But more often he would not sing, but with his teeth gritted together in an onrush of unspeakable rage, suffering and delight, he would drive silently on as though blind. He would not notice those who passed him, he would not call to them to look out, he would not slacken his mad pace, either at the turns of the road or on the long slopes of the mountain roads.
"You'll pay that toll bill," he gritted, "if I have to pick it out of your pockets whilst the coroner is settin' on your remains." The bully of the countryside quailed. "You've stole my sister!" he screamed. "This ain't about toll I'm talkin'. You've been and robbed me of my sister!" "Do you want to hear a word on that?" demanded the Cap'n, grimly. He came close up, whirling the cudgel.
Say, Mag, I wouldn't like to get that man Obermuller hopping mad at me, and Nancy Olden's no coward, either. But the way he gritted his teeth at that note and the devil in his eyes when he lifted them from it, made me wonder how I'd ever dared be facetious with him. I got up to go. He'd forgotten me, but he looked up then.
"I haven't given you a basting since you were fifteen but I'll paste you one right in the mouth if you don't talk straight talk!" "You hear that!" Barney gritted at her. He believed there was justice in his wrath as indeed there was, of a sort. "Think what Jimmie and I've put into this, in time and hard coin! We've given you your chance, we've made you!
"I wish you had informed me of the identity of your client, Mr. Peasley," Hudner complained. "I don't like to sign this charter." "I cannot help that now, sir," Matt retorted. "You have agreed in writing to charter the vessel to any responsible person I might bring to you, and I guess the Blue Star Navigation Company comes under that head." Mr. Hudner sighed and gritted his teeth.
Now that he was closer and the charge had less distance to travel, he had overestimated the sun's effect. He gritted his teeth. The next shot would be at close range. The fighting rocket closed space, and the landing boat loomed large in the sight. He fired again, and the shot blew metal loose from the top of the boat's hull. A hit, but not good enough.
"More than enough and so has his daughter." Teddy gritted his teeth. Every moment this girl grew dearer; every moment she seemed further away. "Doris," he went on, "I want your promise that you will do nothing at all till I see you again. Should Bullard come to the house, keep him from Mr. Lancaster, but tell him nothing. Meet me here again at three o'clock." Gently he stopped her questions.
Again she left the rug, stepped to the telegraph instrument, and fingered the key daintily until she had, with the other hand, turned down the "out" card. Then she threw the switch, rattled an impatient reply, and waited, listening to the rapid clicking of the sounder. Her eyes and her mouth hardened as she read. "Cad!" she gritted under her breath.
"Right you are," came from the rear. "Ride up the arroyo as close as we can get, an' then over the edge an' straight at 'em," Buck ordered. "Their shooting an' the rain will cover what noise we make on the soft ground. An' boys, no quarter!" "Reckon not!" gritted Red, savagely. "Not with Edwards an' Jackson dead, an' the Kid fighting for his life!"
I've had cramps before, and I know I'm liable to grab you if these get any worse." Instead, she laid her hands on the hard-knotted muscles, and began to rub and press and bend. "Please," he gritted through his teeth. "You must keep away. Just let me lie out here I'll bend the ankle and toe-joints in the opposite ways and make it pass. I've done it before and know how to work it."
