I'll be home at six-forty-six." "Good-by, Albert," she said into the crotch of her elbow. He kissed her again on the ear lobe and the nape of her neck. "Good-by, Lilly, and if I were you I'd have a little talk with mother if I found myself not feeling just right. I'm sending Joe up with a pair of granite scrub buckets and that stopper for the bathtub. All right?" "Yes."
The nest to which the triumphant king-bird hurried back was audaciously perched in plain view of every prowler. The crotch of the elm-tree which it occupied was about twelve feet from the ground. The intervale, or water-meadow, by the side of the river, held but a few widely scattered trees, trees of open growth, such as elm, balsam-poplar, and water-ash. It was free from all underbrush.
"Because I should like it to be mine for you. I should like to link my golden West with the thought of you." "And you won't now, because it was somebody else's name for me?" Kemp, before he went away, had made her comfortable with cushions in a chair-like crotch of the old tree. The Major was at her feet. He meditated a moment. "I shall make it my name for you.
Then he climbed a wide-branching oak and propped himself in a crotch from which he could see the open water and the two vessels at anchor. Clumps of taller trees cut off any view of the beach and the camp but he dared stray no farther from the pirogue. Tediously an hour passed and there was no sign of Joe Hawkridge.
Perceiving this, the carcajou turned her back upon them, climbed farther up the tree to a comfortable crotch, and settled herself indifferently for a nap. For all her voracious appetite, she knew she could go hungry longer than any wolf, and quite wear out the pack in a waiting game.
Taug was sleeping in a nearby crotch. Tarzan swung over beside him. "Taug!" he cried. Instantly the great bull was awake and bristling, sensing danger from the nocturnal summons. "Look, Taug!" exclaimed Tarzan, pointing toward the stars. "See the eyes of Numa and Sabor, of Sheeta and Dango. They wait around Goro to leap in upon him for their kill. See the eyes and the nose and the mouth of Goro.
These ribs are scraped against the posterior margins of the elytra, a small portion of which projects beyond the general outline. I am greatly indebted to Mr. G.R. Crotch for having sent me many prepared specimens of various beetles belonging to these three families and to others, as well as for valuable information.
The boy backed away with awkward alacrity, but still keeping his hold on the salmon-twine. Consequently, by the time he had nearly reached the end of the limb, the still sputtering fire-ball emerged from the hole in the crotch. At the sound of it behind them the young raccoons turned in terror, and straightway dropped from the tree; but the old mother, undaunted, darted savagely upon her foe.
The sun was sliding down the heavens to a crotch in the hills before he joined her again. She was in front of the house clipping her roses. "Is the invalid better?" she asked him. "He's a false alarm. But he did have a mighty thumping headache that has gone now." "I've been wondering why you didn't meet Lieutenant O'Connor. He must have taken the road you came in on." The young man's eyes lit.
"He's climbed up inside," declared Nuck. "I warrant that tree's holler up to the first crotch." "What'll we do?" demanded Bryce. "You shot that one, Nuck. Now I wanter git the other, before we go home." "We'll smoke him out," declared the elder brother. "You stay right here and watch, and I'll get some wood." Nuck had brought a tomahawk which, with his skinning knife, was thrust into his belt.
