From his manner he might have been addressing a Brigade and not merely Blob, disguised in an ancient shako, lying on his stomach, and armed with a hay-rake. He plunged down the bank. As he reached the greensward a warning shout from the cottage reached him. "Ha! what's this?" joggled the Parson sharply. "Flank attack! who the pest? Oh, Gap Gang I forgot."
I'm a married man." "We've both been home visiting for a month, and walking the chalk. My, but ma's strict! We got back tonight," said Maud glibly. "Go ahead, Queenie.

There would appear just above the horizon line a ball of smoke as black as your hat and the size of your hat, which meant a grenade of high explosives. Then right behind it would blossom a dainty, plumy little blob of innocent white, fit to make a pompon for the hat, and that, they told us, would be shrapnel.
"Oi loike killin better'n bein kill'd," Blob announced solemnly, and crept out on hands and knees, a tip of pink tongue travelling about his lips. Then he turned to his dead. Kit wound up again.

At length Tom's friend, being of an ingenious turn of mind, suggested sealing with ink; and the letter was accordingly stuck down with a blob of ink, and duly handed by Tom, on his way to bed, to the housekeeper to be posted.
Oi'm his lad." "He's coming with me later," said Nelson. "Won't you too?" "Maybe," said Blob. "When Oi got ma money." "Plenty o killing, you know, Blob," said the Parson slyly. Blob rippled off into roguish laughter. "Oi'll coom," he said. "Mate, pudden and killin that's what Oi loike." Nelson stood at the gangway. "Good-bye, Kit.
Two hands shot out and plastered themselves over the stimulated part. There was a wriggle. Then Blob stood before them, touzled, pink, his ears wide, an apple tight between his teeth.

When in gear, the current that went through the "frame" of the hour-glass-shaped craft turned it into a huge blob of plasma, a miniature nebula, and hurled it into space.
