"Cooped up too much in that grocery store you need the open air of the country to stretch you out. Just look at your Uncle Joe there see what the country has done for him." "Oh, I'll grow all right, grandfather. I like the country and the open-air life, too, and father says I may take up farming work if I want to."
I live out there," said Izz abruptly, never having spoken since her avowal. Clare slowed the horse. He was incensed against his fate, bitterly disposed towards social ordinances; for they had cooped him up in a corner, out of which there was no legitimate pathway.
It seemed to me that I was close to my home, that I should soon come to the combe country, where the Gara runs down the valley to the sea, passing the slate quarry, so grey against the copse. The road was good enough, though I was not in good trim for walking, after so many days cooped up in the lugger. I stepped forward bravely along a lonely countryside till I saw before me the houses of a town.
A delightful sensation thrilled our hero, as he felt the pure air fanning his cheek. "Nobody can tell," thought he, "what a blessed thing freedom is till he has been cooped up, as I have been, for the last week. Won't the old man be a little surprised to find, in the morning, that the bird has flown? I've a great mind to serve him a little trick."
I can't help thinking that all that talk I heard in Berlin, all that restlessness and desire to hit out at somebody, anybody, the knock-him-down-and-rob him idea they seemed obsessed with, was simply because it was drawing near the holiday time of year, and every one was overworked and nervy after a year's being cooped up in offices; and then the great heat came and finished them.
"You'll have to stay quite a while," said Uncle William. The man nodded. "I mean to. I've wanted to come back ever since the day we sailed for France." "You was twelve year old that summer," said Uncle William. "Your folks come into property, didn't they, over there?" "Yes on my mother's side. We took her name. I was sick for months after we got there homesick, cooped up in rooms."
But after Sir Maurice had shouted three times that they came in peace-bearing terms, Erebus and Wiggins came out of one of the caves above them and heard the news. She made haste to bear it to the Terror and the princess who received it with joy. They had already been cooped up long enough in the secret caves and were eager to plunge once more into the strenuous life.
To leave it and move up-river would leave the way open for the red army to stream into Virginia and work its savagery while the colonials were cooped up on the Ohio or hunting Indian wigwams in the wilderness. In the package was a letter to our colonel from Colonel Adam Stephens, second in command to His Excellency, which was given wide publicity.
When did thy master hear of a Norman baron unbuckling his purse to relieve a churchman, whose bags are ten times as weighty as ours? And how can we do aught by valour to free him, that are cooped up here by ten times our number, and expect an assault every moment?" "And that was what I was about to tell you," said the monk, "had your hastiness allowed me time.
"I can't imagine it!" "It would come pretty hard!" Colonel Gresham shook his head musingly. "It is a shame that those women are not better treated! I'll take them to ride as often as I can you tell them so, Polly!" "I will!" Polly beamed her delight. "It's lovely of you! It will do them no end of good. They stay cooped up in the house too much.
