When the last lingering strains had died away and the violinist-leader, having straightened out the kinks in his person which the rendition of the melody never failed to produce, had bowed for the last time, a clear, musical voice spoke from the other side of the pillar. "Jimmy Crocker is a WORM!" Jimmy spilled his cocktail. It might have been the voice of Conscience.
Kent glanced at her, approved mentally of the color in her cheeks and the angry light in her eyes, and laughed at her quite openly. "There's nothing like getting good and mad once in a while, to take the kinks out of your brain," he observed. "And there's nothing like lonesomeness to put 'em in. A good fighting mad is what you need, now and then; I'll have to put Man next, I guess. He's too mild."
"No, not now, mother." Ellen sat on an arm of Henry's chair. "Your hair would curl if you were to encourage it," she remarked. "Has anybody said anything about curly hair?" he asked. "No, but I was just thinking that yours might curl." "Do you want me to look like Brooks?" She frowned. "He kinks his with a hot poker. I don't like pretty men." "How about handsome men?" "Oh, I have to like them.
Again, we may decry the color prejudice of the South, yet it remains a heavy fact. Such curious kinks of the human mind exist and must be reckoned with soberly. They cannot be laughed away, nor always successfully stormed at, nor easily abolished by act of legislature. And yet they cannot be encouraged by being let alone.
We were both a little tired by the time we got back in the afternoon to the path to the river, and an hour or two after, when we crossed the sands, and slid off our elephant's back at the river's edge, we had to take kinks out of our lower extremities, and even our elephant seemed very exhausted as it stood in the shallows, and slowly lifted water in its trunk and squirted it into its mouth.
"That's because you ain't up to the latest kinks," said Shorty, hopefully. "I've been back to the rear just come from Jeffersonville and I've got on to a lot of new dodges. I'll show 'em all to you for one o' them guns." The waver in the Sergeant's face showed the temptation was a trying one, but he answered firmly: "No; I won't do it."
These is new potatoes, sir early rosers. There's no end to their cussed kinks. When I see you prancin' round under the winder with that there saddle, I says at once to Martha, 'Martha, here's a luny!" "A very natural conclusion," said Lynde meekly. "Wasn't it now?" "And if you had shot me to death," said Lynde, helping himself to another chop, "I should have been very much obliged to you." Mr.
Do you remember how you used to rub the kinks out of it? I have spent hours and hours with the great men of the world. I have seen wonderful beauty and glorious sunshine. We shall have great times when we are together again, childy, telling one another the stories of these days we have been parted. You shall tell me something first and then I will tell you.
Sun had gone to bed behind the Purple Hills that night, Unc' Billy crept out of his home in the hollow tree. "Where are yo' going?" demanded Mrs. Possum. "Just to stretch the kinks out of mah legs," replied Unc' Billy. Old Mrs. Possum looked after him suspiciously. "Don't yo' go fo' to do any foolishness!" she called. Unc' Billy didn't answer. He was on his way to Farmer Brown's hen-house.
The Indians and the habitans bring them out of the woods from here and from Snow Lake, on their toboggans, from two and a half to three feet long. They have kinks and ways of their own. About half a mile above camp we discovered a deep oval bay to one side of the main current of the river, that evidently abounded in big fish. Here they disported themselves.
