THE CHILDREN: Where's the great light? He jerks on. A pigmy woman swings on a rope slung between two railings, counting. A form sprawled against a dustbin and muffled by its arm and hat snores, groans, grinding growling teeth, and snores again. On a step a gnome totting among a rubbishtip crouches to shoulder a sack of rags and bones.
It does not last so long as the oak, but it is more elastic and can better resist sudden shocks and jerks; it is therefore particularly desirable for the spokes of wheels and ladders and the beams of floors. Staircases were made of it in olden times, and they may still be found in some English halls and abbeys.
"Well, you know," she answered between stitches, drawing the needle through the cloth with angry little jerks, "Bud, he never quite believed Dick was dead." Echo rose hastily. The vague, haunting half-thoughts of weeks were crystallized on the instant. She felt as if Dick was trying to speak to her from out of the great beyond. With a shudder she into a chair at the table opposite Polly.
Death appeared to be mainly due to asphyxia, and the only certain sign that it had taken place was the loss of knee jerks. On the other hand, too high a temperature hurries on the metabolism of the various tissues at such a rate that their capital is soon exhausted. Blood that is too warm produces dyspnoea and soon exhausts the metabolic capital of the respiratory centre.
He recited jerks of verse with odd glances at the text: Weep no more, woful shepherds, weep no more For Lycidas, your sorrow, is not dead, Sunk though he be beneath the watery floor... It must be a movement then, an actuality of the possible as possible.
Who air they?" asked her mother. "Two of the biggest swells in town." "Well, what on earth do they want here? We ain't very swell." "Perhaps they want me to report some party or something," said Lena. She was losing no time in giving her hair one or two becoming jerks and going through a series of wriggles meant to impart grace and style to her costume.
"I haven't quite got my bearings. I can't tell you how queerly this sort of thing affects me." "You mean civilization?" she hazarded. "Yes. And yet I've come back to it." Of course she did not ask him why. Their talk was like the starting of a heavy train a series of jerks; and yet both were aware of an irresistible forward traction.
There is a story I try to tell, but something gets into my throat, and I tell it in jerks when I can. It is the story of the men who played football across the open between the enemy's line of trenches and our own when it was raked by fire. When I had finished, a friend of mine, evidently waiting for the end of a pointless story, said, "What did they do that for?"
He broke off with one of his violent jerks of the head, almost threatening to dislocate his neck, and looked at her fixedly. "It is because you have grown into a woman since I went away." And out came his accusing finger, though Desiree had her back turned towards him, and there was none other to see. "Ah!" he said, with deadly contempt, "I see, I see!"
Though man is of all others the most curious vehicle, said my father, yet at the same time 'tis of so slight a frame, and so totteringly put together, that the sudden jerks and hard jostlings it unavoidably meets with in this rugged journey, would overset and tear it to pieces a dozen times a day was it not, brother Toby, that there is a secret spring within us.
