"Aye," said Macdonald, holding grimly on.
Among these, the most formidable was a burly, roaring, roystering blade, of the name of Abraham, or, according to the Dutch abbreviation, Brom Van Brunt, the hero of the country round, which rang with his feats of strength and hardihood. He was broad-shouldered and double-jointed, with short curly black hair, and a bluff but not unpleasant countenance, having a mingled air of fun and arrogance.

She walked up State Street, and stared in the windows; came back, turned into Madison, passed a bright little shop in the window of which taffy white and gold was being wound endlessly and fascinatingly about a double-jointed machine.

"If I may make a suggestion to a man of your experience it would be that none of your men here, not even your chief assistant or Trehayne, should know that you are joining the Malplaquet as a Marine. Two independent strings are in this case better than a double-jointed string." "I never tell anything to any one, least of all to Pudden-Headed Wilson.
