But in the meantime Louis wept uncomforted, and "batted" his sister with baby palms in the impotence of his anger as she carried him within. My grandmother said nothing of any importance on the way home. She was evidently thinking deeply, and confined herself to "Hush, you there!" and "Do ye hear what I was saying to ye?" But on her arrival at Heathknowes, Mrs.
Side-saddle?" gasped the girl from Rose Ranch. "I wouldn't risk my neck that way." Suddenly somebody batted a determined tennis ball from far down the nearest court. It whizzed over the back stop, and bang! hit the grey pony on the nose. Rhoda had not been a bad prophet.
"I'll bet you ten dollars he isn't batted out at all," spluttered Harry, fiercely. "Here's my money, too!" "Make it twenty-five and I will go you," drawled Harris. "All right, I'll make it twenty-five." The money was staked. Derry, also a heavy hitter, was second on Harvard's list.
Like tennis balls, they had been batted from one end of the year to the other, and now, at this time, Digby Trotter and wife had become members of New York's "floating population." Seldom did they live in one place more than three months, sometimes less than one.
"Did he see you?" "No." "Did he rise to a bug?" "No, he didn't; but then maybe he wasn't hungry" answered Joe, who could not understand what Wetzel was driving at. "Tell me exactly what he did." "That's just the trouble; he didn't do anything," replied Joe, thoughtfully. "He just lay low, stifflike, under a stone. He never batted an eye. But his side-fins quivered like an aspen leaf."
Next day my man was waiting and marched me boldly up to the same chap who had refused me the day before. "'Ere's a recroot for ye, Jim," says my friend. Jim never batted an eye. He began to "awsk" questions and to fill out a blank. When he got to the birthplace, my guide cut in and said, "Canada."
Wolfe, in consequence, had been cross and nasty in his temper, and had batted Snipe out of the way on more than one occasion. So the trailer was feeling blue and disconsolate, and wondered how it was that "Naseby" Raegen, "Rags" Raegen's younger brother, had had the luck to get a two weeks' visit to the country with the Fresh Air Fund children, while he had not.
He was a man about twenty-eight years old, and looked even older, hence the nickname of Dad. This man was most erratic and could not be relied upon. Sometimes he would do brilliant work, and at other time children could have batted him all over the lot. He was used only in desperate emergencies, and could not be counted on in a pinch.
She leaned to him, with the color drained out of her face; and the crowd of black and pink and red dominos, gnomes gone mad, pressed, batted, surged. "Look out, Sweetness! Don't give out in here! They'll crush us out. Ain't you got no nerve? Here; don't give out now! Gee! Watch out, there! The lady's sick. Watch out! Here; now sit down a minute and get your wind."
A head appearing, he coolly batted it three times against a corner of the seat arm, after which he pulled the contestant out by the hair and threw him into a seat where he lay limp. Then it could be seen that Jimmy had clasped tight in his embrace a leg each of the other two. He hugged them close to his breast, and jammed his face down against them to protect his features.
