"Lew, there's a frosty nip in the water this mornin'," said Jonathan. "I reckon. It's gettin' along into fall now. Any clear, still night'll fetch all the leaves, an' strip the trees bare as burned timber," answered Wetzel, brushing the ashes off the strip of meat he had roasted. "Get a stick, an' help me cook the rest of this chunk of bison.
Dislocated shoulder or not, he would have flown at any male dog that assailed him; and would have made the aggressor fight for dear life. But his mate was sacred. And he merely protected his throat and let her nip agonizingly at his ears and paws; until her brief flurry of wrath should be past.
As it was, we had a hard scramble over a good deal of loose ice, jumpin' from lump to lump, and some of us fallin' into the water several times, before we got aboard. Now that was a bad nip, sir, warn't it?"

Lunch and a nip of the colonel's vodka work wonders, and we are beginning to think, over a "papirosh," that Persia is not such a bad place after all, when the Shagird's head appears at the window.

"Let's wake them up," Menie whispered back. Then the twins began to bark. "Ki-yi, ki-yi, ki-yi, ki-yi," just like little dogs! Nip and Tup began to yelp, too. The snores and the yelps met in the middle of the tunnel and the two together made such a dreadful sound that Koko woke up at once.

There's got to be two Bills in bed, so that if one party comes one Bill can nip into the back room, and if the other Bill party, I mean comes, the other Bill you know what I mean!" Mr. Scutts swore himself faint. "That's 'ow it is, mate," said Mr. Flynn.
Then amidst a loud hooting, Hall took his weapons and without a word slunk into the boat of the Raven that lay astern, and rowed ashore; nor did Eric see his face for many months. "Thou hast done foolishly, lord, to let that weasel go," said Skallagrim, "for he will live to nip thy hand." "For good or evil, he is gone," said Eric, "and now I am worn out and desire to sleep."
