For instance, lighting a match with intent to set fire to a haystack has been held to amount to a criminal attempt to burn it, although the defendant blew out the match on seeing that he was watched. /1/ So the purchase of dies for making counterfeit coin is a misdemeanor, although of course the coin would not be counterfeited unless the dies were used. /2/
There may be a good many others down there by the barn for all that we know. What do you think we'd better do?" "There's a haystack out there by the barn," said Hawley, pointing to a stack of some kind that could be seen in the rear of the nearest barn. "If you could only get behind that you could see what was going on." "I can, all right enough. But where will you fellows be?
"You shut up, or I'll give you worse," threatened Banbury. "A nice fellow you are! Went and peached on me about that haystack." "You lied to the professor about us, saying we had a hand in it," declared Gill. "Well, you've got me suspended, sent home, and I'll probably be expelled." "You ought to be!" yelled Gill, as a twinge of pain made him howl anew.
His writing catching the bad habit of the time is too ready to proclaim a paradox and to assert the unusual, to throw aside in contempt the valuable haystack in a fine search for a paltry needle. His reviews are seldom right as most of us see the right but they sparkle and hold one's interest for their perversity and unexpected turns.
"If you sit down on the haystack you speedily find the needle, M. le Baron," said Montaiglon playfully. "In other words, trust my sensibility to feel the prick of his presence whenever I get into his society. The fact that he may suspect my object here will make him prick all the quicker and all the harder." "Even yet you don't comprehend Argyll's court.
At length, however, they alighted safely on the top of a haystack, and the next moment they were standing in the hayfield. Just beside the haystack was a field-mouse's hole, or what looked like one; and something that looked like a little brown mouse, but which might have been something else for all Hilda could tell, was sitting at the entrance of it.
He stood up and peeped round the stack; he could distinguish the rounded moon nearly at the full beating with white wings like an owl through the tangled mist. In another quarter of an hour he could see sufficiently well to commence investigation. He noted as he searched the ground about him that quite recently the earth had been disturbed just beyond the verge of the haystack.
Then he placed the tin flask on it, and, in a little while there was a warm beverage ready. Frank sipped it from the collapsable cup Ned carried, and, after eating some sandwiches, felt better. "Now for camp!" cried Bart, "unless," looking at Frank, "you have some other plan." "No, I'm anxious to get back." "Didn't sleep very good in the haystack I guess," commented Ned. "Haystack!
When they reached the farmhouse he left the children outside. The town-place was admirably suited for a game of "Follow-my-leader," which they played for twenty minutes with great seriousness, to the disgust of the roosting poultry. Then Taffy spied a niche, high up, where a slice had been cut out of a last year's haystack. He fetched a ladder.
Then I went to every hole around the haystack, where the cattle had eaten; none were deep yet, like they would be later in the season, and all the way I begged of Leon to come out. Once a rooster screamed, flew in my face and scared me good, but no Leon; so I tried the corn crib, the implement shed, and the wood house, climbing the ladder with the money still gripped in one hand.
