Jack also asked the judge for the curious ring, as he thought he might have to use it on his western trip. "You must take good care of it, Jack," the lawyer said. "No telling what may hinge on it." "If anyone gets it away from me he'll have the hardest proposition he ever tackled," Jack said earnestly.
She led me downstairs to the foot of the lowest staircase, which was rather broad, with high steps of stout old oak. "Look," she said, as she stepped away from me I suppose to touch some secret spring "this is the drawing-room." As she spoke, the two lowest stairs suddenly rolled back upon a sort of hinge, showing a little room, not much bigger than a couple of barrels, arranged underneath them.
In the pine woods behind the shore marsh, a bluejay called, its voice like a squeaky hinge. The motor sound was distant now, and the shore upstream blocked Rick's view. Then, as he watched, a long, low, white motorboat came into sight. Its bow was vertical, its sides low. There was no cabin. Amidships was a single man, clad in overalls and a denim shirt.
The outer door stood half-open, and disclosed a miserable scene of domestic desolation. The absence of everything that could make home really home was the conspicuous feature. There was a table, it is true; but then it was comparatively useless in its disabled state one of the leaves hanging down, and just held on by one unbroken hinge, reminding you of a man with his arm in a sling.
La Cibot was the hinge upon which the whole matter turned; and for this reason, any rebellion on the part of the instrument must be at once put down; such action on her part was quite unexpected; but Fraisier had put forth all the strength of his rancorous nature, and the audacious portress lay trampled under his feet. "Come, reassure yourself, my dear madame," he remarked, holding out his hand.
To intensify the latter and multiply the number of blows, the clapper spring is prolonged over the fulcrum and bent back so as to form a spring, which is tightened by the lifting of the flap, and sends the clapper down on the bell with increased force. The hinge of the flap does not require any lubrication besides what it gets through the steam.
Hollis remained standing. He looked at his visitor in surprise. "Please make that clear, Mr. Bromley," he said. The attorney smiled. "This is a trial case," he began. "A dozen others hinge on it. I was warned to be prepared for anything; so, when my attention was called to that article in Sampson's Magazine, my suspicions were instantly awake.
Was this mountain of Cones then actually a shrine an idol of the Metal People their God? The oblong that was the upper half of the cruciform Shape extended now at right angles to the horizontal arms. It hovered, a rectangle forty feet long, as many feet over the floor at the base of the crystal pedestal. It bent again, this time from the hinge that held the outstretched arms to the base.
In the act of opening, it was made to crush certain berries, and the oil they yielded, was carried by a small duct to the hinge, which was thus made to turn easily, and was prevented from creaking.
We have thus arrived at the cardinal, essential misrepresentation, out of scores which compose "The Bow of Ulysses," and upon which its phrases mainly hinge. Semper eadem "Always the same" has been the proud motto of the mightiest hierarchy that has controlled human action and shaped the destinies of mankind, no less in material than in ghostly concerns.
