And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

I do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that.

I add, too, that all the protection which, consistently with the Constitution and the laws, can be given, will be cheerfully given to all the States when lawfully demanded, for whatever cause - as cheerfully to one section as to another.

Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before? Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? Suppose you go to war, you cannot fight always; and when, after much loss on both sides, and no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identical old questions as to terms of intercourse are again upon you.

The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

I ask, is it unconstitutional for a policeman or for a soldier to tender his resignation when he knows that he is called to serve a Government which traduces his own countrymen?

I hold and I venture to submit, that there is nothing unconstitutional in it

'Then what can we say to her when she wakes up?' The nurse looked suddenly worried

For many years, Marius believed this, but when he was seventeen years old, he learnt the truth

She looked up when Marius passed for the second time, and gave him a casual glance

Taking a deep breath, he rose and was going to pass the bench for a third time when he stopped

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.

Leblanc had begun to suspect what was happening because often, when Marius appeared, he got to his feet and walked away, taking his daughter with him

One cold but sunny afternoon in February, Marius was walking along the street when two young girls dressed in rags ran into him

She looked cold and ill, and when she spoke, Marius saw that she had lost several of her teeth

This was why he had failed to recognize the two daughters when they had run into him on the street

Her eyes lit up when she noticed the books on his writing desk.

Marius, depressed at what he saw, was going to get down from the cupboard when the door of the Jondrettes' room opened and the elder girl came in

He told the two girls to leave the room and then, when alone with his wife, he said, 'And I recognized the girl too

Jondrette quietly told his wife to dismiss the carriage, and when she had left the room, turned back to his visitor.

Their anger exploded into violence in June 1832, when General Lamarque died

He was just approaching the rue de Chanvrerie when he heard a loud voice calling from the shadows: 'Who's there?'

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

He stood up and was going to leave the room when something made him stop

He sat for a long time listening to the sound of distant gunfire in the city, wondering how to get his revenge, when suddenly he heard footsteps

Oh, and one more thing before you go,'Valjean said when the boy had handed him the letter

The rebels fired their guns but, when the smoke had cleared, they saw the soldiers, unharmed, steadily aiming the cannon at the barricade

'That's fair,' Enjolras decided, when nobody objected

He had only gone a few steps, however, when he turned and looked at Valjean

Finally, when even his great strength was beginning to fade, he saw ahead of him a light - the clear light of day

He had to bend as the roof of the tunnel became lower, but when he reached the light, Valjean stopped and gave a cry of despair

One evening, when Marius was talking to Cosette and Jean Valjean about the mystery and his unsuccessful attempts to solve it, he became angry with Cosette's guardian's lack of interest in his story.

There were flowers everywhere when they returned to M

Everything ended for me when she married you yesterday

I could not silence the voice that speaks to me when I am alone.'

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

He was even more surprised when, instead of chasing him out of the room, Marius ran towards him and pressed several thousand-franc notes into his hand.

Jean Valjean looked up when he heard the knock on his door and called in a weak voice, 'Come in.'

This is the first thing that I think when I wake, and I look around nervously, confused by the dark and by the thick fog which surrounds me.

I am about to shout again when suddenly I remember something

Maybe he is his friend, his partner, and I am about to run when I see the small gun in his hand.

No! No, listen, don't go, listen to me, when I return to London, everything is going to be different

But when his wife laughs, she sounds like a donkey.

Every evening when I return home from work."

And when I try to speak to him, he..."

I see him at the train station sometimes; then he's there again when I get off the bus in the town centre here in Howarth

I turn on the lights, and I see nothing, but when I go to the window, I can see him in the field

He walks up the corridor to the front desk and is about to shout for an officer when he sees the tall figure standing at the door of the police station

And when Big Jones finds you, that is when you go see the world...

It is almost dark when Gerry reaches the farm

And he is about to laugh again, when he hears a noise from the trees.

He raises his gun and is about to shoot when the dark shape moves again, and he laughs.

And that is when he feels the knife at his neck.

And Gerry remembers the old factory on the Thames and the boxes with the different addresses and the story about what Big Jones does when people steal from him

And Big Jones looks up at him and is about to shout when suddenly he looks behind Gerry, and the colour disappears from his face.

In the day, when it's hot and sunny like today, they don't worry about anything

Then, when you get the chance..

And he begins to imagine Nick's face when he sees the bag, and he already begins to imagine the food that he can buy.

In reality, however, all he does is press 'play' on the recording device and write down a few notes about when the judge enters, when the prosecution or defence speaks, or what the final verdict is

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

They say this is the case because Miss Lee was not in a sane state of mind when she killed Mr Dawson; they say that this crime was in defence of her sister

Tonight is a good night to go out for a few drinks, he thinks, and he is deciding whom to call, when he hears a female voice.

He stands and is about to press the button on the recording device when he sees the red light flashing.

