goes to church

'You're a good girl,' the man said, rising quickly to his feet

Then, turning to his wife, he said, 'Quickly! Put out the fire!' While she poured water on the flames, the man broke the chair with his foot and told his younger daughter to break a window

An elderly man and a young girl appeared in the doorway and Marius, still looking through the hole in the wall, could not believe his eyes.

Leblanc and 'Ursula' tried to comfort her, Jondrette approached his wife and said in a whisper, 'Take a good look at that man.'

Although Marius was a dreamer and not a man of action, he knew immediately that he had to save M

Leblanc because he did not know the old man's address

The desk clerk showed him into the police chief's office, where a tall man with a wide face and a thin, tight mouth was trying to keep warm next to a tire.

'He's away,' the tall man said

'When the old man and the girl arrive, let them start their business

Jondrette put the picture down and stepped quietly towards the old man.

'That's the name of the man who saved my father's life at the Battle of Waterloo

The man I've promised to help!'

Leblanc, but the old man was too quick for him

'Never mind.' He sat on the bed next to the helpless but brave old man, and said, 'Let's discuss things quietly

The old man's been lying to us!'

The brave man was in terrible danger, but Marius still could not fire the gun

A young man like you ought to be nicely dressed.'

She remembered the handsome young man she had seen so often in the Luxembourg Gardens

I haven't told you, Cosette, but I'm a poor man

But the old man finally raised his head and said, in a low voice, 'Show him in.'

'I can't hear you,' the old man said, looking annoyed

'Well then,' the old man shouted, 'what do you want?'

'You're a young fool,' the old man said

The old man paused for a moment before saying, 'So, you want to get married at the age of twenty-one

The old man gave a high, unpleasant laugh.

'Tell me about it,' he said to Marius, who stared back with silent amazement, unaware that the word 'grandfather' was responsible for the change in the old man's behaviour

He then turned slowly to the old man, bowed deeply and said, 'Four years ago you insulted my father

The proud young man had closed the door and gone.

'Oh my God,' the old man cried, burying his face in his hands

The new king, Louis-Philippe, was a brave and clever man who loved his country

There was a tall, grey-haired man whom nobody knew, but whose strong, brave face had impressed everybody

The tall, grey-haired man was doing useful work on the larger barricade, and Eponine (whom everyone thought was a boy) worked hard too

While the fifty men behind the barricade waited impatiently for the arrival of sixty thousand soldiers, Enjolras approached the tall, grey-haired man.

When the man said nothing, Enjolras became suspicious.

The man smiled and eventually admitted that he was.

Marius bent down quickly, and saw that it was indeed that unhappy girl, dressed in a man's clothes.

He remembered clearly the young man in the Luxembourg Gardens who had shown such great interest in Cosette, and he was certain that this was the man she had written to.

He went out into the night and sat on the doorstep, his heart filled with a terrible hatred for the man who was trying to steal Cosette from him

So, the problem was solved! The man who threatened his happiness was going to die - was perhaps already dead.

If he kept the letter in his pocket, Cosette would never know what had happened to the other man, and life with her would continue the same as before

For the sake of Cosette's happiness, he would have to try and save the life of the man she loved - the man he hated more than any other in the world.

Marius went pale at the thought of having to choose which man had to die

The gunner - a fair-haired, handsome young man - spun round twice with his head thrown back, and fell sideways across the cannon

'He looked a brave young man.'

'The last man to leave this place will blow your brains out.'

'You saved a man's life by giving him your uniform

'Let me kill this man.'

A terrible heap of dead bodies lay not far away, among them the blood-stained body of a young girl in man's clothes - Eponine.

He walked blindly downwards in this way for a long time, his clothes wet with the blood from Marius's wound, the faint whisper of the young man's breath in his ear

He looked up and saw a man dressed in old clothes standing beside him

Despite the unexpectedness of this meeting, Valjean recognized the man at once

Valjean did not show that he recognized the man, and saw with relief that Thenardier had not recognized him.

'I'll make a bargain with you,' the man said.

'You've killed a man

Give me half of what you found in this man's pockets, and I'll unlock the gate for you.' He produced a large key from his pocket, and a piece of rope

'You killed a man for just thirty francs? You're a fool.' He searched Marius's pockets himself, and then Valjean's.

Never say that I'm not a kind man.'

He looked round quickly and saw a tall man in a long coat, a large stick in his hand

Although the man's face was hidden in shadow, Valjean recognized him as Inspector Javert.

