How to use "now" in a sentence

Right now, with the sun on my back and the wind in my hair, I agree.

I can now see the sign pointing to this end of the trail.

The Big Drop Rappel is now just under a kilometre away.

The Big Drop Rappel is now only about 160 metres away

The girls now felt very tired and decided not to go to the party

I can now see some softer rock below

All I can do now is wait for someone to find me.

The urine is now a dark orange colour

I can now only sit for a few minutes so I take smaller sips every hour.

3.00 am It's now sixty hours since my accident

It's now Tuesday, April the 29th: my fourth day trapped in the canyon.

It's exactly 8.00 am and all I have to drink now is urine.

It is now the warmest part of the day

'Yes, I'll do that right now

I am back in the canyon again, but now I don't feel the same as before

Things were now moving fast.

But now, with no sign of a rescue, my hopes are disappearing fast.

What have you done now? asks the first voice.

It's now a dark blue colour

Blood is coming out faster from my arm now

Blood is now coming from my arm really fast and I'm in terrible pain from the amputation

"Our escape? We are underwater! How can we escape?" "Not now

"The waters we are in now are full of sharks, Mr Land."

We now travelled east, past Australia and into the Indian Ocean

But now that we were in the Indian Ocean, there was nowhere to escape to.

"No, Professor, now!"

"Not now, Professor."

"I want all three of you to go to your rooms, now!" The ship came closer

We all felt the same, now, the adventure of the Nautilus was not exciting or interesting

For most of that time I enjoyed it, but now I had to leave.

I am writing this now some months later: I am safe now

They were in a different rabbit-hole now.

Stop now!'

'Goodbye, feet! Who will put your shoes on for you now? I can't do it! I'll give you some new shoes for Christmas

Perhaps I'm not me now

'Am I smaller than the table now?' she wondered

Everything was different now

Quick, now!'

'But I'm bigger now!'

She was tired because she was very small now.

'You see, I'm not me now.'

'And your hair is now very white;

'What shall I do now?' she wondered

'Here, you can have it now,' site said

It was very strange, but the baby was now a pig.

But he and I aren't friends now

She was back in the long room, near the little table! 'I'm small now

'Who's going to lose their head now?' Alice wondered

'The Queen isn't angry with me now,' she thought

'Do something now, or I'll cut off everybody's head!' said the Queen angrily.

But now there was nothing above Alices head - not an eye or an ear or a smile

But the King wasn't interested now.

But she was tall now, and chairs, tables and people fell here, there and everywhere.

She was very large now and she wasn't afraid of anybody.

And who do you think I saw in the school cafe? Jenny Curran! She was all grown-up now, with pretty black hair, long legs, and a beautiful face

She was now playing in a group called The Broken Eggs, and they played two nights each week at a place called the Hodaddy Club near Harvard University

Jenny was in the back of the car now, so I went over and talked to her through the window

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

I just want to live in an ordinary way now

'I think they live somewhere in North Carolina now.'

'We live here now,' she said

'Perhaps I can put things right with Jenny,' I thought, 'now that I've found her again.' But the more I thought about it, the more I finally understood that it was better for the boy to be with Jenny and her husband, and not to have an idiot for a father.

And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual

It is found in nearly all the published speeches of him who now addresses you

And, more than this, they placed in the platform for my acceptance, and as a law to themselves and to me, the clear and emphatic resolution which I now read:

I now reiterate these sentiments; and, in doing so, I only press upon the public attention the most conclusive evidence of which the case is susceptible that the property, peace, and security of no section are to be in any wise endangered by the now incoming administration

The clause I now read is as plainly written in the Constitution as any other of its provisions:

And while I do not choose now to specify particular acts of Congress as proper to be enforced, I do suggest that it will be much safer for all, both in official and private stations, to conform to and abide by all those acts which stand un repealed, than to violate any of them, trusting to find impunity in having them held to be unconstitutional.

Yet, with all this scope of precedent, I now enter upon the same task for the brief Constitutional term of four years under great and peculiar difficulty

A disruption of the Federal Union, heretofore only menaced, is now formidably attempted.

For instance, why may not any portion of a new confederacy a year or two hence arbitrarily secede again, precisely as portions of the present Union now claim to secede from it? All who cherish disunion sentiments are now being educated to the exact temper of doing this."

The foreign slave trade, now imperfectly suppressed, would be ultimately revived, without restriction, in one section, while fugitive slaves, now only partially surrendered, would not be surrendered at all by the other.

