    0
    0
  • One might argue that manipulating the Future and unfettered access to the present provides more than enough influence.

    0
    0
  • The strange calm she felt around Zamon remained, and she recalled more clearly Darkyn's words about how the original Dark One lured in his prey.

    0
    0
  • There were days when she wished she was more like him, capable of great evil.

    0
    0
  • I can't imagine the impact of both on him when one is more than enough.

    0
    0
  • Deidre kept her thoughts to herself, growing more distressed with the visit.

    0
    0
  • Past-Death waited for her to say more.

    0
    0
  • But I see more.

    0
    0
  • When he said no more, she smiled slightly.

    0
    0
  • Her hope had been crushed in every other way – except that it stirred once more at the idea there was more to him than she knew.

    0
    0
  • Though she doubted he was capable of emotions like she was, he was capable of more than he claimed, too.

    0
    0
  • We are not capable of more, he added.

    0
    0
  • I know there was more to why she sought me out but I don't understand what.

    0
    0
  • The light of the black fire was too dim for her to see much more than the outline of his form.

    0
    0
  • This time, there was more than insatiable lust and need in his kiss.

    0
    0
  • Deidre felt tears on her cheeks once more.

    0
    0
  • As much as it didn't make sense, as much as his day job terrified her … She wanted Darkyn, more so now that she knew he had a side – however tiny – that was capable of caring for her and only her.

    0
    0
  • Maybe because it made her stay here feel more permanent.

    0
    0
  • Selyn nodded once more.

    0
    0
  • Deidre gripped Selyn's arm more tightly, fear spiraling through her.

    0
    0
  • The response was more of a grunt.

    0
    0
  • The growl low in her chest sounded more like a rattle.

    0
    0
  • All I see is rock and more rock.

    0
    0
  • She called out, louder and more frantically this time, her voice echoing against the rock.

    0
    0
  • The sixty days came and went but Janet never returned, leaving jail, a few more bad checks, and Colorado for parts unknown.

    0
    0
  • Martha, whose stay with them was at first a simple good deed, then a delight and now so very much more.

    0
    0
  • David and Cynthia Dean had experienced little success in trying to secure a more formal arrangement for long term custody of Martha, managing only undocumented assignment as temporary foster parents.

    0
    0
  • She deserves more—much more, and I truly believe we could provide it.

    0
    0
  • What's more, none seemed bent on murder, a decided improvement over some of Bird Song's earlier guests!

    0
    0
  • People did things differently—spanking was more acceptable then, but now we know hitting causes anger and rebellion.

    0
    0
  • The pair spent the balance of the morning emptying the washing machine and dryer, only to fill them with never-ending loads, while in between clearing dishes, brewing more coffee, and playing the jovial innkeepers.

    0
    0
  • He bit into more pastry.

    0
    0
  • Dean grabbed the near-empty plate, salvaging the few remaining morsels while Pumpkin was searching for more empty pockets to fill as he rose to leave.

    0
    0
  • She acts more sorry for the woman, or exasperated, than afraid of her.

    0
    0
  • But if there's more on your mind, maybe it's something we can help you with.

    0
    0
  • But the brief exercise failed to dispel the glumness for more than a few moments.

    0
    0
  • You've got more time on your hands than an unemployed whaler.

    0
    0
  • It's more than that.

    0
    0
  • Dean held his wife closely, expecting more tears, but they didn't come.

    0
    0
  • They knew there was little more they could do or say to console the lonely child.

    0
    0
  • Even the usually bored Dawkinses ooh-ed and aah-ed appropriately but the brothers seemed more interested in the locale of the various shots than the scenery and flora so beautifully presented.

    0
    0
  • I tried to make a photographer out of my godson Billy, but I'm afraid at his age there are a lot more interesting things to do, and they all have female names.

    0
    0
  • It seems more like days than hours.

    0
    0
  • Fred displayed a tad more interest in the mysterious find than the prior evening.

    0
    0
  • Randy continued to talk, more rapidly than necessary, mentioning a small wedding.

    0
    0
  • Dean could do little more than put his arm around her.

