The moment she is free, the Bee drops to the ground and rolls about, like a mad thing, on the floor of the room. She resumes her flight, flops down again, turns over on her side, on her back, knocks against the things in her way, buzzes noisily, flings herself about desperately and ends by darting through the open window in headlong flight. What does it all mean?
The next gal who flops herself aboard the 'Eb an' Flo, I'll bring straight home fer you to look after." "For pity's sake, Sam'l, I hope you'll never get into such a scrape again. And you are not out of this one yet, from all appearance. Mr. Randall is a hard man to deal with, and I feel sure that he intends to go to law about this affair."
I sez, "your number didn't win nothin'." He gives a start, then down on the floor he flops with his eyes turned in an' his mouth frothin' a little. Friar Tuck straightened him out an' began to rub his hands; an' I turned to Dick. "Now, it's your turn to go," I sez. "I'd advise you to go clear to England, where you'll find good news."
'Tell the man who 'tis you suspect. My aunt Dorothy said: 'Harry is not bound to mention his suspicions. 'Tell him yourself, then. 'Does it matter ? 'Yes, it matters. I'll break every plank he walks on, and strip him stark till he flops down shivering into his slough a convicted common swindler, with his dinners and Balls and his private bands!
And a ten-foot wavering flame of blue-white, bellying electric fire shuddered up to the ceiling from the contact points of the alleged atomic generator. The heat, pouring out from the flashing, roaring arc sent prickles of aching burns over Kendall's skin. For ten seconds he stood in utter, paralyzed surprise as his flop of flops bellowed its anger at his disdain.
"When Aunt Boynton was first sick she stayed in bed more, and Ivory and I hadn't got used to things. One morning we bound up each other's burns. Ivory had three fingers and I two, done up in buttery rags to take the fire out. Ivory called us 'Soldiers dressing their Wounds after the Battle. Sausages spatter dreadfully, don't they? And when you turn a pancake it flops on top of the stove.
She ain't one o' your weak sort that flops down at the slightest report of good or bad luck, but we'd better be on the safe side. I'll tell yore Ma, I say, an' then I'll go up to the big house an see if I can do anything with Hettie." "Well, maybe you'd better," Dick Wrinkle agreed, slowly, "and I reckon you'd better give her a full account o' how it all happened.
"Where's Gringo?" asked Keith by way of indirect yielding he had really no desire for a picked-up lunch. "The little rascal! He started to chew everything in the place, so I tied him in the backyard. He pulls and flops dreadfully. Do you think he'll strangle himself?" Keith looked out the window. Gringo, all four feet planted, was determinedly straining back against his tether.
"I told him straight, an' he looked at me an' down he flops on his knees. An' he made 'em all flop, but I told him I didn't care for them putting up any camp-meeting over me; an' he says, 'I'll lick you, an' I says, 'Dare you to! I told him mother kep' a-licking me for nothing, an' I'd not pray for her, not in Sunday-school or anywheres else. Do you pray much?" "No," replied Lin, uneasily.
The men with Philip's manners and Philip's charm thank goodness, there aren't many of them! have an abominable responsibility. The poor moth flops into the candle before she knows where she is.
