You can tell by the ridge of loose earth that they're there, and if you think you've located Mr. Mole, and jab a stick down, why he's somewhere else, nine times in ten. I used to call them Baumbergers, even then. Dad," she finished reminiscently, "was always jabbing his law stick down where the earth seemed to move but he never located old Baumberger, to my knowledge."
One wicked jab, and the precious high note broke in a wild "ouch" of pain. The bleachers laughed uproariously. "Within the camp they lie, the young, the brave; Half knight, half schoolboy, acolytes of fame; Pledged to one altar, and perchance one grave."
He pulled up short and then saluted the old gentleman with a stab of forefinger at his hat-brim. "Any trouble, Judge?" he inquired, affably. "None at all," replied the old gentleman, edging away from the fully garbed fence-post. "Airing 'em out, hey?" A jab of the forefinger toward the garments. "No, leaving them out." All at once the old gentleman appeared to remember something else.
I thought you were your father's son, but I guess you are like the rest of 'em, hunters of women." Courtlandt laughed and stepped to the middle of the court. Harrigan did not waste any time. He sent in a straight jab to the jaw, but Courtlandt blocked it neatly and countered with a hard one on Harrigan's ear, which began to swell. "Fine!" growled Harrigan. "You know something about the game.
Trevison went in again with the grim purpose of discovering just how strong his antagonist was. Corrigan evaded a stiff left jab intended for his chin, and his own right cross missed as Trevison ducked into a clinch. With arms locked they strained, legs braced, their lungs heaving as they wrestled, doggedly. Corrigan stood like a post, not giving an inch.
Look yer, pardner!" he suddenly dragged up his sleeve from his red, hairy arm, exposing a blue cicatrix in its centre "that's a jab from her scissors about three months ago; look yer!" he bent his head and showed a scar along the scalp "that's her playfulness with a fire shovel!
Its discipline was strict. If a boy left the ranks to jab a spectator, or make faces at a window, or "go for" a striped snake, he was "hollered" at no end. It was altogether a very serious business; there was no levity about the hot and hard marching, and as boys have no humor, nothing ludicrous occurred.
"'Come on, Knapp! says I, and bundles out after them, holloaing like a regiment. One or two turned, and there was a bit of a barney. I stuck one chap, and was just going to stick another a fellow in blue jumping around in a queer kind of way when all of a sudden he gave a jab in the back to one of his own chaps.
But it needs more 'n a little jab like that to bring Mr. Robert out of his Romeo trance. Honest, the way he carries on is amazin'. You might have thought this was the first case on record where a girl who'd said she wouldn't had changed her mind. And, so far as any other happenin's was concerned, he might have been deaf, dumb, and blind.
I got all around the companies, and went back to the colonel, and told him that I had delivered his invitation, but the most of the captains sent regrets in one way and another, and one was going to jab me with a saber.