To avoid misconstruction of what I have said, I depart from my purpose not to speak of particular amendments so far as to say that, holding such a provision to now be implied Constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable.

Such of you as are now dissatisfied, still have the old Constitution unimpaired, and, on the sensitive point, the laws of your own framing under it; while the new administration will have no immediate power, if it would, to change either

He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South, this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope - fervently do we pray - that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away

We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths

This Nation is asking for action, and action now.

If I read the temper of our people correctly, we now realize, as we have never realized before, our interdependence on each other; that we cannot merely take, but we must give as well; that if we are to go forward, we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of a common discipline, because without such discipline no progress can be made, no leadership becomes effective.

The world is very different now

You'll never escape now

The young man did not seem at all drunk now

And now you're slowly killing another one.'

I know where the journal is now!'

He looked frightened now

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

'You are seeing me under my real name now for the first time

'My life is ended now.'

If you like, I can make arrangements now to get a lock put on the door

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

And now I've just seen her spit at you, the mayor of our town

'But I saw what happened in the street just now,' M

'I honestly didn't know that you had lost your job, but I'll try to help you now

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 must leave now,' M

'It will destroy her if she doesn't see her child now, after you promised to bring her.'

Jean Valjean (as we must now call him) shook Javert's hand from his collar and ran to the bed

'If you don't come with me now, I'll have to call my men.'

'I'm ready now,' he said.

While guests and visitors ate and drank noisily, Cosette - now eight years old - sat in her usual place under the kitchen table

As they were approaching the inn, Cosette turned to him and said, 'May I have the bucket now? If Mme Thenardier sees that someone has been helping me, she'll beat me.'

By now, Cosette was exhausted

Walking more slowly now, thinking he was safe from his pursuers, Valjean followed the alley until he came to a lane that seemed to lead away from the city

As well as the joy of seeing her in the Gardens, he now had the pleasure of following her home

'It gave me so much happiness just to look at her, and now, through my stupidity, I've lost even that.'

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

But now he understood that Jondrette's business was writing dishonest letters, asking for money from people he imagined were wealthier than himself.

'If they had had another neighbour,' he thought, 'one who had noticed their suffering, perhaps they could have been rescued by now.'

And now the vision had reappeared!

'What do you want now?'

You've been kind to us - now I want to be kind to you

'Do you remember the little inn in Montfermeil eight years ago? You took away our Cosette, do you remember? Wearing that old yellow coat, pretending you were a tramp! Well, now you're going to learn that you can't make things right by just bringing a few hospital blankets! You're the cause of all my troubles

I realize that you don't have the money with you now, but I want you to write a letter

Gillenormand, Marius's grandfather, was now ninety years old

'Have you come to apologize? Do you now see that you were wrong?'

I suppose you've got some sort of career, now? Perhaps you've made a fortune

Soldiers now occupied the top of the barricade, but were unable to advance any further because the defenders fought so fiercely

Marius, who had thrown away his guns and was now without a weapon, began to move towards a barrel of gunpowder he had seen near the door of the wine shop

The survivors were reloading their guns in silence, when suddenly a loud voice called, 'Get out now, or I'll blow up the barricade!'

After two months of happiness with Cosette, he was now in the middle of a war

But now we're both going to die, it doesn't matter, does it? I can't be jealous any more

So she still loved him! He thought for a moment that now he must not die, but then he thought, 'She's going away.'

He had suffered terribly over the years and, until now, he had survived every disaster

'Which is where I'm going now

You're happy now, and so my work is complete.'

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.

The stranger explained in great detail how he used to work for the government in foreign countries and that, now he was retired, he wanted to move to South America with his wife and daughter

And now I must leave you, my children

I begin to feel more than nervous now: I begin to feel scared

The jeans are new, but now they are dirty: muddy stains cover the legs from the wet grass

I try not to think of anything but the direction I am moving in, but I am starting to remember things now

And I get up again and run faster now.

I am scared now because I know that I am near, and in the dark I begin to see large, grey stones standing like giants on the top of the hill

"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.

"Catherine," I say again, smiling, because she is all that matters, and I can rest now because I know that she is safe.

There is no stopping now, so I pull the small stereo from one of the black bags on my shoulder, and I press play.

"Good Lord, you should leave now before the police get here, and maybe you can still escape," he laughs again, "but I doubt it."

Only Hastings can see now, but we stand behind him

I can see sweat on Hastings' face now, but it is on mine too

And he looks more than nervous now

"And you now have a decision to make because we have no time

It has to be now.

