It was another carman, Robert Paul, also on his way to work

They decided to continue on their way to work and tell the first policeman they met.

On his way to work at Spitalfields market he often checked the passage because strangers sometimes came in

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

A second later she looked away and Marius walked on but, in a strange way, he knew his life had changed

Enjolras and his other friends tried to cheer him up by taking him to exciting places, but these expeditions always ended in the same way: Marius would leave the group and walk around the streets of Paris unhappily on his own.

The conversation continued politely in this way for several minutes

In this way, bathed in happiness, they lived untroubled by the world.

Marius pushed his way through the crowds of frightened, murmuring people that filled the streets until he reached the market area

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

With Marius lying across his shoulders, Valjean walked forward into the darkness, feeling his way along the wet, slippery walls with his hands

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 was suddenly filled with new energy at the sight, at last, of his way of escape from the sewers

There was no way out and, as all hope of escape left him, he began to think of Cosette.

It was the only way he knew to escape the confusion that was poisoning his heart.

Oh Cosette, I feel so ashamed of the way I've treated him!'

It was crazy the way it did that, even after a whole year together.

Instead, she turned the package over, looking for a way to open it

Gran had a chip buried under her skin like everyone else, but she wore a bracelet to hide it as a small way of protesting about the government's tight control over everyone.

You never earned many, but it was better than nothing - and a good way to exercise, and get out of your apartment.

"Well, I suppose I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, there is still life in the outside world - and maybe someone from that world has found a way across the city boundary."

I love the way she talks about the past and all that

In a good way.

Now that they were actually on their way, it was all so much fun.

Cham sent her another message while she was on her way to say that he was in Space 46, and when she went in, he'd already chosen an illusion

We just have to find a way to get there..."

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.

"You don't plan to sign up?" The way Leti said it, it sounded like an accusation.

Determined not to lose sight of her guide, Sala pushed her way forward

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

We're opposed to the government controlling everyone the way it does."

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

She took a deep breath and began to make her way down the stairway.

"What do you think? Could the pod be doing something to him? Changing the way he thinks somehow?"

Sala walked in circles around the tiny Real Space, trying to think of a way forward.

"In what way?"

"Please line up this way..."

"It seems that the pod is designed to change the way people think

During the Oil Wars, they had to train us how to keep our minds strong, in case we were caught by people who wanted to change the way we thought."

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

You know - against people who wanted to change the way you thought."

And the way they were smiling, none of the other parents seemed to suspect that anything was wrong.

By the way, dear, you were rather rude to him

Mrs Danvers spoke in a strange way, as though this was somehow important to her.

I went into the hall again, I did not know which way to go

I found my way into the little morning-room

I hurried up some stairs, hoping that I could find my way to my bedroom in the east wing

Somehow I lost my way

'I lost my way,' I said, 'I was trying to find my room.'

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

'Not that way,' called Maxim

'Why does he want to go that way?' I asked.

Come on, Jasper, old boy, this way.'

'He's gone over this way.' I began to climb up the wet rocks.

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

He knows the way home.'

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

'Not that way, Jasper,' I called

I did not like the way that Favell spoke about Maxim

My heart was beating in a strange, excited way.

I have always liked the picture of the girl in white,' Mrs Danvers went on in the same friendly way.

I wanted to take the boat a good way out, but the wind was too strong for me.

In a strange way, we were completely happy.

'And I shall do things in my own way.'

'In what way can you make things dangerous?'

At six minutes past midnight, Tuesday morning, on the way home from a late rehearsal of her new stage show, Tina Evans saw her son, Danny, in a stranger's car

She was miserable because she couldn't think of a way to reach him

At first, it had seemed terribly wrong that such a wonderful opportunity should come her way before she'd even had time to mourn her boy, as if the Fates were so shallow and insensitive as to think that they could balance the scales and offset Danny's death merely by presenting her with a chance at her dream job

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

He shifted from foot to foot as he talked about Magyck! Turned this way and that, gestured expansively with his quick, gem-speckled hands, virtually doing a jig.

They didn't hike all the way into the true wilderness, just a reasonable distance off the beaten path, and they planned for every contingency

She'd had no way of knowing that Jaborski's seventeenth trip would end in disaster, yet Michael blamed her

The sulfur-yellow light from the street lamps failed to reach all the way across the lawn

Step by step, her curiosity gave way to fear

She felt a presence, something that wanted her, and she cried out as the door came all the way open.

He was desperate to get out, and she was frantic to rescue him; but he was chained, unable to climb, and the sides of the pit were sheer and smooth, so she had no way to reach him

Michael led the way, gently pushing and elbowing through the holiday crowd, and Tina followed quickly in his wake, before the path that he made could close up again.

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.