Yes, he thinks Mrs Dawson looks best when she is scared.

You try to see the clock in the dark, but it is impossible, and you think that it must be somewhere between four and six o'clock: the darkest hours of the night when even the lively and vibrant city of Manchester sleeps.

Your hand is nearly on the light switch when you hear another noise from the room

God, he wishes he could remember last night: not just the girl's expression when he hit her, but everything.

That's when he sees the bodies

We tell them to tell the parents they can have the kid when they leave us the money

In Canada, in the mountains, when you are cold you are okay, but when you are warm, you are in trouble.

He only knows that it was three in the afternoon when they first heard the sound of the police sirens.

The falls: so beautiful, just like when he and Greg were kids

Smith is about to speak when a loud hammering sound starts, and Bowen shakes his head

But when he didn't come to breakfast this morning, we began to worry." Smith looks at the clock

The door to the tower is in another corridor, and when they open it, they hear footsteps on the stairs

He remembers when he came here with his father to poach a few rabbits as a child

No, this time the sun is high and hot, and this time Owen has his old guns over his shoulder, and he remembers the way that Junior's expressionless face changed when he saw them the night before.

Well, maybe when he gets to shoot one.

You know what I mean when I say a nobody? I mean Jimmy wasn't rich, and he wasn't too bright, you know? Not very clever, really

I know it because I can read people, and I could see all this when I looked at Jimmy Lane.

Do you know what I mean when I say cheat? I mean you use the little tricks, the fast fingers and the good memory, but you use it to break the rules of the game.

That was when he decided he was good enough and clever enough and lucky enough to play at my table

But there is something very dangerous about Hank Wynn when he looks calm and happy

I started playing when I was seven or eight, with friends at school, online, in local competitions

And when she hears the topic that they are talking about, she suddenly feels cold.

Sarah nods and is about to put her headphones back in her ears when she feels someone watching her, and she looks at the corner of the carriage.

They're saying that the study programs in the pod will make you much more employable when you come out."

Sala's grandmother remembered life before the Oil Wars, when people could travel freely and see other parts of the world

Now she spent as much time in the garden as possible, even when it was dark or raining

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

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

Gran was always talking about how she'd lived by the ocean when she was a child.

"I know." Sala thought of Cham's face when he left her, and felt uneasy

Gran was always talking about the days when she and Sala's grandfather used to travel to distant lands, climb mountains, and go swimming in the ocean

Sala knew that Apat loved it when Cham came with them to the center, because Cham always joked around with him

And when there's so little work available, most people have no hope of changing their lives

The mystery woman: Who was she? How did she know about Gran? She wondered when she would see her again...

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

"So, when are you going to the pod center?" asked Niki.

From far down on the ground floor, Cham sent a message: "Ready when you are!"

"And then, when everything is attached, the pod moves into a horizontal position, so you're lying down."

"It's normal to feel a little strange when you first come out."

And I loved it right at the end, when that big dolphin came up to you and lifted you out of the water."

They were almost home when Cham turned to her.

At last, she knew she couldn't put off her decision any longer, and when she'd finished her studies on the day after the pod experience, she invited Cham to her apartment.

It was pouring with rain again, and his hair and clothes were wet when he arrived.

She was asleep when her ultranet began to beep

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

"The only thing I can ask is this: if I do Pod Life without you, will you still be here for me when I come out? Can you wait two years?"

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

I still smile when I think of all the fun we had as children, playing on the beach and in the forest

Here, we are free, and we have beauty all around us, but my heart breaks when I think of you trapped in that city, like a bird in a cage.

The journey across the city seemed to take forever; but when she arrived, Cham was waiting, hands in pockets

At last, when Dani and Tian had nothing more to ask, Leti smiled and spoke quietly to another technician, who was standing nearby

She had been there for about thirty minutes when a woman began running on the machine next to her

Sala didn't look at her at first, but when the woman spoke, she recognized her voice at once.

And we don't like it when the government develops new kinds of control."

She'd never considered it before, when she'd had nothing to hide

Promise me we'll investigate this more closely when you come out."

"So, Gran, what do you think?" she asked breathlessly, when she'd finished her story.

Maybe when Cham comes out of the pod."

"Well, Gran," said Sala, "maybe one day, when Cham comes out of the pod, and they've managed to break through the force field, we really will be able to go together

Apat was busy on the jumping machine, and Sala was collecting a drink from the cafe, when she heard a voice in her ear.

But we'd love to know when you..

you know, when you succeed."

The first week ended at last, bringing the day when Sala could speak to Cham again

Then when you get faster, you can try more difficult ones."

Cham went on and on, and Sala began to wonder when he would stop talking

He loved to talk when he was happy

She was about to knock, when she saw that this one wasn't closed either

Even when he took her in his arms, it didn't feel quite the same.

