"No, but we discovered a turtle, which is just as good," replied Mark. The professor agreed with him, and called for Washington to come and get the eggs. "Wall I 'clare to goodness!" exclaimed the colored man as he gathered the product of the turtle up in his cook's apron. "Dis suttinly am a queer contraption of a country to find eggs growin' in de sand."
"I'd go with you myself," she declared brightly, "if the misery in my back wasn't a little mite onery this mornin'. Racketing about in that contraption o' yours, I reckon, wouldn't be the best kind of liniment for cricks like mine." So only Mr. Gordon, Betty and Bob started for the fields.
But in the raw enthusiasm of entering new quarters we had made up our minds that afternoon to try out our new camp kitchen a contraption of wood and iron we had built with the aid of the mission carpenter. And the walk to the hotel would have been a long one, through Tarsus mud in the dark, with prowling dogs to take account of.
He pressed a button to the right, and the back of the chair went down and the part that hung down in front came up, making what looked like a narrow cot. "That's not half of it," said Mr. Bullfinch, punching another button. Jerry gasped as the right arm of the chair swung over and began to rub Mr. Bullfinch's stomach while the whole contraption jerked up and down.
That Black Hoof is a devil for thinkin' up tricks." I fired at the green mass. Cousin rebuked me, saying: "Don't waste lead. There's three braves with long poles to keep the contraption from fallin' backward. They're on their feet, but keepin' low as possible. There's t'others pushin' the bottom along. There's t'others huggin' the ground.
It looked like a fearfully complicated thing to handle and Roote was a small man, but that net went flying out as though tossed by a giant. "You're a jim-dandy with the twine, all right," said the seine-master admiringly. He turned to the rowers, "Put your backs into it, boys," he said; "drive her for all you know how. We've got to give this new contraption a fair chance."
From Hannah: "I don't know what's the matter with children's teeth nowadays. My children's teeth never had to have all this contraption on them. You got your teeth and that was the end of it." "Perhaps if they'd paid proper attention to them," Marcia would reply, "there wouldn't be so many people going about with disfigured jaws now." Then there were the dancing lessons.
A helmet in brush is the next noisiest thing to a circus band, so it is always well to have, also, a double terai. This is not something to eat. It is a wide felt hat, and then another wide felt hat on top of that. It is not, however, a good contraption to go in all day when the sun is strong. As underwear you want the lightest Jaeger wool. Doesn't sound well for tropics, but it is an essential.
They were delighted at the chance, Will lugging his camera along, though the old trapper cast a dubious eye on the affair, as if he did not wholly like the idea of visiting his traps with such a "contraption," something unheard of in his experience. "Now, don't even whisper, fellers. Here's the swamp and my traps begins clost by. I'll show ye all about it by signs.
And better still, through the law of Prairial 22, its meshes are reduced in size and its width increased; with such admirable contraption, the fishpond could not fail to be exhausted. A little before the 9th of Thermidor, David, who was one of Robespierre's devoted adherents, himself exclaimed: "Will twenty of us be left on the Mountain?"
