"To think that our sport should have " Cecilia was opening her eyes. "Clip! Clip, dear!" whispered Cora. "Try to wake up!"
On the bent-up third finger is the Bighi Palace, now a naval hospital, built by Napoleon as a residence for himself. The middle finger is the Burgh, with Port Saint Angelo at the end.

On one occasion, when some of my coolies were crossing a log, which was lying on the ground, my overseer, just as they were doing so, observed that under a bent-up portion of the log there was a cobra.

The ground on which his own block had once stood was now occupied by an immense red brick building with white stone trimmings; in front on either side of the main entrance were white stone medallions upon which were chiselled the head of a workman wearing the square paper cap that the workman never wears, and a bent-up forearm, the biceps enormous, the fist gripping the short hammer that the workman never uses.
"What does 'Forward Hunch' mean?" whispered Hinpoha to Sahwah, who stood beside her. Sahwah shook her head. "No talking in the ranks!" came the stern order from up front. Hinpoha subsided. "R-r-r-i-g-h-t D-r-r-e-s-s!" Heads whirled to the right as though turned by a single screw, and bent-up left elbows pressed stiffly into neighboring ribs. "F-r-r-o-n-t!"

He had a skull-cap pulled down low over his forehead, and wore a long, black overcoat. Sometimes the old man relapsed into a state of coma, lasting several hours.
Oh, a dozen'll do, seeing we've got steak "; and I limply showed all I had fifteen. Dan scratched his head trying to solve the problem. "Never reckon it's worth beginning under a dozen," he said; but finally suggested tossing for 'em after they were cooked.
