He quickly agreed and the two strolled, for the first time since Christmas, to St. Daniel's Catholic Church, a few blocks away.
There was only a few of them, see.
Ridgway, a few more miles away from the backdrop of mountains, provided a spectacular view.
The land went to his wife but then she died a few years later.
Cynthia, trailing a few steps behind, bumped into him as they stopped and stared at the gaping opening.
A few feet further, in a dry grotto scooped out from the main walkway, something glinted in Dean's flashlight.
While they had made no effort to be quiet, they now moved forward with caution, pausing every few steps to listen.
Grabbing a camera, he hopped out into the fury of the storm, "for a few quick lightning shots."
After receiving their thanks, he took off at a jog, anxious, he said, to catch a few more post-storm shots as the sun emerged.
Another woman, a very tall blond, stood a few paces back, a smile on her face, watching the old man.
While Cynthia took her shower, Dean made a few phone calls, asking for Ms. Dawkins, but after a dozen tries, he came up empty.
Dean reached in his pocket as he was undressing for bed a few hours later.
We've got a few thousand kids in real danger of immediate, physical harm.
With the DNA you could tell whose finger it was, if you happened to have the rest of the guy's body or a few squirts of his liquids.
If they were unsecured for a few days anyone could have pinched them.
It would get you a few votes for sheriff, I bet.
Let the boys fight over the few stocks and bonds Paul left, but I want to keep his fantasy.
Driving was out of the question as the mid-morning parade, scheduled to begin in a few minutes, was forming on Main Street, which was now closed to traffic.
One of the fire trucks, a few positions ahead of Dean, periodically let go with a squirt to the screech and scream of the victims.
They crossed Canyon Creek and the site of an avalanche a few years earlier, now evidenced by the rubble of broken, twisted trees and displaced earth.
I have few opportunities like this and the season is so short.
They huffed their way, with Jennifer laughingly stopping to catch her breath every few steps.
They waited, and after a few seconds there was the distinct sound of movement above them.
A few moments later, Dickinson Faust stepped into sight.
They'd traveled several hundred yards when Dean saw it, nearly covered by brush and invisible from all but a few feet away.
The slope dropped at a precarious angle, impossible to maneuver unsecured, only a few degrees from the perpendicular.
He stumbled the last few steps onto the road and into a glare of lights and buzz of activity.
She hugged him again but after a few moments he pulled back.
But cogent thoughts were few and he began to feel like an empty-nested squirrel facing a long, tough winter.
After a few words of greeting, each candidate was directed to stand on either side of the raised platform.
Speeding on our highways— Mr. Dean knows about that first-hand—my competent deputy arrested him for doing just that a few days ago.
She limped a few steps forward.
Time was when this area's families spent their lives here, from birth to death with the soil providing their sustenance and the earth the riches, at least for a few.
Back on the pavement, Dean pedaled past Tom, a well-known wild turkey who'd in past months adopted a location on the highway from which he never seemed to stray more than a few hundred yards.
He pulled at Fitzgerald's arm and tugged him a few feet away.
The realization struck Cynthia, too, and as neither had slept particularly well, both plodded through the early morning chores with few words passing between them.
The Dexter Creek Road departed from the highway a few miles north of town and climbed sharply up the eastern escarpment of the valley.
The gravel road led past a small subdivision, then a few individual houses and small but beautiful Lake Lenoir, before climbing into the open and leading to a beautiful panorama of the Uncompahgre Valley and the snow-capped mountains to the west.
The guy scares me and believe me, there are damn few guys who do that!
I gave them a few dollars for the land they've been fighting over.
She flipped a few strands of her blond hair back in place.
You could probably fix a date within a few years at least.
I just took a few gut punches, that's all.
Between bites, Martha regaled the few late rising guests that lingered around the dining room with stories of her adventure and the bus window sights she'd visited.
Fitzgerald still had not reported to Denver but it was now thought he'd taken a few days of leave to sort things out.
Finally things calmed down enough to give Dean and his wife a few minutes of free time.
They were quiet for a few moments.
There was a lot about some guy from here who turned up missing fishing over on the Gunnison River, but they just stopped mentioning it after a few weeks.
Dean took a deep breath and crept a few tentative steps into the darkness.
Aunt Helen died a few years later.
While he grumbled for a few days, he was far too busy as Dean's election chairman.
