Abraham seems also to have been sadly deficient in all the auxiliaries of family government, such as stocks, hand cuffs, foot-chains, yokes, gags, and thumb-screws. His destitution of these patriarchal indispensables is the more afflicting, when we consider his faithful discharge of responsibilities to his household, though so deplorably destitute of the needful aids.
"Lay off, Richards," said Tom. "We haven't time for gags now. Astro's going to take his power-deck manual in a few minutes and we're cramming with him." "O.K. O.K. don't blow your jets," said Richards. "I just wanted to see if there were any bets on which unit would cop honors in the manuals this afternoon." "I suppose you think your Unit 77-K will finish on top?" drawled Roger.
It's a great show town, all right; sometimes they have two shows there the same week, 'East Lynne' and something else. The Boston Store has the 'Pilgrim's Progress' on the recent fiction counter. "Well, I must rush right along. I've got to go over to some place and get a mile or two of those puff gags, mine are all moth eaten.
We may look back to the old system of endless catechisms, apophthegms, moral fables, and the rest of the paraphernalia of moral didactics, with the same horror with which we regard the gags, strait-waistcoats, chains, and dark cells, of poor mad people before the intervention of Pinel.
Didn't I have him up here at my house not long ago? Jane'll tell you that I like him. She likes him, too. But the trouble with him and with you, too is that you're dreaming all the time. You don't recognize facts. And, so, you make a lot of trouble for us conservative men." "Please don't use that word conservative," said Charlton. "It gags me to hear it. YOU'RE not a conservative.
That sounds like stage-talk, don't it? but there's a lot of truth in some of those old gags; and I don't suppose you bought those letters simply because you're collecting autographs." She continued to look at him with a deepening bewilderment: her only clear impression resolved itself into a scared sense of his power.
"All those gags in the I-A about old Upshook Ipscott Bullone ... and then I find that his wife went to school with my mother." "Have you met Himself?" "He brought his wife to the hospital a couple of times." Again, Stetson looked to the southwest, then back to Orne. A pensive look came over his face.
Having the two forms prostrate upon the floor, he shoved their feet into the fire, removing the gags now and then so they could speak and disclose the secret he so vainly strove to force from theist. Removing the gag from the old man for the second time he found that he had fainted. He gave him a toss and a rude kick, leaving him to lie lifeless, as he thought, upon the floor.
Patti is not looking so well as she did when my father took me to see her in the prime of her life. Though getting quite plain, it costs as much to see her as ever it did. Her voice has a metallic, or rather bi-metallic, ring to it nowadays, and she misses it by not working in more topical songs and bright Italian gags. I asked her about an old singer who used to be with her.
The sleigh started, and the two lay side by side on the floor, jostled by the lurching of the runners, their flesh cut and bruised by the ropes, their mouths parched and panting behind the gags. They could not stir, or moan, or make a sign. They were helpless.
