Like poor Bunny chased by the dreaded Stoat, the Crab gave in as soon as the ogre flicked him with an arm. The suckers gripped him fast and, still holding up his claws, he was drawn into the den of his dreadful enemy. Although armed with a beak, the Octopus seems not to use it against the Crab.
It sent the blood cold through Alleyne's veins to see that as they came together the man and the beast the creature reared up, with eyes ablaze with fear and hate, and whirled its great paws above the knight to smite him to the earth. He, however, blinking with puckered eyes, reached up his kerchief, and flicked the beast twice across the snout with it.
In imagination he conjured up the scene. It made, he found, a very pretty picture. He would smoke upon it. "Leduc, if you were to fill me a pipe of Spanish " "Monsieur has smoked one pipe already," Leduc reminded him. "You are inconsequent, Leduc. It is a sign of advancing age. Repress it. The pipe!" And he flicked impatient fingers. "Monsieur is forgetting that the doctor "

"Always there are coming more into it," said Furst, in his blunt, broken English. A pause ensued.

He flicked thumb and forefinger together contemptuously. "That Hudson Bay scheme was chicken-feed. I've bigger than that up my sleeve. What you've done won't put the stopper on me.

Rick winced. Chavez listened gravely, apparently not at all disturbed.
Sometimes he stood up in his saddle and flicked with his sword the dead leaves on the oaks. Again he made his horse crush the thin crust of ice that had formed in tiny pools on the road.
