It did not do the ladies any harm; but I am not sure that it was the best thing for Oscar. It helped him feel every day, as he stepped along to recitations with his elbow clamping his books against his ribs and his heavy black curls bulging down from his gray slouch hat to his collar, how meritorious he was compared with Bertie and Billy with all Berties and Billies. He may have been.
Barely had the Golden Hind taken a position in the midst of the enemy's fleet, when, selecting one of the staunchest vessels of the enemy, Drake had grappling-irons thrown out, clamping his ship to her victim. In a trice the English sailors were on the Spanish deck with swords out and the rallying-cry of 'God and St George!
Samson Mountain went home in an ill-temper, and, as was usual with him when in that condition, did everything he had to do with a sulky and noisy emphasis, bursting open doors with unnecessary violence, slamming them with needless force behind him, and clamping heavily from room to room.
He came to a sudden stop, threw down his head, pitched and bucked frantically. His efforts carried him all over the trail, and once dangerously near the edge and the turbulent waters below. But he found himself unable to throw off the weight. "Guess maybe I made a slight mistake!" exploded the rider, clamping his knees against Pat. "But go go to it old trader!" Pat accepted the challenge.
"Your Eminence, we are all of us great sinners, as well as the Courlanders, that is the truth," answered Count Saxe, "and I will leave your Eminence to meditate upon that grand truth. Good evening." And with that he went clamping up the staircase. I saw, out of the tail of my eye, the cardinal stop and laugh to himself.
Mitchell of Belfast advises exposing the varices at numerous points by half-inch incisions, and, after clamping the vein between two pairs of forceps, cutting it across and twisting out the segments of the vein between adjacent incisions. The edges of the incisions are sutured; and the limb is firmly bandaged from below upwards, and kept in an elevated position.
Very carefully, as his former cell-mate had taught him, he made his preparations, substituting a sixty- for a six-ampere fuse which would give him, the old cracksman had said, "juice" enough to cut through the ribs of a war-ship and clamping one strand of his extension wire to the safe door.
Brutus was up behind me with his great hands clamping down on my shoulders. I turned and hurled the volume in the fireplace. My father caught it out almost before it landed. With all the deliberation of a connoisseur examining an old and rare edition, he turned the pages with his slim fingers. There, as he had said, was the paper, with the same red seals that I had admired the previous evening.
The boys arranged the various pieces of apparatus to their satisfaction, and then drilled holes through and bolted them securely to the back. This also took a little more time than merely to screw them to the face of the panel, but made a more secure and lasting piece of work. They were still drilling holes and clamping down nuts when Mrs. Layton called down to tell them that lunch was ready.
"So don't you fret. And in case he acts up I'll clamp down on him real sudden," he added by way of further reassurance. His great paw opened and shut to illustrate his point as he moved toward the door and the Three Bar girl knew that when Waddles spoke of clamping down it was no mere figure of speech. Billie Warren heard the steady buzz of a saw and later the ringing strokes of an axe.
