The Colonel shaded his face with his hand. The heat from the fire was intense. "Why have you kept back this knowledge?" he asked. "Because it was a woman, and I am a fool!" Wrayson answered. There was a silence. Then the Colonel pushed back his chair and dabbed his forehead with his handkerchief. The room was certainly hot, and the handkerchief was wet. "Tell me about it," he said quietly.
Then he raged and swore, said he was being mocked at, dabbed his hat on his head, and made a pretence of gathering up his samples and rushing off. The mayor watched the scene with a quiet smirk on his face: he knew that he would somehow get the trousers. I have no doubt that he did have them, but I walked out instead of waiting to see the end of the battle.
I did my best for him physically and mentally, pointing out, as I dabbed the arnica on his sadly disfigured countenance, that he had brought the trouble on himself, seeing that he had really no business to poison Pharaoh because he had tried to bite him.
A businesslike doctor dabbed two ugly cuts in his head with iodine and deftly encircled his brow with a bandage. A navigating lieutenant passed him a whisky-and-soda. "If you speak English, my gentle lad," said the commander, "honor us with your rank, title, and official number." "Von Mahl," snapped the young man, "Royal Prussian Lieutenant of the Guard."
For the outside a slightly different treatment will be preferable, that is, a portion of glass-paper of the finest grain placed as before in front of a block of wood. There is no necessity for it being a very close fit so long as it is even in surface.

They dabbed banana pulp on our heads and made away unperceived. Nevertheless it was like coming out of slime on to rock we were worried but not soiled. This school had one great advantage for me. No one there cherished the forlorn hope that boys of our sort could make any advance in learning.
They were certainly whizzing them through. Sabre came last to the officer with the stethoscope. He was just polishing off the undersized little man with the truss. "Take that thing off. Cough. How long have you had this? Go along." He turned to Sabre, dabbed perfunctorily at his lungs, then at his heart. "Wait a minute." He applied his ear to the stethoscope again.
That baffled, MULISH look priggish solemn! Oh! it's strange the stuff a poor woman has to bring into the world. But you'll do nothing. I know you'll do nothing. You'll stand everything. You you Cuckold! And she'll drive by me, she'll pass me in theatres with the money that ought to have been mine! Oh! Oh!" She dabbed her handkerchief from one swimming eye to the other. But she went on talking.
All the buildings were of the earliest style of architecture, and were made of tea-tree and sods, or of reeds dabbed together with mud. The hotels had no signboards, but it was easy to find them by the heaps of bottles outside. Kangaroo flesh was 1s. 6d. a pound, but grog was cheap. Davy was looking for a shipmate named Richard Ralph, who was then the principal architect and builder in the city.
Why throw it away to get me out of a place in which I shall only be for a few weeks longer? Another thing another thing " She dragged a ridiculous handkerchief from her sleeve; dabbed her brimming eyes. "Another thing I'm afraid to risk it. I'm afraid to be alone and looking for a place again. There now you know. I'm a coward."
