Our opinion is, he don't know beef from hedgehog; and let him trim 'em, and egg 'em, and bread-crumb 'em, and pound the mess all his might, and then tak' and roll 'em into balls, we say we wun't, for we can't make English muscle out o' that."
He had been thinking the same thing himself. Bruce often had watched an ant trying to move a bread-crumb many times its size, pushing with all its feet braced, rushing it with its head, backing off and considering and going at it again. Failing, running frantically around in front to drag and pull and tug.
She took some of the bread-crumb near her to rub out what he had written hesitated as her hand approached the lines colored more deeply than before, and went on with her drawing, leaving the letters beneath it to remain just as young Thorpe had traced them. "I shall never be able to draw as well as she does," said Zack, looking at the little he had done with a groan of despair.
The steward absently rolled a piece of bread-crumb between his fingers and said: "I spent that on this fibula with an incised onyx and as cheap as dirt, I can tell you. If Caesar comes he must see who and what I am; and if I die any one will give you twice as much for it as I paid. I tell you the Empress's money was well laid out on the thing."

When it lay quivering and shining behind each block and bar Bruce felt that his gargantuan bread-crumb had been dragged almost to the goal. It was well, too, he told himself with indescribable relief, for, not only his money, but his courage, his nerves, were well-nigh gone. Bruce would trust no one but himself to pour the mercury in the boxes.
She was still looking away from him at the bread-crumb, or she could have seen that McLean's hand was trembling as he watched her leaning on his arms. "Oh yes, she was willing to talk to me!" The woman uttered another sudden laugh. "I knowed about her all. Things get heard of in this world.
Jay knows the importance of giving himself a respectable look when he is going to run the risk of changing a stolen bank-note. At five minutes past ten o'clock he had given the last brush to his shabby hat and the last scouring with bread-crumb to his dirty gloves. At ten minutes past ten he was in the street, on his way to the nearest cab-stand, and I and my subordinates were close on his heels.
The girl freed the last remaining bread-crumb from her gloves. "Why, of course, uncle," she said, with promptitude. Although there was no hint of protest in her tone or manner, he felt impelled to soften still further this solitary demonstration of his authority.
On a tree whose bleak bark the sun had warmed, vagrant sparrows in hand-me-down feathers discussed rumors of the establishment of a bread-crumb line and the better day that was coming for all proletarian sparrows. A rounded drift of snow stood out against a red barn.
