A knock-kneed man who knows how to use a machine-gun and has one to use which is also quite important could mow down all the leading heavy-weights of the United States and England, with the latest champion leading the charge. Now, this regular who won our little wars was not representative of the people as a whole. He was the man "down on his luck," who went to the recruiting depot.
"It shore sounds like it," acquiesced Johnny, red in the face from holding in his laughter, "an' say, somebody interferes." "All knock-kneed animals do, yu heathen," supplied Red. "Hey, yu, let up on that and have a drink on th' house," invited Cowan. "If I gits that durn war whoop I'll make yu think there's been a cyclone. I'll see how long that bum hangs around this here burg, I will."
You might use her for your Greek picture." The master cast at him a glance of pity for his ignorance. He felt a desire to scoff at her, to injure her, thus justifying his indifference. "Nothing but a façade. A face and a figure." And bending over toward his friend he whispered to him seriously as if he were revealing the secret of a terrible crime. "She's knock-kneed. A regular swindle."
Smolley was dozing. But I was in agony with thirst and heat and weariness. My horse, a gift from the Chief which I had not been wise enough to try out on a short journey before undertaking such a trip, was as stiff as a wooden horse. I told the Chief I knew Mescal was knock-kneed and stiff-legged. "Oh, no," was the casual reply, "he's a little stiff in the shoulders from his fall." "What fall?"
There was an old, knock-kneed, raw-boned, one-eyed, little-winded, heavy-headed mare with her also.
Many a hot argument have we had about Boer and Briton; and I'm afraid he thinks me but a knock-kneed imperialist. September 10. Monday. To my great delight, Henry turned up as an inmate here, the commanding officer at the convalescent camp having most kindly managed his transference, with some difficulty.
"If I could help to win them back again! That would be fine! How sick that would make those cursed Bodies and their knock-kneed Crown Prince!" At the little village of the headquarters behind Verdun he found many old friends and companions. They greeted him with cheerful irony. "Behold the prodigal! You took your time about coming back, didn't you?
"Jeff Tuttle, you dashed old long-horn!" exclaimed Cousin Egbert. "Good old Sour-dough!" exploded the other. "Ain't this just like old home week!" "I thought mebbe you wouldn't know me with all my beadwork and my new war-bonnet on," continued Cousin Egbert. "Know you, why, you knock-kneed old Siwash, I could pick out your hide in a tanyard!" "Well, well, well!" replied Cousin Egbert.
"You are all I have now," she would say to me after the cupboard was bare. "Whatever you do, don't get married, my child. These men are all alike. Some of them begin to get knock-kneed as soon as you marry them, and others have great fat middles. You have your choice in these offenses to good taste." The old fox was wasting breath, though, for I had less notions for men than ever before.
I stood a while at the end of the "Bull" gateway. There was a comical-looking little knock-kneed fellow in the middle of the street a wandering minstrel, well known in Preston by the name of "Whistling Jack." There he stood, warbling and waving his band, and looking from side to side, in vain. At last I got him to whistle the "Flowers of Edinburgh."
