And here he was, ordering her about and piercing her with gimlet eyes, for all the world as if he were Claude Delamere, in the thirty-second chapter of "The Man of Chilled Steel", the one where Claude drags Lady Matilda around the smoking-room by her hair because she gave the rose from her bouquet to the Italian count. She was half-cowed, half-resentful.
"And I, too, can swear that it is the same keg that was taken from me!" exclaimed the bold smuggler in a confident tone. "Silence there, prisoner," said Sir Reginald, "You are not to speak until you are desired. Let the cask be broached." A couple of glasses and a gimlet had been sent for. The servant now brought them on a tray.
All the same, this persistent silence puzzled the innkeeper. He tried to peep through the keyhole, but the key was in it. Then he quietly drew a gimlet from his pocket and bored a hole in the door. Aunt Palmyra watched him smiling: she winked and jogged his elbow. "Ho, ho, my boy! I'll wager you don't stick at having a look at your customers this way, when it suits you!"
"You can drive Oak pegs into Pine, but you can't drive wooden pegs into hard wood without you make some sort of a hole first. Maybe I'd better bring a gimlet." "Now, Sam, you might just as well hire a carpenter that wouldn't be Indian at all. Let's play it right. We'll find some way. I believe we can tie them up with Leatherwood."
"Y'u'll find us at the Gimlet Butte House if we're wanted for this," said Bannister. "We'll be there till morning." But once out of the gambling-house McWilliams drew his friend to one side. "Do y'u know who that was I killed?" "Judd Morgan, foreman before y'u at the Lazy D." "Yes, but what else?" "What do y'u mean?" "I mean that next to your cousin Judd was leader of that Shoshone-Teton bunch."
I'm tebbly out spirits. Where shall we all go to? I dinn't think there was great a man on earth z Mizza Meadows. But the worlz wide. His Jew's eye went through our lill sgeme like a gimlet. 'Fools! says he that's me and Meadows, 'these dodges were used up in our family before Lunnun was built. Fools! Mizza Levi despises me and Meadows; and I respect him accordingly.
I succeeded in becoming the tenant of the room adjoining his; and one night, through a gimlet hole I had drilled in the partition, I saw my man take the case of diamonds from a very cleverly contrived hiding-place. He sat for an hour gazing at them and fondling them; he made them sparkle in the light, he pressed them passionately to his lips.
Amid a thick, bristling beard, a nose like an owl's beak and a mouth whose corners were drawn by a wild-beast-like rictus were just discernible. The eyes were half hidden by his thick, bushy, curly hair. Each curl ended in a spiral, pointed and twisted like a gimlet, and on peering at them closely it could be seen that each of these gimlets was a little viper. The man was smiling at the woman.
I did get to sleep for a few hours, and then some part of the boat which seemed to have grown up in the night for it certainly was not there when we started, and it had disappeared by the morning kept digging into my spine. I slept through it for a while, dreaming that I had swallowed a sovereign, and that they were cutting a hole in my back with a gimlet, so as to try and get it out.
Harry Hellinfinger in Beckersville, whose father is Postmaster, is grown up and too lazy to work, but likes to stand around in the street and get up jokes on boys like sending them to a hardware store for a gimlet to bore square holes and other jokes like that. He played one on me. He told me that if I would eat a half a cigar I would be stunted and not grow any more and maybe could be a rider.