"And what now?" Hastings says

This is it, we have to go now

And now we start to smile, because we know we are nearly out.

The sun is almost down behind the green, snowy mountains now, and it is colder than before

It is ten-to-six now; the boats stop going out at six

She needs to come now, he knows, but he cannot shout for her

But it is nearly six now.

"Don't you speak English? My wife wants to go out now

I think we must wait until tomorrow now."

Sylvia and the boat are gone, and the half-light is complete darkness now

She has long brown hair that right now looks a little untidy

"Not now, no," she says, and she picks up her handbag

For almost a year now

Not now."

"Oh I know," she says, and he sees that something in her deep-green eyes, and he thinks that he knows what it is now

"I think you should tell me everything," he says, and he can see clearly now the guilt that fills her deep-green eyes

No, he cannot feel any sympathy for her, but maybe now she can find some rest

Maybe now she can forget the ghost of William Grey.

She's in the interview room now."

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

That's saltie territory now." And both of the brothers smile.

Their big mouths now full of dinner

You do what I say, no problem." And Nick looks at him for a moment: "You look okay now: these new clothes aren't bad."

But they are better than the dirty old jeans and green jacket that are now in a bin behind the shop where they sit.

Jake feels really sick now

He thinks about home for a moment, but that is too far away now, and too long ago.

"So we do it now, and we meet back on Ninth Avenue

He needs to think clearly now

And now? Now what?

And there are more cries from the crowd, and everyone seems to know what is happening now

The scared cries now become angry shouts.

Jake now realises that the crowd is not shouting.

Please, leave us now, and take some time to consider these events."

It is obvious what the decision will be, but it looks like he will be here until four now

"Look," she says, her voice different now, "I saw you looking at me yesterday

The Lee family is back in the room now, and he looks at them

"All rise!" and Nick knows it is too late now.

"I think the judge needs to listen to this first," he says, and he looks back at the beautiful Mrs Dawson and sees that she is not sad now, and that she is not victorious, and not angry.

And you can see your room now, though everything seems strange and different, and everything makes you feel more afraid.

And now you move

And you know that you can rest now: everything is okay

But there is another part of you now, and it is not cold with fear: it is hot

Because you know now that someone is in your house.

You know now that the window to the spare room is open, and you know this is how the burglar entered.

You turn on the lights and swing the heavy statue in his direction, but you cannot see him now because the light is so bright

No, the only thing that is important is something that the church can offer him right now

And so he waits, and the evening becomes darker, and he thinks that there are now only one or two people left in the small old church

And yes, it is stolen, but I promise, Father, no one needs it now

No one needs it now apart from me."

He can really taste the freedom now

The sun is lower in the sky now, it's a little less hot, and the radio keeps him company with old songs about love and women, rock and roll and country music

The sun is almost down now, the sky a deep orange and red

And he starts to run again, not on the road now, but into the desert

But the sun is gone now, and darkness is all around him

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

But now...

The sound is louder now

He feels warmer now, and this scares him

What time is it now? He does not know

There are fewer trees now, and the sound is louder, much louder

"Be honest now, or there might be trouble for you."

He is tired now

But everything will be okay now, he knows

Because after hours of struggling his foot is now finally free to move.

But now in the forest he is not so sure

Junior looks a bit happier now, and for twenty minutes Owen talks to him about how to hold the gun and how to walk with it, while his son listens carefully and asks sensible questions that show a real interest

And Owen now notices that the boy actually looks a little bit like him after all and that he also smiles sometimes

In the summer maybe, but not now.

He wanted everything now

And, right now, it's very important to you." And he takes the gag from Jimmy's mouth.

"I didn't cheat!" Jimmy shouts, and he is angry now

"I know, sick, isn't it? I mean, how many is that now?" asks another.

And now there is silence in the carriage, and Sarah sees that everyone is listening to the conversation.

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

Go now, she tells herself.

But it's okay now: I'm here to help you."

Anyway, there are loads of robots doing the work for now."

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

Such adventures had been normal then, but they seemed almost magical now.

Your mother is in a very unusual position, you know - Cham's dad only gets bits and pieces of work now and then

What if he wouldn't forgive her? She had really shouted at him, and now she felt awful

She was in the wrong, and now she'd probably ruined everything.

Sala realized now that Cham was ambitious

Until now, Sala hadn't even thought about doing it herself

She wished they could just go back to normal now

"Can you meet me now at the simulator center? I want to talk face to face

She wished she could be with Cham, but his family was in crisis; they all needed him more than she did right now

We know you can't leave your city, but now I hear that maybe messages can reach you, if you are still alive

What more could she say? Cham's number one consideration right now was his family, and she couldn't stand in the way of that; but she wished that he would at least think about other possibilities.

