Messages had dribbled through from each part of the attacking line telling exactly where every portion of it had got to; or rather telling where each portion believed it had got to as far as it could judge by sticking up its collective head from shell craters and broken-down trench walls and staring out over the limitless sea of craters and crabholes which surrounded it.
His tongue hung almost to the ground and was dripping with foam, his flanks were heaving and spume-flecks dribbled from his breast and sides. He stopped panting a moment to give my hand a dutiful lick, then flung himself flop on the leaves to drown all other sounds with his noisy panting. But again that tantilizing 'Yap yurrr' was heard a few feet away, and the meaning of it all dawned on me.
Gold was poured into the hands of tea-planters in Ceylon. Scanty wages in strange coins, dribbled out to factory workers in Russian cotton mills. Gangs of navvies went to work laying railway lines across the veldt in Bechuanaland. There was no end to the energy controlled, directed by these cable messages, nor any bounds to the field of their influence.
This is too good this is something you can't afford to miss, you damned welcher!" He poured the scalding liquor down the other's throat. Some of it spilled and ran into the hollow of his neck; some of it dribbled on his limp collar and his coat lapels. But Durkin took what he could, and was glad of it. The pain of his wounded arm was very acute.
Here, I heard again the common story they had been several months out of work; their household goods had dribbled away in ruinous sales, for something to live upon; and now, they had very little left but the walls. The little woman said to me, "Bless yo, there is at thinks we need'n nought, becose we keepen a daycent eawtside. But, I know my own know abeawt that.
Women and children and old men dribbled out from the houses, all eager for the news. "Billie he found Miss Lee in the Mal-Pais. That boy sure had his lucky pants on to-day. She's all right too. I done seen her myself just a mite tuckered out, as you might say," explained the former cowpuncher. Live-Oaks shook hands with itself in exuberant joy. For an hour the school bell pealed out the good news.
The captain went through the upper end of these streets, stopping appreciatively to note the rude contrast which they made with their terminal vista. Almost all descended to the old harbor with a ditch of dirty water in the middle of the gutter that dribbled from stone to stone.
Howled for his dog, then sat on the floor and dribbled. The confusion of being chucked into a group of noisy, aggressive six-year-olds was too much for him. You remember he recovered completely almost instantly when his mother packed him out of the school." "That reminds me of something else. I think that dog is some sort of a symbol to him. Perhaps it has somehow become associated with security.
If you are tired, it is because your life has no great interests: it's frivolous; it is dribbled away on little things. You don't really care for it you are too good for it the sort of life you lead." "The sort of life I lead?" "The ideals of your set, of the people who surround your aunt, of your aunt herself. The whole thing is barren." "Are we more frivolous than the rest?" she asked suddenly.
I saw the abrupt rising and falling of the man's chest as his breath came in sharp jerks; the stream of dirty saliva that oozed from between his blackberry-stained lips and dribbled down his chin; I saw their hands the man's, square-fingered, black-nailed, big-veined, shining with perspiration and clutching grimly at the reins; the boy's, smaller, and if anything rather more grimy the one pressed flat down on the hay, the other extended in front of him, the palm stretched outwards and all the fingers widely apart.