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

She was saving all her strength for when they saw Cham.

'Manderley was looking very lovely when I came away.' There was another silence

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

You must look at people when they are speaking

'And then we could open the bottle when we wanted to remember the moment again.'

'You haven't got a cold, have you?' said Mrs Van Hopper when she saw my face.

'I hate waiting around when everything is packed,' Mrs Van Hopper said bad temperedly

The sun will be shining for you when we come to Manderley.'

I came here when the first Mrs de Winter was a bride.' Her voice was suddenly harsh

They used the rooms in the west wing when Mrs de Winter was alive

'I expect we'll get on well when she knows me better,' I said

I can swim too, when the weather is warmer.'

One afternoon, I was having tea alone when the wife of the bishop called

What happened to it? Was it the boat Rebecca was sailing when she died?'

And when I meet anyone new, I know what they are thinking: "How different she is from Rebecca." '

'Darling,' I said to Maxim when we were alone, 'I meant to tell you before, but I forgot

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

Even when we have visitors, you sit on the edge of your chair and say only "yes" and "no".'

'Perhaps I did a very selfish thing when I married you,' he said slowly

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

'You looked quite different when I saw you before,' Beatrice told me

'I think he came to Manderley quite a lot when Rebecca was alive

It was on a Sunday afternoon when someone spoke about the Fancy Dress Ball again

I'll come down when I'm ready.'

But he will understand when you speak to him

'Frank, it's me,' I said when he answered

He was happy when we were in Italy together.'

'I looked after her when she was a child

And that's how she was when she grew up

You! Why, even the servants laughed at you when you came to Manderley.'

You'll go to him like you did when Mr Favell came here.

'Mr de Winter was jealous of Mr Favell when she was alive

How could I ask you to love me when I knew you loved Rebecca?'

He started to come here when I was away.'

She was smiling when I killed her

I saw her smile when she died.'

'They will think the boat sank when Rebecca went down into the cabin

He has to be there when they get the boat up tomorrow

I rang the bell for a maid and when she came, I spoke to her angrily

Then the boat-builder will say that the boat was in good order when he last saw it

There was nothing wrong with that boat when I last saw it

They must be kept tightly closed when the boat is sailing

It was after six when I heard the sound of Maxim's car

We'll talk about everything when I get back

'I'm afraid Maxim is not here,' I said, when Favell walked into the room

We were taken by surprise when Frith brought the magistrate into the library.

He'll be there to hold the young bride's arm when Max is sentenced to death.'

Were you on the beach when she took her boat out for the last time?'

Instead, he rang the bell and when Frith came in, he said, 'Ask Mrs Danvers to come here, Frith.'

Rebecca had been pregnant when she died

He waved when he saw us and started up his car

She was laughing when she died.'

But perhaps they'd been mistaken when they identified the body

Nevertheless, she knew that when she had the dream again, she would find new hope in it as she had so many times before.

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.

Peanut-butter toast had been one of Danny's favorite foods, even when he was a toddler and was especially picky about what he would eat

Admittedly, she had also been relieved when it was finally over.

Danny had liked to draw, and the easel, complete with a box of pencils and pens and paints, had been a birthday gift when he was nine

She was positive that nothing had been written on the board when Danny had gone away on that scouting trip

He had seen Tina's work in some lounges around town, and he had surprised her when he'd offered her the chance to co-produce Magyck! At first, she hadn't been sure if she should take the job

If the audience at this evening's VIP premiere reacted enthusiastically, she might have to buy lead weights to keep herself from floating off the floor when she walked.

Shortly before noon, two high rollers from Dallas sat down at a blackjack table and, in three hours, lost a quarter of a million bucks; they were laughing and joking when they left the table to try another game

This evening she would call Michael, when she got home from the premiere and the party afterward

Even these days, when most machines could be played with electronically validated value cards, the nickel duchesses wore black gloves to keep their hands from becoming filthy after hours of handling coins and pulling levers; they always sat on stools while they played, and they remembered to alternate hands when operating the machines in order not to strain the muscles of one arm, and they carried bottles of liniment just in case.

They cheered one another on those rare occasions when one of them hit a really large jackpot; and when one of them died, the others went to the funeral en masse

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

She was about to head for the den when she noticed something odd about four framed eight-by-ten photographs that were grouped on the wall above the sofa

This was the sound she had heard when she'd been in the kitchen - this clatter.

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

Less than ten minutes later, when the curtains opened again, the mirrors had been taken away, and the stage had been transformed into an ice rink; the second production number was done on skates against a winter backdrop so real that it made Elliot shiver.

A flickering, nervous scowl played across her face, alternating with a tentative smile that appeared when the audience laughed, applauded, or gasped in surprise.

He says I'd just make the performers nervous and cause the technicians to look over their shoulders for the boss when they should have their eyes on their work."