He stared into Valjean's eyes for a long time, then, stepping back with a look of confusion in his eyes, asked dreamily, 'What are you doing here? Who is this man?'

Neither man spoke during the journey

The poor man, unable to understand the kindness and gentle nature of the man he had spent his whole life hating, had taken his own life by jumping from a bridge

'He's dead!' cried the old man in a terrible voice

The old man walked to the window and, while he complained to the night about the pain and grief his grandson had caused him, the doctor arrived

What kind of man are you? Are you mad? But it makes no difference

'Marius!' the old man cried

Every day, according to one of the servants, a white-haired, well-dressed gentleman came to ask for news of the sick man.

He noticed his grandfather's tenderness towards him, but he could not forget the old man's unfairness and cruelty to his father, who had died penniless and unloved

'But of course,' the old man laughed.

'You will have her,' the old man repeated

'She comes here every day in the shape of an old man who asks for news of you

Having said this, the old man burst into tears

Standing beside her on the doorstep was a white-haired man with a strangely nervous smile.

He told her that the money came from a man who preferred to remain unknown

Despite enjoying an occasional conversation with him, he found something strange about the old man

He could not believe that this was the same man he had seen at the barricade all those months ago - it seemed like a bad dream to him.

He was, without doubt, a bad man, but Marius had promised his father to find him and help him

'The man was a hero,' Marius said

'Do you realize, Monsieur, how brave this man was? He rescued me from the field of battle and carried me through the sewers of Paris

He risked his life to save a dying man, and why? He was a total stranger

'I would give it all,' said Marius,'to find that man!'

He remembered the little girl he had rescued from the Thenardiers ten years earlier, and felt sad that he was no longer the most important man in her life

Another man was the centre of her universe

Finally, in a state of shock and confusion, the young man said, 'Why have you told me all this? No one forced you to.'

She is happy with the man she loves

His private investigations into the old man's past had also revealed an even more disgusting fact

But she loved her husband even more, and she gradually became used to not depending on the old man for her happiness.

He had tried without success to find the man who had saved his father's lite at Waterloo, and now the man had come to him! He immediately asked the servant to show the man in.

However, Marius had a shock when he saw the man - he did not recognize him at all! He was an old man with a big nose, glasses and neat grey hair

'The man you think is your wife's guardian is a murderer and a thief

'You're a completely rotten man, but I'll give you this.' Marius took a banknote out of his pocket and threw it in the stranger's face.

Pontmercy!' the man said, examining the note

'They are incorrect, and I do not like to hear a man unjustly accused

'But he's a splendid man! The fortune was really his, and he's not a murderer or thief at all! He's a hero and a saint!'

'I told you that I do not like to see a man accused unjustly, but I do like to see a man punished for crimes he has committed.'

'He was carrying the body of a man he had robbed and killed,' Thenardier said

'Look, I have a piece of cloth from the dead man's coat as proof.'

'That man was me!' Marius cried

'You're a terrible man,' Marius said

You came here to destroy a man, but you have done the opposite

'He was the man who saved my life

It is the face of a man

There is nothing cruel about the face, but I know instantly that this is the man that has Catherine, and I hate that face with all of my heart.

Is it the man with the dark eyes and dirty brown hair? Does he know I am here? Good! If he looks for me, he is not with Catherine, I think

"Yes," a voice replies, "and this is where it ends." And a tall man steps from behind one of the silent giants.

His hair is blond, his eyes light, and I think that this is not the man who has Catherine

"I just want Catherine," I say, but I can see the hate in the man's eyes, and I know that the only thing I can do now is run to the stone where I know she is tied and try to escape into the fog with her.

"Don't!" says the man, as if he can see my intention in my eyes, but I have to

"Yeah, that's him," the tall man says

The tall man is silent for a moment: "Who knows? I don't want to understand the mind of these psychopaths

And then the guard is at the door, a short fat man who looks at us, smiles and then opens it without a single question

To my left I see the short fat man sit down on the floor with his hands on his head; then Robin runs to the office and kicks open the door.

Hastings! I hate the name, and I hate the man

The man looks at the sky.

"A boat, man, we want a boat."

The man laughs, stands up and says nothing.

"Darling," he says, with a smile, "this good man wants to close

"Oh no, surely not?" She turns to the man and smiles again

"You're a cheating, lying, horrible monster of a man

"There's a man who follows me," she begins

And Detective, you might think that I'm crazy, but I know what this man wants..."

