"Hallo! here's somethin'," exclaimed Big Waller, as the point of the stake with which he tore up the earth struck against some hard substance. "Have a care, boy," cried Bounce, stooping down and clearing away the earth with his hands. "P'r'aps it's easy broken. No why it's a keg!" "So it am," cried Gibault; "p'r'aps it am poudre."
March had always been possessed of a glib tongue, and he seemed, as Bounce remarked, to have oiled the hinges since his return to Pine Point settlement. "Mother," said March, after a short pause that had succeeded an unusually long burst, "do you know it's only a few months since I left you to go to this trip to the mountains?" "I know it well, my son," replied the widow, smiling at the question.
One minute it's so darkish you can't see nothing and the next minute the sun comes up with a bounce from behind the mountains and things is all clear.
Hawley plead with him not to sell Prime liquor, and I've heern him order her out of the saloon, and I've follered her hum, to see how she took it. Well, it was dreadful to see her goings on. She'd bounce on to the bed and groan there, then she'd bounce up and throw herself on the floor and groan there, and moan and holler right out; O, it seemed 'zif she never would get cool.
In this game a rubber ball is used. One of the players throws it against a wall and as it strikes calls out the name of another player, who must catch it on its first bounce. If he does so he in turn then throws the ball against the wall, but if he misses he recovers it as quickly as possible while the rest scatter, and calls "stand," at which signal all the players must stop.
The pit being nearly full of water, she had little to do on starting, and, to use George’s words, “came bounce into the house.” Dodds exclaimed, “Why, she was better as she was; now, she will knock the house down.” After a short time, however, the engine got fairly to work, and by ten o’clock that night the water was lower in the pit than it had ever been before.
In an instant Bounce started at full speed up the river, plunged into it, and, descending with fearful rapidity, swung round into the eddy behind the stone almost before his companions could divine what he meant to do. Even in that moment of terrible suspense March Marston looked with an expression of surprise at his friend as he swam up beside him.
Then we'll all have supper with Lorraine afterwards. You shall have a nice, quiet, interesting evening with Doris, and I'll get two stalls for you for another night." She moved about, gathering up her things. "You don't know Quin's aunt, Lady Bounce, do you? She's the dearest old soul, and she loves a theatre.
The next moment, relieved in great part from the downward strain at the bows, the boats gave a sudden bounce upwards, as a small icefield will, when a dense herd of white bears are scared from it into the sea. "Haul in! Haul in!" cried Starbuck again; "he's rising."
"You drove him under the house," answered Virginia petulantly, "playing all three phonographs at once. Really, it's awful, Charley, and you'd better look out or mother will give you the bounce." "Scolding women talking women," mused Charley drunkenly. "Well; what do you want me to do?" "I'm not scolding!" denied Virginia, and then as he leered at her she gave way weakly to tears.
