"How many times have I told you to put oil on cucumbers, and they wouldn't gripe you that way?" said Uncle Ike, as he drew a chair up beside the lounge and felt of the boy's pulse, and took his handkerchief and wiped the perspiration off his forehead, and finally took the picture out of his bosom and looked at it.
During the day, recurring to his misfortune, he told me that when the lasso first fell over his shoulders, he fancied for the moment that he was in the gripe of some wild beast, but immediately he felt himself drawn from his horse, the truth became apparent to him.
Not only did more than five hundred Jews perish in the dark and secret gripe of the Grand Inquisitor, but several hundred of the wealthiest Christian families, in whose blood was detected the hereditary Jewish taint, were thrown into prison; and such as were most fortunate purchased life by the sacrifice of half their treasures.
His impulse was to march straight into Mr. Morton's shop and gripe him by the throat; and the indignation he betrayed encouraged Sidney to colour yet more highly the tale of his wrongs and pain. When he had done, and clinging tightly to his brother's broad chest, said "But never mind, Philip; now we will go home to mamma." Philip replied "Listen to me, my dear brother.
With one hand he pinioned his arms, while the other was at his throat, where it closed with a deadly gripe. James made one last effort to save himself; with a violent wrench he succeeded in fixing his teeth in his brother's arm, but he failed in making him relax his hold, though they met in the firm flesh. John's brow grew darker, but he only tightened his clasp closer and closer, muttering,
So cheer up we will get away! Thou needst na gripe me so, thou rogue; I am going wherever she goes." "I'll see that ye do," growled the bandy-legged man. "But take the other hand of her, thou jackanapes, and fetch a better pace than this I'll not be followed again."
The inexorable hand held her tighter and tighter, until she felt as if her own slender fingers would be crushed in its gripe. It was one of the tortures of the Inquisition she was suffering, and she could not stir from her place.
The marvellousness of the fact, as I have read of it, and heard it from other eye-witnesses, melted strangely away in his hearty gripe, and at the sharp touch of his logic; while his wife, ever and anon, put in a little gentle word of expostulation.
The boat, as soon as Smallbones had been turned out, had resumed her upright position, and one of the men when busy washing the decks, had made fast the gripe again, which he supposed had been cast off by accident when the ropes had been coiled up for washing, Smallbones not being at that time missed.
But Sanchia stood upright, and Mrs. Percival felt the frost gripe at her heart. It must be so. Her father went with her to the door his arm about her waist. "Come soon," he pleaded, and when she promised, whispered in her ear "Come to The Poultry, if you'd rather: I'm always there as you know. Come, and we'll lunch together. You'll be like a nosegay in the dusty old place."
