'He need, replied Jonas; 'for of all the precious old dummies in appearance that I ever saw, he's about the worst. He's afraid of me, I think. 'It's my belief, said Tigg, 'that you are Poison to him. Nadgett! give me that towel! He had as little occasion for a towel as Jonas had for a start.
She's one of those dummies they put in the windows," declared the middle-aged man. The people who had collected shouted: "You're right!" "That's what she is!" "She's a dummy!" "Are you?" inquired the policeman, sternly. The wax lady did not reply. She began to fear she was getting into trouble, and the staring crowd seemed to embarrass her.
It enables the enemy to withdraw his forces deliberately and in perfect order, and to assume another and stronger position comparatively at leisure. The difficulty of detecting the dummies is emphasised, inasmuch as now, whenever the sound of an aeroplane is heard, or a glimpse thereof is obtained, the men keep well down and out of sight. Not a sign of movement is observable.
His fellow-plenipotentiaries were dummies; and even the trusted Colonel House, with vastly more knowledge of men and of Europe than the President, from whose sensitiveness the President's dullness had gained so much, fell into the background as time went on.

They visited the Park, the Mint, and the big baths, or crossed to Oakland or Sausalito, where Martie learned to swim.

But old Mr.
When this had cleared away, the dummies on the left of the gun had vanished, and the gun itself appeared to have been damaged, as it was leaning over on one side. The first shot had hit the mark full. This simply showed that excellent aim had been taken. The actual distance had corresponded exactly with the calculation. Still, it caused great satisfaction.
Suits which looked worn and glossless while they were still new, flabbily draped on dummies like corpses with painted cheeks. The Bon Ton Store Haydock & Simons' the largest shop in town. The first-story front of clear glass, the plates cleverly bound at the edges with brass. The second story of pleasant tapestry brick.
A little before twelve I was sitting out among the turbans, when I saw him standing at some distance, and unmistakably looking at me. A sudden horror seized me that something was wrong my hair coming down, my dress awry and I was not comforted by Harriet passing at this moment with "'What! sitting out still? You should be more lively, child! Men don't like dancing with dummies.
