So the Navy had to drop the investigation. Everybody on Marduk's scared of this Makann. You think there might be some tie-up between him and Dunnan?" "The idea's occurred to me. Have there been any more raids on Marduk trade-planets since the Battle of Audhumla?" "A couple. The Bolide was on Audhumla a while ago.
So we took the road to Pine Creek, but at the threshold of the village our fancy was taken by the particularly quaint white wooden meeting-house, surrounded on three sides with tie-up sheds for vehicles, each stall having a name affixed to it, like a pew: "P.

So he ties you up or tries you out for a tie-up or a kidnapping; and Benjie Doolittle, who likes a sporting event, takes a chance that you'll stand hitched in a plan to rid the community of a political pest without seriously hurting the pest a friendless old maid who won't be missed for a day or two, and whose disappearance can be hushed up one way or another after she appears too late for the election.
The small door where the boys came in, led to a long and narrow passage, between the tie-up and the bay. They walked along, Jonas going before with his lantern in his hand.

Perry, who had just returned from ashore, where he had been testing the security of the tie-up, entered the cabin. "What's the trouble, boys?" he asked, noting the studied expression of their faces.

Hurstwood had been reading of this thing, and wondering concerning the huge tie-up which would follow. A day or two before this trouble with Carrie, it came.

How would you do that without something to guide your radio compass?" "That's so"; Hal admitted, with another foolish look. "It's too bad," Bud broke in, with tone well suited to his words. "I suppose the next thing for us to do is to look for a tie-up for the night." said Hal indicating his sense of defeat by his change of subject. "I think father is doing that now," replied Cub.
"Honest to God, I forget it myself," he asserted devoutly. "How can a man be always thinking to tell everyone he meets that he's still in a legal tie-up, when the only way he can remember it himself is by coming across his marriage certificate, now and then?
