She did not like baiting our hooks when we were fishing, but still she did it when we asked her; and I do really believe that the worms didn't feel half the pain they otherwise would when handled by her fingers. She'd go out with us rat-catching and badger-hunting, and yet, to see her in the drawing-room, there wasn't a sweeter, softer, more feminine girl in the county.
As his twentieth year approached these doubts and questions would not be put away, and yet he dared not speak of them either to the minister or to his father. Then, one night, as he was watching his lines and hooks, something happened which broke the adamantine seal upon his soul.
Then Spiele asked him to wear soft sandals like Victor, but he preferred his stiff boots. However, he procured hooks which kept the foot in place and allowed him to enjoy the advantage of the leather surface. Now she was worried lest the hooks should prove a dangerous obstacle in jumping off the wheel. She consulted Victor; but he only said, it depended.
I'll have the top hooks forged for you if you'll build the ladders. They'll be light and serviceable and you can work up a mighty spectacular drill with them." "Great, we'll do it," said Bruce. Then he added, "perhaps we will have a real fire department after all."
Chook held the candle in his hand to show the little dresser with the cups and saucers and plates arranged in mathematical precision. The pots and pans were already hung on hooks.

Of its horns they form their fish-spears and hooks, and, previous to the introduction of iron by the Europeans, their ice-chisels and various other utensils. Their scraping or currying knives are made from the split shin-bones. The skins make their clothing, tent-covers, beds, and blankets.
The four chums sat there and stared at each other in consternation, for it seemed as though that pitiful cry was for help! Jerry made a reach for his gun, that happened to be hanging from a couple of hooks close by his hand. "Oh! What was that?" asked Will in a trembling voice. "Sounded to me like a child. I reckon they've got a boy along with 'em, and the brutes are whaling him!" growled Bluff.
