Morse, looking round, missed a familiar feature. "Where's the liquor?" he asked. "S-sh!" warned the clerk with whom he was talking. "Haven't you heard? There's a bunch of police come into the country from Winnipeg. The lid's on tight." His far eye drooped to the cheek in a wise wink. "If you've brought in whiskey, you'd better get it out of the fort and bury it." "That's up to West.
The others, struggling into life-belts, clung to the stanchions or whatever they could find. Steve crawled back with the coil, drenched and breathless. "We've got to get off, fellows," he said. "It's only a dozen yards to the beach and we can make it all right. Close every hatch. Ossie, fetch a can of biscuits. See that the lid's tight."
He took off his hat and threw it high in the air and opened his arms wide and emitted a whoop of sheer joy and relief. "Welcome home! Home!" She clung to him. "Oh, Hosey, isn't it wonderful? How big it looks! Huge!" "Land, yes." He strode from hall to dining-room, from kitchen to library. "I know how a jack-in-the-box feels when the lid's opened. No wonder it grins and throws out its arms."
We all know that girls are born to be married and that the best of them long to have children. Why shouldn't they own it? You owned it long ago when you bought her dolls. The lid is off false reticences. I hope it stays off; we shall be a much honester world." "The lid's off! That's the phrase I was searching for." Sir Tobias leant forward confidentially.
He showed it to me when I was a little girl. I don't expect he thought I would remember, but I did. You take off the brass corners on top, and then the lower part of the lid drops out. The lid's in two pieces and you could put papers or bank notes in between." I couldn't help smiling. "Aren't you rather foolish to tell me?" I suggested. She looked at me appealingly. "Am I?" she asked.
"Maybe dat's to let de air in and de lid's to keep de hydrogum from gettin' out," volunteered the colored boy. Ned was too busy to answer the one or to laugh at the other. He had unlocked the lid and thrown it back. About six inches beneath the top of the case stood eight iron boxes two rows with four boxes in each.
Fill up the kettle, too, there's a dear. I'm a reckless scalder. Why, the stove lid's under that kettle. I wondered why it wasn't hotter." "Wait till I find the hooker," cried Minty, diving down under the stove in search of the iron. "Minty Foster, how many times have I told you never to take that hooker off the string?" said her mother reprovingly.
She is blowing in your money secretly. I was a sufferer just as you are. The place is No. 345 Blank Street. A word to the wise, etc. Turpin took this letter to the captain of police of the precinct that he lived in. "My precinct is as clean as a hound's tooth," said the captain. "The lid's shut down as close there as it is over the eye of a Williamsburg girl when she's kissed at a party.
Upon the last lid's polished field Legend now both fair and true A gallant knight bears on his shield, "Amy" in letters gold and blue.
The lid's on the ice-cream freezer in this precinct." Claude Turpin's wife was among the patrons of the raided room. He led her to their apartment in stem silence. There she wept so remorsefully and besought his forgiveness so pleadingly that he forgot his just anger, and soon he gathered his penitent golden-haired Vivien in his arms and forgave her.
