Emile's calculation of the amount of fish caught, corrected by Karlek by the simple process of multiplying the sum by two, and with a bit more added by myself to be sure not to underestimate it, formed all the legal data I needed. The lean, scrawny figure of Ike, twisting and squirming with evident uneasiness, awaited my arrival at the appointed time.
Under these circumstances Master Edgar selected a good-sized stone one which he thought would hurt and took excellent aim at Dexter, where he sat contemplating the river. The result was most satisfactory: Dexter had winced, evidently suffered sharp pain, but only submitted to it, and sat down again twisting himself about.
Full speed ahead Casey gave him, and they roared on up the steep, twisting grade to the summit of the Pass. Casey began to feel a distinct admiration for this particular Ford.
It seemed to the impatient Toby that an hour must have passed since they ensconced themselves in their present location, when he just faintly caught the anticipated click that announced the accomplishment of Jack's work. Twisting his head slightly around Toby could see his chum calmly turning the film so as to bring another blank in line for a second shot.
Below Hare was a smaller rapid where the broken water turned toward the nearer side of the river, but with an accompaniment of twisting swirls and vicious waves. "I guess we'd better risk it," said Hare, grimly recalling the hot rock, the sand, and lava of the desert. "It's safe, if Silvermane is a good swimmer," replied Mescal.
Durtal went down the nave, darker than the choir; the pavement sloped gently to the door, for in the Middle Ages it was washed every morning after the departure of the crowds who slept on it; and he looked down, in the middle, on the labyrinth marked out on the ground in lines of white stone and ribbons of blue stone, twisting in a spiral, like a watch-spring.
How do you do, Fred?" said Jacqueline, holding out her hand to a very young man, in a jacket ornamented with gold lace, who stood twisting his cap in his hand with some embarrassment "It is a long time since we have seen each other. But it does not seem to me that you have grown a great deal." Fred blushed up to the roots of his hair.
"This isn't the nicest kind of tramping in the world, is it?" came from Shep. "Don't say a word," answered Giant. "I just came within an inch of twisting my left ankle." They had a small brook to cross and there stopped for a drink of water. They were just going on again when another distant gunshot sounded out. "They must be doing a lot of hunting to-day," observed Snap.
Sir Percival had gone out a minute before to look at the stables, and no one was in the room but ourselves. "I suppose we have really and truly done all we can?" she said, turning and twisting Mrs. Catherick's letter in her hand.
"Cobbler" Horn placed the pink paper on the little table by his bedside, and turned to Tommy, who stood just within the doorway, nervously twisting his hat between his hands. "Come in, Tommy, come in!" said "the Golden Shoemaker," encouragingly, "you see I am almost well."