"So," Leti said, "we've been over everything now

"So now, just a few details

It was now or never.

If the woman was leading her into a trap, she now had no way of contacting anyone.

Walking more slowly now, the woman went down a narrow passageway.

She looked very different now that she was in her own surroundings - more friendly and unthreatening

"The bug has stopped now

For now, though, we want to help people like your grandmother

We now have a secret agent, working within the government

You're here now

But now it seemed an obvious place for the government to bug.

You don't even know this woman and now she's filling your head with all these crazy stories..."

"Oh, come on, now," said Gran

But we don't know that what this woman says is true - and nothing can happen right now anyway."

Sometimes she took Apat with her, though he was less enthusiastic now that Cham couldn't go with them

She was staring out at the view with that faraway look in her eyes - that look that Sala now recognized

But now..

"But I could." Sala was feeling determined now

that! I remember now," he said

Sala was certain now

Right now."

"It was good to talk to Cham just now, wasn't it?" said Dani.

It's all new and exciting right now, but he'll get tired of it

"You're doubting what the government is doing." There was a warning in Tian's voice now

Cham had a new virtual hobby now - riding - and he talked happily about going out on horses and competing in races with Ding and Palo

On the one hand, she could now see a future full of possibilities..

Right now, all she wanted was to talk to Cham

Normally she loved it when Cham was fooling around with his sisters, but now she thought she'd explode.

So we really believe now that there's a better life out there

If the government came asking them questions, it would be better, for now, that he knew nothing at all.

It was clear to them now: the pods were just another way of controlling everyone

Her whole body was connected now

'Billy's on holiday now,' Mrs Van Hopper went on

'You can't sit here now,' he said

The sun was setting now and the air was cold and clear.

I wanted to have something of his now that our day was over.

She was bored now, and more bad tempered than usual

'You would not be in this car now if you were like that,' he said.

You know all about me now

If you don't believe me, you can get out of the car now.'

'I want to go home now,' I said.

Go down to the hotel office now

'I should be downstairs now.'

'I must say goodbye now.'

I felt better, much better now.

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

We were not far from the house now

Manderley was my home now - my home and Maxim's

'What do the rooms in the east wing look like now?' he said.

There was some colour in her pale face now

I could show them to you now.'

I think you know your way now, don't you?'

Maxim was standing in the drive now, calling to Jasper

Jasper was silent now, with his nose to the ground.

Maxim seemed all right again now, happy and cheerful

'Come on Jasper, we must go home now.'

Jasper was quiet now and let me tie the string.

'She doesn't go in there now

He was walking very fast now

It was cold now and my legs ached

'If you had listened to me, we would be home by now

I had to run to keep up with him now

I must go now

I was Mrs de Winter now, not Rebecca

'When did they find her?' I felt I must know everything now

I was much happier now

'You broke it? Why didn't you say so when Frith was here? You'll have to explain to Mrs Danvers now.'

I had not wanted Maxim to go to London, but now I was glad to be alone.

I could read the name on it now: Je Reviens

And that boat would never come back now.

A room that was never used now.

Her voice now was as soft and sweet as honey.

'Do you think she can see us now?' Mrs Danvers asked me

I knew now how much Mrs Danvers hated me.

I remember him now

I missed Maxim now and felt lonely without him

Our visitors were talking happily now about their costumes for the Ball

'Leave me alone now

'I must go down now,' she said at last

You must go to bed now

It was almost light now and a bird had started to sing

It was cold now, but I drank it

I could not stop my tears now

Nothing can be changed now

I understand things more clearly now.'

'You wanted this to happen, didn't you? Are you pleased now? Are you happy?'

Well, he's paying for it now

He's jealous now

Why don't you jump now?'

If I jumped now, I would not see the stones

The fog had almost gone now

The sea was calm now

I must not fail Maxim now.

Will you look into my eyes and tell me that you love me now?'

But I could feel nothing now.

You don't love me now.'

'It's no use now,' said Maxim

How far away that seemed! I felt calmer, much older now

It was clean and tidy now.

'I am Mrs de Winter now, Mrs Danvers,' I said

That makes things rather difficult for us now.'

'I'm afraid I must leave now

There's only the boat-builder, Mr Tabb, to speak now

We were in his car now and he was driving very fast.

