When he made this discovery he dabbed his hand again into the pitch-pot, exclaiming, "In for a penny, in for a pound." And he endeavoured to secure as large a handful of the slippery and sticky stuff as he could, and this done he set off to come up with the big countryman who had done him so much indignity and made his stomach uncomfortable.

While they drank draughts and dabbed jam on an Egyptian conception of scones, I hurried like a haggard ghost from tent to tent, seeking the forbidden thing. Cook on the backs of the little mirrors hanging from the pole hooks!... Will it wash off?... No! Cut it out with a penknife! Down on your knees and tear off the label from the wrong side of another carpet!

She dabbed at her eyes with a handful of wet grass, passed her sleeve across them once or twice, and began to talk. "I ... I'm very silly, Frankie," she said, "but I can't help it. I'm better now. Don't tell George." "Of course I shan't!" said Frank indignantly. "You're a gentleman too," said Gertie. And I don't know however I came to tell you. But there it is, and no harm's done."

Hart's nephew was the only one around the place who hung back a little, but he got there all right being fished out of an empty flour-barrel, where he'd hid under the counter in his uncle's store, and brought along by the invitation committee sent to look for him all dabbed over with flour.

It's come to them recent just what a bad lot Lang is. It's hell what a whisper can do." "It is when that whisper is backed by a thousand-dollar reward," Carson agreed. "If he really pays up it'll wreck Lang's little snap for sure." Brill dabbed his cloth at an imaginary spot on the polished slab and nodded without comment.

I've always said that it's women folks that prop a family and it will soon tumble without 'em. I am so glad you've come, honeybunch, that tears are laughing themselves out of the corner of my eyes." This time the white kerchief was dabbed over the keen blue eyes. "Is it all very very bad, Mrs. I mean, Aunt Mary?"

Her voice trembled a little and she turned away. "Mary," said the young man hoarsely, "for God's sake, don't do that!" He moved a step towards her, but she drew back. "It's all right," she said with the tears glistening wet on her face, and dabbed at her eyes with her tiny handkerchief, "but, oh, Robin boy, why couldn't you have held your tongue?"

Timid eyes looked out at Joan from behind pince-nez set rather crookedly on a thin nose. One side of her face, from eye to chin, was disfigured by an unsightly bruise. Miss Bacon dabbed a handkerchief to it continually and started explaining its presence at once.

Then using the tube itself he sealed the opening he had made and dabbed a little black over it. Quickly he shoved the safe back, then around it concealed several small coils with wires also concealed and leading out through a window to a court. "We'll catch the fellow this time," he remarked as he worked.

Men as weak as rats had to sit up in bed, or crawl out of it, and shave themselves. "You're merciless!" I said, laughing painfully when the day nurse dabbed my back with cold iodine at six o'clock on a winter morning, with the windows wide open. "Oh, there's no mercy in this place!" said the strong-minded girl. "It's kill or cure here, and no time to worry."
