If you do, you indent the plate, and it will soon be quite impossible to level the instrument properly. That," he would continue, "is the way with your practical men. There, for instance, is Mr. ," naming an assistant in another department, known to the midshipmen as Bull-pup, who I suppose had been a practical surveyor; "that is what he does."
"Get your gun an' put that hoss out of his misery, Happy," sez Bill, an' the' was somethin' in his tone that filled me plumb full o' the spirit of action. When I came back, the Kid was pourin' a bucket o' water over the girl, an' Bill, with the tears rollin' down his cheeks, was feelin' over the body of the little bull-pup.
She had now what would amount to about three city blocks to traverse still. There was a short way from outside the garden-hedge through to the garden, which cut off about a half-block. If she could gain this she would be safe. "Naw, yeh don't," snarled the tramp, as she fled on. "Ye'll set that bull-pup o' yours on me. I been there, an' come away again.
I won't have your low-down street slang in my office. So you're the great bull, eh? you bull-pup! you bull in a china shop! The great bull-calf, you mean. Where'd you get the money for all this cussedness? Where'd you get the money? Tell me that. Spit it out quick I say." "Well, I've got a million dollars," Percy dribbled out. "Had a million dollars, and it was my good money," the old man moaned.
When Ole got out of the creek we whistled him dexterously into a barnyard and right into the maw of a brindle bull-pup with a capacity of one small man in two bites we being safe on the other side of the fence, beyond the reach of the chain. Maybe that was mean, but Eta Bita Pie is not to be trifled with when she is aroused. Anyway, the bull got the worst of it. He only got one bite.
When he had finished his yarn of sheer nonsense, Captain Pott slowly laid his pipe on the table and his hand on the little man's collar. He led him to the door, and opened it. Harry tugged like a bull-pup on the end of a leash, so that when the Captain released his hold with ever so slight a shove Mr. Beaver described a spread-eagle on the cinder path.
I took it to be a bull-pup of about nine months old, and a fine specimen for its age. "My child!" he shrieks, with his eyes starting out of his head, "That thing isn't my child. What's happened? Am I going mad?" "You're on that way," I says, and so he was. "Calm yourself," I says; "what did you expect to see?" "My child," he shrieks again; "my only child my baby!" "Do you mean a real child?"
The bride his mother had left him as a parting legacy had gone out to order a string of blue beads, a bull-pup, a house, a motor, a banjo, and a rose-garden; as she went she added a talking machine to the list; and he was to be planted in the very centre of everything. "Seems like a nice girl, Wallis," said Allan dreamily. "Yes, Mr. Allan," he conceded.
Little tells me that when he came to the big scene in 'Only a Factory Girl, his uncle gulped like a stricken bull-pup." "Indeed, sir?" "Where Lord Claude takes the girl in his arms, you know, and says " "I am familiar with the passage, sir. It is distinctly moving. It was a great favourite of my aunt's." "I think we're on the right track." "It would seem so, sir."
But there was another way which hadn't occurred to me. Marriage, I mean. Marriage, the dynamite of the soul; that was what hit Bobbie. He married. Have you ever seen a bull-pup chasing a bee? The pup sees the bee. It looks good to him. But he still doesn't know what's at the end of it till he gets there. It was like that with Bobbie.
