I landed in a deserted barnyard, and the officer hit the earth only a short distance away. "While we were hiding there, debating just what we should do, along comes a Taube, and its pilot decides to make a landing almost at that same place. Well, the officer being a pretty good pilot, we decided to have that machine.
The Wise One reached over to a vase sitting nearby and pulled out a rose. "Shall I hit you with the bloom or with the stem?" he asked the couple. "What are you talking about?" asked the young woman. "I don't understand," said the young man. "Those who sell flowers put them in a pan of colored water and the flowers take on the color of the water," concluded The Wise One.
"Shortly. Let's get rested a bit more. And I want to fix directions straight in my mind so we'll hit the cabin first shot," Max answered. "Four miles, you said, didn't you?" Steve asked, with a big sigh; for now that the excitement was over he began to feel tired again. "That's what Uncle Jim said," remarked Max.
I must try and hit a line back towards them as soon as possible." His eyes now turned on the Panthays, busily devouring the last of their rice. "How can I talk to these chaps?" thought Jack. "I'll give them a tip. They've done me a first-rate good turn. Perhaps they'll be willing to do more if they see there's something to be got by it."
"Because I've done with the past!" he exclaimed, with sudden savagery. "And letters from home only rake it up." She looked at him narrowly. "But have we ever done with the past?" she said, with her eyes upon him. "If we think so isn't that a stupidity on our part?" "You're talking like a parson!" "Even a parson may hit upon a truth now and then." "It depends upon oneself.
After this it was perfectly quiet, and brought a measure of corn to the man-tamer, without showing the least disposition to strike with the feet or hit from the shoulder." That will do for the Houyhnhnm Gazette. Do you ever wonder why poets talk so much about flowers? Did you ever hear of a poet who did not talk about them?
As he thought of it the hard irretrievable fact of those earlier empty years struck him physically with a sharp agonising pain toothache, and no possible way of healing it. The irony of her proximity, of her desire for him as he, all unwittingly, had in reality desired her, hit him like a blow.
I think the charge struck it between the eyes, for I saw a sort of blur there just as it fell. I should have been too late; for though I might have hit it as it was in the air, it would assuredly have come down on Pita. “It was not like you, Pita. This comes of thinking while you are paddling instead of keeping your eyes on everything.”
Then I commenced. Perhaps I did hit him a little harder than I should, but I was stirred up, and meant to teach him to leave me alone after that. I guess I did it all right," and Dick, boy-like, smiled grimly as, in imagination he could see the deplorable condition of his antagonist when Ferd humbly admitted that he had had enough.
If it comes to blows well, I wouldn't want that giant to hit me," finished Tom with a laugh, as he rang the bell to announce to his servant that the visitor might be shown in. There was a sound outside the door that separated the business office from the main shop, and Tom heard Koku exclaim: "Hold on! Wait! I go first. You wait!"
