When you do find a little gold you squander it. You have nothing but a gun. You can't do anything but shoot." "Maybe that'll come in handy," he said, lightly. "Jim Cleve, you haven't it in you even to be BAD," she went on, stingingly. At that he made a violent gesture. Then he loomed over her. "Joan Handle, do you mean that?" he asked. "I surely do," she responded.
But one thing is undeniable that in the rare air, clear, cold, and blinding light of Alpine winters, a man takes a certain troubled delight in his existence which can nowhere else be paralleled. He is perhaps no happier, but he is stingingly alive. It does not, perhaps, come out of him in work or exercise, yet he feels an enthusiasm of the blood unknown in more temperate climates.
She had thought nothing of it at the time, but it seemed a great matter now. And at the memory of Peg's crude accusation the blood rushed stingingly to Faith's pale cheeks. "I'm not jealous! How dare she say so? I hate her I hate her!" She spoke the words in a whisper through the silent room and the bitter sound of them frightened her. Hate Peg! Oh, no, she did not mean that.
She was less angry with her little sister than with the incomprehensible fact of a playful word bringing the blood stingingly to her neck and face. "Kitty, you forget your manners," she said, sharply. "Kit is fresh. She's an awful child," added Rose, with a superior air. "I didn't say a thing," cried Kathleen, hotly.

You two newspaper men, you come with me." He opened the gate and went in, the "Journal" reporter and I following all three of us wiping our half-blinded eyes.

It made me rub my lips, it tickled so. Hildreth noticed it. "Wait," she bade playfully, "I'll bet I can make you rub your lips again." "No, you can't."
He had intended the handful of fire to land on the floor just in front of it, thus causing it to shrink back. Instead the burning particles had fallen stingingly among its coils. The snake twisted its arrow-shaped head as if to see what had befallen it. Then catching sight of Brice's swooping hand it struck.
