It was simply that the viper, shooting his every inch round the corner in the effort to grab the vole's hindlegs then or never, had hit, full pelt and nose first, the nice little array of pointed arguments carried on the back of the neck of a hedgehog, snuffing under the clod, pig-fashion, for spiders.
Hopalong raised his rifle to his shoulder as the Indian fired and the latter's bullet, striking the edge of the hole through which Mr. Cassidy peered, kicked up a generous handful of dust, some of which found lodgment in that individual's eyes. "Oh! Oh! Oh! Wow!" yelled the unfortunate, dancing blindly around the room in rage and pain, and dropping his rifle to grab at his eyes. "Oh! Oh! Oh!"
I expect it will cost money. I don't care how much it costs, so long as I win my point." "You mean we must rush the freshies?" interrogated Margaret Wayne. "Yes," nodded Leslie. "Cart them around in our cars. Blow them off to dinners and luncheons. Begin tomorrow to go down to the station and grab them as they come off the train." "Deliver me from the station act." Joan Myers made a wry face.
Back in a minute," called Budge over his shoulder to the doctor. Jerry followed to the Scout camp, where Budge caught up a pair of stout saplings that had been cut for tent poles but had not been needed. "Grab up a couple blankets," he directed, setting off again through the brush on a run.
He said he never felt how powerless he was until he tried to grab that oyster by placing his hand on his person, outside his clothes; then, as the oyster slipped around from one place to another, he felt that man was only a poor, weak creature.

After that, for weeks, he spent all his midnights in his magnificent mine, inspecting it in security, gloating over its marvels at his leisure, and always slipping back to his obscure lodgings before dawn, with a duke's ransom under his cloak. He did not need to grab, haphazard, and run there was no hurry.
"She's crazy, or else she wouldn't be watchin' for us to leave the house so as to grab in and toss one of them letters. Looks to me it's just revenge, and to make trouble. The darned fool can't marry both of us. I didn't sleep last night not with that woman of mine settin' and boohooin'. I just set and thought.
A single line of wire stretched out across the plain, connecting Keno with Vegas and the world, and within half an hour he had dictated a rush order to be wired to his supply-house in Los Angeles. If money would buy it he would grab a new gear-wheel and have it shipped out by express; but if there was none in stock he would have to wait for it; and the machine-shops were months behind.
The sight of her splendid dog retrieving so joyously the weapon designed for his death, was almost too much for the Mistress's self-control. The effect on the Master was different. As Wefers made as though to jump forward and grab the pistol, the Master said sharply: "WATCH it, Laddie!" Instantly, Lad was on the alert. The game, it seemed, had begun again, and along sterner lines.
"And so," he said, "you think we are spread out along this road for the conspirators to grab off?" "If they can, of course; but that is not stating the case right. We are spread out along the road to Peking to catch the men who will try to stop us. See? We are here to watch for those who will try to catch us, and to catch them! What do you think of that?" "Clever!" exclaimed the Captain.