Seeing the bet, he decided he wanted to stick around long enough to observe a few more events in the women's futures.
Wynn entered and stopped a few steps into the room, not expecting what was before him.
As she watched Cora, Deidre began to think she'd missed a lot over the past few months despite trying to pay attention to the human world.
There were a few people in the store.
She hadn't heard the demon drop from the top of the building to land a few feet behind her.
In the course of a few months, the old understanding between Immortals and demons – that humans were off-limits – crashed to the ground.
I was going to die in a few days.
He did a few days ago.
It'll take a few seconds only.
She stopped and gazed around, spotting a small dirt trail a few feet away.
Maybe Darkyn is still pissed at me for breaking into Hell to rescue our friends a few months ago.
It was his secret power, the one few others knew about.
She watched it for a few seconds, entranced by the movement.
A few floated away until caught by another current while others settled nearby.
Dropping the last few feet to the ground, she regained her balance.
Gabriel could move forward, try to win over the woman who seemed much more interested in him than she had a few days ago, before her deal with the Dark One.
A few seconds later, Deidre's blond head bobbed to the surface.
The events he spoke of occurred just a few months before, when Darkyn was attacking the Immortals and before Rhyn took over the Council That Was Seven.
Until you took my soul a few months ago, I was there because I loved you and for no other reason.
He had no idea what she'd been through the past few days at the hands of Darkyn.
He took her arm with one of the hands that had explored every part of her body – or the body he thought was hers - not even a few hours before.
His eyes went back to the girl who had been human just a few days ago.
He was nothing like the deities who didn't mind sacrificing a few humans to get what they wanted.
He released her, and she gave another curtsy then took a few steps back.
Josh's sister had made a few comments to indicate that she thought Josh might have ended his life purposely because he still loved Carmen.
They stood that way, inches apart, for a few moments.
She had removed the sides of the shelter a few weeks ago for the summer so they would have fresh air and a breeze as well.
Carmen had removed the nest box only a few days ago.
Katie listened attentively and then thought it over a few minutes.
As soon as the mother entered the house, he pocketed the phone, scaled the fence at a low corner, crossed to the surprised boy in a few steps, and placed a rag over his face.
Brenda was given a few days off and the dust settled.
Jenn returned after a few minutes, her gaze softening.
By the time Dean strolled by a few moments later, red-faced Fitzgerald was getting an ear full from a half dozen tourists and an elderly local, known for his unwavering opinions and surly disposition.
Dean's feelings were mixed about Pumpkin's visit but on the plus side, there were a few more bucks in Bird Song's bank account.
Amused, he dropped the sweater into the bag, grabbed a few more and a pair jeans.
Most mares foal at night, but I think it may happen within a few hours.
Alex grabbed Carmen's waist and pulled her back a few steps.
That might happen a few times.
Carmen studied the foal for a few minutes.
The next few minutes happened so fast that she barely had time to think, much less react.
I saw him a few times.
Not more than a few minutes could have elapsed, and yet there he lay – possibly dying.
I know it's a bad time, but could I get you to answer a few questions?
We'll be taking him to ICU in a few minutes and it will be awhile before we know anything.
A nurse will take you in to see him for a few minutes.
The nurse arrived after a few minutes and led her in to see Alex.
She had been taking care of everything to do with their homes for the last few years, so that was familiar territory.
But after a few more attempts at rousing him, she was convinced that the frown was purely coincidence.
At first she had thought of him as being asleep, but in the last few days reality was beginning to sink in.
Behind them the red-headed man followed for only a few seconds before turning back toward the house.
An ambulance screamed by a few minutes later.
She was gone for only a few minutes and then returned.
He was only awake a few minutes and then fell asleep again.
She continued to work at the other bed for a few minutes and then stopped, turning to Carmen.
For a few seconds there was silence on the other end of the line.
They removed the feeding tube and fed him a semi-liquid diet of soft food for a few days.
His father visited for a few more minutes before saying goodbye and leaving.
After he had been gone for a few minutes, Carmen dragged a chair up close to Alex.
I have to stay around until a few things are worked out.
For the next few days, he steadily improved – even to the point of walking on his own.
She only made it a few steps away from him when she felt a tug on her back belt loop.
Alex and Jonathan had a relationship that required few words.
A few hours later Alex and Jonathan were out doing chores and Carmen was in the kitchen fixing supper.
As Carmen expected, he went back to work only a few days after he came home.
