I like to have Dennis come in, he never snaps up his old mother as he does Hepsie and other folks. I don't like to be in the dark and have it so still, a dog yapping is better than no noise, at all. I say, 'Now I lay me' ever so many times a day to keep me company." "You ought to live at our house, we have noisy times; mother and I sing, and father is always humming about his work. Mr.
"See here, boy!" says he. "Do you happen by any chance to know where that son of mine might be found at this moment?" "Mr. Robert?" says I. "Nix." "No, of course you don't!" says Old Hickory, glarin' at me. "No one around this precious asylum for undeveloped cerebellums seems to know anything they ought to. Bah!" "Yes, sir," says I. "Don't grin at me that way!" he snaps. "Get out!
"I'm going to get a picture of some of these niggers when they get through," he continued aside to Lathrop. "What; you brought a camera?" asked the other boy. "Sure thing," replied Billy, "and if their ugly mugs don't break the lens, I mean to get some good snaps." He drew a small flat folding camera from his pocket as he spoke and got it ready for action. "Do you think Frank would stand for it?
"An' if you watch close you can see the coyotes. They're gray an' they move.... Can't you hear them?" Helen's excited ears, so full of throbs and imaginings, presently registered low snaps and snarls. Bo gave her arm a squeeze. "I hear them. They're fighting. Oh, gee!" she panted, and drew a long, full breath of unutterable excitement. "Keep quiet now an' watch an' listen," said the hunter.
The woodpecker's, which has to pierce the trunks of trees, is like a pickaxe; that of the humming-bird, which has to suck up the juice of flowers from the bottom of their corollas, is slender as a needle. The swallow feeds on flies, which it snaps up on the wing, and has a soft bill, which opens like a little oven.
Her commander snaps out a number of orders. Provisions are to be taken in "up to the neck," fresh water is to be put aboard, and engine-room supplies to be supplemented. A mere plank is the gangway to the little vessel. As the commander, followed by his officers, comes aboard, a sailor hands to each a ball of cotton-waste, the sign and symbol of a submarine officer, which never leaves his hand.
'Uncle Ansel, says she, 'I must tell you somethin'. I should have preferred tellin' you privately, she puts in, glarin' at Nate, 'but it seems I can't. Mr. Tolliver and I are engaged to be married. "Old Whiskers didn't seem to care a continental. All he had in his addled head was that flyin' contraption. "'All right, all right, he snaps, fretty, 'I'm satisfied.
His own foolish purpose is more to him in that moment of irritation than all these. So he snaps the tie, abandons his work, and goes away without a kindly word, without a blessing, without the Church's prayers but with his nephew for whom he had given up all these.
We'll get it the first thing in the morning before anybody else snaps it up, and then, when could we get in to see Jim? Would they let us in after my office hours or would we have to wait till Sunday? You look after that will you? I might get off at four o'clock if that's not too late." "Dey'll let us in on Sunday ef you ask, I reckon," said Sam much moved. "But it's awful dark in prison.
We drove to Ypres via Poperinghe and Vlamertinge and saw the famous "Goldfish" Château on our left, which escaped being shelled, and was then gutted by an accidental fire! I was surprised to see anything at all of the once beautiful Cloth Hall. We took some snaps of the remains.