And when I was young, I was very awkward."

She would call him in the morning when she had regained some of her strength.

She didn't dream anymore, and when she woke at ten o'clock, she was refreshed and newly excited by the previous night's success.

If the mess had been here when Vivienne arrived, the old woman would have cleaned it up and would have left a note about what she'd found

Some dealers were cold and uncommunicative, but Michael felt the day went faster when he was friendly with people

He was shuffling cards when he saw her, and he continued to shuffle while he spoke

She waited impatiently as the five minutes crawled by; she was never comfortable in a casino when it was busy

And when all of a sudden someone does hit it big, especially on a slot machine where it can happen in a flash, they're so surprised they pass out

Anyway, when he finally gets hungry and realizes he hasn't eaten, he gulps down a huge meal, and the blood rushes from his head to his stomach, and he passes out in the middle of the restaurant

It's not usually dangerous, except if he has a mouthful of food when he faints, because then he might choke to death.

She'd always known when he was lying

That was why he'd smiled when he'd seen her at his blackjack table

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

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

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

She smiled when she thought of him, then picked up the sheaf of papers that Angela had given her, anxious to finish her work.

She had counted only twenty-two names when she came to an incredible message that the computer had inserted in the list.

She scanned another forty names and cringed when she saw what else the computer had printed.

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

But when she attempted to type in her instruction, the keyboard was locked; the keys wouldn't depress.

Tina kept a well-stocked bar in one corner of her office for those infrequent occasions when a business associate needed a drink after a long work session

But it wasn't any recollection of your son that had you so upset when I walked in a little while ago."

Angela felt the chill first, when she got the initial printout with those lines about Danny

"Then what did you mean when you said I'd probably need professional help to catch this creep?"

I didn't dwell on it when I was alone, like I'd done for so long

It never lasts for long, but when I first wake up, I'm sure he's alive somewhere

You see, I've convinced my conscious mind that my boy is dead, but when I'm asleep it's my subconscious mind that's in charge; and my subconscious just isn't convinced that Danny's gone."

"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."

Apparently, when a child dies, one of the worst things a parent can do is refuse to look at the body while it's lying in a casket

She recalled the hatred in Michael's face when she'd left him a few hours ago

"Every great chef must be an egomaniac when it comes to his culinary art

"When I was poor, I looked forward to the day when I'd have a lovely home full of beautiful things, all arranged by the very best interior decorator

Then, when I had the money, I didn't want some stranger furnishing it for me

And when she died..

But still there are moments when..."

"You're so modest about having built a splendid law practice, yet you're an egomaniac when it comes to your cooking."

Suddenly it seemed to her that she had done a mad, stupid thing when she'd hidden away like a nun for two years

He kissed her ears, her eyes again, and left a chain of kisses along her neck, and when at last he returned to her mouth, he kissed her more deeply than before, and she responded at once, opening her mouth to him.

But when he returned, she kissed him tentatively, found that nothing had changed, and pressed against him once more.

The exhumation of Danny's body would be good for her, regardless of the horror that she might have to confront when the coffin lid was raised

When at last she drove away, he watched her car until it turned the corner and disappeared, and when she was gone, he knew why he had not wanted to let her go

This was perfect weather for flying, one of those crystalline days when being above the earth would make him feel clean and free.

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

"And when the dust finally settled," Elliot said, "my client would win the right to exhume the body anyway."

He had just opened a bottle of balsamic vinegar and poured four ounces into a measuring cup when he heard movement behind him.

"And when you've finished, I'll have a brain the consistency of grape jelly."

He's going to hear the questions anyway when he finally sits down

I was in Army Intelligence back when

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

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

"And when you're done puking your guts out," Vince said, "I'm going to grab you by your balls and drag you over to the table."

The story was set in the mid-nineteenth century, when a physician's perception of the thin line between life and death was often cloudy

Danny certainly had been dead when they had buried him.

And if, by some million-to-one chance, the boy had been alive when he'd been buried, why would it take an entire year for her to receive a vision from the spirit world?

She must have glimpsed the grotesque figure of Death on the cover of the magazine when Danny first brought the issue home from the newsstand.

She had paged through only two of the magazines Danny had bought, the first two, when she had been trying to make up her mind whether such unusual reading material could have any harmful effects on him

Elliot's Mercedes was parked at the far curb, and she was six or eight feet from the car when the sudden outward-sweeping shock of the explosion shoved her forward

Sol said we were to pull in, out of the driveway, so that he'd have a place to put the boat when he got here with it."

"Remember maybe ten years ago when that Texas elections official revealed how Lyndon Johnson's first local election was fixed? The guy said he was just trying to clear his conscience after all those years

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

"I like it better when you're on top," he said, and he winked at her.