'Will you be all right now?' Frank asked me

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

I'm going down to the church now

I must go now

I'm leaving London now and going back to Manderley

'I think Ben can go home now, don't you, Colonel Julyan?' Maxim said

'Where does the doctor live now?'

The air was fresh and clear now

'Do you remember the visit now, Doctor?' But Dr Baker was already searching his files

'Yes,' he said slowly, 'I remember now.'

You've been lucky, haven't you? You and your young wife can go back to Manderley now

You must forget it all now

'I'm not sure that Rebecca hasn't won, even now,' Maxim went on

It was dark now and I fell asleep almost at once

The sky was dark now and there were no stars.

And now here he was sitting in the cream-colored Chevrolet wagon, brought to her by fate and by-

She wasn't a dancer anymore; now she worked behind the curtain, in the production end of the show, but she still felt physically and psychologically best when she weighed no more than she had weighed when she'd been a performer.

Closing her eyes now, chewing the toast, Tina could still see him - three years old, peanut butter smeared all over his lips and chin - as he grinned and said, More neenut putter toast, please.

Right now, she didn't want to remember so clearly.

She wasn't sleepy now, but she knew she had to get more rest

But now it lay at an angle, the base against the wall, the easel itself slanted, chalkboard-down, across a game table

Danny, of course, had been writing about something else, and the dark interpretation that could be drawn from those two words now, after his death, was just a macabre coincidence.

Although she wasn't much of a drinker, indulging in nothing more than a glass of wine now and then, with no capacity whatsoever for hard liquor, she finished the bourbon in two swallows

Directly overhead, the ceiling of the immense porte cochere was lined with hundreds of lights; none of the bulbs were burning now, but after nightfall, they would rain dazzling, golden luminosity upon the glossy cobblestones below

Wine now

Until recently, she had rarely used alcohol to calm her nerves - but now it was her cure of first resort

Magyck! Was now in the hands of the performers and technicians.

Now that she had spent more than a year grieving for her broken marriage and for her lost son, now that Magyck! was almost behind her, she would have time to be a woman again

Nickel duchesses always played the cheap slot machines - nickels and dimes in the old days, now quarters - never the dollar- or five-dollar slots

As abruptly as the bed had started bouncing up and down, it now stopped

And confession now and then

"Well, now that the show's opened successfully, most of my share of the producer's chores are public relations and promotional stuff

and now the prospect of a new and exciting lover...

She couldn't reach him, and she couldn't reach Danny, and the dirt was up to the boy's knees, and now up to his hips, and now over his shoulders

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

She could turn on the light and call him now

Right now, however, she didn't feel up to the battle

The tubes of glue, miniature bottles of enamel, and model-crafting tools that had stood on his desk were now on the floor with everything else

She had lost the momentum occasioned by her anger, and now she was afraid of losing the sense of purpose that had driven her to confront him

But now, if she started making nasty accusations after he'd been so pleasant to her, she would seem to be a hysterical harpy, and if she still had any advantage left, she would quickly lose it.

She didn't think he was lying now

She was absolutely sure of that now.

"I understand how you feel." His smile changed; it was smug now.

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

I see that now

You don't understand me one bit better now than you did when we divorced."

But now she vented some of the acid that had been eating at her for so long, cutting him off in midsentence.

Alone now on the third floor, she sat in the pool of amber light at her desk, surrounded by shadows, yawning

But the room had been warm when Tina had first come in to use the computer, and now it was cool

She had an almost psychic sense that the perpetrator of this viciousness was in the building now, perhaps on the third floor with her

They're full-fledged nightmares now."

"The body's in an airtight casket, but it'll be even more deteriorated now than it was a year ago when they recommended you not look at it."

"Nothing could be worse than the ones I'm having now."

They wanted to have a little fun during the evening that lay ahead, and now they began putting themselves in the mood for it.

It doesn't hurt as bad now as it once did

"I guess I'll have to eat that crow now."

She had told him about the dreams, but he hadn't realized, until now, how terrible they were

She felt up to the challenge now, and she intended to finish the task before she lost her nerve again.

"The court's calendar is overloaded now

Let's leave it at that for now

The Mad Hatter would be along any minute now.

The pistol still frightened him, but he was now thinking of something else that scared him more than the gun

"Goddamn it, I said you were going to answer the questions from now on."

Yet now she was seriously considering the possibility that her dreams had some otherworldly significance

"Not now that you're here."

Tina passed a leafy green plant, a four-foot-high schefflera that she had owned since it was only one-fourth as tall as it was now, and she had the insane urge to stop and risk getting caught in the coming explosion just long enough to pick up the plant and take it with her

"You can't save it now."

