From the train he enters the base hospital or Casualty Clearing Station, where a good-sized corps of doctors, nurses, etc., are kept busy. Another ambulance journey is next in order this time to the hospital ship.
Perhaps he would pick up a great clod and pretend to throw that, but let it fall beside him; while one day, when I went to the window and looked out, I found him with a good-sized switch which had been the young shoot of a pear tree, and a lump of something of a yellowish brown tucked in the fork of a tree close by where he worked.
He ain't over a half a mile away right now. "'I hope they ain't no children on the road, says Peewee. "I figgers this Harry Evans is sure ridin' a threshin'-machine with its insides loose, but when he comes through the gates I gets a shock. Say, his machine ain't much bigger'n a good-sized sardine can! It's painted red 'n' smoke's comin' out of the front of it.
"How I have wanted you! needed you!" Again the pitiful wail. "Now behave, child! When the waiter comes we must be as staid as Darby and Joan. You poor little girl! Heavens! how big your eyes are, and how frightened! Come in! Yes. This is the order; serve it here." The waiter took the order wrapped in a good-sized bill, and departed on willing feet.
The boys tramped around the vicinity for a good half hour, and then sat down on a hollow log to eat a lunch they had brought along. "Let us build a fire beside the old log," said Ned. "It will help to keep us warm." Joe was willing and the two boys soon had some leaves and twigs gathered, and placed some good-sized branches on top to make the blaze last.
There's quite a good-sized reward offered for his arrest in case he ever does get back on our side of the line." "Mhm-hmh I see," said Johnny, in his best, round-eyed judicial manner. "Yes. He's a criminal of several sorts, among them the crime of meddling with the government. He's over there now where he can do the most harm. "Y-ess he's over there now," Johnny agreed guardedly.
To the right there was a large room separated by folding doors with another good-sized room next to it which would naturally be used as a dining room. In the rear of this was the kitchen and besides the door there was a slide through which to pass the food. Upstairs there were four big rooms stretching the whole width of the house. Above these there was a servant's room.
A good-sized diamond's the obvious sort of thing: advertises itself for what it is, and that's what we want. You'll wear it, as much as to say, 'I was engaged like everybody else. But if there wasn't a reason against it, this is what I should like to put on your finger." As he spoke, he hid the spark of light in his other hand, and from the pocket whence it had come produced another ring.
While I have been waiting for you, I have got a good-sized lunch from Mrs. Kenniston, a bag of grain from the farmer, and now we are ready to start, even if we drive to the lake." "Bob, you are a good fellow," exclaimed George, as he grasped the moonlighter by the hand, and made a mental vow that he would never speak harshly to him again.
Chlorine was escaping rapidly from the overturned storage batteries, for a grave danger lurks in the presence of sea water, in a submarine, in combination with any of the sulphuric acid. Salt water and sulphuric acid produce chlorine gas, and a pint of it inside a good-sized submarine would be sufficient to render unconscious the crew of a boat.