    0
    0
  • Dean was feeling more comfortable that Cynthia just needed time to get her priorities in line.

    0
    0
  • Ridgway, a few more miles away from the backdrop of mountains, provided a spectacular view.

    0
    0
  • Cynthia didn't ask him to join her and he was more than happy to remain rocking a groove in the front porch decking.

    0
    0
  • Silly David Dean for thinking more time might be needed to put all these pesky details to rest.

    0
    0
  • Shouldn't we do more about the campaign?

    0
    0
  • But I'm glad you seem more comfortable about running for office.

    0
    0
  • I've chased more bad guys running Bird Song bed and breakfast than when I was a Parkside, Pennsylvania police detective.

    0
    0
  • Even the cat looked up, more from the cessation of her patting than Dean's expletive.

    0
    0
  • He'd traveled that road before, more than once.

    0
    0
  • He was a handsome kid who somehow reminded Dean of Cynthia's son, Randy, but more brash.

    0
    0
  • The chitchat roamed from details of Friday's luncheon to views on crime and punishment, which, as the booze went down, became more and more general.

    0
    0
  • I figured this county deserves a more astute sheriff than the current candidate, so I tossed my hat in the ring this morning.

    0
    0
  • The Deans and Fred were torn between discussing Fitzgerald's blockbuster announcement and this conversation, which was becoming more interesting by the minute.

    0
    0
  • It certainly does nothing to make the skeleton look more realistic.

    0
    0
  • I'm not sure why, but I do feel more comfortable.

    0
    0
  • I know I should be upset that Fitzgerald is running against you but I know his being in the race makes you want to run all the more.

    0
    0
  • At least we're taking some action, and we're doing it together—that makes me feel more secure.

    0
    0
  • The couple was hoping to get on the road ahead of one or more of the feuding Dawkinses, who might be moseying to the same destination.

    0
    0
  • However, they needed more supplies—additional batteries, a second flashlight, and marking chalk—all to be purchased at the variety store, which didn't open until eight o'clock.

    0
    0
  • The others, when not lingering over coffee, were peeking in the kitchen for more pastries.

    0
    0
  • To Dean, the tunnel was even more claustrophobic as he hunched forward, taking baby steps like a second grade schoolyard game.

    0
    0
  • Two more turns were negotiated and marked and in spite of their slow progress, according to the map they were nearing their goal.

    0
    0
  • They stood there, hearts even more accelerated, pounding in unison.

    0
    0
  • The passageway continued beyond where Martha had ventured and the Deans continued another hundred yards but once more the passageway forked.

    0
    0
  • They moved more quickly, retracing their steps toward the entrance.

    0
    0
  • When their breath returned to a more normal cadence and they were no longer perspiring, they rose to leave.

    0
    0
  • Maybe, but he strikes me as a more direct type—not someone who'd pull off a stunt like that.

    0
    0
  • More than enough, but once we reach the main Jeep road we're sure to see someone.

    0
    0
  • While Dean discounted hooligans as the source of his vandalism, he was more than happy to accept Brandon Westlake's timely rescue.

    0
    0
  • Westlake twisted around the seat once more and after a struggle pulled out an old step pump.

    0
    0
  • 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.

    0
    0
  • No other vehicles were encountered—the storm apparently frightened away the more faint-at-heart tourists.

    0
    0
  • The two drinks and lack of a third caused him to be more direct than normal politeness would dictate.

    0
    0
  • It looks like a hole in the ground that hasn't been touched in thirty years or more.

    0
    0
  • Dean resolved to try once more in the morning to get word to her.

    0
    0
  • A phone call excused him from hearing more of the robust bragging.

    0
    0
  • As long as he was on a roll, albeit a limited one, Dean had one more errand.

    0
    0
  • There were several more trunks in evidence.

    0
    0
  • Once you've got the bug, you'd no more pass up a good bargain than a cold beer on a hot day.

    0
    0
  • He asked, just to toss a little more chum in the water, "What happened to your mother?"

    0
    0
  • Joseph was ready to end the conversation but Dean was hoping for more fish in his creel.

