The archer who is really eager to hit the object on which he has spent his arrows, does not retire from the fight, but fetches more; and if he can find none, he fights with his bow, or falls on the enemy with stones, fists, and teeth."
Nay, it is this single element, which, acted on by heat or acting through machinery, fetches and carries for us over the wide globe, and is fast weaving into one living web the far-scattered interests of the world.
Now were all paired off for the plays, and Grettir was allotted to play against Audun, the aforenamed, who was some winters the eldest of the two; Audun struck the ball over Grettir's head, so that he could not catch it, and it bounded far away along the ice; Grettir got angry thereat, deeming that Audun would outplay him; but he fetches the ball and brings it back, and, when he was within reach of Audun, hurls it right against his forehead, and smites him so that the skin was broken; then Audun struck at Grettir with the bat he held in his hand, but smote him no hard blow, for Grettir ran in under the stroke; and thereat they seized one another with arms clasped, and wrestled.
And every time that a Kayan housewife fetches rice from the granary for the use of her household, she must propitiate the souls of the rice in the granary, lest they should be angry at being robbed of their substance. The same need of securing the soul of the rice, if the crop is to thrive, is keenly felt by the Karens of Burma. If the soul cannot be called back, the crop will fail.
Herrick: that's what they'll say, one after the other, the old girl sitting there holding stakes at the foot of the bed, and the damned little innocents ..." he broke off. "I don't often rip out about the kids," he said; "but when I do, there's something fetches loose." "Captain," said Herrick faintly, "is there nothing else?" "I'll prophesy if you like," said the captain with renewed vigour.
Now, if after he fetches a few breaths you alarm him, so that he sounds, he will be always dodging up again to make good his regular allowance of air. And not till those seventy breaths are told, will he finally go down to stay out his full term below. Remark, however, that in different individuals these rates are different; but in any one they are alike.

People were running about wringing their hands, while those who had been bathing were huddling on their clothes, and others, again, had gone to seek for a boat; but it was very plain that, if assistance were not immediately rendered, the boy would be drowned. "Is there no one here that can swim?" said Mr Inglis. "A sovereign to the man who fetches the poor fellow in."
Wine flows in every gutter there, but otherwise it's no joke." Garibaldi raises the empty bottle high in the air and peeps wonderingly up at the shelves; the young master winks at Pelle, and the latter fetches another supply of drink at the gallop. The hot blood is seething in Pelle's ears.
"It's no good having his face knocked about, you know lot of trouble to make that face. His head and body are full of springs, and if anybody hits him in the face, or in the pit of the stomach favourite places to hit canvassers, the pit of the stomach it sets a strong spring in motion, and he fetches his right hand round with a swipe that'll knock them into the middle of next week.
