They make it in the shape of a bee-hive. Their reason for moving about continually, is that they may get food. They look for it, wherever they go, digging up roots, and grubbing up grubs, and searching the hollows of the trees for opossums. The women are the most ill-treated creatures in the world. The men beat them on their heads whenever they please, and cover them with bruises.
Look at that knife I gave you to hold last night, and that wood that's my fault though, and so are those scraps by Granny's chair. What are you grubbing at that rat-hole for?" Johnnie raised his head somewhat flushed and tumbled. "What do you think I have found?" said he triumphantly. "Father's measure that has been lost for a week!" "Hurrah!" said Tommy, "put it by his things.
Though I suppose the guides could advise on business as well as on anything else. But they think about other things on the other side than this" his hand swept over Lower Manhattan "this money grubbing." Bulger leaned his elbows on his knees. "It sounds wonderful," he said. "Not more wonderful than wireless telegraphy," answered Norcross.
But now, to think of grubbing away year after year, to get money that I can't use, that I don't want that can't get me what I want! Oh, Lord! the hopeless years ahead! What's the good of them? What's the use? I wish I'd never seen this place or you." His deep voice rose, and fell, and rumbled uncertainly, shaken by feeling.
Time for a little talk this quiet night? Tell us what's doing up above." "Nothing particular," said Barker Bunn, lighting and relaxing. "But the old man has a hunch that the Fritzies are grubbing a mine a corker to get our goat. Hence this business of ears forward.
"So's the great Somerled, isn't he? He told my Cousin Marguerite that he was going a long journey in search of a model with the right shade of hair, which was hard on her, poor girl, as she's spent a pot o' money on hers. But Somerled's a sardonic sort of chap, don't you think? They say his money's spoilt him. He hardly ever paints nowadays. Too busy grubbing for millions.
An Arab named Abdullah El Jaridiah, grubbing among old tombs for curios, came across a roll of papyri. He sold it to Alfieri for a few francs, and Alfieri gave it to my husband." She paused; she was not a woman who said too much. "I take it that Alfieri knew no Greek?" said Mr. Fenshawe, with a touch of irony that was not lost on the lady.
Here he found "most of them at work Cuting down trees, Grubbing out the roots &c What was more encouraging some few of the Men were at this unusual kind of labour for them they laughed when they saw Me I praised them, in every agreable way that could be conveyed to them in their language." Again on June 8th he was pleased to see the Indians all at work hoeing their corn and potatoes.
They must take their chance, the sheep on the moor, the pigs grubbing about the ruins of the farmyard. The soldiers must be too busy for marauding, to judge by the constant firing that had gone on all day, the sharp rattle of the musquets, and now and then the grave roll of a cannon.
And now I've got old Thingumbob's best girl in the corner yonder. Oh, it's jolly. But build the column, Bill build it high and strong. I remember hic how they used to build houses on the Saskatchewan, when I was grubbing for potatoes there. They had a board frame the length of a wall, and three or four feet high.