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

But now that they know we're on to them, they might panic, might do anything

First Vince and now this specimen

They're out right now, and there's nobody ever been here named Fitzpatrick."

Grinning broadly now, Tom said, "Well, you can look at it that way if you want

Then, he'd had the resiliency of youth and had been less burdened with respect for death than he was now

They were far from Tina's neighborhood now

He'll have come to his senses and scrammed by now

It happens now and then

And now, just when I'm beginning to think I can face up to it and put it behind me, I discover he might not have died accidentally after all

But now that it's happened, now that it's been thrust upon you, you're not entirely unhappy

"The only thing new about me is that I wasn't scared stiff this morning, and now I am."

"So now what do we do?"

If we go to them now with a wild story about a mysterious conspiracy, they aren't going to be anxious to listen."

Right now

The long wing of the diner was nearly full of customers now; about forty people were eating dinner or waiting to be served

Her heartbeat became less like the pounding of a jackhammer, but it still did not settle into a normal rhythm; now it was affected by excitement rather than terror

If she tried to scream now, she would be able to do so, but she no longer wanted to scream.

And now the jukebox

And even if those were examples of psychic ability, little tricks like that are light-years from what you're attributing to Danny now."

The only thing that scared her now was the possibility that they might find Danny - and then be unable to rescue him

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

"If they actually headed for Flagstaff," Alexander said, "they ought to have landed by now

So now, they're twice as anxious to see it

"Eventually, but not necessarily right now

With a distant click, the light that he had just turned off now turned itself on.

Not now

Carlton Dombey felt as though he had been swallowed alive and was trapped now in the devil's gut.

"There's pain in them now," Dombey said sadly

"What now?" she asked.

The raw, damp wind was stronger now than it had been a short while ago, when they'd landed at the airport

It swept through the graveyard, fluting between the headstones and the larger monuments, whispering a promise of more snow, much more than the meager flurries it now carried.

The stranger had been lying in the snow, watching them, waiting; now he had a wet hole in his chest

Even in the dim, illusory light from the surrounding snow, Elliot could see that the sentry's eyes were fixed in the same unseeing gaze that Bellicosti was even now directing at the bathroom window.

They must have just now homed in on it."

"But they can't follow us now," she said.

"Not now."

"I can see it now

"But now that you're in real danger again for the first time in years, a part of you is responding to the challenge

"That bastard's killed one of us now

"You don't have time to tell me about it now

Right now, he longed for the rigidly structured routine of the law office, the neatly ordered paragraphs of legal casebooks, and the timeless rules of the courtroom.

"Soon now," Tina said, glancing at the map that was open on her knees.

He had loaded the depleted magazine earlier; now he jacked a bullet into the chamber

Something's happening at the labs right now."

This broad shelf in the mountainside couldn't have been as large or as regularly shaped in its natural state as it was now: three hundred yards wide, two hundred yards deep, almost a perfect rectangle

"The security people must be watching us on video monitors right now," Elliot said glumly.

Blinking away tears, Elliot pointed the pistol at the older guard, who had drawn his revolver by now and had found that it didn't work either

They were deserted now too

Laughter pealed from the nearby room again, and Elliot said softly, "Where now?"

"Not now," Dombey said, stopping at the door, turning to them, evidently disturbed by what he had to tell them

"Right now he's on the verge of starving to death because it's been so long since he's been able to keep any food in his stomach

Right now, he's clean and uninfected

It's all right now."

Alexander was increasingly confident that they would reach the installation unscathed, and he was aware that even Kurt Hensen, who hated flying with Morgan, was calmer now than he had been ten minutes ago.

they're now supposed to be our new friends, but they keep developing bacteriological weapons, new and more virulent strains of viruses, because they're broke, and this is a lot cheaper than other weapons systems

"Right now I just want to know how the hell Danny wound up in this place."

"Not long now," Jack Morgan said.

The book you now hold in your hands - assuming that you are not quadridexterous and holding it with your feet - was the second book I wrote under the pen name Leigh Nichols

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

'And now you must hurry home

Do you see why I'm worried now? He has sent pips to John from London John's enemy is in London already!'

'Watson!' he said, 'I know the names of Openshaw's enemies! And now I'm going to send them a surprise! This will frighten them!' He took five pips from an orange and put them in an envelope

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

I have liked telephones, and here in France we now have so many of them that you are never safe from interruption

It was originally a steam hammer, but everything is worked electrically now

But now I think about it, you're quite right

'But you know now..

