But the word of Mr Costello was an unwelcome language for him for he nauseated the wretch that seemed to him a cropeared creature of a misshapen gibbosity, born out of wedlock and thrust like a crookback toothed and feet first into the world, which the dint of the surgeon's pliers in his skull lent indeed a colour to, so as to put him in thought of that missing link of creation's chain desiderated by the late ingenious Mr Darwin.
Perhaps the dentist is sometimes right who brings his pliers from behind his back when the patient fancies he is only scouting; but he runs a risk, always. Dr. Nash was not at all confident in this case. But he could venture a little farther with mere suggestion.
"But you haven't any pliers!" the lad went. "How can you cut wire without them? There's a pair in the shop, but " "Heah dey be! Heah dey be!" cried Eradicate, as he produced a heavy pair from his pocket. "I I couldn't find de can-opener fo' Mrs. Baggert, an' I jest got yo' pliers, Massa Tom. Oh, how glad I is dat I did. Here's de pincers, Massa Peterson."
Said the best way to skin snakes was 'fore they was dead." As Johnny began cutting the skin free from the jaws of the reptile, the long, needle-like fangs dripped yellow venom and Dick, looking on with a white face, half whispered: "Suppose you happened to touch those fangs?" "Ain't a-goin' to touch 'em. Wish I had my pliers here, to pull 'em out. You oughter save 'em, and the skull, too.
And Oswald cannot think that you are really doing wrong if you really think you are doing right. I hope you will understand this. I believe the kids tried cutting the fuses with Dick's pocket-knife that was in the pocket of his other clothes. But the fuses would not no matter how little you trembled when you touched them. But at last, with scissors and the gas pliers, they cut every fuse.
He had again lifted the cover, as Remedios turned away, and, lighted match in one hand, was twisting at a spark plug with the other. "Shucks," he cried, withdrawing his head, "that Number One plug wasn't screwed in tightly enough, that's all. I'll bet she'll go now, just the way I tightened her by hand. And if I only had a pair of pliers "
You can explain the theory of it to us after working hours." So, with monkey wrench, pliers, hammers and screwdriver, he set about making himself as busy as any of the others and as greasy. Dark came on them before they had made enough headway to be noticeable. The boys were glad to see the shadows creeping along, for, truth to tell, they were all thoroughly tired and not a little hungry.
With the pliers he tore at the side of the box and managed to chew out a piece of the thin aluminum. Then he bent back the jagged edges and tried again. The wire touched the terminal. Now to hold it in place! He searched through the tool kit again, but found nothing that was useful for this purpose. The wire had to be locked in place fairly tightly, or it would tear loose just from vibration.
Ef I sees any oh 'em, I suah will pinch 'em!" cried the colored man, as he clicked the pliers. But there was no further disturbance that night, and, when Tom and Ned ceased work, they had made good progress toward finishing the air glider.
Casey told me that he had to barricade himself in his garage that night, and he swore that Billy stood on his hind feet and stared at him all night through the window in spite of wrenches and pliers hailing out upon him. However that may be, Billy couldn't have stood there all night, unless Casey got his dates mixed.
