Lefty Joe, like a pirate in a tale, took this weapon between his teeth; allowed his squat, heavy bulk to swing down and dangle at arm's length for an instant, and then he swung himself a little and landed softly on the floor of the car. Who has not heard snow drop from the branch upon other snow beneath? That was the way Lefty Joe dropped to the floor of the car.
I bent now and kissed it. "Harry," said she in a whisper, "don't you care for me any more?" "Go back to the camp, Helena," said I; "you know I do, but I've done enough for you, and I'll do no more. All a coward can do to keep you safe I have done, but I'm no such coward as to follow you around now and dangle at your apron strings. It's good-by once more.
"After all," she said, "what more is there than this? Earth and sea and sky and sun, and a friend to show them to. . . . Because, as I wrote you, the friend is quite necessary in the scheme of things to round out the symmetry of it all. . . . I suppose you're dying to dangle those flies in Brier Water to see whether there are any trout there.
Lucy hung her head. "Oh uncle, you call me simple and look at you! fancy not seeing why I agreed to go dans cette galere. It was that Mr. Talboys might declare himself, and so I might get rid of him forever. I saw that if I could not bring him to the point, he would dangle about me for years, and perhaps, at last, succeed in irritating me to rudeness.
He took the camera case apart and disconnected his circuits, then he went outside again with tools in hand and got into the Sky Wagon. The plane had a heater switch that would do. He removed it, leaving the wires to dangle for the moment. If the heater was needed he could put the wires together. That done, he sat in the plane and racked his memory for a source of sheet rubber.
I'm getting 'em so bad that when I hear some folks talk bughouse these days it pretty near listens like good sense to me. Why, kid, I'm nut enough now to dangle over the edge of believing you know what you're talking about!" "Fall over: I know I know what I'm talking about," said Laurence magnificently.
The young man had a gossiping mind, but he forbore to say what he thought, which was to the effect that why under the heavens, if that woman cared as much as that for that man, she had not married him, instead of letting him dangle after her so many years?
The heavy big boots were placed so prettily before the chair, and the strings of each were made to dangle down at the sides, as though just ready for tying! They seemed to say, the boots did, "Now, make haste. We at any rate are ready you cannot say that you were kept waiting for us." No mere servant's hand had ever enabled a pair of boots to laugh at one so completely. But what was I to do?
Despite the heartiness of the sentiment, my honest tourist's enthusiasm seemed largely histrionic, and his quaffing of the beaker too reminiscent of drain-the-wine-cup-free in the second row of the chorus, for he absently allowed it to dangle from his hand before raising it to his lips.
The string on which you play us is as long as life; it ties your baby-bib; it laces your queenly bodice; and on its slenderest tag we dangle everywhere! I am a bachelor uncle. That, as a mere fact, might happen to anybody; but I am a bachelor uncle by internal fitness.