I then disconnected the telephone - I always did this now at night - and turned out all the lights except the lamp on my desk.

I now expected that my husband would invite the Air Ministry people to come down, but he went on working.

You know the rest and can now do whatever you think right.

Does he think I have stolen Church money? But now I must get on with preparing my sermon

I had been in a good mood for writing, but now I felt uncomfortable

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

'You - you saw just now?' she said.

But I felt worried because I now knew that Anne Protheroe was the kind of woman who would stop at nothing when her emotions took control

If I had enough money, I'd take her away now.'

He's in there now.'

'I can't believe it, even now,' Griselda interrupted

'I'm afraid you can't get it now,' I said

'Surely, Lettice, a yellow hat won't be much good to you just now?'

'It was something very different, but I can't say more just now.'

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

Please come now

And, yes, he remembered her name now: Mrs Lestrange.

Please go now.'

Then Miss Marple gave us both a shock as she said, 'Has Mrs Protheroe confessed to the crime now?'

'Is he at the barrow now?' asked Griselda.

What I want now is the truth.' She nodded

'Now deep, now high

'Well, this person began by saying, "You are a very unpleasant old woman who tells lies!" Me, Colonel Melchett! "And now the police are after you."'

'We've now got to find out who fired it

As we sat down, I told him that we now knew the time of the shot.

I believed him, and yet I wondered why he now looked so unhappy

It is too late for advice now.' Then she turned away

And just now we must all take notice of Strange Things.'

The inspector had told me she wasn't sure of the time when he questioned her, but she was sure now.

'You keep the door locked now,' I said.

And now look at this!' She held out a newspaper.

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

If we'd been planning to go away together, and then Lucius had died - it would be so awful now

'And now I know that you are not speaking the truth, Lettice

'I'll go up to Old Hall now

And I am leaving right now

'Don't you think,' I said, 'that it might be better if Hawes didn't recover? We know the truth now and...'

'I did not think it was right to speak until now, because I still needed one more fact in order to explain what had happened

'You may think differently,' said Melchett, 'when you have heard what we now know.' And he quickly told him about Miss Marple's explanation of the crime

'What are you going to do now?' I asked her.

'However,' she added, 'I'm going to be very serious and well behaved from now on.'

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

'That is not wise just now.' And then her face went pink.

I now believe that this was a fire built to make an enormous gun in a very deep pit

This, we now know, was a very accurate description

But no one suspected the truth, that the Martians had fired missiles, which were now rushing towards us at a speed of many kilometres a second across the great emptiness of space.

'It's out on Horsell Common now.'

But now the sounds inside had stopped, and a thin circle of bright metal showed between its top and body.

There was now a large crowd of people standing around

A large part of the cylinder had now been uncovered, although its lower end was still hidden in the side of the pit.

The growing crowd, he said, was now becoming a serious problem, especially the boys

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

The common was now covered with small groups of people

The atmosphere of Earth, we now know, contains much more oxygen than there is on Mars

I remember the dinner table that evening very clearly even now: my dear wife's sweet, worried face looking at me from under the pink lamp-shade, the white cloth laid with silver and glass, the glass of red wine in my hand

One or two adventurous people went into the darkness and crawled quite near the Martians, but they never returned, because now and again a light-ray swept round the common, and the Heat-Ray was ready to follow

The fires had died down now, but the ruins of broken and burnt-out houses and blackened trees were clear in the cold light of the dawn

Every now and then people looked nervously at the fields beyond Chertsey, but everything there was still.

Then I saw the four of them carrying the remains of the fallen one between them, now clear and then later faint through a curtain of smoke, moving away from me across a great space of river and fields

One hundred and sixteen were now in position, mainly covering London

He was now very worried about me.

I looked again at the Martian, and saw that it was now moving east along the river bank

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

He said he would catch up with them by about half-past four in the morning, but it was now nearly nine and there was no sign of him.

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

He looked past it at the Martians again and saw the three of them now close together, and standing so far out to sea that their legs were almost completely under water.

But the other warships were now quite close and moving in towards the shore.

By chance the kitchen had escaped and now stood buried under earth and bricks, covered on every side except towards the cylinder

We now lay on the very edge of the enormous round pit that the Martians were making.

The cylinder was already open in the centre of the pit, and on the furthest side one of the great fighting-machines, empty now, stood tall and unmoving against the evening sky

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

A young Martian, we now know, was born on Earth during the war, and it was found growing out of the body of its parent, just like some young plants.

