Brown would not have gained at all, but for the fact that the horse, from long habit, kept to the roadway and never tried short cuts. His pursuer did, and, therefore, just as Joshua entered the grove on the bluff above Pounddug Slough, Brown caught up with him and made a grab at the end of the trailing halter. He missed it, and the horse took a fresh start.
Ippolit was thinking of him, I know he was. He was talking about that last week.” “Not an easy job.” “Not an easy job? Why not?” “Why, we’d shut up Kronstadt and not let them have any corn. Where would they get it?” “In America. They get it from America now.” “Nonsense!” But the bell rang, all rushed to their places. Fetyukovitch mounted the tribune. An Argument That Cuts Both Ways
I had to sharpen my knife and press and push and at last get a pair of scissors to cut out the sliver. It was just like cutting tough leather. But even if we do sometimes get cuts and burns and bruises, yet our skin coat protects us far more than we really think. It keeps out all sorts of poisons and the germs of blood-poisoning and such diseases.
When an editor discharges a member of his force for any good and sufficient reason and surely a man must be permitted to manage and control his own business no paper will publish a two-column article, with appropriate cuts, detailing the wrongs of the discharged journalist, and the hideous crime of the editor!
There were no bickerings among the hunters, no anger of man against man in the fierce voices that emphasized the slashing cuts of the caribou-whips. If the fangs of a Hudson's Bay husky let out the life- blood from the soft throat of a Mackenzie hound, it was a matter of the dogs, and not of their owners. They did not quarrel.
The lung shrinks, the sides of the abscess come together, and by slow degrees a dense material cuts it off from the adjacent healthy structure, but the most complete recovery leaves the patient with his breathing power lessened, and with his vigour consequently more or less impaired. When the deposit is less considerable, a different change takes place.
I thought it was fancy, but still I dragged on as fast as I could my weary steps. The noise increased it was that of a waterfall I was certain of it. I tried to hurry on my feet, and scarcely felt the pricks and cuts they were receiving. I caught sight of the glittering spray through an opening in the woods. I fancied that I felt the coolness of the air passing over it. On I went.
"You will let me give you twenty-five cuts with a whip, and I will be yours after the twenty-fifth blow." "Are you in earnest?" "Fully." The man from the Ghetto took her hand, and pressed it ardently to his lips. "When may I come?" "To-morrow evening at eight o'clock." "And I may bring the sable cloak and the whip with me?" "No, I will see about that myself."
"I said or meant to say that there was no visible trace of early native inhabitants or white settlers," Kiddie corrected. "Well, that's good enough," resumed Rube. "I guess I've got you, anyway. Look deep down thar, an' you'll see the trunk of a tree. It ain't got 'ny branches on it. I b'lieve I c'n even make out the cuts of an axe on the end of it.
I stood on the shore whilst the nets and fishing tackle were put on board, then he said in a low voice, 'It's a comfort to feel you will be near my poor lass to-night, sir. It cuts me to the heart to leave her; if anything happens to little John, whatever would me and my missus do!
