One October, for many successive days, I saw one carrying into his hole buckwheat which he had stolen from a near field. The hole was only a few rods from where we were getting out stone, and as our work progressed, and the racket and uproar increased, the chipmunk became alarmed.
He smokes like a factory, and drinks like a fish, yet at a moment's notice he is ready for some great feat of endurance such as playing through the racket championship, or swimming from Newport to Narragansett Pier. He might have been anything you please. But what can I say definitely that he is?
I wonder if you have any idea how much we are going to miss you when grandpa takes you away again." "Oh, yes, I 'magine I do. I make such a racket wherever I go that when I leave, the stillness seems like a hole. But don't you fret! I'm coming up here real often just as often as grandma will let me.
Theriere felt in his trousers' pocket, fishing out a dime. "Heads, you go; tails, I go," he said and spun the silver piece in the air, catching it in the flat of his open palm. "It's heads," said the mucker, grinning. "Gee! Wot's de racket?"

Come through, real earnest! I'll see about the rest. Exerting financial pressure is what they call this little racket you worked on me, I believe. It's a real nice game. I like it. If you ever mull or meddle with my affairs again I'll turn another check. That's for your official information so you can keep the bank from any little indiscretions. I'm telling you! This isn't blackmail.
The man who has laboured from his youth upwards can endure with his arms. It is he who has had leisure to shoot, to play cricket, to climb up mountains and to handle a racket, that can walk. 'Darned if you ain't better stuff than I took you for, said Mick, as the three let the swags down from their backs on the veranda of Ridley's hotel at Ahalala.
Then the fearful grating of the scraper on the cornice, and finally the sharp rasping cry of the saw in the marble, to say nothing of the low masses said at the end of the chapel in spite of the racket." The Zuccati were very independent skilled workmen, as well as being able to design their own subjects.
Nat he jumped in and slammed the door, and away they went a-ripping and a-tearing over the roughest road a body ever see, and the racket of it was something awful.