"I found it when I was cleaning out Danny's room

Tina stopped when they reached the purple light under the mercury-vapor lamp

"And you know what it reminds me of? It's the same damn feeling I had in Angela's office when that computer terminal started operating on its own

"Amazing," he said when he finished skimming The Boy Who Was Not Dead.

Even after all this time, when she thought about Danny's last moments on earth - the terror he must have known, the excruciating pain he must have endured, even if it was of brief duration - she began to choke with sorrow and pity

Even a primarily good government, when it's big enough, has some pretty mean sharks swimming in the darker currents

Chilled, Tina said, "But how much could the kids have seen? You're the one who said security was easy to maintain when one of these installations is located in the wilderness

The coffin was sealed when it arrived, and we didn't open it."

Her hand shook when she raised her glass to drink the last of her own Coors.

"So when do we leave for Reno?" she asked.

They might track us when we use the cards, but not for a couple of days."

She became aware of the familiar, spiritlike presence that had been in Angela's office when the computer had begun to operate by itself

The windstorm was still in progress, but it was not raging as fiercely as it had been when Elliot and Tina had watched it through the restaurant window

"-so bubbly when-"

It was Danny who reached out for me when I was at work..

Apparently, the pooch slipped out of the gate when the gardeners came around

But when Bruckster had come into the hotel thirty minutes ago, Evans had been chatting with the players at his blackjack table, cracking jokes, and grinning as if nothing of any importance had happened in his life lately.

Bruckster hadn't been able to get close to Evans when the dealer left the blackjack pit at the beginning of the break

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

The other dealers streamed by, and when Evans finally turned away from the waitress, he was the last in the procession as it moved toward the blackjack pits.

The active poison itself had already penetrated the victim's body, done its work, and begun to break down into a series of naturally occurring chemicals that would raise no alarms when the coroner later studied the results of the usual battery of forensic tests

His ships, sealed in their glass worlds, relaxed him; he liked to spend time with them when he had a problem to work out or when he was on edge, for they made him feel serene, and that security allowed his mind to function at peak performance.

That was something one tended to forget when he spent his life in the intelligence game

Christina Evans probably hadn't entertained a single doubt about the official explanation of the Sierra accident; she probably hadn't known a damned thing about Pandora when she had requested an exhumation, but her timing couldn't have been worse.

They would have opened the grave secretly, at night, when the cemetery was closed, switching the remains of the fake Danny for the rocks that were currently in the casket

And that was when he was young and relatively inexperienced

He hadn't gotten his papers yet when we found ourselves needing a cooperative mortician

They aren't the same as they were when he first came in here a year ago."

"And if they haven't set a trap, I've got to be there when you question Bellicosti."

He didn't lock the doors, because it was possible that he and Tina would need to get into the car in a hurry when they returned.

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

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

They had taken only two steps from the window when Elliot saw the snow move no more than twenty feet from them

When they were nearly halfway across the graveyard, when Elliot was positive they weren't being pursued, he stopped, leaned against a tall monument, and tried not to take such huge, deep gulps of the painfully cold air

when you were in the army..."

Give them a chance to see you when they turn into the street

I was convinced I no longer needed or wanted the kind of thrills that I thrived on when I was younger."

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

George, on the other hand, hadn't filled a post of genuine stature and authority until six years ago, when he was thirty-six

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

He decided he would kill her himself when the time came, and that thought gave him an instant erection.

She reached Danny, and when she touched him, the chains fell magically away from his arms and legs

I saw them at the parent-son scout meeting when he explained why the trip would be perfectly safe."

But it feels so weird when he takes control..

The table, the chairs, the credenza, and the hutch all glowed warmly because of the prodigious amount of furniture polish that had been buffed into the wood with even more vigor than he had employed when shining his dazzling shoes

But will you tell me one day when you aren't in such a damn rush?"

Elliot was not sure when Tina slipped under the hypnotist's spell, and he had no idea how this smooth mesmerism was accomplished

He blinked his eyes and tuned out Sandstone's melodious voice when he realized that he was succumbing to it.

You will respond to me only when I speak directly to you

They're going to find us sooner or later, and when they get their hands on us, they'll kill us."

If we're lucky, we'll have Danny when we come out, and he probably won't be in any condition to trek through the Sierras in the dead of winter."

You can do that sort of thing as long as they know for sure you're capable of paying the entire bill when it comes due a month later."

"Can a couple of people like us really have a chance of winning when we're up against something as big as the government itself?"

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

It was remarkably free of ruts and chuckholes for most of its length, although the Explorer scraped bottom a few times when the track took sudden, sharp dips.

The guard stopped halfway to the Explorer and turned toward the gate when he saw it moving, unable to believe his eyes.

When he discovered the nature of the maps, when he realized that one of them was missing, and when he discovered that the missing map was the one Stryker would need in order to find the Project Pandora labs, Alexander felt his face flush with anger and chagrin

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.

