A warmly administered prod broke through her stoicism and started her tottering along. The shouting of the rabble ebbed away as the queer race ran on toward the beach. But in a few minutes it could be heard flooding back, this time Wiwau panting with the weight of coral stone and Tiha, a-smart with what she had endured, trying more than to even the score.
His guard burst through, swearing vilely, and rewarded the temerarious typewriter expert with a twisting prod that kept him gasping for the rest of the journey, now nearing its end. But Little was satisfied.
"Your fire's all right now, Bobbie," Don said distinctly. Tim turned up his nose and faced in Wally Woods's direction. But Wally's fire, small and compact, gave him no excuse to tinker. He advanced to where Andy Ford was preparing to fry his meat. "Gee!" he said. "That sure is one sick-looking fire." "Suits me," said Andy. He laid the meat in the pan. Tim began to prod the fire with his foot.
One regarding them, a stranger to their intent, might think they meant slaughtering either the mules or the men on their backs. They have no such thought, but a design altogether different, as declared by Wilder's words the last spoken by him before the act of execution.

"This disturbance makes no difference to me," he would quietly say, "I am only sorry to have the time of the House wasted in such unreasonable fashion."

"Then why not leave off trying! What do you want to poke yourself and prod yourself into love, for?" "Because I'm DEAD without it. I'm dead. I'm dying." "Only because you force yourself. If you drop working yourself up " "I shall die. I only live when I can fall in love. Otherwise I'm dying by inches. Why, man, you don't know what it was like.
Addcock, with a final prod as she came out to the barn with Mrs. Tillett to reclaim Baby Tillett.

"'Ha, ha, replied Raymond with a bitter smile, 'ha, ha! Let them take it, and see what Captain Whiteboy will do? He has the possession ha, ha an' who'll get him to give it up? Who dare take that, or any of Captain Whiteboy's farms? But sure it's not, much only a coal, a rushlight, and a prod of a pike or a baynet but I know who ought to have them.