"Does he speak to you, this man?"

"In Leeds? Then where does this man follow you from?"

"Can you describe the man?"

"You think that this man enters your premises? That he enters your cottage during the night?"

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

If we want to identify the man."

I know who the man is

William Grey: a local cyclist and a good man.

The man's dark hair is wet from the rain outside, his skin pale and his eyes cold and dead

It is a cold smile, but Branwell sees that the man's eyes look a little more alive now

Gerry is not sure, but he thinks that the man looked at the bag by his feet.

And then he sees the man.

The man does not use the camera and does not look at the map

In fact, the man does nothing at all

The man never even looks at the bag

Then he is near enough, and he looks at the man

But then the man looks to the right, and Jake knows it is his best chance

Then he hears the man shout, and he looks up and sees his angry face running towards him through the crowd.

Can he leave the bag? Can he just run away? Run away? When he knows what the man is going to do?

But can he get there before the man catches him?

He hears another shout, and knows that the man is nearly here, but the camera is not looking at him

"That's mine," the man's voice says behind him

"Give it to me," the man says.

Jake wants to give it to the man because he is so scared.

Then someone in the crowd says something, and the man looks around

But it was not the man who pushed Jake and took the bag: it was a policeman; the man is underneath four NYPD officers.

And an old man who looks at Barry for a moment before returning to his prayers

"Any man can listen," says the quiet voice.

"Now, son, I told you that any man can listen, didn't I?" it says

a man, probably alone, and thought to be extremely dangerous..

It's small, too small for a tall man like him.

One is clearly a policewoman, but the other, a short man, has no uniform.

a man, probably alone, and thought to be extremely dangerous..

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

And now Brandon is alone, and he feels tired and lost, and he knows that the man in the dark winter coat and black hat is near

And the man in the dark winter coat and black hat, who appeared from behind the trees.

He is sure that the man with the gun is near.

The headmaster is a man about the same age as Smith, but there the comparison ends

Good man

"He is a solitary man

"It's my fault," a voice says, and a young man steps forward

See, there was once a young man called Jimmy Lane

"Now, I am a not a cruel man, Jimmy

I'm a business man, not a gangster

You see, he is not a cruel man, but he sometimes has to do cruel things

And a strange-looking man in a coat in the corner.

A strange man.

On the front there is a picture of a man with a short beard and pale skin and unkind eyes

The man in the corner is probably just a normal guy and not some horrible character from one of her thrillers.

"No, man, seven."

They don't know if it's a man, a woman, some kid, you get me?"

The strange man, the man who looks like the evil character from her thriller; his eyes are open now.

I will, she thinks, but only if the strange man stays on the train

She stands up and looks in the corner of the carriage one more time, but it looks like the man is asleep.

"Hey! Careful!" cried a man.

She'd bumped straight into the man, who'd dropped a bagful of dried food packets, spreading them everywhere.

Maybe this man is hoping I'll change my mind, Sala thought.

Then that picture slowly disappeared, and a man took the woman's place

At that moment, a door opened at the far end of the room, and a man appeared

"Wena?" said the man

'The man who owns Manderley

He was a dark-haired, handsome man

'What a strange man Max de Winter is,' said Mrs Van Hopper when we were standing in the lift

But he is certainly an attractive man

He looked like a man walking in his sleep.

I was twenty-one and de Winter was the first man I had ever loved

'He's an attractive man,' she said, 'but not easy to know

An old man with a kind face came down the steps.

Giles was a big, heavy man

Frank Crawley was a thin man with a pleasant, worried face

There was a man standing on the shore, dressed like a fisherman

The man took no notice of the dog.

I climbed down into the bay and the man looked at me for the first time

'Bad weather, isn't it?' the man said with a stupid smile.

'Have you got any string?' I asked the man

The man said nothing, but stared at me in the same stupid way.

The man was still watching me, staring like a child

'I saw you go in there,' the man said

'I didn't say anything, did I?' The man's eyes were full of fear

Who is that man?'

One of the shutters was open and a man stood at the window

But who was the man? And why had he come when Maxim was away in London?

'Hallo, Jasper, old boy,' said a man's voice and Jasper ran back into the morning-room

The man followed

'I beg your pardon,' the man said, looking down at me with a rather unpleasant smile

He was a big, handsome man, but his face was red and his eyes were a hard blue

'What? He's left you all alone? That's not fair, is it?' The man gave an unpleasant laugh

'Well, Danny,' the man said, 'aren't you going to introduce me to the new bride?'

