I figured this county deserves a more astute sheriff than the current candidate, so I tossed my hat in the ring this morning.
Maybe that's why you were so damn quick to be willing to take less than fifty percent of the land!
Dean had no stomach for going any deeper than necessary and the water from the mine seepage was getting deeper.
The two drinks and lack of a third caused him to be more direct than normal politeness would dictate.
With an approximate date—or at least a year—and a first name, the chore would be infinitely easier than scouring decades for a nameless individual.
Billy Langstrom, behind the wheel of a red Jeep similar to but older than Deans', honked from across the street.
Once you've got the bug, you'd no more pass up a good bargain than a cold beer on a hot day.
Jenny is younger than any of us!
I was in the water fight myself when I was younger than you.
You're in better hands than I was being on Billy's team.
You're going to have to do much better than that, Mr. Dean.
When we married, I was twenty-eight and he was fifty-two—nearly twice my age—two years older than my father!
I kicked in more coins to our marriage than Paul ever did.
She seemed more genuinely shocked than irate.
Dean was more than just surprised by her request.
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.
The vehicle, older than Fred, sounded better than Dean's Jeep.
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.
In spite of all I said, his and Jen's baby has a lot better future than Billy Langstrom's.
They drove south from town and in less than a quarter mile, turned right onto what was locally known as the Camp Bird Mine Road.
Jennifer began snapping her small camera at the first vista until she realized she'd used more than half the roll.
After what seemed even longer than the Dean's first trip to the mine just two days earlier, they emerged into the basin where the valley floor was a sea of wildflowers.
The group left the Jeep and spent more than an hour on foot with Cynthia taking infinite care with each of her photos.
The escape was less than stealthy, and it was impossible to tell if there was more than one pair of feet.
It was a mine portal, smaller than the main entrance to the Lucky Pup.
The portal was smaller and dryer than the main mine entrance and seemed to lead downward from this elevated location.
Once is more than enough.
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.
He felt more than saw her shake her head no.
He knew the river lay far below and they'd negotiated less than half the distance.
They had crawled past it by no more than fifty feet.
Dean muttered an agreement as he began to open Dawkins's bureau drawers, more out of a nosy nervousness than anything sinister.
Why do you feel you are better equipped to be our next sheriff than your opponent?
Making judgment after the fact is far easier than before.
All I could think of was Randy and how lucky we are that he's got his act together in spite of this business with Jen—how much better off he is than Billy— and Jen than Melissa.
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 was built from the same mold—large and muscular, the kind of man more fitted to military special forces or UFC prizefighting than financial planning.
The visions were less invasive than those from others, like background music at a department store.
His look was intense, much different than the warmth he'd displayed earlier that afternoon.
Our kind tend to live much longer than the average human.
A few minutes later, Jake returned with a jug of water, appearing less than excited.
His visions were more than just his death; they were the first-person experience of the torturing and killing of many, many others, as if she were mutilating others.
Men like Jake wouldn't want to die any other way than honorably defending people like you.
You might as well make it on your terms, ordering him to submit, rather than begging and mauling him like an animal.
Sometimes I think you'd rather eat me than talk to me.
There are … creatures older than me in the universe, and they were fighting a turf war over who ruled what part of the universe.
He kneaded her breasts, wanting nothing better than to suckle her until she cried out in ecstasy.
You're more welcome in my bed than she is!
There was no crueler fate in this world than her own!
And if she told Damian who to kill, did that make her worse than them?
Who better to weed out traitors than the one who could see them for what they were?
Something more than Dusty killing bad guys was upsetting her.
Damian caught his eye and looked pointedly at Dusty, silently asking if the Guardian had done as he asked and told his boss that the Natural was more than a new recruit.
We had three in the last class, more than we've seen in a few hundred years.
He cared for Claire, or at least, he was attracted to her, and she didn't know if there was more than what she knew about them.
She held his hand longer than she should.
His blue eyes were colder than the sky on a winter morning in Virginia.
Jule had always said he inspired men to follow him, though he saw nothing different in what he did than what his deputies did.
The other two were too occupied by whatever happened to do more than glance at the newcomer.
She's in the early stages of pregnancy, no more than eight weeks.
Sofia asked with more emotion than she intended.
He wasn't like Dustin, who seemed more likely to kill a stranger than talk to one.
Exactly. But not everyone can do what we do, because we're, well, different than normal people.
He was worse than a woman PMSing.
In an organization of less than five thousand, that's a lot.
Linda says you're newer than me.
Linda was too easygoing to be affected by much of anything, and the men seemed more surprised than anything else.
She felt more compelled to him now than ever before.
She was more grateful to him in that moment than she'd ever been.
She looked healthier and happier than during their last two encounters, and Linda had let it slip that she and Rainy were talking again.
Dusty and Jule knew better than to pry what happened when he confronted Claire.
She kept the movies playing, focusing on nothing other than the brothers' time together.
His hair was brown rather than white-blond, his beautiful eyes deep set and large.
Her bruises were gone, and her two-toned eyes were calmer than they'd been.
She hesitated, sensing he would be angrier with her than Jule or Dustin had been.
He knew Sofia better than he knew Damian.
Good. Easier for me than Darian to readjust.
He wore nothing more than a T-shirt and jeans.
As they strode into the gardens toward an awaiting helicopter, she couldn't help but think she'd just stepped into something far greater than she could ever imagine.
Made of material softer than silk, the black dress she wore pooled at the top of her feet.
The tome was far heavier than she expected, made of something much different than cardboard and paper.
Her first deal was made more out of emotion than anything else.
Something jarred her, a flash of magic, one that made her more nauseous than what she saw happen next.
His eyes were blacker than Gabriel's, and his plain features deceptive.
Was what she felt for Gabriel nothing more than destiny and Immortal laws she knew nothing about?
His nose bore the appearance of having been broken and set incorrectly more than once.
This was too similar to what she physically felt towards Gabriel to be anything other than the Immortal bond that branded Darkyn's name across her shoulders.
Roger was a tiny man, no taller than Cynthia, with snowy white hair and sparkling blue eyes.
It used to be closed tighter than a kiddie cap on a pill bottle.
A teacher doesn't have to be smart—just brighter than the student.
But Fitzgerald had to be older than forty—he certainly looked it—a fact easily checked on his election application.
He's not much older than Randy.
