Roll the beef up tight, fasten it with small skewers, put a cloth over it, bandage the cloth with tape, put the beef into the stewpot, cover it with water to the depth of an inch, boil gently six hours; take it out of the water, place it on a board without undoing it; lay a board on top of the beef, put a fifty pound weight upon this board, and let it remain twenty-four hours.
Exactly what was the nature of the leak to which the Senator referred?" "A tape transcribed at one of your top-secret meetings." Taber's fist closed and opened. "I guess maybe I have been lax," he said softly. Porter, grimly happy to have made his point, went on. "As to policy up above, I'll be quite frank.
When all is said and done, when Dickens has done his best and his worst, when he has sentimentalised for pages and tried to tie up everything in the pink tape of optimism, the fact, in the psychology of the reader, still remains.
No, we think it well to hedge our government with dignity, but on this trip we shall leave the gold lace and red tape behind." "How long do you propose to be gone?" "About four weeks. But I make you a promise. If after the first week you want to return from any point, I shall send you back with all speed. But you won't want to, I guarantee you that.

And the tenor of it was precisely opposite to that of an order calculated to delay the major's march, as Mr. Jennifer could see if he would read it.

He was almost dead, but he lived long enough to record on tape some amazing data, so wild it was almost dismissed as the ravings of delirium.
He looked at me a little suspiciously, as if doubtful what I was driving at or whether or not I was joking him. But I was as serious as the face of nature; and proceeded at once to get out my tape measure. "I get very much interested in such things," I said, "and I had enough curiosity to want to see how big your arm really was." He smiled broadly. "You're a queer one," said he.
He pointed out a half-grown specimen of sugar pine. "About twenty inches in diameter," replied Bob promptly. Welton silently handed him a tape line. Bob descended.
