Both Emory and Wright took up the fight as ordered, and as they did so I sent word to Wilson, in the hope that he could partly perform the work originally laid out for Crook, to push along the Senseny road and, if possible, gain the valley pike south of Winchester.
"There she goes!" he croaked in his protesting voice. "Might just as well be on the crook straight, I might, for all the credit I gets." Mrs. Woodburn kissed him and the girl, and ran a practised eye and hand down Goosey Gander's fore-legs. His wife might be a Puritan, but Mat was the first to admit that there was little about a horse he could teach her.
Why, he was the very man who had given him his first pointers in the game, when he was cleaning up all the rest of the boys in town, just by way of recreation. If I'd never had a suspicion before I'd have known just from those slick sentences of his that Conway had never been anything in that village but a small-sized edition of the full-blown crook he is today.
It showed a stretch of country, apparently a broad valley running east to a seashore. Through it twined a river and on both sides were hills dotted with trees. The centre seemed to be meadows, sown with villages and gardens. In one crook of the stream lay a little coppice on which many roads converged, and above it was written the words "Sylva Vitae." "It is the finger of God," said Battista.
He is not only a crook, Abe, but a liar also." "Four dollars wouldn't break us, Mawruss," Abe rejoined, "and we could easy make it up on the next bill he buys from us. But I wasn't talking about Sam Green at all. I mean Max Kirschner." "I much bother my head about Kirschner!" Morris said. "Let Klinger & Klein worry about him." Abe grunted as he removed his hat and coat.
"Well, I'll tell you. It's like this." "Stigun!" Aaron hissed. "Don't open your mouth, Uncle Mosha." "What d'ye mean, don't open my mouth?" Uncle Mosha retorted. "D'ye think I'm a crook? If I got a house which it don't belong to me at all, then I don't want it." He turned his back on Aaron and straightway he narrated the full circumstances surrounding his purchase of the Madison Street house.
Blue-prints and photographs of scout maps, made by their predecessors of the th Cavalry in the days of the Crook campaigns, were scattered with the order files about the table. But of pictures, ornamentation, or relief of any kind the gloomy box was destitute as the dun-colored flat of the parade.
Here I joined Crook, informing him that I had just got word that Torbert was driving the enemy in confusion along the Martinsburg pike toward Winchester; at the same time I directed him to attack the moment all of Duval's men were in line. Wright was instructed to advance in concert with Crook, by swinging Emory and the right of the Sixth Corps to the left together in a half-wheel.
A hazel bough with a good crook is then sought by the men that are thinking of the wheat harvest: they trim it for a 'vagging' stick, with which to pull the straw towards them. True reaping is now never seen: 'vagging' makes the short stubble that forces the partridges into the turnips. Maple boughs, whose bark is so strongly ribbed, are also good for 'vagging' sticks.
Jack Holloway was on his feet, a Fuzzy cradled in the crook of his left arm, his white mustache bristling truculently. "I am not a dead man, your Honors, and I am on trial here. The reason I'm not dead is why I am on trial. My defense is that I shot Kurt Borch while he was aiding and abetting in the killing of a Fuzzy. I want it established in this court that it is murder to kill a Fuzzy."
