"Say afraid again, you miserable insect, and I'll flatten you." "Couldn't with that hand," I said, and I caught his wrist. "Oh, don't! Murder!" he roared. "I say, you shouldn't. It's like touching one's arm with red-hot iron." "Then be civil," I said. "Ah, only wait. I say, Tanner, our day's coming. As soon as we're both quite strong he has got to pay for all this, hasn't he?" "Oh, bother!

"What a tyrant the mighty god Society is," cried Bertram, "ignores a man's tastes; expects him to flatten himself at a crush immediately after a good dinner." "Try and be ours again at Christmas," de Vesey was saying to Vaura. "Without fail" said another "our city is glorious at the birth-day of the Christ."

The rifle-shots acted like magic, sending the Apaches back to cover, where they began to return the fire briskly enough, though they did no more harm than to flatten their bullets, some of which dropped harmlessly into the rifle-pits, and were coolly appropriated by the Beaver's followers for melting down anew. "Don't shoot, my lads," said Joses before long; "it is only wasting ammunition.

The Steam Roller, the final method, now operating in Belgium to flatten her for all time, is the most deadly and universal of the three. It is a calculated process to break the human spirit. People speak as if the injury done Belgium was a thing of the past. It is at its height now.

The rebel proclamations bore Bernadotte's signature, and more than one thousand copies of this document had just been found in a carriage belonging to his aide-de-camp. The First Consul thought that such evident proofs would flatten and confound Bernadotte; but he was dealing with a true Gascon, as devious as they come! Bernadotte expressed surprise...indignation!

It was dawn when we put out from the Delaware Breakwater, and by dark of the same day we were back to where we had met the big school and lost the seine two days before. And there we hung about for another night and day waiting for the sea to flatten out. Mackerel rarely show in rough weather, even if you could put out a seine-boat and go after them.

But the land breeze had begun to die away with the rising sun, and now came only in failing puffs. The salmon boat got out its oars and soon left us far astern. Some of the Chinese stood in the forward part of the cockpit, near the cabin doors, and once, as I leaned over the cockpit rail to flatten down the jib-sheet a bit, I felt some one brush against my hip pocket.

He could hear the balls flatten against the wall, but he was not hit. "Fire! fire!" The woman repeated the cry in the voice of an angry, self-willed child. She had been through the fighting, this girl, she had drunk her fill from staved-in wine-casks and slept on the bare ground, pell-mell with the men, out in the public square reddened with the glare of conflagration.

"I'm going to try and get it off directly." "How?" "Lay it on a stool and stamp upon it." "Good! that will flatten it and make the opening gape."

I imagined, indeed, that you would have been cloyed and tired with uniformity of adventures and expressions, inseparable from a subject of this sort, whose bottom, or groundwork being, in the nature of things eternally one and the same, whatever variety of forms and modes the situations are susceptible of, there is no escaping a repetition of near the same images, the same figures, the same expressions, with this further inconvenience added to the disgust it creates, that the words Joys, Ardours, Transports, Extasies and the rest of those pathetic terms so congenial to, so received in the Practice of Pleasure, flatten and lose much of their due spirit and energy by the frequency they indispensably recur with, in a narrative of which that Practice professedly composes the whole basis.