The man laughed again.

Perhaps the man was a thief.

But I did want to find out more about the man.

'Have you ever heard of a man called Jack Favell, Beatrice?' I asked her.

He's an awful man

I don't want that man at Manderley

'Yes, of course,' said a man, 'we all missed your wedding

'Miss Caroline de Winter,' the man shouted.

His eyes were cold and hard, not the eyes of the man I knew and loved

'Well, he's a man, isn't he?' she said with a hard laugh

'Every man likes to enjoy his honeymoon.'

But it wasn't a man

'The man was hurt

'The man found something else,' Captain Searle answered slowly

When I married her, people told me I was the luckiest man in the world.'

'She had a cousin, an awful man, called Jack Favell

He is a bad man

Colonel Julyan, the magistrate, was a middle-aged man with a kind face and grey hair.

'Why, hello, Max, old man,' Favell said

'Now, Max, old man,' Favell said at last, 'you know I'm not a rich man

'The man's drunk,' he said quickly

'Can we get this man and question him?' asked Colonel Julyan.

He looked at me like a man saying goodbye for the last time

Somewhere in London lived a man called Baker

She went out and in a few minutes a tall man came into the room.

She had lost her child and her husband in the same year, the man first, and then the boy, the son to the grave and the husband to the winds of change

Joel was an odd little man: five-feet-four, slightly chubby but not fat, with curly brown hair that appeared to have frizzed and kinked in response to a jolt of electricity

He was a rugged, good-looking man, neither big nor small, about forty

At least a year and a half, maybe two years, had passed since a man had looked at her in quite that fashion

She shouldn't jump at the first man who wanted her

Then a man dressed entirely in black from head to foot, his face hidden by shadows, appeared at the far side of the pit and began to shovel dirt into it

Tina shouted at the man in black, but he ignored her and kept shoveling dirt on top of Danny

Danny wailed and shrieked, and now the earth was even with his chin, but the man in black wouldn't stop filling in the hole

A disgusting cluster of maggots clung to the man's left cheek and to the corner of his eye, feeding off him

She was convinced that the man in black was in her bedroom, standing silently in the darkness, grinning

He might even be a desperately sick man

"Your ad in the Yellow Pages says you can have a man here to change my locks in one hour."

"But if you just put your name on our work list, we'll most likely have a man there by four o'clock this afternoon, tomorrow morning at the latest

"Just give me your name and address, and I'll send a man out right away."

On the right, beyond the craps tables, halfway down the long room, elevated from the main floor, the white-marble and brass baccarat pit catered to a more affluent and sedate group of gamblers; at baccarat, the pit boss, the floor man, and the dealers wore tuxedos

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

Two uniformed security men were performing first aid on the unconscious man, loosening his tie and collar, taking his pulse, while a third guard was keeping curious customers out of the way.

On the floor, the man in the beige suit groaned

She had tried to encourage him to seek advances in his own career - from dealer to floor man to pit boss to higher casino management - but he had no interest in climbing that ladder

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

It could tell her each man's preferred brand of liquor, each wife's favorite flower and perfume, the make of car they drove, the names and ages of their children, the nature of any illnesses or other medical conditions they might have, their favorite foods, their favorite colors, their tastes in music, their political affiliations, and scores of other facts both important and trivial

She thought of the man in her nightmare, the man in black whose face had been lumpy with maggots, and the shadows in the corner of her office seemed darker and deeper than they had been a moment ago.

The man in black

The man in black

The man with the evil, fiery eyes

She imagined herself leaving her office, walking down the long hallway, opening doors, peering into silent, deserted offices, until at last she found a man sitting at another terminal

The man in black?

Could he be the man who'd been harassing her?

"Why? Why did a man like Bill Jaborski do something so stupid as that?"

"I like to see a man being domestic."

After so many months of sorrow, how good it felt to be sharing an evening with an attractive and amusing man.

She hadn't been to bed with any man but Michael in the past fourteen years, since she was nineteen

He was not a particularly large man, but he picked her up in his arms as if she were a child.

Good, healthy lovemaking with a man who cared for her would have helped her recover much faster than she had done, for sex was the antithesis of death, a joyous celebration of life, a denial of the tomb's existence.

She was quaking, gasping about a man dressed all in black, the monstrous figure from her dream.

