I am a hard hitter, too, even with the gloves; that is one reason why Jack had best take you on until you get a little handy with your fists. I do more in the dog fancier line than I do with boxing, but there is nothing I like better than getting the gloves on with an amateur who is likely to be a credit to me.
Better far to be in his shoes than in those of P. Sybarite, just then.... Remembering Penfield's revolver, he made sure it was safe and handy in his pocket; then strode in and dropped an imperative hand on the policeman's shoulder. "Here wake up!" he cried; and shook him rudely. The fellow stirred, grunted, and lifted a bemused, red countenance to the breaker of rest.
She carried the plates into the other room, and made the table ready against the father's arrival. The old grandfather, who had watched the proceedings from his corner, called Elsli to him. "You are good, and very handy too," he said; "can you come again to-morrow?" Elsli promised to come.
And on the table in the window a Japanese flower-bowl that served as a handy receptacle for cigarette ash and spent vestas. Two immense mirrors facing each other reflected these objects and Poppy, when she was there, for ever and ever, in diminishing perspective. But Poppy was not there. Passing through this brilliant scene into the back room beyond, he found her finishing her supper.
Except for the handy little spoke-vice which I very fortunately brought with me, this work of adjustment would have been impossible. As there is probably nothing obtainable in Herat that would have answered the purpose, no alternative would have been left but to have carried the bicycle out of the country on horseback.
"It's too bad the Powder of Life was all used up," remarked the shaggy man; "it would be a handy thing to have around." "I am not so sure of that, sir," answered the Tin Woodman. "A while ago the crooked Sorcerer who invented the Magic Powder fell down a precipice and was killed. All his possessions went to a relative an old woman named Dyna, who lives in the Emerald City.
He must manage to endure somehow the idea of a woman being womanly, which does not mean soft and yielding, but handy, thrifty, rather hard, and very humorous. He must confront without a quiver the notion of a child who shall be childish, that is, full of energy, but without an idea of independence; fundamentally as eager for authority as for information and butter-scotch.
"Dandæus, dandæus verbum erat," says his Riv'rence, O, the dear man, but it's himself that was handy ever and always at getting out ov a hobble, "dandæus verbum erat," says he, "quod dicturus eram, cum me intherpillavisti." "Ast ego dico," says the Pope very sharp, "quod verbum erat dandy." "Per tibicinem qui coram Mose modulatus est," says his Riv'rence, "id flagellat mundum!
You thump Fritz on the head with it. Very handy at close quarters. The knuckle knife is a short dagger with a heavy brass hilt that covers the hand. Also very good for close work, as you can either strike or stab with it. We moved up to the front trenches at about half-past ten. At zero minus ten, that is, ten minutes of eleven, our artillery opened up.
If the boy's people are truly good and want him to go to Sunday-school he should do it, and learn all that is good, but he should want a little exercise with his hands between meals, and learn the efficacy of two fists, for sometimes they come handy.