When they were first married, he'd been fun, charming, easygoing, but he had not been that way with her in a long time.

The only way she could have held on to her husband would have been to abandon her new career, and she had refused to do that.

When he paused to lick his ice-cream cone, she said, "Michael, that's not the way it's going to be."

Jesus, I was babbling like an idiot, wasn't I? I didn't let you do it your way

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

We'll sell it this way: 'Spend the magic night of your anniversary in the magic world of Magyck!' Something like that

"Somehow, for some reason, they drove the bus more than four miles off the main highway, four miles off and a hell of a long way up, right up to the damn clouds

They drove up a steep, abandoned logging trail, a deteriorated dirt road so treacherous, so choked with snow, so icy that only a fool would have attempted to negotiate it any way but on foot."

"In your condition, throwing off all that nervous energy the way you are, two small brandies won't affect you in the slightest."

"In a way it was."

I'll admit I don't know you all that well yet, but I think I know you well enough to say you wouldn't react that way

Crowds streamed along the sidewalks, on their way from this casino to that casino, from one lounge to another, from one show to the next.

So it'll work out for the best either way." She returned from the window, sat on the couch again, beside Elliot

Her mother was shattered, couldn't bear to view the body, though the daughter hadn't suffered substantial physical damage, the way Danny did

it won't be that way."

I still work at that a couple of days a week because it's a good way to keep in shape

Anyway, Judge Kennebeck and I go back a long way

As they crossed the reception area on their way toward the hall, Tina glanced nervously at Angela's computer

"Is that the way you feel?"

On Sunday, when the exhumation was out of the way, maybe he would fly Tina to Arizona or to Los Angeles for the day.

Elliot didn't tell the judge about the malicious prankster, for that seemed like an unnecessary complication; he still believed that once the fact of Danny's death was established by the exhumation, the quickest and surest way of dealing with the harassment was to hire a first-rate firm of private investigators to track down the perpetrator

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

"The only way you could have found out about the exhumation so quickly is if Kennebeck told you."

something strange about the way all those scouts died

"That's not quite the way they explained the system in law school," Elliot said.

"The garage is this way," she said.

She was curious about the story out of which that creature had stepped, for she had the peculiar feeling that, in some way, it would be similar to the story of Danny's death

"Don't get in my way," Vince advised

"Last chance to do it the easy way," Vince said.

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

"This way."

They hurried back the way they had come.

Now she turned all the way around and stared through the rear window of the sports car

The tires squealed, and the car slid sideways, but the superb suspension and responsive steering held the Mercedes firmly on four wheels all the way through the arc.

"Well," Elliot said, "the way we understood it, this was where he lived."

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

Any amusement he felt at the way they had handled Polumby evaporated instantly as he reversed warily out of sanctuary, down the driveway, and into the street

"Let's ride out this way for a few miles and talk

"The only way these people are going to get us," he said, "is if we just give ourselves over to them

Nevada offers more personal freedom than anywhere in the country, and that's good, by my way of thinking

"What kind of government agency would have the authority to circumvent the law like this? What kind of agency would be empowered to kill innocent civilians who got in its way?"

in a way..

He knew exactly what she meant, but he didn't want to think about it, because there was no way he could make sense of it

But a bunch of hard-nosed security men might not have seen it that way."

"Well, they'd have had to be pretty stupid to think murder was the safest way to handle it

But it's the kind of theory that almost any smart, ambitious reporter will go for in a big, big way - if we can come up with enough facts that appear to support it."

"Well, isn't there any way that we could slip past them and get at Kennebeck?"

I think it would be wise for us to stay up there for a couple of days, even after we've talked to Bellicosti, until we can figure a way out of this mess

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

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

"Listen," she said excitedly, "we thought someone was sending me messages about Danny being alive just to rub my face in the fact that he was actually dead - or to let me know, in a roundabout fashion, that the way he died wasn't anything like what I'd been told

Confused, he said, "And to your way of thinking, what do they appear to be?"

some way..

That's another way Danny's been trying to reach me

The wind buffeted the sports car, moaned along the windows, seeking a way in.

He didn't want to attract the attention of the omnipresent casino security men, and the easiest way to escape their notice was to appear to be the least threatening hick in the huge room

"I'm no doctor," Bruckster said, "but it sure looks like a heart attack to me, the way he dropped like a stone, same way my uncle Ned went down last Fourth of July right in the middle of the fireworks display."

Even if he was a natural then, there's no way he could still be as sharp as he once was."

So if you look at it that way, it worked out as well as it possibly could."

"There's a way to find out if it's really Reno he's headed for

Okay? We've got a long, long way to go

"The way he stares..

Stone posts and softly glowing electric lamps marked the way to the front door, and warm light radiated from several first-floor windows.