    0
    0
  • Or, more intriguingly, perhaps one of the auction's bargain foot lockers contained the remains of the actual skeleton!

    0
    0
  • In addition to the five we bought, there were five or six—maybe seven more.

    0
    0
  • In the eyes of the Deans, it was looking more and more as if person or persons unknown did in fact take the original bones and switch them for the theatrical imitations Fitzgerald dragged out of The Lucky Pup mine.

    0
    0
  • The Deans found themselves alone on the front porch, with only Mrs. Lincoln for company, as Fred was off to the library for more research.

    0
    0
  • The question of who was responsible for Josh-the-skeleton coming to his untimely demise was even more obscure.

    0
    0
  • Yes, Dean thought, unless someone decides to get more serious about stopping us.

    0
    0
  • I kicked in more coins to our marriage than Paul ever did.

    0
    0
  • She seemed more genuinely shocked than irate.

    0
    0
  • Dean was more than just surprised by her request.

    0
    0
  • The entire town wouldn't have been more excited if the New Year's Rose Parade had come to little Ouray.

    0
    0
  • While the walk was less than a half-mile, Ouray's 7,800-foot elevation and the uphill rise caused Dean to quicken his breathing—one more reminder to get in shape.

    0
    0
  • There's more on the back seat.

    0
    0
  • I'm overwhelmed—couldn't have asked for more.

    0
    0
  • But the fact that some present-day person was trying to stop them from finding any answers somehow made the mystery more intriguing.

    0
    0
  • Besides, Dean thought, Randy—single or married—probably has more sense than to get knocked on his ass by a zillion pounds of water pressure aimed at his body.

    0
    0
  • The closer they drew, the more intense the pressure, and the more unstable they became.

    0
    0
  • The couple changed into shorts and boots, more satisfactory attire for their mountain drive with Jennifer Radisson.

    0
    0
  • More importantly, Dean now realized that the only real evidence that the remains from the mine were human had disappeared.

    0
    0
  • No, I think it's more.

    0
    0
  • Jennifer began snapping her small camera at the first vista until she realized she'd used more than half the roll.

    0
    0
  • The road continued to climb at a seemingly impossible grade, more rugged now with jagged rocks littering the uneven way.

    0
    0
  • The group left the Jeep and spent more than an hour on foot with Cynthia taking infinite care with each of her photos.

    0
    0
  • Jennifer, forced to husband her limited shots, took more time with hers as well.

    0
    0
  • The escape was less than stealthy, and it was impossible to tell if there was more than one pair of feet.

    0
    0
  • After they were settled in the vehicle and on their way back to town, Jennifer Radisson brought up the more mundane subjects of the mine and her litigation.

    0
    0
  • Jennifer said nothing more for the remainder of the trip down the mountain until the Jeep finally rolled onto pavement and they entered the still busy town.

    0
    0
  • When the phone rang for the fourth time, Dean assumed it was either a call for reservations or more discussion on the upcoming New Jersey wedding plans, but Cynthia held the phone against herself and called to her husband.

    0
    0
  • It will be light for a couple more hours at least.

    0
    0
  • Once is more than enough.

    0
    0
  • Darkness moved in quickly now, and he knew he'd soon need help and more light than a simple flashlight to locate a wreck, if in fact a vehicle had plunged to the valley floor, a hundred or more feet below.

    0
    0
  • Dean's lack of proficiency at mountain climbing left him to make do instead of utilizing a more effective and safer method of descent.

    0
    0
  • His sole venture at the end of a rope was the prior winter in Ouray's ice climbing park, under even more tenuous circumstances.

    0
    0
  • After the first several feet, the angle of the slope dropped more sharply and he was forced to move to his left to avoid falling.

    0
    0
  • Above them, the headlights of the two vehicles grew more distant, finally hidden from view by their angle of descent.

    0
    0
  • He felt more than saw her shake her head no.

    0
    0
  • They had crawled past it by no more than fifty feet.

    0
    0
  • She looked once more at Dean, turned, and began hobbling down the road to her car.

