In his report he mentioned that he had taken a hand himself, merely as an example to the flock; I bet he had never enjoyed an evening more in all his life. The second fight began, as usual, round the Mission, but seems to have ended two miles off. In less than six months he had rebuilt the school-house, organised a police force, converted all that was left of one tribe, and started a tin church.
"Ojo seems glad to have the oil, for some reason." "Yes," declared the Munchkin boy, "I am glad. For one of the things the Crooked Magician sent me to get was a drop of oil from a live man's body. I had no idea, at first, that there was such a thing; but it's now safe in the little crystal vial." "You are very welcome to it, indeed," said the Tin Woodman.
It is thought that much copper gives a deep, full tone, and that much tin with, sometimes, zinc makes the tone sharp. The age of a bell has something to do with its sound being rich and mellow; but the bellmaker has even more, for he must understand not only how to cast it, but also how to tune it. If you tap a large bell, it will, if properly tuned, sound a clear note.
She tried to sit up, but the trees danced in front of her. Margaret and Thayor started toward her. "You've slept so well, mother," she could hear Margaret saying; "you feel better, don't you?" Thayor was on his knees beside her he put his arm under her shoulders and placed a tin cup to her lips. "Come, dear drink this" she heard his voice faintly. Her lips moved spasmodically.
A large letter which I received from him has been sent to Sir Thomas MacLear, and this contains nothing but observations. During the four months I was with him, I noticed him every evening making most careful notes; and a large tin box that he has with him contains numbers of field note-books, the contents of which I dare say will see the light some time.
"You tell me about the man getting dead and I'll give you the tin thing." "He was lying down in the bushes and wriggling." "Where? Near the bridge?" Pee-wee asked. "Doctor Killem didn't see him and he laughed at me. He said I was seeing things. Can you wriggle? I looked back out of the window and saw him." "Did you tell your father about it?"
The poor Emperor felt so bewildered that for a time he could only stare at his old Head in silence. Then he said: "I must admit that I wasn't at all bad looking before I became tin. You're almost handsome for meat. If your hair was combed, you'd be quite attractive." "How do you expect me to comb my hair without help?" demanded the Head, indignantly.
Hart thinks, and Louise is so full of the news she wants to fly back to the island to tell Kitty without waiting for the message." "I don't blame her. We hoped there would be one important paper in that packet, there always is, else why all the tin box care? But isn't it strange a man like benevolent old Captain Dave never suspected such a thing?
Man with a college degree returning from Spain, not disagreeable sort, talks Spanish with that fat man who's an Argentinian. Tinian? Tinish, perhaps. All the same. In other words Tin. Nobody at the table knows I speak English or am American. Hell, that's a good one on nobody. That's a pretty fat kind of a joke on nobody. Think I'm French.
Was not a wealth of love showered on him? And everything else that delights a child's heart? She looked round his pretty room. Such a quantity of toys were piled up in it, trains and steamers, tin soldiers and picture books and all the newest games. "Come, we'll play," she said. He was quite ready to do so; she was surprised how quickly he had forgotten his sorrow.
