Flashing through this cloud leaped tongues of flame intermingled with rocks and splintered trees. From the tunnel's mouth streamed a thin, steel-colored gas that licked its way along the upper edges of the opening and was lost in the underbrush fringing its upper lip. "What's that?" muttered the red-shirted foreman "that ain't no blast My God! they're blowed up!"
She knew that such was his opinion when, refusing to take the paper, she stepped back, coldly, and he looked at her in surprise, a sneer following instantly. "Don't want to read it eh? Not interested? Jealous, mebbe eh?" He grinned. "Sure that's it, you're jealous." He laughed gleefully. "You women are sure jokes. Masten can't wake you up eh? Well, mebbe Masten " He paused and licked his lips.
"Sit still you had better sit still," he added, in a soothing voice behind which was a deadly authority. The Mudir licked his dry, colourless lips, and gasped, for he might make an outcry, but he saw that Dicky would be quicker. He had been too long enervated by indulgence to make a fight.
"You handful of Mormons Uncle Sam could have licked you with both hands tied behind him. Why, you crazy fool, he'd have spit on you and drowned every last one of you, old Brigham Young and all.

Calder licked his cigar meditatively. "Better," said he at last. "Oh!"
Kiss me, kiss me at once," and amid many growls of almost subterranean awfulness, the dog licked his master's face. "I wish you would tie him up to oblige me." Highly pleased at the fear and wonder his dog had struck in the gaudy Jewesses and the shaky generals, Frank threatened and finally forced the dog to lie down.
The bear loitered near by some time, no doubt wary of the presence of man, but at last his appetite overcame his caution, and he started licking up the honey. Almost frantic with fear, dreading the gash of tearing teeth, the man lay quiet, while the animal licked the smears off his trembling legs.
The flames hissed and danced, and there was a rush of steam all along the ridge, but the water seemed to be licked up directly.
At the end of 1915 she had two new allies, and held all of Servia, Montenegro, and Russian Poland, and still the Allies persisted: "She is licked, but she does not know it yet." It is one of the finest proofs of the world's faith in the triumph of the Right that so many believe this to be true.
