"One of the most sensible men in this village is a plain, tall, elderly person, who is overseeing the mending of a road, humorous, intelligent, with much thought about matters and things; and while at work he had a sort of dignity in handling the hoe or crow-bar, which shows him to be the chief.
"Hurry up," Westy said, "let's find the key-bar and we'll open it for him, we can do it all right." So we looked all around in a hurry, but we couldn't find it anywhere. The key-bar is what you open the bridge with, you know. It's kind of like a crow-bar and you stick it in a certain place and walk around pushing it.
"He's going to smash the new speculum out of spite for the thrashing he got," muttered Tom; and nerved now by his indignant excitement, he let himself down from the window, and began to cross the garden without a sound, thinking as he went of the position. "He couldn't get in at the door," he said, "without a strong crow-bar, and the windows are now all strongly fastened.
It came into my mind while I was thinking about this farmer's mistake in the use of his lever, that certain people myself included, perhaps might profit by this blunder. A great many, for instance, use the lever of truth a very good crow-bar, the best to be had in overturning moral evils. But they do not accomplish anything, because they take hold of the wrong end of the lever.
You couldn't be pried loose from that coin with a crow-bar!" He turned from her, baffled, for it was apparent from the expression of mirth deep in her eyes that his attack had made no impression on her. Calumet went to the stable and threw a bridle on Blackleg. While he was placing the saddle on the animal he hesitated and stood regarding it with indecision.

At any rate, their lyddites, melanites, cordites, dynamites, powders, jellies, oils, marls, and civilised barbarisms and obiahs, came in very well for their own destruction: for by two o'clock I had so worked, that I had on the first cart the phalanx of fuses; on the second a goodly number of kegs, cartridge-cases and cartridge-boxes, full of powder, explosive cottons and gelatines, and liquid nitro-glycerine, and earthy dynamite, with some bombs, two reels of cordite, two pieces of tarred cloth, a small iron ladle, a shovel, and a crow-bar; the cab came next, containing a considerable quantity of loose coal; and lastly, in the private carriage lay four big cans of common oil.
His soul was filled with passionate rage approaching to despair, and as with rolling eyes he glanced round his prison an iron crow-bar leaning against the wall met his gaze; it had been used by the workmen to lift the sarcophagus of the last deceased Apis into its right place.
Shanty did not return, till he had investigated every hole and corner of his domain, with the crow-bar in one hand, and the lanthorn in the other. The baby had ceased to cry, when brought into the shed, and feeling itself in the arms of a fellow-creature, had yielded to the influence of the liquor, and had fallen again into a dead sleep, dropping back on the bosom of Mr. Dymock.
"I told you two weeks ago what you might expect if you insisted on sticking your crow-bar in among the wheels this fall, McVickar, but you wouldn't believe me. I'll say it again if you want to hear it." "And I told you two weeks ago that we couldn't stand for any such programme as the one you had mapped out.
