To one who will take the trouble to recall the variety of woods, thickets, and jungles that go to make up a wooded country especially in the creek bottoms where a logging road finds often its levelest way and the piles of windfalls, vines, bushes, and scrubs that choke the thickets with a discouraging and inextricable tangle, the clearing of five miles to street width will look like an almost hopeless undertaking.
I don't deny it was to my interests to keep you back, so I could get to Californy first, and I tried my levelest. But you've beat me, and here you are. I'm a fair man; I know when I'm licked, and I don't bear you ill-will. Understand?
"Tell your mistress that I'm very much obliged to her, but have made other arrangements. Explain to her I appreciate the offer just the same." The lad hesitated, and Dick pushed him into decision. "That's all right, Juan José Pedro Francisco whatever your name is. You've done your levelest. Now, hike back to the ranch. Vamos! Sabe." "Si, señor."
Why, she'd begin to doubt, right away, and imagine a lot of sicknesses and dangers and objections, and first you know she'd take it all back. You lemme alone; I reckon I know how to work her." Now I never would 'a' thought of that. But he was right. Tom Sawyer was always right the levelest head I ever see, and always AT himself and ready for anything you might spring on him.
Suppose, Julian, you had a squad of recruits and wanted to ascertain at a glance their difference in height, what sort of ground would you select to line them up on?" "The levelest piece I could find, of course."
He also had a great fund of common-sense, but love is inimical to that rare commodity, and under the blind god's distorting influence the levelest head will, in time, become conical. So it happened that, after many months of cautious manoeuvring, Williams began to make mistakes.
He placed his hat and a light bamboo stick across the center table, obviously oppressed with a sense of close quarters. "Tell you what! Suppose we taxi over to Claremont. It's mild enough to sit out on the terrace." She met him with her levelest gaze. "Aren't you going to be comfortable here?" "Of course I am. There you go, getting sensitive right off.
He told me, that the nearest and levelest way was now impassable, by reason of many large miry savannas; that we must be obliged to go by Venango, and should not get to the near fort in less than five or six nights sleep, good travelling.
Under the big pine tree, where the ground was the levelest of any place in the yard, Alice had them spread out all their burrs. "Now," she said when the burrs were ready, "you make them stick together so. Make eight rows of six burrs each. That will be the floor of the house. Then start up the sides for walls." Frances and Mary Jane got the idea in a minute and they set to work in a jiffy.
Modred cast behind him a timid and uncertain eye; the virgin passed along, no longer terrible, a fair and milk white hind. Modred inflamed with disappointment, reared his ponderous boar spear, and hurled it from his hand. Too well, ah, cruel and untutored swain! thou levelest thy aim. Her tender side is gored; her spotless and snowy coat is deformed with blood.