On Sunrise Mountain most of the big, expensive houses featured natural landscaping - which meant rocks, colored stones, and artfully arranged cacti instead of grass, shrubs, and trees - in acknowledgment that man's grip on this portion of the desert was new and perhaps tenuous

The judge was a tall, dour-looking man with curly white hair

He knew that Kennebeck was a cautious man, but usually not excessively so

Turning, he saw a strange man enter the kitchen from the dining room

A second man appeared behind the first

In freshly pressed slacks, a crisp blue shirt, a patterned tie, and a gray sports jacket, he might have been a professional hit man uncomfortably gotten up for the baptism of his Mafia don's grandchild

The small man fidgeted, and the tall man smiled.

"A lock-release gun," the tall man said, smiling cordially and nodding

"Bob here"-he indicated the smaller man-"has the neatest set of tools

"Relax," said the tall man.

"No, no," the tall man said

"Just relax," the tall man repeated.

The tall man pulled a silencer-equipped pistol out of a shoulder holster that was concealed under his gray sports jacket

"That's better," the tall man said.

"Down with the knife," said the tall man

"As long as you cooperate, you won't get hurt," the tall man assured him.

Vince, the tall man, said, "We'll use the breakfast area over there in the corner."

The tall man gestured with the gun

The big man scowled.

Neither man answered him.

At this indication of imminent surrender, the tall man relaxed slightly, although his lumpish face was still flushed with anger

On the first, a black carriage, drawn by four black horses with evil glaring eyes, rushed along a night highway, beneath a gibbous moon, and a headless man held the reins, urging the frenzied horses forward

The man dressed all in black

Yet she had dreamed about the man in black.

Through the fish-eye lens in the door, she saw a young, clean-cut man wearing a blue cap with an unidentifiable emblem on it

Tina thought of the graphic novel with the man in black on its cover

"You really think you want to tangle with me, little man? Hell, my fist is just about as big as your head

You know what this fist is going to feel like when it hits, little man?"

The bear-who-would-be-a-man shambled toward him

Then the big man stopped.

The big man cried out in surprise and pain, temporarily blinded

Elliot ducked a wild roundhouse punch, stepped in close, still holding on to the pistol that the other man wouldn't surrender

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

The big man had been overconfident, certain that his six-inch advantage in height and his extra eighty pounds of muscle made him unbeatable

Elliot went after him but was slowed by the dining-room chairs, which the fleeing man had overturned in his wake

The man in the kitchen was still unconscious and would probably remain that way for another ten or fifteen minutes

"What man? When?"

"Well, there was the gas man," Tina said as she hurried down the short hall toward the master bedroom.

An imposing, barrel-chested man in rumpled chinos and a white T-shirt snapped on the garage light and peered curiously at them

"Tom," the big man said

A man of his size probably wasn't frightened any more easily than Godzilla confronted by the pathetic bazooka-wielding soldiers surrounding doomed Tokyo.

Tina continued: "You're just not the man we were supposed to see, that's all

After he retired about ten years ago, he was still a young man, fifty-three, and he needed something else to occupy his time

If you're looking for a freelance hit man, someone who deals in carload lots of illegal weapons, maybe a mercenary who can put together a small expeditionary force for an overseas operation - you can find all of them here

I'm not a natural-born man of action

The pistol you took off that man..

We'll have to talk to the man who saw it last."

The cashier was a white-haired man, owlish behind a pair of thick spectacles

He smiled and asked Elliot if their dinner had been satisfactory, and Elliot said it had been fine, and the old man began to make change with slow, arthritic fingers.

Elliot stepped out of the way, as the old man approached.

The old man had to shout to be heard above the explosive voices on the jukebox

The old man crouched beside the machine, reached behind it, found the button

"Have to unplug it!" the old man said.

Elliot pulled the jukebox from the wall so the old man could reach the cord.

But before she could think of a way to phrase her odd request, the old man succeeded in unplugging the machine.

He hadn't expected to find the man at work

He was confident that he would nail Evans when the man returned from the dealer's lounge in the next few minutes.

As Bruckster pocketed the miniature aerosol device, he said, "We have a sick man here."

"Give the man room," Bruckster said

The bureau chief was a slim, elegant, distinguished-looking man

When, as a young man, he had first embarked upon a career in the intelligence services

But a long time ago you were Stryker's mentor, the man he respected, the man he learned from, and now you've betrayed him

Carlton Dombey, a curly-haired man with a bushy mustache, stood at the window, blotting his damp hands on his medical whites and peering anxiously through one of the few frost-free patches of glass

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

A dead man

The poor man's blue-lipped mouth hung in a permanent gape, as if he were trying to deny all of the accusations of suicide that were to come.

