Then suddenly and without another word being spoken Terry was galvanized into action. Blenham was coming on toward her and she saw the look in his eye. She whipped back; her breath caught in her throat; the color ran out of her cheeks. She glanced wildly toward her father; his fingers were closing about the neck of a bottle when they should have been at the neck of a man.
Barber said no more, realizing that if Johnnie could run away once he could again. Even without grumbling the longshoreman helped Cis to put the wash to soak in the round, galvanized tub that stood on its side under the dish cupboard a Sunday night duty that was Johnnie's, and was in preparation for the hated laundry work which he always did so badly of a Monday.
The prisoner was remanded, and the court adjourned. The night of agony which followed to the wretched prisoner no words can ever tell. All he had suffered hitherto seemed as nothing. Men recoiled in horror at the sight of him next day; it was as if a galvanized corpse had entered the court-room. He sat in dumb misery, neither heeding nor hearing. Only once was his attention dimly aroused.
"I once saw a dead body galvanized," observed Mr Phillott: "it was the body of a man who had taken a great deal of snuff during his lifetime, and as soon as the battery was applied to his spine, the body very gently raised its arm, and put its fingers to its nose, as if it was taking a pinch."
On the running board were strapped two big galvanized tanks of water. It was almost distressingly evident that the muffler had either been lost or thrown away. But she was hitting on all four. I glanced at the speedometer dial. It registered the astonishing total of 29,250 miles. We swung out the end of the main street and sailed down a road that vanished in the endless gentle slope of a "sink."
Good-bye, dear." Sally mused a moment alone, then said earnestly, "I love him in spite of his name!" and went about her affairs with a light heart. Hawkins went straight to the telegraph office and disburdened his conscience. He said to himself, "She's not going to give this galvanized cadaver up, that's plain. Wild horses can't pull her away from him.
The big darky, followed by a crowd of smaller and nimbler "shades," would approach one of the leaders among them with: "Is you a Galvanized?" The surly reply would be, "Yes, you black . What the business is that of yours?" At that instant the bony fist of the darky, descending like a pile-driver, would catch the recreant under the ear, and lift him about a rod.
All sorts of interesting things began to arrive: portable hen-houses packed in sections, chicken-coops, rolls of galvanized wire netting, iron stakes, the framework of a greenhouse, and a whole cargo of tools. The three enterprising ladies seemed to have some knowledge of carpentry, and at once began to fit parts together and erect sheds. Their sensible land costumes excited admiration and envy.
"I suppose so, sir," I returned, "or he would not have taken it." "Where did he get it?" "Off the foot of that bed." Wells sprang to his feet as quickly as though he had been galvanized, kicking over the chair on which he had been sitting, and exclaimed: "My coat! sure as ! worth eighty dollars!
Detective-Sergeant Coombes, a plump, short man having lank black hair and a smile of sly contentment perpetually adorning his round face, rose hurriedly from the chair upon which he had been seated. Another man who was in the room rose also, as if galvanized by the glare of the fierce blue eyes.