She looked around, waiting for some sign from her child, and she and Elliot twitched in surprise when the overhead fluorescent tube winked off, then came on again

He was paging through a book when they burst in

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

Of course, when that was accomplished, Danny was of no more scientific value

Minutes ago, when Tina had first peered through the observation window, when she had seen the frighteningly thin child, she had told herself that she would not cry

Danny became excited when he saw her drawing near, and in spite of his terrible condition, he shakily thrust himself into a sitting position, clutching at the bed rails with one frail, trembling hand, eagerly extending his other hand toward her.

She was overwhelmed with the joy of seeing him again but also with fear when she realized how hideously wasted he was.

When she gingerly pulled off the adhesive tape, he whimpered, and she winced when she saw the rawness of his skin under the bandage

And when the host expires, the Wuhan-400 within him perishes a short while later, as soon as the temperature of the corpse drops below eighty-six degrees Fahrenheit

Almost thirteen months ago, when Danny and the other boys in his troop were on their winter survival outing, one of our scientists, a quirky son of a bitch named Larry Bollinger, accidentally contaminated himself while he was working alone one morning in this lab."

To Dombey, she said, "Surely you have safeguards, procedures to follow when and if-"

They were just about to move off the road, into the trees, so they would be away from any sign of civilization when they set up camp for their first night in the wilderness

That was when the security team arrived

In the isolation chamber, when Dombey finished speaking, Tina said, "Danny looks so awful

So when you get him out of here, take him to a brain specialist

They'll help support your story when you go to the press with it

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

The Eyes of Darkness is a modest little thriller about a woman, Tina Evans, who lost her child, Danny, when he was in an accident on a trip with his scouting troop

Your surgeon cuts off your left foot when it was your gangrenous right foot he should have amputated

Eventually, after a bad first draft, he was taken off the project when he missed several extensions of his contractual deadline

Because I was never in the room with both partners, getting a thoughtful response to a story note I'd given was impossible, because neither could speak for the other and could only promise to consult when next they met at the deathbed of whatever beloved person expired that week.

If you haven't yet read The Eyes of Darkness, I am giving away nothing important in the story when I tell you that eventually, in a search for her lost son, Tina ventures into the High Sierras in winter, where she comes across a paved road, in the middle of the wilderness, that features heating coils under the pavement to prevent snow from sticking to it

But when I read further, I discovered that Tina comes to a glowing red road

My father, Joseph, had a brother, my uncle Elias, who went to live in America when he was young

But when the South lost the war, and there was equality for black people, Uncle Elias left America

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

"I don't know anyone in Pondicherry!" he said, but when he opened the envelope, five little orange pips fell on to his plate

I began to laugh but stopped when I saw my uncle's white face.

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

'When did your uncle get the letter from India, and when did he die?'

The police said that he was walking home in the dark when he fell down a hill

The writer was on a ship when he wrote the letters,' I replied

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

The worst thing is when the telephone rings in the dead of night

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

So when my sister-in-law phoned at two in the morning, asking me to come over, but first to warn the police that she had just killed my brother, I spoke in my usual calm manner.

I had just managed to pull on trousers and a shirt and grab a hat and coat, when a black Citroen stopped outside the door.

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

She never tried to defend herself and even got quite annoyed when she realized people thought she was mad

The police laboratory at Lyons reported that Andre's head had been wrapped in a piece of velvet when it was smashed by the hammer

even when catching flies.'

'Have you noticed that she never catches flies when the boy is there?' he said.

'And when did you see this fly for the first time?'

He could see a time when there would be no aeroplanes, ships, trains or cars and, therefore, no roads or railway lines, ports, airports or stations

We had a special dinner to celebrate and at the end of the meal, when the servant brought in the bottle of champagne, Andre took it from her.

It was just a little later when Henri came running into the room to say that he had caught a funny fly

Helene, when you knock, I'll open the door

Knock on the door when you are ready and I will explain what you have to do.

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

'But when I'm trying things just get worse

Later, when she was reading the amount collected on the church notice board, she saw that no pound note had been received

'I saw her go round to the study window.' Miss Marple lives next door and sees everything, usually when she is gardening.

that when they were abroad, her husband was killed

'Awful old woman,' said Griselda, when the ladies had gone

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

Sadly, our dinner only proved Griselda had been right when she'd said that the more she tried, the worse things went

However, I was not surprised when after dinner he suggested we went to my study.

On Thursday, I was leaving the church and going home for lunch when I met Colonel Protheroe.

'He came out of prison yesterday and is promising to punish me! Why? Because when I, as a magistrate, sent him to prison, I did not consider his wife and children

It was nearly seven when I returned

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

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

We thought that Inspector Slack would come and ask me what it was I had wanted to tell him, so we were surprised when Mary told us that he had gone

We had just sat down to breakfast when she appeared at the door

And I was surprised when I heard he had confessed.'

