"He's gone," said he significantly, and bestriding the balustrades, he shot to the foot. When I reached him he was pinching the biceps muscle of his arm. "Feel, Isobel," said he, "It's hard, isn't it?" "Very, Charles, but I'm in a hurry." "Look here," he continued, with an ugly expression on his face, "I'm going into training. I'm going to eat bits of raw mutton, and dumb-bell.
The tone of the last words was lighter than their meaning, but Clementina weighed them aright. "Miss Milray," she said, pinching the edge of the table by which she sat, a little nervously, and banging her head a little, "I think I can have what I want." "Then, give the whole world for it, child!" "There is something I should like to tell you." "Yes!" "For you to advise me about."
"Well, Minnie," he exclaimed, pinching her check, when he had thrice emptied his plate, "I'll not forget that you were the first one to welcome me; and, by the way, how is Jacko? and how are all the rest of your pets?"
Crudely he made his examination, pinching and twisting the flesh and bones until Rod cried out in pain, but in the end there was a glad triumph in his voice as he said: "No bone broke hurt most here!" and he touched the bruise. "Near broke rib not quite. Took wind out and made great deal sick. Want good supper, hot coffee rub in bear's grease, then be better!"
"No, Monsieur the Minister," replied the clerk. Explanations. M. Dupont de l'Eure listened, then pinching the young man's ear said, half smilingly, half angrily: "Nonsense, Monsieur the Republican, you just copy it at once." The clerk hung his head, like a clerk that he was, and copied it. M. Dupont, however, laughingly told the King about it. The King did not laugh.
And Alma, answering her somewhere down in her heartbeats: "No, mamma. No, mamma! No! No! No!" But all the little pores gaping. Mouths! The pinching up of the skin. Here, this little clean and white area. "No, mamma! No, mamma! No! No! No!" "Just once, darling?" Oh oh little graves for Alma and Louis. No! No! No!
Several of those who examined her felt her flesh, pinching it gently between thumb and forefinger, a familiarity that the girl resented. She struck down their hands. "Do not touch me!" she cried, imperiously, for was she not a princess of Helium? The expression on those terrible faces did not change.
And the accursed thing, after nearly pinching off three fingers, and scalding me with seething water, and spluttering and sputtering enough to have terrified any man but Friar Bungey out of his skin, is obstinatus ut mulum, dogged as a mule; and was absolutely good for nought, till I happily thought of separating this vessel from all the rest of the gear, and it serves now for the boiling my eggs!
"Poverty is what all could not possibly have been exempted from, not only by reason of the fluctuating nature of human possessions, but because the world could not subsist without it; for, had all been rich, none could have submitted to the commands of another, or the necessary drudgeries of life; thence all governments must have been dissolved, arts neglected, and lands uncultivated, and so an universal penury have overwhelmed all, instead of now and then pinching a few.
I sprang from my seat, and endeavoured to escape along a double line of benches, thronged with boys of all ages, from the urchin of six or seven to the nondescript of sixteen or seventeen. It was like running the gauntlet; every one, great or small, pinching, kicking, or otherwise maltreating me, as I passed by.
