But the fantasticality of an idea seemed, in his mood to-night, merely to give it the burr-like quality of sticking in his mind, holding on there with a hundred tiny barbs, despite his endeavors to pluck it out.
Ananta hospitably arranged for our comfort. Several times during the evening I noticed his eyes fixed on me reflectively. "I know that look!" I thought. "A plot is brewing!" The denouement took place during our early breakfast. "So you feel quite independent of Father's wealth." Ananta's gaze was innocent as he resumed the barbs of yesterday's conversation.
"In that case," said Barbara, "I surrender." "If you only would, Barbs." "'Phone if you are going to, and don't be always slipping sentiment into a business proposition," She affected to look very stern and business-like. "I shall engage the magic taxi," he affirmed. "The what?" "Don't you know? There's a magic taxi in the city just one.
The invention of barbs is worthy of special notice; the series of points made the blow much more dangerous, as the projectile remained in the flesh of a wounded animal which was not able to get it out. But this was not the only object of the barbs.
"Stern all, for your lives!" roared the captain, who, before his order was obeyed, managed to give the creature two deep wounds with his lance. The lance has no barbs to its point, and is used only for wounding after the harpoon is fixed.
As the Richard bounded away to notify the other boats of the order to hurry operations, the girl observed: "The fish are heading close in all right. They're running from something.

I blame you for gambling and never getting anywhere and not caring." "Not caring? And this from you?" She changed color under his steady eyes. "You just give me a certain promise, Barbs, and I give you my word of honor I'll settle to something above-board and make it hum. Look here now! How about it? Who's been so faithful to the one girl for so long? Who understands her so well?
This Minister had made numerous enemies by the strict discharge of his duty, and yet, notwithstanding his rigid probity, he sunk under the accusation of having endangered the safety of the State by weakness of character. At this period even Madame de Stael said, in a party where the firmness of M. Barbs Marbois was the topic of conversation "What, he inflexible? He is only a reed bronzed!"
He was informed that about thirty miles north of him there were mines of copper, and also of some metal of the color of copper, but finer, brighter, and softer; and that the natives sometimes melted them together in their manufacture of barbs, spearheads, and hatchets. This intelligence excited De Soto with new hopes.
"He had garnished moccasins!" "He slew a bear with his own hands!" "His knife had a handle of ivory!" "His arrows had barbs of beavers' claws!" If the noisy claimants kept on, they would presently make the dead man a god. I begged Black Cat to cut the parley short and demand exactly what gift would compensate the Sioux for the loss of so great a warrior.