Babies, not us, decide when they'll arrive

'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

'And they came out - when?' Colonel Melchett asked

I couldn't believe it when I heard the police had arrested him

So when you hear a shot, you naturally think it comes from there.'

'Like you did when Miss Wetherby's bag of onions disappeared

'Do you lock the cottage up when you go out?'

'Would she remember when she last saw the pistol?'

'Oh! Was he sitting there when he was killed?'

'Ah!' said Inspector Slack, 'that explains something Mary said when I spoke to her

She stopped when she saw us

So when I heard a shot in the woods, I...'

My family demanded a full account of the morning's activities, when I arrived

He was probably very angry about being sent to prison but would feel differently when he came out.

But Miss Marple was sure she had seen nobody in the road when he and Anne were in the studio.

Mrs Protheroe said that she had last seen her husband at about a quarter to six when they parted in the village street

The last time she had seen it was on the day of the murder at lunchtime when she left.

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

She said, "By this time tomorrow night, you may be dead." So when I heard about the murder, I said to Rose, "It's her who did it!"'

I found her here when I came back from that inquest

"Well," I said, "There was no hat here when I cleaned the room on Thursday morning." And she said, "But I don't expect you would have seen it

Here Protheroe had sat when he had been shot

Inspector Slack's orders, when I spoke to him on the telephone, were short and strong

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

All these things were in the attic when I married Lucius and I've never looked at them before

Especially when-' She paused

Especially when he marries me

And when I found Lettice alone downstairs in the sitting room, I went in and shut the door.

Because the last time I saw, this earring was on Friday morning when I came to Old Hall with Colonel Melchett

I was almost there when an idea suddenly came into my brain

'Because I was in the woods when I suddenly thought about it.'

Then, when it was safe, he planned to return and collect it one night

'Of course, when the expert saw the silver, he would know it wasn't the real thing, and then Colonel Protheroe would remember that he had shown the things to Dr Stone...'

'A reason, yes, but when the shot was fired, Dr Stone was walking to the village with Mrs Protheroe and Lawrence Redding.'

'My servant, Clara, was standing at the front gate, when she heard a sneeze.'

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

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

'But she wasn't here when I sent Mary for you

I mean, when we discovered the body.'

That evening, as I sat down to dinner, Griselda said, 'Oh, I forgot to tell you, Len, this note arrived for you when you were out.'

And when there is a mystery and I think I know the answer, it is so satisfying to find that I am right.'

'Oh!' Miss Marple was just about to step into the garden when she suddenly stopped

I had just sat down at my desk again, when the doorbell rang

You know that letter that Protheroe was writing when he was killed?'

It was eleven o'clock at night, but when I saw a light in a certain upstairs window, I stopped and rang the doorbell

So I asked them to call me when the line was free.

I was beginning to read it a third time when the telephone rang

It felt as though years had passed when I heard the door open and Melchett entered the room

'So sorry, Colonel Melchett, but when I heard that Mr Hawes was ill, I felt I must come and see if I could do something.'

You remember, Mr Clement that I was quite shocked when I heard Mr Redding had confessed to the crime

It upset all my ideas and made me think he was not guilty - when up to then I had been sure that he was.'

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

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

'But when they did come out, their behaviour was happy and normal

But when he left the letter, he found the one written by Colonel Protheroe

'But the shot was heard at 6.30 when Lawrence and Anne had come out of the studio

'Yes, but when you appeared, he pretended that he was bringing it to me for my Japanese garden

Then, when Mr Hawes was unconscious, he put this letter into his pocket

'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

But when she had found nothing, she had dropped Anne's earring by the desk.

It's coming into your life, too! And you can't call me a dear child any more when we have a real child of our own

My wife was just about to kiss me when suddenly she pulled away.

One night, when the first missile was probably less than 15,000,000 kilometres away, I went for a walk with my wife

That quieted him a little, and when he saw Henderson, the London journalist, in his garden, he shouted over the fence and made himself understood.

My wife was shocked when she saw me, because I looked so tired and dirty

The storm had left the sky clear, and over the smoke of the burning land the tiny bright light of Mars was dropping into the west, when a soldier came quietly into my garden

They were turning their gun to fire on one of the tripods when it suddenly exploded

It was already raising the case which sent the Heat-Ray when the first shell burst six metres above its head.

My younger brother was in London when the Martians fell at Woking

These broke when they hit the ground - they did not explode - and let out an enormous amount of thick Black Smoke

It was heavy, this smoke, so when it began to sink down it behaved like a liquid, running down hills and into the valleys

Usually, when it had done its work, the Martian cleared the air by blowing steam at it.

