Sorenson staggered, then lunged forward, tugging at something in his hip-pocket, while the table and dishes went over in a crash. Before he could draw the weapon Steele's fingers shot forth and seized his wrist; his other hand closed about Sorenson's throat in an iron grasp. Slowly under that powerful grip the younger man's struggles ceased, his eyes dilated, his knees yielded and gave way.
A very cheap revolver lurked in the hip-pocket of which Billy was so proud. In his third-floor back bed-sitting-room in Judd Street, London, W.C., he had promised himself a moment when that hip-pocket should be referred to, just in that way.
My yellow stuff! Will you see Chalmers, sissy? Call him Chalmers. He's Lockwin, just the same, but call him Chalmers." The wife kisses her husband, and puts the letter back in the drawer. "Sissy." "Yes." "I forgot one thing. Git a little mourning handkerchief out of my hip-pocket. There ain't no gun there. You needn't be afraid."
Your city was not up-to-date to help make it so you needed a street railway system; what did you do? Worked for it and got it. Not yet up-to-date? A great auditorium was needed; you put your hand into your hip-pocket and lo! it arises in, what was it, thirty days? The goal not even yet in sight? No, because better pavement was imperative and it came. Still something lacking?
And he poured into their hands about twelve shillings' worth of copper, small change of rents, from his hip-pocket. "If anything happened, that might sink me," he said, and vanished. It was very characteristic of him, that effusion of calm sagacity in a supreme emergency. Beyond getting his feet wet Denry accomplished but little in the dark basement of the pier.
With a sudden access of rage his hand suddenly went to his hip-pocket, but another hand was quicker. It was that of Fleda Druse. "No no," she said, her fingers on his wrist. "You have had your revenge. For the rest of his life he will have to bear his punishment that you have saved him. Leave him alone. It was to be. It is fate." Dennis Doane was not a man of great thinking capacity.
He sprang to the ground, and a second later she was an unconscious burden in his arms. He laid her gently on a mossy bank under an oak; then, with a face fairly livid with passion, he drew a small revolver from his hip-pocket, stepped back to the horse that now stood trembling and exhausted in the road, and shot him dead.
She's been done for a long time, but she hung on like a thoroughbred," explained Yesler from the snow-bank where Aline had fallen. He had her in his arms and was trying to get at a flask of whisky in his hip-pocket. "All right. I'll take care of her, Sam. You go ahead with your horse and break trail. I don't like the way this wind is rising.
Kurzbold rose to his feet for the third time. "Literally and figuratively, my friend Roland has me on the hip, for my hip-pocket contains no money, and it is impossible for me to refund. I imagine, if the truth were told, we are all more or less in the same condition, for we have had equipment to buy, and what-not."
Among Cary's treasured possessions was a calibre 32 Smith & Wesson, and with this pellet-propeller in his hip-pocket the boy fancied himself as dangerous as an anarchist. Twice had it been captured by paterfamilias and twice recovered, the last time at Cologne.
