"I did," replied Stubbs, briefly. "Why?" continued Chester. "Afraid he might jump you? Hope you didn't think he could catch you if you had a two-foot start." Stubbs drew himself up majestically. "What do you mean by that?" he demanded in a ruffled tone. "Oh, nothing," said Chester, smiling. "If you mean to insinuate that I was afraid " began Stubbs in an injured tone. "What!" interrupted Chester.
Durdles unfeelingly takes out his two-foot rule, and measures the lines calmly, alloying them with stone-grit. 'This is for the monument, is it, Mr. Sapsea? 'The Inscription. Yes. Mr. Sapsea waits for its effect on a common mind. 'It'll come in to a eighth of a inch, says Durdles. 'Your servant, Mr. Jasper. Hope I see you well. 'How are you Durdles?
Kohokumu caught the line that was fast to the butt of the pole and under-handed it in until a two-foot ukikiki, battling fiercely to the end, flashed its wet silver in the sun and began beating a tattoo on the inside bottom of the canoe.
So the Eytalian 'e lets swing again, but Bob 'e jumps inside an' 'e lets 'im 'ave it plumb square on the meat safe as 'ard as ever the Lord would let 'im put it in." "Well? Well?" "Vell, the Eytalian 'e got a touch of the gurgles, an' 'e shut 'imself right up like a two-foot rule. Then 'e pulled 'imself straight, an' 'e gave the most awful Glory Allelujah screech as ever you 'eard.

It was a good thing I did, because before we had gone ten feet, some character got between us, dragged a two-foot length of inch-and-a-half high-pressure hose out of his pant leg, and started to swing at the back of Oscar's head. I promptly clipped him behind the ear with a fist full of money, and down he went.
Keith managed to get a grip next to the black fingers, and the two pressed it up far enough for the white man to run one arm through the opening up to his shoulder and grope about below. "There's a two-foot space there," he reported, as they let the board settle silently down into position. "The back part of this building must be set up on piles.
They think there is nothing worth pursuit, but that which they can handle; which they can measure with a two-foot rule; which they can tell upon ten fingers. Without the principles of the Jacobins, perhaps without any principles at all, they played the game of that faction. There was a beaten road before them.
In order that the mortar in the joints may not suffer from frosts, drench it with oil-dregs every year before winter begins. Thus treated, it will not let the hoarfrost enter it. If, however, it seems needful to use still greater care, lay two-foot tiles, jointed together in a bed of mortar, over the broken stone, with little channels of one finger's breadth cut in the faces of all the joints.
TWENTY-FOUR INCH GAUGE. A two-foot rule. One of the working-tools of an Entered Apprentice, and a symbol of time well employed. TYPHON. The brother and slayer of Osiris in the Egyptian mythology.
