"It was the funniest thing, Bob, I ever saw in my life neither Ruth's ride on the cow the other day nor her experience with Jerry this morning could compare with the way that old Scotchman hopped around, waving his shovel in one hand, the turtle dangling from his nose, and swearing like a pirate."
They drove home with the boots standing side by side on the seat in front of them. Mr. Jobson got out first and knocked at the door, and as soon as it opened Mrs. Jobson pattered across the intervening space with the boots dangling from her hand. She had nearly reached the door when Mr.
The great, red, double-eagle, so long familiar to him as dangling from the documents that were forever in the hands of his father: where was it? Besides, the whole thing was unofficial. There was neither heading nor arms. It was a hoax a trick possibly of Laroche, or Ostrovsky, or some other of that formal, jealous lot.
He had prayed that he might have strength to support the girl-widow in this interview; and he found himself suddenly giving way before her, sobbing like a child; while Elinor looked on tearlessly from afar, dangling the tassel of the window-blind in her hand. When at length he somewhat mastered his grief and looked up, she had come quite close to him, but she did not speak.

"You can," rejoins the former speaker, his fingers wandering to his chin. "Well! I have my beadle-beadles, I take, are inseparable from royal blood-and my servants in liveries.

The horses were pulled, all standing, one way and another. Rolls of film were exposed and replaced by fresh ones. The rhino sulked and stormed and charged in turn. At the end of the fourth hour Loveless had one short length of light line left. The rest of the ropes were dangling, broken, from the rhino's legs and neck as he stood at bay over the ruins of the ant-hill.
When did pop fish him out? Was he dead? Why did he lay like that and not move or speak sho'! This and much more was flung at Mr. Cavendish all in one breath, and each eager questioner seized him by the hand, the dangling sleeve of his shirt, or his trousers they clutched him from all sides. "I never seen such a family!" said Mr. Cavendish helplessly.