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

It seemed that she had had a gun all the time, but it had been under her seat when they were attacked

It was about two o'clock when my brother got onto it with the two women

The little steamboat was already moving out to sea, when a Martian appeared, small and far away, moving along the muddy coast from the south

It went straight towards a second Martian, and was within a hundred metres of it when the Heat-Rav hit it

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

I lay there unconscious for a long time, the curate told me, and when I woke up he was wiping my face with a wet handkerchief.

The curate was watching through the hole when the first men were brought there

I searched every room for food until, when I was ready to give up, I found some bread and two tins of fruit in one of the bedrooms

'Stop!' he cried, when I was within ten metres of him, and I stopped

'It seems to me that at the moment they catch us when they want food

Neither of us wanted to start digging again, and when he suggested a meal I was quite happy to agree.

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

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

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

Across the pit, on its further edge, lay the great flying-machine which they had been testing in our heavier atmosphere when disease and death stopped them

I remember, clearly and in great detail, all that I did that day until the time when I stood crying on the top of Primrose Hill

They knew of it in Dublin, Edinburgh, Manchester and Birmingham at the time when I stood on the edge of the pit

Very gently, when my mind was working again, they told me all they knew about what had happened in Leatherhead

Seven months ago, when these planets were close together, faint, dark marks appeared on photographs which suggested that a cylinder had been fired from one to the other.

So when the slow cooling of the sun means that we cannot continue to live on Earth, it may be that life which began here can reach out and continue there.

We walked for two hours, and it was almost five when we returned to Baker Street.

'Effie, my wife was a young widow only twenty-five years old, when I met her

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

'"Jack," she said, "when you took my money you said that if I ever wanted some, I should just ask you."

'I was looking at the cottage, when suddenly I saw a face watching me from an upper window

'That same night something strange happened! In the middle of the night, when I was not completely asleep, I became aware that my wife was dressed and was leaving the room

As I stood there, imagine my surprise, Mr Holmes, when the door suddenly opened and my wife walked out!

'Now, go back to Norbury, and when you see that those people have returned to the cottage, call us

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

Her face was turned away from us when we entered the room, but we could see she was wearing a red dress and long white gloves

William Harris told us how he felt when he went to bed

Harris was right about camping out when it rains

They had probably had a boat at the end of the rope when they started

It is never boring when three girls tow a boat.

Why did we wake up so early? It never happens to us when we're working.

George and I were sorry when it was finished.

We thought about the happy days of childhood when there was lots of mustard on the table

But, when we heard the bad words that came from the other boat, we knew we were near people

But when we peeled our first potato, we understood that this was not exciting - it was hard work

But when it's rainy, the river is brown and unfriendly.

Nature is beautiful even when it rains,' I said.

But, I think we were right to come back when we did

It was when Mercy got up to go to the bedroom that Connie noticed the new shoes.

'Hmm, when don't I? With the baby coming in a couple of months and the government's new controls on pay

Particularly when you have no mother or father.

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

She listened with interest and looked surprised when I told her the part about Mrs Fairlie.

'She wrote this to her second husband, Mr Philip Fairlie, when he was in London on business

I stood up quickly, feeling the same sudden fear I had felt when that hand touched my arm at the lonely crossroads

One day, when I had been at Limmeridge for three months, Miss Halcombe asked me to walk with her in the garden

Years later, when Anne discovered this, she considered him responsible and developed a passionate hatred for him.

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

'We'll discuss the details another time, when you're feeling better.'

At Limmeridge, he was always friendly, but when he saw me yesterday he was cold

He has intelligent grey eyes; when I look into them, I feel things that I do not want to feel

'I'll happily sign when I know what's in it,' said Laura

Later, when we were alone, he told me he had only married me for my money

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

How she hates him! She said that her mother had told her a secret - Percival's secret - and when he discovered that Anne knew it, he put her in the asylum.-'

'I'm afraid that when you so kindly brought my handkerchief to me you probably heard Laura say something very offensive

'I hope that you and the Count will understand that Laura wasn't herself when she spoke those words

The Count replied, 'Later, when the ladies are asleep.' I said that I had a headache and went up to my room earlier than usual

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

I am the housekeeper at Blackwater Park, and I took care of Miss Halcombe when she was ill

The next day, when the Count returned from the lake, I heard Sir Percival ask him, 'Did you find her?' The Count did not reply but he smiled

Imagine my feelings, Walter, when I saw my dear sister there in the asylum, and that everyone believed she was Anne Catherick! I gave the nurse one hundred pounds to help Laura escape

His mother was already married when his father - Sir F - met her

She had married in Ireland but returned to her parents in Hampshire when her husband treated her badly

No one in Hampshire knew anything about her marriage, so when Sir F said that he had married her, no one suspected anything

Sir F told Sir P the truth when he was dying

That is when he came to me.

The vicar says hello to me! But back then, when Anne was a child, my life was very hard

He told me that Percival was dead, and that you were investigating Percival's secret when he died

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