"This fight at Malvern Hill" he put a pin on the place "was a mistake on the part of Lee, and yet he is a master of the game. He was terribly beaten an aggressive general would have attacked at once." "Would he have won, uncle?" "I think so but after a defeat these armies are as dangerous as a cornered cat." "But, dear Uncle Jim, what is the matter with us? We have men, money and courage."
The pelicans see the fish and pursue them, without any plan to corner them in shoal water, but the inevitable result is that they are so cornered and captured. The fish are foolish, but the pelicans are not wise. The wisdom here attributed to them is human wisdom and not animal wisdom. To observe the actions of the lower animals without reading our own thoughts into them is not an easy matter. Mr.
Wool can't be bought, so a close cotton web is made, with the inside teased out like flannelette, and this is all they have. The necessaries of life are being "cornered" right and left, mostly by the commercial houses and the banks. The other day 163 railway trucks of sugar were discovered in a siding, where the owners had placed it to wait for a rise.
The gallant Colden had his fine three cornered hat, of which he was very proud, shot away, but, bare-headed, calm and resolute, he strode about among his men, handling his forces like the veteran that he had become, strengthening the weak points, applauding the daring and encouraging the faltering.
There he found Glendin, seated at a corner table with a glass of beer in front of him, and considering the sun-whitened landscape lazily through the window. At the sound of the heavy footfall of Drew he turned, rose, his shoulders flattened against the wall behind him like a cornered man prepared for a desperate stand. "It's all right," cried Drew. "It's all over, Glendin.
We learned to wait regularly for the ceremony of seeing Sir Monocle and his load toted off to bed at nine o'clock every night, just as we learned to linger in the offing and watch the nimble knife-work when the prize invalid of the ship's roster had cornered a fresh victim. The prize invalid, it is hardly worth while to state, was of the opposite sex.
Nor did I see alone, since a moan of fear and worship went up from the Councillors. Then they grew silent stared and stared. Suddenly Zikali lifted his head and looked at them through the thin flame of the fire which made his eyes shine like those of a tiger or of a cornered baboon. "At what do you gaze so hard, King and Councillors?" he asked. "I see nothing. At what then do you gaze so hard?"
"I'll go this afternoon," cried Tom. The idea of playing the spy pleased him greatly. "But you want to be careful," warned his older brother. "If cornered, those brokers may prove to be desperate men." "I'll be on my guard, Dick." "Sam and I can go down part of the way with you, and when you go in, we can hang around outside, one at the upper and one at the lower street corner.
Passmore know of their plans they soon got ready for the trip. "Now, don't get into any trouble," warned the rug dealer, as they were about to depart. "That fellow Haskers may be like a rat very ugly when cornered." "We'll keep our eyes open," answered Dave. Soon the touring-car was rolling over the lake road, in the direction Job Haskers had taken.
He fought two battles with the wood-rats that were almost of his size, and that, being mature and wild and cornered, fought him as he had never been fought before. The first he had killed, unaware that it was an old and feeble rat.
