We put hair ropes around but them rattlers liked to squirm over hair ropes for exercise. One morning I woke up and there was a crawler on my chest. 'For God's sake, Pete! says I to Antelope Pete, who was rolled up next me, 'come take my friend away! and I didn't holler very loud, neither. Pete was chain lightning in pants, and he grabs Mr.
If there's a bit of wood to be chopped, she's got to do it, an' yet he'd think a decent honest workin' man, who was able to keep his wife and family comfortable, wasn't made of as good flesh and blood as him. That ain't what I call pride." "There's one thing, if I ever fell in love with a man he'd have to be a man and not a crawler," said Dawn.
Things were so different now from what they had been a year ago, and as I stood there looking up and down for a crawler, above the noise of the London thoroughfare, her own words to me in Paris rang with terrible distinctness, that prophecy wrung from her in the agony of her woman's longing "I shall never be your own." I almost believed it now.
As he was about to buzz for the next applicant, the door burst open and Roger came into the room. The blond-haired cadet's lips were pulled tight in a grim line. "There's something rocket-blasting screwy around here, Tom!" he exclaimed. "What do you mean?" asked Tom. "I just rejected a real low-down space crawler a guy named Tad Winters." "Yes?" Tom was alert, anticipating Roger's answer.
"No, he ain't me grandfather, thank goodness he's only me uncle; that's plenty for me." "Aren't you fond of him?" "I ain't dying of love for him, I promise you. Old Crawler! He reckons he's the boss, but sometimes I get home on him in a way that a sort of illustrates to his intelligence that he ain't. Ask Dawn. She's the one'll give you the straight tip regarding him." "Where is Dawn?"
Weeks activated the outer hatch and the crane lines plucked the small vehicle out of the Queen, swinging it dizzily down to the blast scored apron. "Make for the tower " Rip's voice was thin in the helmet coms. Dane at the controls of the crawler pulled on as Ali cast off the lines which anchored them to the spacer. Through the bubble helmet he could see the frenzied activity in the aroused port.
The Jack Tar just arrived from the bush or some up-country station with a cheque for a year's wages, bent on a spree, and standing drinks all round while his money lasted, the Scottish shepherd plying liquor and grasping hands for "Auld Lang Syne," the wretched debauched crawler, the villainous-looking "lag" from "t'other side," the bullock puncher, whose every alternate word was a profane oath, the stockrider, in his guernsey shirt and knee boots with stockwhip thrown over his shoulder, engaging the attention of those who would listen with some miraculous story of his exploits, mine host smilingly dealing out the fiery poison, with now and again the presence of the dripping forder from the river, come in for his glass of grog and pipe before resuming his perilous occupation.
If you don't feel inclined to be their abject slave they can even take your children from you, and what do you think of that? It shows we ain't got the vote none too soon, I reckon! I'm not sayin' that you'll get that kind of a crawler; some of them is good, a jolly sight better than some of the women, but the most, when you come to live with them, is as hard as nails.
The teleceiver screen glowed into life and Tom and Connel stared in horror as they recognized the images of three men. The one in the foreground smiled mockingly and said, "Remember me, Connel?" "Devers!" Connel roared. "And the other two behind him " stuttered Tom. "Cag and Monty!" "Why, you dirty space crawler," cried Connel, "I'll get you if it's the last thing I do!" "No, you won't, Major."
"Yes, do you think I stand any show? What sort of a boss is Baldy?" "You'd tramp from here to Adelaide," said Baldy, "and north to the Gulf country, and wouldn't find a worse. He's the meanest squatter in Australia. The damned old crawler!
