Joe and his great-grandfather carried each a pair of pullets, in their hands. Mr. Williams transported more poultry, turkeys and hens, in two great flopping clusters, slung over his shoulder, with their heads down. The women bore crockery and other frangible articles, and helped Fessenden's drive the cow. A picturesque procession, not noiseless!
They would look at him now and understand that he was not Erik Dorn, but somebody else huddled up, burning and flopping around inside. Love was a virulent form of idiocy. It meant nothing to people outside. Everything inside. Anna talking about Rachel started a panic in him. She was playing with memories of Rachel. Do you remember this? and that? As if he, of course, had forgotten her.
It is possible that the white-fish's spinal column and flopping tail had interfered with his vision, and in launching himself he may have mistaken the dark, round opening of the cistern for its dark, round cover.
Just for fun, one of the little mermaids used to draw some bag-like seaweed over her hands, to see how such things looked. One day, while sunning themselves in the grass on the island, one of their number found a bush on which foxgloves grew. Plucking these, she covered each one of her fingers with a red flower. Then, flopping over to the other girls, she held up her gloved hands.
It was flopping about like a dead fish on a gaff. Before long the foresail began to fret its sheets, and Bevins got her head to seaward. Then there came from astern a hot, puffy breeze, and the schooner stood out on a port tack, curvetting prettily as her sails were trimmed and filled. One of the crew, hailed as Pennock, now came aft and took the wheel, and Bevins went forward.
But perhaps he would venture up again some time next week or the week after not getting coarse in her work, understand, even with him flopping around there out on the bank and he give her one long, meaning look and said why not to-morrow night, and she carelessly said that would be charming, she was sure she didn't think of any engagement at this minute and it was ever so nice of him to think of poor little me.
She says she has a scientific and analytical mind and she worked it all out the number of hours and days and weeks and months she had spent flopping around from one party to another, and doing the things she was supposed to do, and saying the things she wasn't supposed to say, and then she estimated the cost in time and strength and money and wear and tear on her character, and announced that it wasn't a paying business, and at the end of the year she was going to get out.
It was swaying from side to side on the station seat. Freddie Bobbsey, called away from looking at the magazine pictures on the news stand, came running over when he heard Flossie shout. "What's the matter?" asked the little boy. "Did something else fall on you, Flossie, like the sheets flopping over your head?" "No, nothing falled on me!" exclaimed Flossie. "But look! Look at my basket!
In me they saw only a poorly clad, sea-going person. When I gave greeting they greeted me in return. "For Palos?" I asked, and the one who talked the most and the loudest gave groaning assent. "Aye, for Palos. You too, brother, are flopping in the net?" I did not understand and said as much. He gave an angry laugh and explained his figure.
He was lifted to his feet off his feet, so that he dangled in the air like a pendulum. He was suspended by the shoulders, Lawler's fingers gripping him like iron hooks; he was shaken until his feet, powerless to retard the movement, were flopping back and forth wildly, and his teeth rattled despite his efforts to clench them.
