"I vos jus' thinking I had better be getting avay, he continued in his hoarse, gutteral voice, 'ven snick.!... I hears a key in the front door. I vos, standing by the staircase... I had no time to get out by the vay I had kom so I vent opstairs to the landing vere there vos a curtain. I shlip behind the curtain and vait!
"Cut off the ray! Quick, there!" "Yes, sir!" And through the phone the Master heard the snick of a switch being hastily thrown. "What's the idea, now?" demanded the major, astonished. "Going to let that plane close in on us, and maybe riddle us?" The Master smiled, as he made answer: "I'll chance the bullets, this time. There's a man on board that plane. A man! And we need men!"
Only once did I take the service with the full face of the racquet, and then I seemed to be stopping a bullet. I returned it into the net. The last of the series struck the wooden edge of my racquet, and soared over the back net into the shrubbery, after the manner of a snick to long slip off a fast bowler. "Game," said Mr. Chase, "we'll look for that afterwards." I felt a worm and no man.
Two knives went "snick" as they opened, then "wheep-wheep" as they cut. Several pieces of cord and bits of sacking flew into the air.
Now just as he had his hand on the door through which they had come up snick! click! a door was locked somewhere down below. brutus looked round and put the bag gently down. "Where?" he whispered. "Near the kitchen," was the reply scarce audible. "Sounded to me to come from the hall," whispered the other.
The fellow, enraged at this contempt, flung the glass out of which he was drinking at the Spaniard's head, who sprang up like a tiger, and unsheathing instantly a snick and snee knife, made an upward cut at the fellow's cheek, and would have infallibly laid it open, had I not pulled his arm down just in time to prevent worse effects than a scratch above the lower jawbone, which, however, drew blood.
There was the snick of Little One Man's razor-like knife as he released his bound comrade from the flogging post, then Nicol, with a filthy oath, flung his quirt on the ground, and, turning, thrust his way through the crowd, and strode back to the fort. Five minutes later Keeko was down at the landing. She was standing looking on while her Indians cast off the moorings of the canoes.
This pretty business might have gone on till to-morrow week had the men's upper stories been as `O.K. as their timbers, but they messed about over a pretty snick of Noll's, and, after popping the question three times, Teddy got home just in time to see his two bails tumble out of their groove.
You can tell what the one is after, but the other will invent a system of his own which will serve his turn for the nonce. Ober-hauptmann Muller was reckoned to be the finest player at the small-sword in the Kaiser's army, and could for a wager snick any button from an opponent's vest without cutting the cloth.
"A snick it is, Buck," he agreed, "and a lucky thing for you. A bit lower, and it would have smashed the bone." "We'll wash the wound and tie it up," said Jack. "Later on, later on," murmured Buck. "We've got no time to spare at present. What's the little move next with these boys in blue." "Do you think they will attack us again?" cried Jack.
