Muscular bronze arms coiled crushingly about the frail white body, and in a moment the unfortunate slave stood powerless, his wrists pinioned behind him in a leathern thong. Breathing hard, his face mottled, Bishop pondered him a moment. Then: "Fetch him along," he said.
"He said he'd look after you," added Bob, making things worse. Look after him! Him!! M. Jackson, of the third eleven!!! Mike helped himself to another chunk of cake, and spoke crushingly. "He needn't trouble," he said. "I can look after myself all right, thanks." Bob saw an opening for the entry of the Heavy Elder Brother. "Look here, Mike," he said, "I'm only saying it for your good "
No swearer ever curses like the priest who veils his personal spites in official and pious denunciations, and Mrs. Anderson had never dealt out abuse so roundly and terribly and crushingly, as she did under the guise of praying for the salvation of Julia's soul from well-deserved perdition. But Abigail did not say perdition. She left that to weak spirits.
"Barbara," said Senator Hanway, on the morning of that day when Richard meddled so crushingly with Storri's hand, "Barbara, there is a matter in which you might please me very much." Mrs. Hanway-Harley looked across the table at her brother, for the four were at breakfast. "I promise in advance," said she. "There is a gentleman," went on Senator Hanway, "I met him for a moment a Mr. Gwynn.
As a set-off to this surrender of all questions of foreign policy and many internal rights, what did these rulers receive?

"This isn't Blue Fire," he says. "Blue Fire's out walking about. This is a two-year-old filly that's in the stall " "Well, I can see that, can't I," says the Oracle, crushingly.
She went wearily up to William's bedroom. William was sitting on the floor. Open beside him was "Things a Boy Can Do." Around him lay various parts of the mincing machine. His face was set and strained in mental and physical effort. He looked up as she entered. "It's a funny kind of mincing machine," he said, crushingly. "It's not got enough parts. It's made wrong "
The chief had been conquered, absolutely, crushingly and to the last degree humiliatingly; for, most amazing thing of all, his conqueror had refused to take his life, knowing that it would have been the other way had the Shawanoe suffered defeat. And he who showed this unheard-of mercy professed to be a Christian! What a strange religion to make a warrior act in that manner!
The letters make a jump from 1822 to 1827, during which interval he had established, with borrowed capital, a printing house, and seen his enterprise completely fail. This failure saddled him with a mountain of debt which pressed upon him crushingly for years, and of which he rid himself only toward the close of his life.
The two companies in the line were attacked four times by superior numbers, the last assault being delivered by more than five hundred men, but the defenders stood like rocks, and though they had fifty per cent, of their number killed or wounded, and the Turks got close to the trenches, the enemy were crushingly defeated.