"No way."

If there's any trouble, you might get in the way of it."

Am I the kind of woman who gets in the way?"

I'm glad you see it my way." She opened her door and climbed out of the car.

"It's the only way."

"Instead of sneaking around to some out-of-the-way motel, we'll march right into one of the best hotels in town."

"It's the way God made us

It's the way we were meant to be, so who's to say it isn't right?"

George was encouraged by the President to believe that eventually he would be promoted to the bureau chief of the entire western half of the country - and then all the way to the top, if only he could get the floundering western division functioning as smoothly as the South American and Nevada offices

The Alexander's were all idealists when they were discussing the way things ought to be, but they were also hardheaded pragmatists when dealing with the way things actually were

At least that was the way George saw it; he thought of himself as heroic

But I have this feeling that if we just find some way..

well, maybe Danny will find a way to show us exactly where he is."

I can get through to him that way."

The only way you could understand is if you had the dream yourself

They looked like a couple of skiers on their way to the slopes.

"Looks more like the road they always take in those old movies when they're on their way to Dracula's castle."

"Can't say for sure either way

The Explorer, equipped with heavy chains on its big winter-tread tires, bit into the snow and chewed its way forward without hesitation.

Snow began to fall more heavily - yet ahead of them, not a single flake lay in their way

Twenty yards beyond the bend, the way was barred by a steel gate

"All the way to Hell."

How long could Danny continue to pave the way? The boy appeared to have some incredible powers, but he wasn't God

We have to be ready to kill them or put them out of action some other way."

A camera and two-way video communications monitor were mounted in the left-hand wall of the vestibule

It opened onto a junction of two hallways, which Tina had discovered a few minutes ago, just after Elliot had shot the guard, when she had peeked through the door to see if reinforcements were on the way.

He's showing us the way."

Then, even with Danny jamming the enemy's weapons, she and Elliot would be able to escape only if they slaughtered their way out, and she knew that neither of them had the stomach for that much murder, perhaps not even in self-defense.

"If that's not good enough for you, I can shut you down the same way I did that damn machine

I knew this whole business was too dirty to end any way but disaster." He sighed, as if a great weight had been lifted from him

It'll take us a little longer that way, but at least we'll have a fighting chance

But they were sunken, ringed by unhealthy dark skin, which was not the way they had always been

except in the crudest way

The chopper hugged the valley floor, streaking northward, ten feet above an ice-blocked river, still forced to make its way through a snowfall that nearly blinded them, but sheltered from the worst of the storm's turbulence by the walls of mammoth evergreens that flanked the river

Elliot said, "But if racing to keep up with the Chinese - or the Russians or the Iraqis - can create situations like the one we've got here, where an innocent child gets ground up in the machine, then aren't we just becoming monsters too? Aren't we letting our fears of the enemy turn us into them? And isn't that just another way of losing the war?"

There's no way to screen them out ahead of time

And like syphilis, Wuhan-400 can't survive outside a living human body for longer than a minute, which means it can't permanently contaminate objects or entire places the way anthrax and other virulent microorganisms can

"Except this Larry Bollinger didn't see it that way," Tina said bitterly

Then he made his way to the road that serves the wildlife research center

When Bollinger discovered they had a vehicle, he tried to persuade them to drive him all the way into Reno

For as long as he could remember, he had been fascinated with death, with the mechanics and the meaning of it, and he had longed to know what it was like on the other side - without, of course, wishing to commit himself to a one-way journey there

In fact, when you tell your story to the press, maybe you could slant it that way."

"No way," Dombey said

Holding the pistol, Tina led the way into the hall

Imagine if surgery worked this way

'Perhaps it was set that way last night when work stopped.'

Either he had gone mad, or else he had a reason for letting his wife kill him in such a strange and terrible way.

Andre claimed to have discovered a way of transmitting solid objects through space

'I've been working my way through many problems, and I haven't been very pleasant to live with

'We'll celebrate with reintegrated champagne!' he said, landing the way down to the laboratory.

If it is not found, I shall have to find a way to put an end to all this.

I must destroy myself in such a way that nobody can possibly know what has happened to me

I have thought of a way which is neither simple nor easy, but you can and will help me.

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

Slowly, the monster, the thing that had been my husband, covered its head, got up and found its way into the other room.

Then I ran all the way home.

I had just finished cutting some meat, which was very tough, and said, waving the knife in a way that was not at all appropriate for a vicar, that anyone who murdered Colonel Protheroe would be doing the world a favour.

'And explains them in the worst possible way.'

