"And if a malefactor, why not a lawyer?" she added. A soldier said he would get a gimlet and bore a hole into the Arminian. "Then you must get a gimlet that will reach to the top of the castle, where the Arminian lies abed and asleep," said Elsje.
He could get a tongue ready-made if he used a broom-handle or a hoop-pole, but that had in either case to be whittled so it could be fastened to the wagon; he even bored the linchpin holes with his knife if he could not get a gimlet; and if he could not get an auger, he bored the holes through the wheels with a red-hot poker, and then whittled them large enough with his knife.
Curious to know by what accident she had been so blessed, she asked: "Why was it, Billy, that you did not come after me yourself?" "Just what I said to him," replied McVay eagerly. "If I said once, I said a dozen times: 'Holland, it is my duty and pleasure, it is my right to go, but ..." McVay shrugged his shoulders, "when he once gets an idea into his head, it takes a gimlet to get it out."
That stung me, and made me shudder, I don't know why, unless it was because the words gave me the sense of having been used before to other women. I turned my eyes away again. "Don't turn away, dear. Let me see those big black eyes of yours. I adore black eyes. They always pierce me like a gimlet." He reached forward as he spoke and drew me to him. I felt frightened and pushed him off.
Adair was not offended at the freedom with which the warrant officer spoke. "You and all the hands have done your very best, Mr Gimlet," he answered. "We must manage to keep the ship from going down to-night, and to-morrow morning, at the top of high tide, we will attempt to take her over the bar. It is a question whether we shall succeed, and I am very loth to lose her, but the risk must be run."
Till that moment I had not realised the risks that he had incurred in our reckless dealing with the world of spirits. Annerly fell a victim to the great cause of psychic science, and the record of our experiments remains in the face of prejudice as a witness to its truth. III. Guido the Gimlet of Ghent: A Romance of Chivalry IT was in the flood-tide of chivalry. Knighthood was in the pod.
Then Jurgen dusted himself, and trudged home to an early supper with the Hamadryad who contented him. Economics of King Jurgen Now Jurgen's curious dream put notions into the restless head of Jurgen. Then Jurgen tricked Phobetor by an indescribable device, wherein surprising use was made of a cheese and three beetles and a gimlet, and so cheated Phobetor out of a gray magic.
The Admiral's flag was flying, and I soon procured a gimlet from his carefully kept tool-chest. Before long we had the gun in working order. A newspaper lashed to the end of a lath served as a swab to dust out the bore. Jack Harris blew through the touch-hole and pronounced all clear.
He believed himself protected by the holy presence of the bishop against the attacks of the devils, who might elsewhere fall upon him. In vain did the man of God urge his guest to drain another cup; the count pushed the cup back with his hand while his gimlet eyes, resembling the eyes of a frightened bird of prey, rolled uneasily over the hall.
The locker room had countless rows of narrow cells with iron gratings for doors; and the gimlet gaze of two stalwart young females pierced each newcomer. It was their business to see that Peter Rolls's hands did not pilfer each other's belongings.