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 found a man dressed in a white, insulated ski suit

At least one man had been waiting out here in the snow.

A warm, animal satisfaction rose in him, which was not an entirely welcome feeling, for he liked to think of himself as a civilized man

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

Evidently the people in the funeral home were not aware that their man outside had been eliminated

deep down, I got a sick sort of thrill when I killed that man."

"If a man kills only for the pleasure of it, or if he kills only for an ideal like some of these crackpot revolutionaries you read about, that's savagery..

Kurt Hensen, George Alexander's right-hand man, dozed through the rough flight from Las Vegas to Reno

Hensen, a powerfully built man with white-blond hair and cat-yellow eyes, was afraid of flying

But it had seemed absurd and shortsighted of the director to force a man of Alexander's position to travel by such relatively primitive means

An executive jet for the chief of the vital Nevada bureau was not an extravagance, and Alexander believed his improved performance over the past year had convinced the old man in Washington that this was money well spent.

in positions of that nature, a man was appreciated and respected.

They used an electronic scrambling device, so they could speak candidly, and the old man was furious and characteristically blunt.

After the old man hung up, Alexander called his own office, in no mood to be told that Elliot Stryker and Christina Evans were still at large

Elliot knew how disoriented Billy was feeling, and he felt sorry for the man.

The plateau was basically the work of nature, but man's hand was in evidence

Not a single tree or any other sizable object remained, nothing behind which a man could hide

"How the hell would you know?" the wounded man asked, straining his words through clenched teeth.

The man nodded

He didn't want to tie the wounded man's hands, so they carefully moved him to a supply closet and locked him in there.

A curly-haired man with a bushy mustache sat at one of the tables

Another man, younger than the first, clean-shaven, also dressed in white, was sitting at a computer, reading the information that flashed onto the display screen

The man at the computer suddenly turned to the keyboard and started typing.

The man cried out, pushed his wheeled chair away from the keyboard, and thrust to his feet

The young man in white was impressed too

"If you cooperate, you won't get hurt." He waved the barrel of the gun at the older man

Elliot pointed at the younger man

Zachariah," the younger man said.

"He thinks he's a great man of science, destined for immortality, a man of great works

Indeed, he looked like a little old man.

He's had a unique disease, a man-made disease created in the laboratory

They call the stuff 'Wuhan-400' because it was developed at their RDNA labs outside of the city of Wuhan, and it was the four-hundredth viable strain of man-made microorganisms created at that research center.

Alexander peered anxiously through the sheeting snow into which the chopper moved like a blind man running full-steam into endless darkness

Could this spot on Danny's brain have anything to do with the boy's psychic power? Were his latent psychic abilities brought to the surface as a direct result of the man-made virus with which he had been repeatedly infected? Crazy - but it didn't seem any more unlikely than that he had fallen victim to Project Pandora in the first place

A young man came in

The young man sat down, and put his wet feet near the fire

He was a strange, unhappy man.

Holmes stopped the young man for a minute

The young man showed us an envelope with K.K.K

'Young man, you must do something fast

'Who is this man?'

'More than one man, I think

If anyone could see me turn on the light to answer it, I suppose I would look like any other sleepy man annoyed at being disturbed

The man in the store buys Bernardo's hat.

That night, a man comes to the beach

A man stops and looks at her hat

My young nephew, Dennis, said, 'We'll all remember that when the old man is found covered in blood

'Unpleasant man,' said Dennis

'Be a secretary to an unmarried man.'

'But do you really think she is attracted to that boring old man?' Griselda said.

There was a man and a woman in the studio

The man's arms were round the woman and he was kissing her.

'Of course, if this were a book, the old man would die - and no one would be sorry.'

'The old man would probably shoot you,' said Dennis.

The man was dead - shot through the head.

Haydock is a big man with an honest face

'This afternoon I was asked to go to a dying man, but when I got there everyone was very surprised

The man was much better, and his wife said she had not telephoned me.'

I've never met a man more different from his name

'When that bossy little man wants me, you can send him over to the surgery

He looked like a mad man

Not a very pleasant man, but it's still sad

It seems to me that if a young man had decided to take another man's life, he would not appear upset about it afterwards

As Melchett and I left the bedroom, I saw a thin man come out of another room along the passage.

The man shook his head

You know, that man, Archer

But Redding's a man

'But this man hadn't even heard of it till I told him!' she cried

'Was it a man's voice or a woman's?'

