He seized the coil of lasso rope and hung it around his neck, then raising the canvas, he pulled it over his head like a shawl and pinned it about him with the steel clutch of his fingers, one hand at neck and one below. Up through the blazing woods he started with the leaden weight of this dripping winding sheet upon him and catching in the hubbly obstructions in his path.
Winifred says Martha says Ellen came back up to Washington yesterday for the wedding of a friend hastily arranged to an army officer suddenly ordered somewhere old friend of Ellen's former bridesmaid of hers, I believe. She " Burns had stopped short in the middle of the hubbly, half-frozen street they were crossing. "How long does she stay in Washington?" "I don't know. Ask Win.
It was quite dark when Tom scrambled down and, with his heart beating rapidly, stole cautiously across the hubbly ground toward the dilapidated brush fence which enclosed the place. The disturbing thought occurred to him that where there were sheep there was likely to be a dog, but he would not turn back.
But the snow-ice on Milton Pond was "hubbly" and not nice to skate on, while there were only a few patches of smooth ice anywhere in town. Therefore the boys never failed to flood the interior of the snow castle each night before they went home. They did this easily by means of a short piece of fire-hose attached to the nearby hydrant.
It was amazing how readily Tom assumed that Pee-wee would do just what he had done to elude pursuit. "Tree's always a suspicious thing," said he; "this is a Boer wrinkle comes from South Africa." He did not bother hunting for the tracks in the hubbly ground, but made straight for the tree. "Poor kid," was all he could say as he picked up a few freshly fallen leaves and a twig or two.

I've rode twelve miles over a hubbly road an' waited 'round here all day, jest t' hear a spear o' female grass screech, an' see a pint bottle o' water busted! Come along! I'm goin' home."
Having fastened his sign to the tree trunk he proceeded to explore the island. This was done mainly with his eyes since the island was too small for the usual form of exploration. It consisted of a little spot of land about fifteen feet in diameter, held together by the roots of the tree. It was hubbly and grass-covered and one side of it had a kind of ragged edge.
Jaroth's horses managed to trample the drifts into something like a hubbly path for the broad sled-runners to slip oven They went on, almost always mounting a grade, for four hours before they came to a human habitation. The driver pointed his whipstock to a black speck before them and higher up the hill which was sharply defined against the background of pure white.
Pepsy was ready enough to defer to the master mind, the more so because this approach of their first probable customers gave her a kind of stage fright. She was seized with sudden terror and the dishpan full of doughnuts shook in her hands as she placed it in full view by Pee-wee's order. The auto was evidently picking its way along the hubbly road in second gear.
