The chauffeur threw in his clutch and the car glided away, while Bob McGraw, glancing back, saw T. Morgan Carey and a uniformed, watchman dashing down the capitol steps. They were too late. T. Morgan Carey shouted to his chauffeur, but it was not a day of silent motors, and legislation affecting muffler cut- outs was still in the dim and distant Not-Yet.
I admit that I like it better than making a fool of myself by going to beg where it's of no use. Understand then, that it is what I like to do." There was a tone in the last sentence which was equivalent to the clutch of his strong hand on Rosamond's delicate arm. But for all that, his will was not a whit stronger than hers.
"I don't mean that," the girl returned "it's just that he understands perfectly, because he saw them all, in such an extraordinary way well, what can I ever call it? clutch me and cling to me." Mrs. Brook, with full gravity, considered this picture. "And was Mr. Cashmore to-day so ridiculous?" "Ah he's not ridiculous, mamma he's very unhappy.
The cunning rascal had smeared his naked body from head to foot with oil, so that, if seized, he could the more easily wriggle out of the hands of his captors. How clever a device this was Jack learned to his great surprise. The arms he seized were whipped out of his clutch as if he was trying to lay hold of quicksilver. He grabbed something which proved to be a leg.
The bothered doctor half consented, and Maurice lifted Jacky, very gently; as he did so, the little fellow somehow squirmed a hand out of the infolding blanket, and made a hot clutch for his father's ear; he gripped it so firmly that, in spite of Maurice's wincing expostulation, he pulled the big blond head over sidewise until it rested on his own little head.
When I have them on I am always fearing that Camperdown and Son are behind me and are going to clutch them.

The only good they have ever done me has been to save me from a man who I now know never cared for me. But they are mine; and therefore I choose to keep them.
Be glad to have your company," he said, letting in his clutch after pushing the starter. "We're off." Ruth did not speak again just then. With widening eyes she began to devour the first pages of the hermit's manuscript. The automobile purred along the shell road, past the white-sided, green-blinded houses of the retired ship captains and the other well-to-do people of Herringport.
"Ireland, for instance," sneered John. "Ireland be damned," responded the foreigner, still still looking out the window. "Go tell your nurse to give you some bread and butter." John leaped and swept the air with his open palm. Gamble's clutch half arrested it in front, Shotwell hindered it from behind, neither quite stopped it. "Did he slap him?" eagerly asked a dozen men standing on the seats.
Attracted possibly by what it did not understand, or simply made fearless because of its non-comprehension of the mystery before him, a curly-haired boy suddenly escaped its mother's clutch, and, toddling up by a pathway of his own to the awesome form in the great chair, laid his little hand on the judge's rigid arm and, looking up into his face, babbled out: "Why don't you get up, man?
