"In that case you shouldn't write memorandums or even take notes." "Maybe I shouldn't," Gusterson agreed lamely. "I'd have to think that over too." "Ha!" Fay jeered. "No, I'll tell you what your trouble is, Gussy. You're simply scared of this contraption.
"Now we're prepared for a siege, with the grub at hand," cried Bluff, dancing around with his gun held on high. "Say, be careful with that contraption, will you? If ever it started going off not one of us would live to tell the ghastly tale," called Will, as if really and truly alarmed, which, of course, he was not.
"That's rather strange!" commented Bruce. "But what was this steel contraption for, do you know? Was it a patent sight or something?" "Jay doesn't know," answered the girl. "Would you mind if I spoke to Jay myself?" asked the young man. In reply the girl touched the bell beside the fireplace. Bude answered the summons and was despatched to find Jay.
I got a little idea while I was alookin' the ground over, and reckoned I could fix it up so there'd be a heap right good chance that a feller creeping around here o' a night would step into the contraption. I'll show yuh how I 'ranged it." With that he led the way along a plain trail that seemed to be the easiest route up to the enclosure.
There is one thing about women. It would never have occurred to the women of this country as it has to the men to get up a contraption for doing a thing nationally that they could not even do at home.
I've told him he can't borrow no money from me on no such contraption, and so has Billy Dodd." Garrison mentally noted down the fact that Scott was in need of money. "What can you tell me of the man's appearance?" he added, after a moment of silence. "Did his face present any signs of agony?" "Nope. Just looked dead," said the coroner. "Were there any signs upon him of any nature?"
"Yo' means dat red star what shines in de sky?" "That's the one, Washington." "An' how far did yo' say it was from heah?" was the question directed at Mr. Henderson. "Well, it's about thirty-five millions of miles from the earth." "And is yo' all goin'?" "Yes, we expect to." "Is dis heah contraption yo' done been buildin'?" "Yes." "And is I gwine, too, perfesser?"
These, however, she quickly caught up and fastened over the back and their metallic clicking ceased to annoy him. The buckling was a little strenuous. Hitherto a surcingle had served to hold the blanket upon his back, but this contraption had TWO surcingles and a stiff leather strap to boot, which Peggy's strong hands pulled tighter than any straps had ever before been pulled around him.
"I wonder if yer boys can give me a lift back if yer goin' near Topsail Island?" "Surest thing you know," rejoined Rob hastily. "Come right aboard. But how are you going to get off your island again if your motor is laid up here to be fixed?" "Oh, I'll use my rowboat," responded the old mariner, clambering down into the Flying Fish. "Say, this is quite a right smart contraption, ain't she?"
That sideways contraption you sent fer 'fore yer gal got to ridin' man-ways is the only one in Wolf River, an' likewise hern's the only horse that'll stand fer bein' rigged up in it." "Sure. You're welcome to the horse an' saddle, Jack. The outfit's in the livery barn. Jest tell Ross to have him saddled agin' you want him. He's gentled down so's a woman c'n handle him all right." "Uh, huh.