    0
    0
  • Dean muttered an agreement as he began to open Dawkins's bureau drawers, more out of a nosy nervousness than anything sinister.

    0
    0
  • Even more disconcerting, while Dean knew a small number of those present, he didn't spot a one of Fred's supportive cronies.

    0
    0
  • What do you gentlemen see as some of the more important challenges to the incoming sheriff?

    0
    0
  • Our young people need education and more organized activities.

    0
    0
  • There was more movement in the back of the room as Fred O'Connor entered, followed by a contingent of his followers.

    0
    0
  • Did you do any more checking on Ed and Edith Plotke— the people from the 1961 newspaper—and missing Josh the miner?

    0
    0
  • There's more to this you're not telling us, isn't there?

    0
    0
  • A scream—not the blood-curdling variety, more a high-pitched screech—from upstairs broke his reverie.

    0
    0
  • It seems to me it's looking more likely they're not even involved in Martha's bones.

    0
    0
  • The bike was a trophy from a time when Dean's budget contained more expendable income.

    0
    0
  • 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.

    0
    0
  • There were more hippies in Telluride back then.

    0
    0
  • While the Deans discussed contacting the state once more, both agreed another phone call would be as fruitless as earlier ones.

    0
    0
  • For ten bucks more, she was to cover Ridgway's four hundred citizens in the county's only other town, if you didn't count minuscule Colona, which most people didn't.

    0
    0
  • The day had arrived with more bumps and grinds than a burlesque matron.

    0
    0
  • Dean laughed at first at his wife's suggestion, but the more he thought about it, the more the idea had a ring of validity to it.

    0
    0
  • Paul Dawkins was only a smidgen more pleasant than his elder brother as Dean, lugging the heavy monitor, passed him entering the parlor.

    0
    0
  • A number of Bird Song's more recent guests were bickering over differing rules to Mexican Train Dominoes in the dining room while others were trading Boardwalk and Park Place in the parlor.

    0
    0
  • The Deans couldn't hear the conversation but assumed it was one more lady in waiting for the senior Prince Charming's favor.

    0
    0
  • It sounds more like information on Fitzgerald.

    0
    0
  • She wasn't satisfied and waited for more.

    0
    0
  • He just wished his stepfather would be more forthcoming about the nature of his concern so he'd know how to help.

    0
    0
  • Dean couldn't agree more.

    0
    0
  • One more inconsistency Dean didn't need.

    0
    0
  • If anything, the news was more upsetting to Cynthia.

    0
    0
  • A nosy bartender told me Ginger was expecting something a bit more lasting than her attorney had to offer.

    0
    0
  • I knew a lot more information that might help you.

    0
    0
  • Paul was about to fire him, and perhaps more.

    0
    0
  • Dean could imagine the more as Jennifer continued.

    0
    0
  • Dean wondered if there was another, more sinister reason for Paul Dawkins' silence on the subject—that he was the murderer of his wife's natural father.

    0
    0
  • They were more than enough.

    0
    0
  • If Patsy had a destination in mind more specific than Chicago, she didn't share this knowledge with her hitchhiking passenger.

    0
    0
  • Wherever she is, I'd be more comfortable if she were in police hands.

    0
    0
  • We have no more idea whose bones Martha found than when we started.

    0
    0
  • When he told Fred of Jennifer Radisson's revelation concerning Josh Mulligan, his stepfather's response was far more animated.

    0
    0
  • He called Lydia's name but it was several minutes before he heard steps, and more time before the door was opened.

    0
    0
  • She was no more than a silhouette in the pale light.

    0
    0
  • A couple more slugs of this stuff and I'll be fine.

    0
    0
  • If you drink any more of that stuff, you'll pass out and maybe bleed to death inside.

    0
    0
  • Once more she laughed.

    0
    0
  • If something even more untoward than what the scene implied had actually occurred last evening, Dean would find himself squeezed between the proverbial rock and a hard place.

    0
    0
  • Dean was more than pleased to hear his old friend's voice.

    0
    0
  • He changed the subject before Dean could ask more.

