"And I'll leave the gun, and tell Dad that when the canoe upset the gun got drowned," said the boy eagerly. Li Tee nodded. "And come again Saturday, and bring more powder and shot and a bottle for Jim," said Master Skinner excitedly. "Good!" grunted the Indian.
"Humph!" he grunted again. "It's one thing to smell a rat and another to nail its tail to the floor. But I'm mighty obliged to you, all the same. And I'll think it over hard. Say! I can see one thing you don't take a very big shine to Heman yourself." "Not too big no. Do you?" "Well, I don't wake up nights and cry for him." Everdean laughed. "That's characteristic," he said.
"I didn't do anything but get a tourniquet on his leg and have him put on the train." The Honourable Hilary grunted, and continued to regard his son. Then he cut a piece of Honey Dew. "Looks bad, does it?" he said. "Well," replied Austen, "it might have been done better. It was bungled.
Ho! ho!" "Nay, listen," said Bagheera. "The fever is out of my blood now. Let them find ME there! Few would leave their houses after meeting me. It is not the first time I have been in a cage; and I do not think they will tie ME with cords." "Be wise, then," said Mowgli, laughing; for he was beginning to feel as reckless as the panther, who had glided into the hut. "Pah!" Bagheera grunted.
Captain Eri grunted and rolled over in his bed; for a moment or two he fancied himself back in the fo'castle of the Sea Mist, the bark in which he had made his first voyage. Then, as he grew wider awake, he heard, somewhere in the distance, a bell ringing furiously. "Turn out, all hands! Turn out!" Captain Eri sat up. That voice was no part of a dream.
She struggled to throw off the oppressive faintness which she felt a second time stealing upon her, but, when she saw Bloody Jim approaching her, the horrors of her situation completely overcame her, and she again swooned. "Ugh!" grunted the disappointed savage, giving her inanimate form a rude kick.
The advertising agent for the manufacturing concern had been in town, and had presented "The Blade" with two of these devices. Despite the eight-dollar price, the devices cost only a small fraction of that amount to manufacture, so the advertising agent had not been extremely generous in leaving the pair. "What on earth shall we do with them?" grunted Pollock, in Dick's hearing.
"Oh no, sir," said the landlady. "Excuse me, but our moorland air will make you think very differently to-morrow morning." "Humph!" grunted Uncle Paul. "You see, sir, I did think that you'd bring home enough trout this evening to do for your breakfast too, and I am afraid there's nothing but ham and eggs. Would you mind them?" "I'll tell you to-morrow morning, madam," said Uncle Paul.
When I thrill, I have to have near me some one particular, to hold on to." "You ought to be in bed!" Little Ann leaned against his shoulder. "Don't be grumpy," she whispered, "I like you best of all when you're not the doctor." "Umph!" grunted McPherson, but he stayed "put" after that, until the curtain went down on the first act. Then he turned to Truedale.
"Well, then," continued the skipper, very gruffly, as he dabbed his big finger down in the middle of the chart, "you are here." "Saint Helena," said Rodd, after a quick glance at the chart. "Right," grunted the skipper. "Now, Dr Robson, am I to speak out, or will you send young Mr Rodd here up on deck first?" The doctor stared. "I see no reason for sending my nephew away," he said coldly.
