A hidden battery roared and pop! a little puff of cotton floated in the sky under the approaching flier. Another and another all the nervous little batteries in the hills round about were coming to our rescue. The bird-man, safely above them, drew on without flinching.
McCabe, too, and some of the other men were inclined to pop up when she least expected them. Indeed, looking back on the last two weeks she realized how very little she had been alone except in the close confines of the ranch-house. If she rode forth to inspect the work or merely to take a little canter, Tex or one of the punchers was almost sure to join her.
You want to know about birds, do you, Miss Dodo, and Nat feels grieved because I won't let him pop at our feathered neighbors that live in the orchard?

There is not a sign of movement, but sharp eyes are always watching us, even as these crouching soldiers around me are watching them. There are dead Germans in the grass before us.

Bless the heart of you, of course I saved the biggest.
With words I was safe; I could learn any number of words by heart, and sometime or other they would pop out of the medley, clothed with meaning. Chelsea, I read, was bounded on all sides "bounded" appealed to my imagination by various things that I had never identified, much as I had roamed about the town.
They were confident that German U-boats were beginning to infest the sea bordering on the Atlantic coast of the United States. One might pop up at any time and take a shot at the tender. A sharp lookout was kept, and the gun crews scarcely slept. Every sail or streamer of smoke created excitement on board. But the first night passed in safety and the day broke charmingly.

She gazed at him with those amused eyes of hers, and still again, slowly, sorrowfully, shook her head. "Oh, your spectacles are black black," she murmured. "I hope not," said he; "but such as they are, they show me the inevitable conditions of our planet.
"They are," replied Striped Chipmunk. "I couldn't get along without them. They save me a lot of running back and forth, I can tell you."
