Finally the cattleman reached out a hand toward the smoothly muscled shoulders. It was Calder who stood nearest and he managed to strike up Daniels's extended arm and jerk him back from the region of danger. "What'n hell is that for?" exclaimed Daniels. "That horse is called Satan," said Calder, "and when any one save his owner touches him he lives up to his name and raises hell."
"Tell me all, friend of my youth." Mr. Blake, with a jerk of his thumb, indicated a poster which hung on the wall behind the counter. Archie had noticed it as he came in, for it was designed to attract the eye. It was printed in black letters on a yellow ground, and ran as follows: CLOVER-LEAF SOCIAL AND OUTING CLUB v. Archie examined this document gravely.
We can't jerk you out of the hands of the army if you git mixed up with it; that's one place where we stop. The reservation's a middle ground where we meet the nesters rustlers, every muddy-bellied wolf of 'em, and we can prove it and pass 'em by. They come and go here like white men, and nothing said.
Darsie tossed her head with the defiant little jerk which meant that she was going to do it, and she didn't care, and the consequences could look after themselves. In another moment the punt was free from the chain, and was being paddled slowly down the stream.
The door opened quickly too quickly, it seemed and King realized he'd struck a pay lode in the myopic-looking little jerk who stood peering out at him. The guy wore a white laboratory coat with two bloodstains on it and was holding a scalpel in his hand. "I'm Doctor Entman. Can I help you?" Entman Entman for Christ sake. Oh, sure, a neurologist. Had to be the same guy. International authority.
PYGMALION. But they are conscious. I have taught them to talk and read; and now they tell lies. That is so very lifelike. MARTELLUS. Not at all. If they were alive they would tell the truth. You can provoke them to tell any silly lie; and you can foresee exactly the sort of lie they will tell. Give them a clip below the knee, and they will jerk their foot forward.
Cuckoo gave her body a jerk which brought her feet down to the floor, so that she was sitting upright. She pushed out one of her hands as if in protest. "You can't sit here," she murmured. "I? Why not?" "I can't have you here, nor I won't either." Her voice was growing louder and fiercer as the first paralysis of surprise died gradually away from her.
At which she became instantly regretful, and slipped her arm consolingly within his, as they walked toward the great barn, which had from the first seemed to the city girl the most delightful of structures. It was further proof of Monty's dejection that he did not jerk his arm away, nor would he have cared at all who saw him thus being petted by a "girl."
His manner was so confident, that the boys became interested in spite of themselves, and several nearly lost their balance, craning out their necks to see beyond each other. At last up came the hook, with a jerk that sent Charlie backwards; it had been entangled in a large piece of seaweed, that gave way suddenly just as he got it to the surface.
Ben Weatherstaff's head had just dropped forward and he lifted it with a jerk. "You have been asleep," said Colin. "Nowt o' th' sort," mumbled Ben. "Th' sermon was good enow but I'm bound to get out afore th' collection." He was not quite awake yet. "You're not in church," said Colin. "Not me," said Ben, straightening himself. "Who said I were?
