Katherine whirled around on her stubborn mount and unexpectedly gave his tail a smart pull. With a snort of indignant surprise Sandhelo threw out his legs and started forward. Katherine caught her balance from the shock of starting, clamped her knees into his sides and hung on grimly to the blanket that had been strapped around his middle to keep the balsam boughs from pricking him.
"That broke the molecular impact with the air like a ceramic nose cone. Kept it from burning up completely." The thing was a lady's silver compact, from which a large piece had been fused away. A bobbypin had gotten welded to it. Old Paul Hendricks cursed. Poor Two-and-Two moved off sickly, with a palm clamped over his mouth. Eileen Sands gasped, and seemed about to yell.
Jimmie Dale turned from the window, sat down again in his chair, and drew the letter from his pocket and, sitting there, the strong jaws clamped and locked, his face drawn in rigid lines, the dark, steady eyes cold and hard, read it again, as he had read it many times before since Jason had handed it to him that morning several days ago: "Dear Philanthropic Crook: I wonder if I am writing those words for the last time?
A flat brass plate pressed between his shoulders, and one of the carbon points, clamped in a little insulated stand, rested on his bosom and quivered with the quickened motion of the heart beneath it. The other point touched the dead man's breast. "Are you ready?" "Yes." The old man pressed a key, and as he did so a sharp sting, hardly worse than a leech's bite, pricked Ronald Wyde's breast.
'Feel, said Louis, placing his hand on his bosom, 'feel whether this is the beating of a heart shaken by fear. Ah, my friend, your heart would have clamped in misery to hear the Queen cry: 'What have I to fear? Death? it is as well to-day as to- morrow; they can do no more! Their lives were saved, the day passed, but worse came after. "The tenth of August came.
"I do, you darned ol' Piute," shouted Reeves joyously. "I never will forget how the sky pilot's coat-tails spread. You could 'a' played checkers on 'em. D'you reckon we'd ought to send a wreckin' crew after Melancthon T. Browning?" "Why, no. The way he was clamped to that Blue Streak's back you couldn't pry him loose with a crowbar." "Here he c-comes now," Blister announced.
The tentacles clamped their irresistible openings upon the body of the victim, pulling upon the line with such force that it broke, the octopus falling on the bottom with his prey. Freya clapped her hands in applause. "Bravo!..." She was exceedingly pale, though a feverish heat was coursing through her body.
At its end this lever carries a pen, which when at rest lies on the centre of the card platform. The bob, or weight, of a pendulum can be clamped at any point on its rod, so that the rate or "period" of swing may be adjusted or altered. The nearer the weight is brought to the point of suspension, the oftener will the pendulum swing to and fro in a given time usually taken as one minute.
All these things were interesting to me, although Southey was not, I think, a picturesque man, not one whose personal character takes a strong hold on the imagination. In these walks he used to wear a pair of shoes heavily clamped with iron; very ponderous they must have been, from the particularity with which the gardener mentioned them.
Just inside the opening it gathered itself together for a moment, and seemed to look so meaningly right up into his eyes that he found himself shrinking behind a rock lest it should see him.