'A man's voice or a woman's?'

This morning he had looked like a man free from worry

'Every man has to decide for himself.'

'Why? Do the police suspect someone else? Colonel Protheroe was not a popular man

'Have you told the police about that man Archer threatening Protheroe?'

But a nice-looking young man, I'm sure they would tell him at once.'

Dr Stone was a little man

'A very stupid man

Because he had read a few books, he thought he knew more than a man who has studied the subject all his life and...'

We began to run, and inside we bumped into a very good-looking young man

'But that was a little fat man, with glasses

'It reminds me of the man who went round the village pretending to be the Gas Inspector

'Colonel Protheroe had arranged for a man to come down from London on Monday - tomorrow - to make a full valuation

'Because a man like Archer wouldn't kill a man with a pistol

There's a good man in Much Benham, who knows all about old silver and I've sent a car to fetch him

What you have to look for is a man with a bad cold.'

'It was a man's sneeze,' said Mrs Price Ridley

'But the man might have been hiding in the bushes,' said Mrs Price Ridley

He was the same even when he was a young man.'

Like a man in a dream, I picked up the receiver.

'So it's the one man we never even thought about!' He went over to the sleeping man and shook him, at first gently, then harder

And, of course, he is not the sort of young man who would marry a woman who has no money

At five-thirty, he telephoned the vicar from the North Lodge, pretending he was the wife of a dying man.

When the poor young man was found dead and the letter was read, everyone would think that he had shot Colonel Protheroe and killed himself because he felt so guilty

Lawrence Redding was not an innocent man, and so the news that Mrs Sadler had seen him change Mr Hawes' pills did indeed make him do 'something stupid'.

Father was an awful man

'There's a man in it - men in it! Half burnt to death! Trying to escape!'

Going to the edge of the pit, I found a group of men in it - Henderson, Ogilvy, and a tall fair-haired man I afterwards learnt was Stent, the Astronomer Royal, with several workmen holding spades

I saw a young man - I believe he was a shop assistant in Woking - standing on the cylinder and trying to climb out of the pit again

I think everyone expected to see a man come out - possibly something a little unlike us on Earth, but more or less a man

I stood staring, watching as man after man fell over

An engineer told me that this was done by a man crawling forwards with a flag on a long pole

Near the top I stood on something soft and, by a flash of lightning, saw the body of a man

Or did a Martian sit inside each, controlling it in the same way that a man's brain controls his body?

He saw this one go after a man, catch him in one of its steel arms and knock his head against a tree

I saw one old man with a big box and a number of flower-pots, angrily arguing with a soldier who wanted him to leave them behind.

'Look!' shouted a man

A man, knee-deep in the water, shouted to me and pointed, although I could not hear what he said

One man spoke to my brother.

A map shop in the Strand opened specially, and a man in his

There was a man with his wife and two boys and some pieces of furniture in a cart, and close behind him came another one with five or six well-dressed people and some boxes and cases

Some distance behind them was a man on an old-fashioned bicycle

My brother spoke to several of the refugees but none could give him any news of Woking, except one man who said that it had been totally destroyed the previous night.

The man was running away with the others and selling his papers for many times their normal price as he ran - a strange mixture of profit and panic.

A man later told me that he had watched from a church roof as the smoke filled his village

So, doing it methodically, as a man might kill insects, the Martians spread this strange killing smoke over the country towards London

The other, younger one was hitting the man who held her arm with a whip.

It was no time for fair fighting, and my brother quieted him with a kick, then took hold of the collar of the man who held the younger lady's arm

He heard the horse move forwards and then the third man hit him between the eyes

The man he held pulled himself free and ran off down the road in the direction from which he had come.

Still recovering, my brother found himself facing the man who had held the horse's head, and realized that the cart was moving away along the road

The man, who looked very well built, tried to move in closer, but my brother hit him in the face

Then, realizing that he was alone, he ran along the road after the cart, with the big man behind him

The man who had run away had now stopped and turned and was following my brother at a greater distance.

The big man tripped over him, and when my brother got to his feet he found himself facing both of them

They both stopped further down the road, where the third man lay unconscious.

As they passed the bend in the road, my brother saw a man lying not far away

'Point the gun at the man behind,' he said, giving it to her, 'it he pushes us too hard

I thought of her in Leatherhead, frightened, in danger, thinking of me already as a dead man

I knew my cousin was brave enough for any emergency, but he was not the sort of man to understand danger quickly and do something about it

I saw that it was a man

The death of the man outside had taken away all his powers of thought

The rule of man had ended.

