"No?" as Kars shook his head. "Well, I got to, anyway. That's the only kick I got coming to the mornings. Gee, a feller gets a thirst. But who'd give a whoop for clean air? I've had so much all my life," he went on, with a laugh. "I'm lookin' for something with snap to it." "Sure." Kars' steady eyes never changed their smiling expression. "Things with snap are good for a while."
He twist the neck of the great fighting man of the tribe, so that it go with a snap, and that ends it, and he was made a chief, for, you see, in their hearts they all hated their strong man.
Especially designed by nature to capture insects in midair, their powers of flight and endurance are unexcelled, and in their own field they have no competitors. Their peculiar value to the cotton grower consists in the fact that, like the nighthawk, they capture boll weevils when flying over the fields, which no other birds do. Flycatchers snap up the weevils near trees and shrubbery.

Her dress an' little flappy cape hed the looks o' bein' held on by her shoulders alone, an' her hands was midnight dirty. "I was feelin' just tired enough to snap her up. "'A nickel! s'I, crisp, 'give you a nickel! An' what you willin' to give me? "She looked sort o' surprised an' foolish an' her mouth open.
I have guessed all my life. And as often as not I have guessed right, as you know.

The prince laughed suddenly and boisterously.
The basket slipped from her arm, and the cover flew off, letting out Snoop. The black cat, seeing a strange dog, ran down the platform as fast as she could. So with Snap chasing the other dog, and with the Bobbsey twins yelling, and with men and boys shouting, there was so much excitement that Mr. and Mrs. Bobbsey did not know what to do. "Come back, Snap!" cried Bert. "Come back!"
"I want to talk to you," murmured Ham, not knowing what else to say." "To-morrow morning, at ten o'clock, at your camp," answered Snap promptly. "That was the bargain." "But see here " "We won't waste words, Ham. It's ten o'clock to-morrow and nothing else." "We want our boat and our canoe, and we want them now," cried Ike Akley. "It is not for you to dictate, Ike Akley," said Shep.
The man took out a note-book and while he studied it Bethune asked, "Will you let me have the book?" "I guess not," said the other, who shut the book with a snap, and then turned and confronted Dick. "I want to know why you're getting after me!" "It's fairly plain. You're responsible for the stores and can't tell us what has become of a quantity of the goods."
But this night Kishimoto San gave me as a last shot: "The confusion of your religion is, it boasts only one God and numberless creeds. Each creed claims superiority. This brings inharmony and causes Christians to snap at each other like a pack of wolves. We have many gods and only one creed. We have knowledge and enlightenment which finally lead to Nirvana."
He whined, pulled and tugged to get away from Bert. "Help me hold him!" cried Bert to Nan. "I will!" she answered, glad to be doing something. Together the two older Bobbsey twins managed to keep Snap back. Dorothy, too, helped, for Snap was very strong.
