Trigger sighed. "Oh, they're quite inconspicuous and convenient," he assured her. "We checked with the girls on that." "I'll bet!" she said. "Did they okay the porgee pouch too?" "Sure. Porgee doping is a big thing all over the Hub at the moment. Among the ladies anyway. Shows you're the delicate sort, or something like that. I forget what they said. Want to start carrying it?"
We had a hundred or so photos of flying saucers, both stills and movies. Many were fakes some so expert that it took careful study by photo interpreters to show how the photos had been faked. Some were the crudest of fakes, automobile hub caps thrown into the air, homemade saucers suspended by threads, and just plain retouched negatives.
The hub cap, of course, might have been removed while the chariots were still on the boat, but in that event its loss would no doubt have been noticed, for the caps were of brass, large and prominent. Phil decided that the act must have been committed just before the chariots were driven into the arena for the Roman races. In this, Phil Forrest was right.
He was observing the buildings, the nature of them, the exits from the dome, how they could best be reached. They stood on the roof of the largest and central building, a low metal structure with four wings, crossing at right angles to make the figure of a great plus mark. The hub was probably Dr. Ku's chief laboratory, Carse conjectured.
A transfigured cattle-pen Emerson the hub of Concord His incorrigible modesty Grocery-store sages To make common men feel more like Emerson than he did His personal appearance His favorite gesture A glance like the reveille of a trumpet The creaking boots "The muses are in the woods" Emerson could not read Hawthorne Typical versus individual Benefit from child-prattle Concord-grape Bull Sounds of distant battle Politics, sociology, and grape- culture The great white fence Richard Henry Stoddard A country youth of genius Whipple's Attic salt An unwritten romance The consulship retires literature Louisa's tragedy Hard hit The spiritual sphere of good men Nearer than in the world The return of the pilgrim.
When a few minutes on the rail has carried you outside the hub as it were of London, among the quiet tree-skirted villas, the night reigns as completely as in the solitudes of the country. Perhaps even more so, for the solitude is somehow more apparent.
Some day I'm going to walk down those rows and give them each a blast where it will do the most good. It will be worth being broken for." Trigger said, "I thought that catassin planet was being guarded." "It is. It would be very hard to sneak one out nowadays. But somebody's breeding them in the Hub. Just a few. Keeps the price up." Trigger grimaced uncomfortably.
Prince helped Lee in and took the place of the boy who had driven it out. Clanton put his foot on the hub of the wheel. "Just a minute, Billie. I'm wanted for the killin' of Homer Webb. I didn't shoot him an' I don't know who did. Somebody must have been lyin' there in the chaparral waitin' for him. I'll give myself up an' stand trial if you'll guarantee me fair play. No lynchin' bee.
James's was the hub, or nave, where all the spokes of the great wheel of the machine terminated; and that the laboring people, manufacturers, and merchants were doomed, all their days, to grease this wheel. It is remarkable that David, the royal Psalmist, among the severest of the curses bestowed on his enemies, expressly says, "Lord, make them like unto a wheel."
You don't hear much more than coyotes and the river and the pines and, if you're looking for high lights, you can sure see the stars ..." She climbed up to her seat, using the hub of her wheel for a foothold, and springing with surprising agility and strength. Sheila stepped aside and the horse started instantly. She made a few hurried steps to keep up.
