I've made a swipe of money in the last year nigh forty thousand dollars Continental so I can afford to marry whom I like; and though I own that thirty thousand acres is no smouch of land, yet I'm really soft on Miss Janice, and would marry her even if she had n't money, now that I've got some of my own." "It can make no difference, Mr. Bagby," replied the mother.
I began to apologize, but she reached down under the counter and pulled out a club. "This," she said, with a wild look in her side lamps; "this is the happy summer season, but, nevertheless, the next guy that leaves his brains at home and tries to make me tell him what is a good birthday present for his wife will get a bitter swipe across the forehead!"
He wouldn't swipe a million dollars let alone a rotten, measly fifty thousand!" "Charlie Manton! What kind of talk is that? You ought to be ashamed!" "Well, I ain't so there! And I'm Bill's friend, and I ain't afraid to say so, either. You do love Bill and you know it! You can claim you hate him till you're black in the face, but you can't fool me!
"I could have poked him with my gun! Had he any special business with us, do you suppose?" "Took me for a cow moose, an' was jest a-goin' to swipe me!" answered Jabe, rather elated at the compliment which the bear had paid to his counterfeit. The Famous Hunter drew a breath of profound satisfaction.
If it was a square fight, and us bote wit de same chance, I wouldn't say; but you bein' a dude perfessor and gettin' right into de place like dat ain't right. Say, don't be a hawg, Sam. Don't swipe it all. Fifty-fifty! Does dat go? 'I don't know, I said. 'You had better ask the real Sam. Good night. I walked past him and made for the school gates at my best pace. He trotted after me, pleading.
"I see why you call him Ko-Ko," Ruth said, aiming her camera, "Don't the others do it that way?" "Well, Little Fuzzy runs along beside them and pivots and gives them a quick chop. Mike and Mitzi flop theirs over first and behead them on their backs. And Mamma takes a swipe at their legs first. But beheading and breaking the undershell, they all do that." "Uh-huh; that's basic," she said.
North America figured on Marsport folding up once they got a police war started, with a bunch of chiseling profiteers as their front; they expected the citizens to yell uncle all the way back to Earth. But out here, nobody thinks of Earth as a place to yell to for help, so they missed. And now Security's got Pan-Asia and United Africa balanced against North America, so the swipe won't work.
This conciliatory arrangement proving satisfactory, supper was served on the new plan with numerous directions and admonitions from Amarilly. "No self-helpin's, Milt. Bud, if you knock Flammy's elbow, he needn't give you anything to eat. Bobby, if you swipe another bite from Gus, I'll spank you. Co, quit yer self-reachin's! Flammy, you hev got to pass everything to the Boarder fust.
The lowest branch was seven or eight feet above the ground. Lew raced toward it, gathered himself for a leap and sprang upward. He caught the limb and swung himself up with all possible speed. He was not a second too soon. As Lew's body shot upward, the bear rose on her hind feet, and the vicious swipe of her paw barely missed Lew's body.
"Nay, I won't trust you," said the gardener, laughing softly. "You'll get hitting at me again instead of at Pete. I arn't forgetted that swipe you give me that night." "Well, you gave it back to me with interest," said Tom. "Ay, that's so, sir; I did. But it wouldn't do for master to come and find all our late apples gone." "What time shall we begin then?" "Not a minute later than six, sir."
