He said: "Take off the halter." One of the men snapped viciously over his shoulder: "Climb on while the climbing's good. Cut out the bluff, partner." The smile went out on the lips of Woodbury. He repeated: "Take off the halter." They stared at him, but quickly began to fumble under the coat, unfastening the buckle.
And Brimfield backs did fumble, for the wind made certain judgment of kicks impossible, but fortunately the ball was recovered each time without much loss. The first period ended with the ball in midfield in Cherry Valley's possession.
He had not anticipated such close inspection and instinctively he began to fumble with the corner of his sweater and look nervously down at his hands. They must be very dirty from making the fires. And he had been actually greeting Mr. and Mrs. Crowninshield with paws like those! The horror of it chilled his blood.
Previous encounters with Princeton had taught them that the Tiger could also rally. They came on the field prepared to fight harder than ever. McBride and Brown were exhorting their men to do their utmost. Princeton was out-rushing Yale but not out-kicking them. Yale knew that as well as we did. It was a Yale fumble that gave us the chance we were waiting for.
There's no fumble in him, and even his mother, who thinks his mold was broken when he was born and that the Lord never made but one like him, has to admit he is a high-handed person when occasion requires. I don't agree with his mother in a good many things concerning William, but in some I do. I wish he wasn't an only son. An only son for a husband is hard on a wife.
"This your stuff?" asked Cossar, waving the paper. "Well, why don't you stop it?" he demanded. "Can't be jiggered!" said Cossar. "Buy the place?" he cried. "What nonsense! Burn it! I knew you chaps would fumble this. What are you to do? Why what I tell you. "You? Do? Why! Go up the street to the gunsmith's, of course. Why? For guns. Yes there's only one shop. Get eight guns! Rifles.
His look of comical surprise and the half-dazed fashion of his lifting a hand to fumble cautiously at his head raised some laughter and a good deal of chaff. "Orright," he said angrily. "Orright, go on; laugh, dash yer. Fat lot t' laugh at, seein' a man's good cap pitched in the mud." "No use you feelin' that 'ead o' yours," said his neighbor, grinning.
That would do to begin with. I would then advertise myself as the celebrated Professor Brainey, or whatever name I might choose, and wait for my first customer. My first customer is a middle-aged man. I look at him, ask him a question or two, so as to hear him talk. When I have got the hang of him, I ask him to sit down, and proceed to fumble his skull, dictating as follows: SCALE FROM 1 TO 10.
You see from these conning towers how they call and find each other in the slender gorges; how they fumble in the meadows, needing the sheer nearing walls to give them countenance and show the way; and how the pine woods are made glad by them.
Guess you can call it Kipps if it pleases you." Anna-Rose began to fumble nervously in her purse "It's horrid, I think, to ask for presents," she said to the youth in deep humiliation, more on his account than hers. "Presents? I'm not asking for presents. I'm telling you what's done," said the youth. And he had spots on his face. And he was repugnant to her.