I took a step towards it, and it rose up and became a man armed with a sword

'It's you,' he said,'- the man from Woking

I stared, surprised and greatly affected by the man's courage.

'You are a brave man.' And suddenly I held his hand

'Oh, one can't always work,' he said, and in a flash I understood the man clearly.

And all around it, some in their overturned war-machines and some in building-machines, and ten of them lying in a row, were the Martians - dead! They had been killed by germs against which their systems could not fight; killed, after all man's machines had failed, by the smallest things that God has put on this Earth.

One man - the first - had even managed to send a telegram to Paris

I was a lonely man, and they were very kind to me

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

'I beg your pardon, sir,' said our page-boy, as we entered, 'there was a man waiting for you

Well, that man must have a very big problem because he left his pipe

So, this man must like his pipe very much if he prefers to mend it instead of buying a new one with the same money.'

Just then, as Holmes was talking, we heard someone walking up the stairs, and then a man walked into the room without knocking.

'I beg your pardon,' said the man, 'I should have knocked, but I am very upset, and I need help.'

The man then took off his hat, and sat down on a chair.

She went to America when she was very young and lived in the town of Atlanta, where she married a man called Hebron who was a lawyer

Then he said, 'Are you sure that the yellow face was a man's face?'

She pulled out a locket, and inside the locket was the picture of a very handsome and intelligent man, but a man who was obviously of African descent.

'This is John Hebron, of Atlanta,' said Mrs Munro, 'and he was a very noble man

'I am not a very good man, Effie, but I think that I am better than you thought.'

When I had walked into the library, I had been a happy, healthy man

When I left it, I was a very ill man.

The other man is of no help at all

You look at the other man and say, 'What are you doing with your side of the tent?'

At this point, the third man has pulled the boat out of the water

The young man was surprised and angry

I never saw a man laugh so much

I never saw a man's face change so quickly.

'An intelligent man like you must do better things

George told us about a man he knew

This man had slept on the river in a wet boat, like ours

The man at the ticket office of the theatre said, 'Oh, you're the famous acrobats from the Himalaya Mountains

And he is as handsome as anything, and a good man, but you know..

The possibility of the other man actually coming to fetch her - oh well

I love James and I am not interested in any other man.' Her voice was full of tears.

Your private life is not my business, but you just said yourself that you wanted a man of your own

That man belongs to so many women already...

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.

Handsome, maybe not rich like this man here, but with enough money to afford a fast car

'I see,' she said, and for the first time in the one month since she agreed to be this man's lover, the tears which suddenly rose into her eyes came there naturally.

Here is a fifty-year-old 'big man' who thinks he is somebody

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

He is that kind of man, and she that kind of woman

'Ruin, ruin, ruin! Christ! See, Connie, the funny thing is that I am sure you are the only person who thought it was a disaster to have a sister who was the girlfriend of a big man.'

'Dow-dah-dee-day! How's my dear young man today? Grow up fast and come to take care of Auntie Mercy.'

A man.'

'I hid behind that tree to see what kind of man you were

The man gave the policeman a piece of paper

'She's escaped from my asylum!' the man replied, and he drove off.

She was married twice: once to my father, who was a poor man, and then to Mr Philip Fairlie, who was rich

He was a weak, lazy hypochondriac who considered himself a man of artistic sensibility

But it can't be the same man! I must be going mad! Ever since I saw the similarity between Miss Fairlie and the woman in white, I've connected them in my mind

Do not do it! He is an evil man

He is a charming man of about forty-five years old

The man was too lazy to look after the interests of his own niece! I went to Limmeridge the next day and told him that no one should sign a marriage settlement like this - it gave the husband a large financial interest in the death of his wife! But Mr Fairlie did not want to listen

Sir Percival is a good-looking, charming and friendly man

Sir Percival is certainly an admirable man - and yet, in three words, I hate him!

And her husband? What can I say of Count Fosco? He has certainly tamed his wife, and he looks like a man who could tame a tiger

I have never before met a man like Count Fosco

I was seen with you yesterday by a fat old man

On the next page, another entry appears, but it is in a man's handwriting.]

Tell me his secret, and we'll both get our revenge! He has used you - he, a rich man from an aristocratic family -'

'That's just what the old parish clerk said,' the man replied

The entry above - recording the marriage of a man called Walter - took much more space
