"The worst you can say of it is, that it is Arcadian." "How did it go off, Daisy?" said Gary McFarlane. "I don't know," said Daisy. "I think it went off pretty well." "How did the hob-nails behave themselves?" "They had lots of things to eat," said Ransom. "I don't believe we shall have any strawberries for a day or two ourselves." "Did you give them strawberries?" said Mrs. Gary.
Faulkner had been found, made for a large tree some thirty yards to the left. "Just as I thought," Mr. Henderson said. "Someone has been standing here, and, I should think, for some little time. You can see that the ground is kicked up a bit, and, though it was too hard to show the marks of the boots plainly, there are many scratches and grooves, such as would be made by hob-nails.
The girl was half naked in her rags; her shirt scarcely hung to her shoulders, and she fastened the stag-horn buttons on her jacket. Her breeches, which left both knees bare, were of leather and held out pretty well, but the heavy wool stockings gaped, and, had it not been for the hob-nails, the soles must have fallen from her hunter's shoes.

Look at the footprints in the morning and see for yourself." "Wait!" exclaimed Miss Briggs. "I have a thought." "Hold it," called Hippy. "We need real thought this very minute."
Now and again, Isak would go too far, and grow mysterious; one Friday he declared that it was harder for a camel to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a human being to thread the eye of a needle.

He was a short, fat man, in faded shirt and overalls; and on his feet he wore a pair of gunboat brogans, thickly studded on the bottom with hob-nails. A space of six inches between the tops of his shoes and the worn-off edge of his trousers exposed his shrunken shanks, and he carried a stick which might serve for cane or club as circumstances demanded.

An X-ray photograph of your liver would show something that looked like a crumpled oak-leaf studded with hob-nails. You ought to take more exercise, dear heart. Except for sloshing that policeman, you haven't done anything athletic for years." "I wish you wouldn't harp on that affair!" Reggie sat down on the bed.
