"Do you know, Torchy," says he, "I haven't one left that I can guarantee; but suppose you try Miss Casey, who has just joined." She wouldn't have been my choice if I'd been doin' the pickin'. One of these tall, limber young females, Miss Casey is, about as thick as a drink of water, but strong on hair and eyes.
It's Morris, says I. 'Come, jump down! Don't you see I'm waitin' fer ye? "'Then take me, she says; and blame-don! ef the girl didn't keel right over in my arms as limber as a rag! Clean fainted away! Honest! Jest the excitement, I reckon, o' breakin' it to her so suddent-like 'cause she liked Annie, I've sometimes thought, better'n even she did her own mother.
That was one down, but the eager Scranton fans were saying to each other: "Notice that our fellows don't seem to have any trouble as yet in getting to Arthur Kinsey this fine afternoon! Oh! wait till they limber up, and you'll see them knock him out of the box." "Yes, just wait," some of the local rooters would call out, "and see how he mows your fellows down in one, two, three style.
"Fin on the starboard bow! Keep her off, Throppy!" In a short time the Barracouta was close behind the unconscious fish. From the bowsprit end burst a shout of disgust: "No good! I can see him plain! Tail's too limber! Only a shark! Swing her off, Throppy!" "How can I tell a shark from a swordfish?" Budge called down to Jim.
Donovan, standing strictly to attention, and with his eyes fixed straight to his front, drew a deep breath and rattled off: "At the order or signal from the battery leader or section commander, 'Halt action front! One orders 'Halt action front! At the order from One, the detachment dismounts, Three unkeys, and with Two lifts the trail; when the trail is clear of the hook, Three orders 'Limber drive on."
Without extreme regularity of features, the face was one that would never have passed unobserved. His short upper lip indicated a good breed; and his chestnut curls clustered over his open brow, while his shirt-collar thrown over his shoulders was unrestrained by handkerchief or ribbon. Add to this, a limber and graceful figure, which the jacket of his boyish dress exhibited to great advantage.
The guns stopped, the men got down from limber and caisson, the horses were unhitched. "An hour's sleep Kernstown battlefield!" An officer whose command lay in the field to the left, just beyond a great breach that had been made in the stone fence, arose from the cloak he had spread in the opening and came over to the guns. "Good-morning, Randolph! Farmers and soldiers see the dawn!
If he had been a vainer man, he might have been aware that he, in his way, was as well worth looking at as she in hers. He was big and limber, in the full ripeness of his youth, sunburned and level-eyed. His life in ships had marked him as plainly as a branding-iron.
The posture is exactly that which Brahma himself affects, and it requires long arms and limber legs, and can be accumulated only by gods and the india-rubber man. There is a life-size marble relief of Shri 108, S.B.S. in the garden. It represents him in this same posture. Dear me! It is a strange world. Particularly the Indian division of it.
When this procession, consisting of a dozen limbered waggons, drawn by four mules and headed by a profane person on horseback the Transport Officer has rumbled past, the Company, which has been standing respectfully in the ditch, enjoying a refreshing shower-bath of mud and hoping that none of the steel girders are projecting from the limber more than a yard or two, sets out once more upon its way only to take hasty cover again as sounds of fresh and more animated traffic are heard approaching from the opposite direction.
