"'Foh Gawd's sake, mistah, doan shoot! he yells. 'Dat white mahn's been tellin' a passel ob lies about me until ah's sartain suah somefing gwine fer to git me. Ah can eat an' talk like any one, an' mos' ebery one knows me about yeah wen ah ain't got dese yeah contraptions on. "'Shut up, you blame fool! says Merritt. 'He won't shoot you.
"Why, it will be an awful piece of work to pack off all those contraptions, and it strikes me it is pretty hard on the missionaries. There's a gravel pit down back of the Bolton place, and if you buy it " "What?" "Well, bury the fair there." Lydia stopped short, and laughed till she cried. "You don't suppose they would ever find out?" "Trust me.
I'd go mesilf, for I'm a good, fair cook, but I can't be afther makin' them fiddly-faddly contraptions Miss Galbraith has." "Well, Susan, if we can find a cook, will you come as helper? Just for a few days, till Miss Galbraith can get some people down from New York." "Yes, Miss Patty; I'll do that. Now, I'm bethinkin' me, there's the Cartwrights' cook.
What does that mean?" "Just what it says! It's a big bazaar, of course, and we're going to call it Vanity Fair and sell only gay, dainty, dinky little contraptions, and have all sorts of pretty booths and fancy dances and flower stands, and oh, everything that Vanity Fair suggests." "Fine!" approved Elise. "Great name! Who thought of it? You, Betty? I'm for it, heart and soul!

I doubt if the muffler of an auto would cut down the sound of an aero engine to any appreciable extent. But, of course, I'll try along those lines." "They have mufflers or silencers for guns and rifles," went on Ned. "Couldn't you make a big one of those contraptions and put it on an aeroplane?" "I doubt it," said Tom, shaking his head.
I had not made any contraptions for that purpose, having not thought about it in the hurry to leave my prison. I decided to use a traditional circling approach, in the same way scavenging birds descend on their prey. When I was a mile or so inland, I began to circle about in wide spirals, narrowing them as I drew closer to the ground.
Trimmins, and then waved a gloved hand to the rest of the family as she settled herself behind the steering wheel. The elder got into the seat beside her. "I declare for't, Janice!" the elder said, as the started, the words being fairly jerked ouf of his mouth, "I dunno but I'd like to own one of these contraptions myself. You can git around lively in 'em and that's a fac'."
They salute again and disappear with another gigantic leap. The ability to do this kind of a thing is fundamental in the destinies of the art. Yet this resource is neglected because its special province is not understood. "People do not like to be tricked," the manager says. Certainly they become tired of mere contraptions. But they never grow weary of imagination.
