As soon as it began to flow in they built stores an' shacks an' a big hotel they wasn't timorous about puttin' their coin into circulation, you bet your life, an' it looked as if they was going to flood the market. Well, Slocum, he owned a third of everything, mind, an' his expression flopped square over like a dry moon, an' stayed points up.
I knew that meant wrestling with one of the traveling angels, and held my tongue, but the natural temper in my blood was not so easily controlled. I flopped down in the chair, laid my head upon the window sill and yielded to tears. I was far along in my middle years then, but never to the end did I get accustomed to the stubbornness of William's faith.
Hiram's borrowed silver-mounted spurs a reminder of Tom Gulick's cow-punching days in Utah jingled merrily. The heavy six-gun at his hip flopped against the silver-rimmed cantle of Jo's fifty-pound saddle. The smells of the morning were sweet.
I stuck around until the dancin' began, an' then I flopped myself on a hoss an' rode, an' rode, an' rode. The air was cool an' crisp as it swept over my face; but it was a long time before it took the fever out of my blood. Finally I circled back to of Monody's grave an' got off an' sat there till the sun came up, fresh an' strong.
A long, rangy fowl happened into the road just ahead of us, but immediately flopped clumsily, half afoot, half a-wing, to one side in the brush, like a stampeded hen. "Road runner," said Bill, with a short laugh. "Remember how they used to rack along in front of a hoss for miles, keeping just ahead, lettin' out a link when you spurred up? Aggravatin' fowl!
He cast a look around at the rough Covent Garden porters with which the place was fairly full. One of the boxes was empty and Mrs. Fenton pointed to it, at the same time ordering her daughter to go into the kitchen and make herself useful. Then she flopped down opposite Gay, separated from him by a table marked by innumerable rings left by coffee mugs.
"Shoo!" again called a little old lady, actually letting her black silk bag fly at the lamp. Of course poor Downy had to shoo, right into the net! Bert and Will brought up the four ends of the trap and Downy flopped.
Henri noticed at once and it was remarkable how his wits were assembling now that Jules had stimulated them that Jules's eyes started, that an intent look came into them promptly, while something approaching a scowl gathered on his features. "That man!" he heard him exclaim, and then watched as his friend flopped down amongst the dead and lay as close as possible.
Then blinding flames squirted out in all directions from the point of impact, and the little man who had jumped became, for an instant, a flash of fire and vanished vanished absolutely. The people running out into the road took preposterous clumsy leaps, then flopped down and lay still, with their torn clothes smouldering into flame.
His hat fell off, his head was not nice to look at, and his body flopped lax and rolled out of sight behind the bulwarks. "Caramba!" cried Gerilleau, and resorted to Holroyd forthwith. Holroyd was half-way up the companion. "Did you see dat?" said the captain. "Dead!" said Holroyd. "Yes. You'd better send a boat aboard. There's something wrong." "Did you by any chance see his face?"
