Among the whole population of the Peninsula, there is only one person with a hunch back, and two or three who are lame. During the day they work or rest; but the night is reserved for dancing and conversation. As soon as the sun has set, the tambourine is heard, the women sing; the whole population is animated; love and the ball set every body in motion.
I've a hunch that we can handle Wharton all right through booze. A man can be made to marry anybody if he's drunk enough." "He's about ready to ask her SHE'S the one to fix. She hates men, though, and that Merkle story made her crazy." "Sore, eh?" "She talked the Dutch route thinks her good name is gone, and regards every man as a hyena." Melcher pondered for several moments.
"Well," said he, "I had a hunch you might need a new rig for the summer Votes campaign, or something. I thought maybe you'd want the very latest Berber styles, and would ask her to send a tip over. Then I thought you'd string her the local gossip, how Mrs. Byrd's baby will be born in October, and you don't think her looking as fit as she might.
"Let her take off her blanket," he repeated, with all the aimless persistency of age. Did I say that the man had grown close to my heart? Why, I could have shaken him. But the Englishman cut the knot. He turned with a hunch of the shoulder, and peered at us over the corner of his blanket. Gesture, and roll of the head, he was an Indian.
What more do you want?" "Don't be in a hurry, Albeen," advised Billie. "It's easy to start something. We all know you burn powder quick. You're a sure-enough bad man. But I've got a hunch it's goin' to be your funeral as well as mine if once the band begins to play." "That so?" replied Albeen with heavy sarcasm. "You talk like you was holdin' a royal flush, my friend."
On a hunch, Rick got out of the car and walked to the trash can where Scotty had put the cement bag. The bag was gone. Plan of Attack Rick awoke to the sound of wind, a sign that the storm traveling northward from the middle south was approaching. He groaned. If the storm arrived before nightfall, the annual Sons of the Dominion affair would be postponed.
Then, when his trial comes up at the spring assizes, the charge of murder can be placed against him. I'll bet a year's pay, MacNair isn't to blame. In the meantime we will get busy and comb the barrens for the real criminals. I've got a hunch. And you can take my word that justice shall be done, no matter where the blow falls."
And besides the hedges and gravel paths I have a feeling that Dickie's father and the Crag and Sallie's girl-babies are fomenting around in my mind getting ready to pop the cork of an idea soon. The combination feels like some kind of a hunch I sat still for a long time and let it seethe, while I took stock of the situation.
His hand, for all his drinking, was calm and steady, his handsome eyes clear and cold and resolute. "Hunch," he said curtly, "if you touch that bottle again, I'll break it over your head. You're drunk now." To Jokai his voice trailed off into curious nothingness. Somewhere he knew in a room stifling hot and hazy with the fumes of vile tobacco there was a voice, musical, detached and very far away.
You have a hunch that we may just be unlucky enough to run across some of those ragged chaps, who want to upset the present government of Colombia, and seat some old ex-president fossil in the chair again." "Anyhow, you're a fine guesser, Andy," admitted Frank. "Then that's what was on your mind?" asked the other.
