At the professor's suggestion they tied their gold and stones up in small packages convenient to carry. "Better place them where you can grab them in a hurry in case of accident," the old scientist went on. "Of course if there should be too bad an accident they would never be of any use to us down here, but we'll look on the bright side of things."
These fit my complexion to a charm, and will be wonderfully warm and comfortable. What is in your grab bag?" "Ditto, apparently," Weldon answered. "I think I shall keep these to sport about at home in." Carew shook his head. "Oh, no. The kind ladies wish us to use them now, and you should accept the gift according to the spirit in which it is given."
Spying By-and-by pushing the bottle into his mouth, while Red Connors propped him, he grinned and took out five silver dollars, which he jingled under By-and-by's eyes, causing that worthy to lay aside the liquor and erratically grab for the tantalizing fortune. "Not yet, sabe?" said Hopalong, changing the position of the money.
"Jump on my back, Uncle Wiggily!" cried the fish, and the rabbit did so, in the twinkling of an eye. And before the alligator could grab Uncle Wiggily, the goldfish swam to shore with him, and he was safe. And the alligator got some soap in his eye, from washing his face too hard, and went sloshing away as mad as could be, but it served him right.
And, just what has happened to the obscure valley of Marsh Creek, is happening today, on a larger scale, all over the land. It is the same old story of grab and greed. Let us go on the "make" today, and "whack up" tomorrow; cheating each other as villainously as we may, and posterity be damned. "What's all the w-u-u-rld to a man when his wife is a widdy?"
A gaff a stick about the size and length of a broom handle with a large, sharp hook attached lay near at hand, and was frequently used in landing a fish over the side. Occasionally a fish would free itself from the trawl hook as it reached the surface, but the fisherman, with remarkable dexterity, would grab the gaff, and hook the victim before it could swim out of reach.
"Da," pointed the captain triumphantly, pointing the line out, with his great, hairy forefinger ... and, with victory near, relapsing into German. But, just as it reached the designated spot, the fellow gave a violent swish with the pen. The mates made a grab for his hand, but too late. He tore a great, ink-smeared rent through the paper.... Whang!
When you feel the fit coming on, put down the teacup and grab a dictionary; then choose the toe you want it to fall on, superfluous aunt of the family, or some one of that sort, and you are all right. Bless you, Dropsy! Farewell, my dear!" Hildegarde took the girls directly up to her room, and they admired all her arrangements as heartily as she could wish.
"To the grocery store to pick out cereal and pop tarts. Unlike you he would never grab an item of canned food that was stacked like a pyramid. He would never cause an avalanche in a grocery store. I never had to worry about taking him anyplace." "And Rita/Lily Lily/Rita?" "Was that a question? What about her?" "Yes, what about her?"
"You go to the devil," said Jimmie. "You'll not put your foot on board this boat again. Off you go! Take him down to Henley!" he ordered the boatman. "Very well! Very well!" said the German, "I go, but I do not take my hat off to your flag." "Ah! Don't you?" cried the Princeton man, making a grab for the German's sailor hat with his long arm, just as the boat shot away.