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

'Out of the way, sir

'Well, I shall never forget his face when I met him outside my gate, or the way he said, "Oh, you'll see Protheroe all right!" That should have made me suspect what had just happened.' Haydock stared at me

She's a woman, and women act in that silly way

'You are laughing at me,' said Miss Marple, 'but that is a very good way of finding the truth

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

When I found a place where the plants beside the path looked as though someone had walked on them, I left the path and forced my way through

'How did the murderer come to the study? First way, along the road and through the gate

Second way, by the front door

Third way - is there a third way? My idea was to see if any of the bushes were broken near the vicarage garden wall.'

Dr Stone and Miss Cram - it's the quickest way to the barrow

And Dr Stone returned that way - as you know, Mr Redding, because he joined you and Mrs Protheroe.'

We turned and walked this way, but after a short distance, there were no more broken bushes

'Whoever murdered Colonel Protheroe did not come this way! There's no sign that anyone climbed over this wall

There's no other way he could have come.'

Yes, that's the way the person came.'

At that time, 6.30, he was on his way to the Blue Boar with Dr Stone

He led the way upstairs and into his sitting room, where Miss Cram was working

It was a picture of someone, but the face had been cut in such a violent way that it was unrecognizable.

But perhaps Dr Stone or Miss Cram had gone that way?

I had just reached the place so, once again, I pushed my way through the bushes

'Well, it seems to me that the only way this silver could be sold would be if it had been replaced by copies

But before that, this lady looked around in a very strange way, to see if anyone had noticed her

If only that note had said something different.' She moved towards the window and on her way put her hand into the pot of a rather tired houseplant

I'm on my way home from town

'It's his way out, poor fellow.'

Oh, he's very clever! Keeping the letter and using it this way was very clever indeed.'

But Miss Marple just smiled and continued, 'I liked Anne and Lawrence, so when they both confessed in that silly way - well, I was happy that I had been wrong

And before we criticize them for thinking in this way, we must remember how badly we have treated not only the animals of this planet, but also other people

Can we really complain that the Martians treated us in the same way?

That night, too, there was another sudden cloud of gas from the distant planet as a second missile started on its way to Earth from Mars, just under twenty-four hours after the first one

I went on to the crowd and pushed my way through

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

Then I realized that the Martians could hit the top of Maybury Hill with their Heat-Ray because they had cleared the college out of the way.

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

'You are the first people I've seen coming this way this morning,' the officer said

Half-way through his report the officer interrupted him and looked at me.

The cases that produced the Heat-Rays were waved high and the beams flashed this way and that.

They have poisoned our gunners, destroyed Richmond, Kingston and Wimbledon, and are moving slowly towards London, destroying everything on the way, It is impossible to stop them

My brother learned that the two women were the wife and younger sister of a doctor living in Stanmore, The doctor had heard about the Martians at the railway station, on his way home from seeing a patient, and had sent them off, promising to follow after telling the neighbour

'We must go that way,' he said, and turned the horse round again.

They were taken through Barnet and were more than a kilometer beyond the centre of the town before they could fight their way across to the other side of the road.

All this time the steamboat was moving steadily out to sea and away from the fight, and when at last the steam cleared, the black cloud got in the way and they could see nothing of either the Thunder Child or the third Martian

Down on the left a busy little digging-machine could be seen, sending out small clouds of green smoke and working its way round the pit, making it bigger and piling the earth up over the top

Before he was half-way across the floor, I was right behind him

Which way are you going?'

Strange as it may seem, I had not thought of things this way, although it was perfectly obvious

I sat staring in front of me, trying without success to find a way of arguing against him

All these - the sort of people that lived in these houses, all those little office workers that used to live down that way - they'd be no good

I lost my way among the streets, and soon saw down a long road, in the half-light of the early dawn, the curve of Primrose Hill

It had happened in this way, and I and many others did not see that it would happen because terror and disaster had blinded our minds

Besides this, we still know very little about the Black Smoke, and the way that the Heat-Ray worked remains a puzzle.

If you force your way into that cottage, our marriage is finished."

This was the only way to make the water boil on a boat

On the way back, Montmorency met a cat

It was delicious - excellent in every way

'No, it's just that women allow them to behave the way they do instead of taking some freedom themselves.'

'Well, if I had the chance to behave the same way,' said Connie, 'I wouldn't make use of it.'

And a twenty-three-year-old child who chooses a silly way to fight life's problems

He ran in, holding the few things he had bought on his way home.

The Lord knows, I don't want to do so! I don't want that sad woman to be connected in any way with Miss Fairlie

The only way to make her go to Cumberland was to tell her that her sister had already gone

Harriet Tubman led the way for another famous fighter for human rights, Rosa Parks

But the big problem in any country is changing the way people think about child marriage - and that takes time.

I have your father's permission to court you! I know that Don Diego wants to marry you, but I am superior in every way
