He held in his hand a sheaf of papers belted with a rubber band; he slid over the topmost of these papers, face down. "It's endorsed," he said, pointing to his heavy signature. "How will you have it, sir?" Hudson inquired with a smile of mocking deference. "Quick and now," said Pete. Hudson flipped over the check. The sneer died from his face. His tongue licked at his paling lips.
"Put it to the bit Skye noo. If he tak's the Queen's shullin' he belongs to the army." The sergeant flipped a coin before Bobby, who was wagging his tail and sniffing at the military boots with his ever lively interest in soldiers. He looked up at the tossed coin indifferently, and when it fell to the floor he let it lie. "Siller" has no meaning to a dog.
The leader of the troop stepped up to the door of the Solarite, and coming to what was obviously a position of attention, put his left hand over his right breast in an equally obvious salute, and waited. The coin was flipped with due ceremony it would decide which of them were to have the distinction of being the first Terrestrians to set foot on Venus.
A pendent loop of a wild grapevine, swinging low, caught his hat and flipped it off his head; but Mr. Trimm, imagining pursuit, did not stop to pick it up and went on bareheaded until he had to stop from exhaustion.

"I expect trouble there, sooner or later. But I'm goin' to lay down the law to 'em. If they come clean, well an' good, they git their original two shares. If not, they don't get a plugged nickel.
He licked his lips and flipped the telephone-talker switch. After a misconnection or two he got Control Tower. Control Tower said yes, they had a small exploratory scooter on hand. Yes, it could be controlled on a beam and fitted with cameras. But of course it was special equipment, emergency use only He cut them off and buzzed Simpson excitedly.