    0
    0
  • There's a lot more to this business.

    0
    0
  • You folks at Bird Song can get into more pickles than any group I know.

    0
    0
  • Then he added, on a more serious note, "I'll give you a hand if I can, but nothing official."

    0
    0
  • Dean was surprised, but made a note to seek out Pumpkin, and talk about more than the rent.

    0
    0
  • The more Dean thought about it, the more it made sense.

    0
    0
  • Pumpkin and some of Billy's friends thought there might be more to the young man's death than reported.

    0
    0
  • Cynthia talked him out of it until more was learned of Fitzgerald's present whereabouts.

    0
    0
  • She talked about a friend in Chicago but gas was costing lots more than we thought and she was getting real tired from driving.

    0
    0
  • 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.

    0
    0
  • You ain't running unopposed no more.

    0
    0
  • Martha bounced around, thrilled to be back in the routine, and joined Fred in passing out more campaign literature.

    0
    0
  • Later, he and Martha were to visit the library for more digging into the earlier disappearances now that the date of Martha's bones was better known.

    0
    0
  • Finally, after lunch, Dean telephoned Jake Weller, first to report on Martha's wellbeing and in hopes of learning more about Fitzgerald's whereabouts.

    0
    0
  • She was more nervous than he'd ever seen her.

    0
    0
  • The Lucky Strike tin is a common one, but some containers sell for a whole lot more than that.

    0
    0
  • The bullet had caught him full in the chest, driving him backward into the scooped out grotto where his uncle had lain for more than half a century.

    0
    0
  • There's nothing more to do.

    0
    0
  • When pressed, they opined only that Brandon Westlake acted more suicidal than threatening but they had been with him for several minutes where Lydia had just arrived.

    0
    0
  • More than a week passed before the subject of Brandon Westlake was discussed in any detail.

    0
    0
  • Seeing the bet, he decided he wanted to stick around long enough to observe a few more events in the women's futures.

    0
    0
  • If I am to become her, I need to know more.

    0
    0
  • His own interactions with deities left him more than willing to shun them, if at all possible.

    0
    0
  • She hesitated, as if waiting for him to say more.

    0
    0
  • Sasha had a side that was far more depraved than that of any of Wynn's other sons.

    0
    0
  • If you cause more damage, Darkyn said in a soft, lethal voice.

    0
    0
  • His own survival was more important.

    0
    0
  • It was going to be much more pleasurable than she imagined.

    0
    0
  • More food items lined the shelves of both.

    0
    0
  • As someone accustomed to being in control of her world, she needed a little more time before she was ready to face him.

    0
    0
  • She shook off the strange feeling and followed once more.

    0
    0
  • Deidre stayed for a moment then decided to leave, more interested in exploring the world than waiting long enough to see what happened.

    0
    0
  • They were more alike than Deidre realized; they both sought out Darkyn for quiet deals they hoped would result in ending up with Gabriel.

    0
    0
  • This made her hurt more.

    0
    0
  • The instinct was nothing more than a tiny warmth at the edge of his mind.

    0
    0
  • He was able to sense her presence once more without knowing she'd been gone from his reach for an entire night.

    0
    0
  • Rather than taking souls and risking a run-in with him or his dealers, the demons snatched the dead or killed whomever they wanted and brought them here, where they'd have more time for soul extraction.

    0
    0
  • Yeah. No word yet on whether or not there are more.

    0
    0
  • We went to the other side of the country to find her more funnel cakes.

    0
    0
  • Whatever happened, there had to be more to the story than what Deidre told him.

    0
    0
  • Amused, he dropped the sweater into the bag, grabbed a few more and a pair jeans.

    0
    0
  • He loved touching her and loved even more watching her try to figure out what to do about it.

    0
    0
  • They'll have more for you at the fortress.

    0
    0
  • What did you do, Gabriel? she demanded at last, the fire flaring in her eyes once more.

    0
    0
  • Deidre's face flamed red once more.

    0
    0
  • Tymkyn waited for more.

    0
    0
  • More importantly, the underworld accepted his appointment.

    0
    0
