But right now it means quick money, see. With all this publicity, and the Injun name say, it's a cinch, bo! They'll fall over theirselves to git a ride. "My idea is to get the name painted on right now, before we go back. Then we'll circle over town and do a few flops and show our sign. So right away the name'll stick in their minds and make good advertising.
An' the lady in her white, she looks at the path and the gent 'e looks at 'er white boots an' I off's with me coat like that there Rally gent you yarned me about, and flops it down in the middle of the puddle, right in front of the gal. And she tips me a smile like a hangel and 'olds out 'er hand in 'er white glove and all and yer know what my 'ands is like, matey." "Yes," said Dickie, "go on."
I could feel the knot under my ear, but glory to God, it slipped! Just the same, I'm going to buy some oakum and make a false beard in case she flops." In this way the trap was set and baited so skilfully that the victim was without suspicion.
He can see the ordinary arrow, and if you shoot close, he dodges, swoops downward, flops sidewise, twists his head round and round, and speeds up to leave the country. He presents the comic picture of a complacent old gentleman suddenly disturbed in his monotonous existence and frightened into a most unbecoming loss of dignity.
And wimmen have to see squirmin' at their feet anon or oftener, game that flops and wriggles and won't lay still and grows all the time. The next mornin' Whitfield and Tirzah went home, Josiah and I thinkin' we would stay a few days longer.
A week is hardly past before the progress of the exhaustion becomes startlingly rapid. The nurse is flabby and wrinkled, as though borne down by her own weight, like a very slack object. If I move her from her place, she flops and sprawls like a half-filled water bottle over the new supporting plane.
All that he wants of home is a father and mother, nimble and assiduous in bringing food to him while he flops around, practising his legs and his wings. It is August now, and the eggs are gone, shells and all.
How he outs, fins, and flops about, and blows like a porpoise properly frightened, don't he? and when he gets out there he stands; all shiverin' and shakin', and the water a squish-squashin' in his shoes, and his trousers all stickin' slimsey-like to his legs.
If not that, then it was some other equally urgent reason, or the massive beasts, who can move on land only by a series of violent and exhausting flops, would never have undertaken an enterprise so formidable as a half-mile overland journey.
She frowned at him and told him not to be silly. "She calls the Communion Service the Eucharist, and crosses herself and flops and bows!..." "You're very absurd, Ninian!" she said. Almost unconsciously, he began to compare her to Sheila Morgan. He remembered the free, natural ways of Sheila, and liked them better than these new, mannered ways of Mary.
