"Oh, it might have been worse," answered Drew, whose wound had also been attended to. "It was just a chance shot." "Well, I don't know that it makes an awful lot of difference whether it's a chance shot or one that is aimed at you, as long as it hits," said the surgeon. "However, you are luckily out of it. How does it seem, to be under fire?" he asked Blake.
You and me have been working hard together for three years. Say we knock off for a while, and spend some of this idle money we've coaxed our way." "The proposition hits me just right," says I. "Let's be nabobs for a while and see how it feels. What'll we do take in the Niagara Falls, or buck at faro?"
They were all fast, and Homans was perfect in judgment on fly balls, and Raymond was quick as lightning to knock down base hits, and as to the intercollegiate sprinter in left field, it was simply a breath-taking event to see him run after a ball. Last of all was Ken Ward with his great arm.
The acrobatic beast, whether a man hits it or not inevitably bears down the hunter by his sheer weight, and as a man's bones are more brittle than a beast's, and he has no tough pelt to cover him withal, he will be infallibly crushed to pulp, while the bear takes the whole thing as a mere joke and ambles on further. But the whole affair did not last half as long as I take to tell it.
There were the usual sly hits at several well-known society women whose public charities covered a multitude of private sins, followed by a very inadequately veiled reference to the chief actors in a recent divorce case, and then Diana's eyes glued themselves to the printed page before her.

But, passing through a small side square, the two officers saw something more of the effect of "direct hits." In the square was parked a number of ambulance wagons, and over a building at the side floated a huge Red Cross flag.
Sometimes it happens to discern the right feeling and apply it, sometimes it hits upon an inappropriate one and is thus induced to proceed from solecism to solecism till the consequences lead to a crisis from which we recover and which, then becoming a leading case, forms one of the decisions on which our future action is based.
Let me draw your attention, M'sieu, to the beauty of the finish. The most fashionable system, M'sieu. We sell a dozen every day for burglars, wolves, and lovers. Very correct and powerful action, hits at a great distance, and kills wife and lover with one bullet. As for suicide, M'sieu, I don't know a better pattern."
Into the gloom it vanished, the little meteorite of latent death, of potential horror and destruction. "If it hits 'em, they'll think we are gods, after all, what?" cried the engineer, peering eagerly. But for a moment, nothing happened. "Missed it!" he groaned. "If I only had my right arm to use now, I might "
It never hits two places at the same time, but if it goes up a street, it sort o' picks one side, an' stops at one place for a while then goes travelin' on. It acts jest as if a man was walkin' around, an' he was the cholera spirit himself." "Well?" queried the Supervisor sharply. The old Ranger smiled tolerantly at his impatience.
