He was jerking a saddle on the back of Gray Peter, and in sixty seconds he would be tearing out of Los Toros. In the same space Andrew was in his own saddle with a flying leap and spurring out of the trees. By one thing he knew the utter desperation of Hal Dozier. For the man had fired while Andrew's back was turned.
He's a swell. He's waiting for Augustine, no doubt." But Augustine, a tall, ugly, fair-haired girl, sourly answered that she did not like old men; whereupon Madame Lerat, jerking her head, answered with a smile full of underhand meaning: "That is a great mistake on your part, my dear; the old ones are more affectionate."
Medlock, speaking with a Yorkshire accent herself and jerking her head over her shoulder toward Mary. "How's thy Missus?" "Well enow. Th' carriage is waitin' outside for thee." A brougham stood on the road before the little outside platform. Mary saw that it was a smart carriage and that it was a smart footman who helped her in.
Seizing that opportunity, Ahab first paid out more line; and then was rapidly hauling and jerking in upon it again hoping that way to disencumber it of some snarls when lo! a sight more savage than the embattled teeth of sharks!
He sat down abruptly on his haunches, thrusting his nose upward, the mouth opening and closing with jerking movements, each time opening wider. These jerking movements were in unison with the recurrent spasms that attacked the throat, each spasm severer and more intense than the preceding one.
When a bird, without visible provocation, suddenly burst out with this loud two-note call, instantly every feathered individual was on the alert, sprang to arms, as it were. Blue jays joined in, robins hurried to the tops of the tallest trees and added their excited notes, with jerking wings and tail, and at the second or third repetition the whole party precipitated itself as one bird upon what?
Also, the bats continually flew into my face and clung to my hair, and I have a great dislike of bats. At last, after some minutes of jerking and dangling, I found myself standing in a narrow passage by the side of the worthy Ali, covered with bats and perspiration, and with the skin rubbed off my knees and knuckles.
He sprang from Comstock, and jerking Tad from Lasar, whom the lad was making heroic efforts to hold down, pulled the fallen rascal to his feet. "Get out, both of you!" he commanded, covering both his visitors with his weapon. Lasar, in struggling to his feet, reached for his revolver. "Drop it or I'll fill you full of lead!"
Shrimps carry their eggs about with them; no doubt you have often found masses of eggs under the Shrimp's body. Each egg is fastened by a kind of "glue," or else the rapid jerking of the mother Shrimp would soon loosen the eggs and set them free. The hard, shelly covering of the Shrimp and Prawn is like the armour of the crab it will not stretch in the least.
"I've got him, Mr. Sparling!" "Leggo of me! What's the matter with you? Anybody would think this was a high school initiation." "Teddy," groaned Phil. "What's that?" demanded the showman jerking Phil and his prisoner over to an open window through which a faint light was showing. "It is Teddy Tucker, sir," said Phil releasing his hold.
