I hefted her brass-nailed trunk up the hill from their tent myself, and I watched her take out her crucifix. But she would not let me help her with that. She'd not let me touch it. She'd fixed it up agaynst the wall her own self her own way. But she accepted some flowers I picked, and set them in a can front of the crucifix.
Al seemed glad to relinquish the weapon. Miss Montague hefted it, and looked doubtful. "It ain't balanced right," she declared. "Haven't you got one with a heavier handle?" "Fair enough," said the director. "Hey, Pickles, let her try that one you got." Pickles, too, was not unwilling to oblige. "That's better," said the girl. "It's balanced right."
Cap'n Abernethy picked up a cutlass, "hefted" it thoughtfully, rolled his sleeve back upon a lean and sinewy old arm that was tanned until it looked like a piece of weathered oak, spat upon his hand and whirled the weapon till it whistled in the air. "I come of a seafarin' fambly," said the Cap'n, sententiously. As for Kuroki, he said nothing. He was not given to speech at any time.
Bemoaning thus, by dumous path, they crushed the cycad's growth, And many a crash, and thunder, marked the progress of them both. And when they reached the estuary, the excandescent sun Was setting o'er the hefted sea; their saurian day was done. Then raised they paraseline eyes unto the flaming moon, And wept the Neocomian Age was passing all too soon!
He was boasting of his luck at the mines. A companion "hefted" the treasure admiringly. "Did you make it gamblin', Alec?" he inquired. "No, by Harry!" said the other, tartly. "I'm no gambler any more. I'm a respectable gentleman with a mine and a ranch," he emptied his glass and, smacking his lips, continued, "and a beautiful young girl that loves me ... loves me. Understand?"
Say, I've got some real fizz I'll open if all you'll come over to the Tivoli with me." Later, back in the cabin, Shorty silently overhauled and hefted the various bulging gold-sacks. He finally piled them on the table, sat down on the edge of his bunk, and began taking off his moccasins. "Seventy thousan'," he calculated. "It weighs three hundred and fifty pounds.
Tarzan of the Apes felt of each article, hefted the spears, smelled of them, for he "saw" largely through his sensitive and highly trained nostrils. He determined to own one of these long, pointed sticks, but he could not take one on this trip because of the arrows he meant to carry. As he took each article from the walls, he placed it in a pile in the center of the room.
That's all I ask." "I hefted this thing once, and that's enough. You move, Sam. I've got a .38 in my belt, and I went to Rome, Italy, for the Olympics about the time you were getting yourself born, Sam. I ought to be able to hit a target as big as you. Just go ahead and do as you're told." Collins turned desperately towards Candle. Maybe Nancy had been right, maybe he had been imagining things.
The big miner had taken Roger Hunter's gun from the case, and hefted it in his hand, started to check it automatically as Tom talked. But now his hand froze as he stared at the weapon. "What's wrong?" Tom asked. "This gun is wrong," Johnny said. "All wrong. Where did you get this thing?" "From Dad's spacer pack, the one the Patrol brought back. The Major gave it to us in Sun Lake City."
Lines of traps hung on the walls, along with the wooden boards for the stretching of drying skins, and there was a half-finished grass basket lying on top of the chest. Val hefted a stoneware jug. They had no time to hunt for a spring. And if this contained water, they would need it.
