The crusaders everywhere gave him presents of food and money, and he became quite fat ere he arrived at Jerusalem, notwithstanding the fatigues of the way. If he had acknowledged in the first place that he had made the wound himself, he would not have been thought more holy than his fellows; but the story of the angel was a clincher.
"She can't know of any, for there ain't any," was the clincher of the rustler; "or, if there is, she can't get it here in time to do Asbury and the rest any good." Cadmus was relieved by the words of his friend.
The fourth bar re-states the clincher, but at a lower pitch, as by one who is quite satisfied that he has convinced his adversary. Handel and the Wetterhorn When last I saw the Wetterhorn I caught myself involuntarily humming: The big shoulder of the Wetterhorn seemed to fall just like the run on "shoulder." "Tyrants now no more shall Dread"
The safeguards are definite, and would seem to be sufficiently strenuous to Mr. Sam Jones, at any rate. Not for Mrs. Eddy. She adds this clincher: "The candidates be elected by a majority vote of the First Members present." That is the aristocracy, the aborigines, the Sanhedrin. It is Mrs. Eddy's property. She herself is the Sanhedrin. No one can get into the Church if she wishes to keep him out.
He worked away with the coarse file, until he could scarcely hear the sledge-hammer for its shrieking. At the anvil stood a man making clincher nails, while one of the apprentices pulled the bellows and occasionally gathered the nails together. They were talking and laughing, and now and again some loud exclamation penetrated to Nikolai.
The hum of the cicadas was still, and dozens of rabbits, tempted out by the cool of the twilight, scuttled across my path and hid in the ferns. I wished the harness had not broken, as I feared it would put a clincher on my being allowed out driving alone in future. Joe Slocombe, the man who acted as groom and rouseabout, was waiting for me at the entrance gate.
Granny wanted him to have another little dog in place of Puck; however, he couldn't make up his mind to a substitute to supersede the former animal's hold on his affections. Besides this, Uncle Jack said the captain did not allow anybody to have dogs on board, and that was a clincher to the argument at once. Monday morning came, and with it another railway journey.
Indeed, many a question of grave church polity had been settled only after it had been submitted to and passed upon in meeting by Jack. "Is not that so, Jack?" was a favorite clincher to arguments which, it was felt, had won over his master. And Jack's groping paw cemented a treaty of good-will and mutual concession that had helped the village church over more than one hard place.
"Are your priests also in charge of the health of your people?" he growled. "Are their cures obtained from mumbo-jumbo and a few herbs found in the desert? Within a decade, I'll guarantee you that not one of your major diseases will remain." He turned to the priest and said, "Or perhaps this will be the clincher for some of you. How many years do you have, old man?"
"That's a clincher," said the farmer. "You've coot the ground from under me, neighbour, and I wean't grudge the money any more." "I wish father wouldn't say coot and wean't!" whispered Tom, whose school teaching made some of the homely expressions and bits of dialect of the fen-land jar. "Why not?