The Martians at the bottom of the pit could no longer be seen, because the earth around it was now so high

'I have been still too long,' he said, loud enough for the Martians to hear, 'and now I must tell the world

The tentacle was now two metres or more into the room, moving backwards and forwards with strange, sudden movements

Had the Martian seen me? What was it doing now?

When at last I did, I found that the food cupboard was now empty

I was not the master now, but an animal among the animals, under the power of the Martians

They were now looking for food somewhere else

Perhaps even now they were destroying Berlin or Paris, or maybe they were moving north.

I awoke to find that sad howling still in my ears: 'Ulla, ulla, ulla, ulla, ulla,' It was now getting dark, and after I had found some bread and cheese in the bar I walked on through the silent squares to Baker Street and so came at last to Regents Park

And now night, the mother of fear and mystery, was coming.

They were surrounded by birds now

They stood now, harmless tripods of shining metal, against the brightness of the rising sun.

And now comes the strangest thing in my story

There were the remains of the meat and the bread, now gone bad, where the soldier and I had left them

I can only regret now, as I finish my story, how little I can help with the many questions which are still unanswered

However, whether we expect another attack or not, our views of the human future must now be changed by these events

'You see,' Holmes said to me, 'I needed a case, and now I have lost this one because we went for a walk in the park.'

'That night I did not tell my wife about the strange face and the rude woman, but I did tell her that people were now living in the cottage.

"I promise that I will tell you everything some day, but if you enter now, you will cause great sadness." Then she held me tightly, and I tried to push her off.

'You have forced me, and now we must both accept the situation

And now, tonight, you know everything

I don't remember the name now, but it was something terrible

I now feel rather well, except for my liver problem

'I'll steer the boat now, J,' said George

Are you sure you don't want anything now?

'Hei Mercy.' And the door opened to show the face of Connie, her big sister, six years older, and now heavy with her second child

Joe drives someone else's car now

In fact, I am wearing them now

'And you promised you wouldn't tell her.' It was Father's voice now.

'Okay; now all is over, and don't let's argue about it.' 'Was it you who arranged the coup, I wonder? Just because of your sister? It wouldn't surprise me.'

What worries me now is that she won't tell me where she's living

A lady called Mrs Fairlie was kind to me, but now she and her husband are both dead.'

You must now write a will saying who you wish to leave the other twenty thousand pounds to when you die.'

'Marian, you must keep it now,' she said

I recommended Walter, and now he has gone.

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

I noticed it in her letters, and now I see it in her face

There are things now that she will not discuss with me - her husband, her married life - but before we kept no secrets from each other.

'I can tell you everything now, Marian,' she said

'Percival, we are now at a financial crisis,' said the Count

But now I am ill! I have a fever! I cannot get ill now, when Laura needs me more than ever!

The Count had left a letter for my uncle, telling him that Anne Catherick was back in the asylum, but she now believed that she was Lady Glyde! I left Limmeridge and went to the asylum

My one hope now was to prove Laura's identity, but Mr Kyrle, having heard the whole story, said that it would be impossible

The old parish clerk is dead now, but his son lives in the village

I had no proof now of the forgery in the register because the register was burnt

Then he said, 'You've been very helpful to me, so now I'll help you

He knew his secret was now safe, so he explained it all to me

How I hated him! He forced me to stay here in this village, where they all talked about me but no one spoke to me! Finally, now, after all these years, I have earned their respect

A little more than a year had passed since she had said that, and now her wish had come true

I could now say goodbye to the ghostly figure who has haunted these pages as she haunted my life.

"I'll go and speak to her now.' She ran out of the room, and I waited, trembling

'Can we say that we love each other now?'

After a few minutes of intense thought, he sat down again and said, 'What I'm going to tell you now is a secret, and I could be killed for telling it to you

Why should he listen to a mad woman? I told him that Anne was even more confused than before; she now believed she was Lady Glyde

After having read them all, Mr Kyrle said that Laura's identity was now proved

The following year our son was born, and he is now the heir of Limmeridge House.

In most countries, they can now vote

Women are now working in large numbers, and they are also becoming leaders in business and politics.

More and more women are now going into science because of female scientists like Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin and Emily Levesque.

She came from Ceylon, a country that is now called Sri Lanka

But now, things are changing

In Guatemala and Malawi, for example, the lowest age for marriage is now higher

But thanks to the women in this book - and others - women are now much more equal in society than they have ever been before.

But now we are tired and hungry

"Good! We now fight together!" says Zorro and leaves.
