"Oh! I say, 'Ockins," whispered Ebony at this point, "my mout's a-waterin'." "Well, mine's somethin' in the same way," returned the seaman, "but we haven't a rap to buy with."
I don't want we should stay here a great while longer; I shall be frettin' if I'm in reach of her, and I shan't get any good of the ai'a. Will you promise?" "Yes." "Well, then!" Mrs. Lander turned her face upon the pillow again in the dramatization of her exhaustion; but she was not so far gone that she was insensible to the possible interest that a light rap at the door suggested.
She had never leapt a gate; had attempted a bank now and then, but nothing serious. Her success at the water-jumps tempted her; and the mare, galloping with her second wind, seemed to feel the temptation every whit as strongly. In the instant of rising to it Ruth wondered what Farmer Cordery would say if she broke his top bar. . . . The mare's feet touched it lightly rap, rap. She was over.
The janitor told me she'd had three full sets of servants stole right out from under her nose by female bandits over on Park Avenue. I don't suppose I'll ever have another chance to get even with her. Everything all set to bind and gag her, and maybe rap her over the bean a couple of times and say, can you beat it for rotten luck? She she double-crossed me, that's what she "
The thought that there WAS a secret somewhere between them struck her with a sudden smart rap of wonder, and she looked about her down the dim, long room. "Can it be the house?" she mused. The room itself might have been full of secrets.

"There's plenty o' common lodgin'-'ouses, ain't there?" "Yes, but I haven't got a single rap." "Well, then, ain't there the casual ward? Why don't you go there? You'll git bed and board for nothin' there." Having put this question, and received no answer, Ned turned away without further remark.
Why do we think that the male has the gayest feathers do you remember that also?" "No, I've forgotten," said Nat. "I remember," cried Rap; "it is to please the female and because she sits so much on the nest that if her feathers were as bright as the male's her enemies would see her quicker, and when the little birds hatch out they are mostly in plain colors too, like their mother."

The men have to "fall in" in their right sections; have to be numbered, have to form fours. If there is any muddle whatever, a Battalion cannot move off in five minutes.
Three fair ducks skim its waters clear, The King's son hunteth far and near. The King's son draweth near the lake, He bears his gun of magic make. With magic gun of silver bright He sights the Black but kills the White. He sights the Black but kills the White; Ah, cruel Prince, my heart you smite." A rap on the door interrupted him.
