We could not see till the smoke lifted. "Your man is down, Ben; and I can see my man running away, but he limps." "His toes may be frost-bitten, Mac." "They weren't five minutes ago." Our last fire completely routed the French, and they gave up the pursuit. Two Rangers were killed; one of them was next to me as he fell. The regular who went with us was shot, and an Indian was wounded.
There, my dear child! put down the cup and yield your place to this elderly gentleman who treads so tenderly over the paving-stones that I suspect he is afraid of breaking them. What! he limps by without so much as thanking me, as if my hospitable offers were meant only for people who have no wine-cellars. Well, well, sir, no harm done, I hope?
"Thou wilt be for hanging him thyself ere thou have made a day's journey with him on the king's highway, which is not like these forest paths, I would have thee to know. Why, he limps already." "Then I'll carry him," said Stephen, doggedly. "What hast thou to say to that device, Ambrose?" asked John, appealing to the elder and wiser.
In between games he limps round, stiff as a hat tree and sore as a mashed thumb. Time was when he might mingle in the mystic mazes of the waltz, tripping the light fantastic toe or stubbing it, as the case may be.
"Now, after telling how many foes they have ahead, the scout tries to mark each one in some way so they can be distinguished all through the letter. Here's a fellow who seems to be one-armed, for he always appears that way. A second is very tall, you notice, while a third is a dwarf, and a fourth limps a little, for his leg is bent some in every picture.
"What a fine face that girl has," said Lyon Berners, as she withdrew. "Yes; and what a sweet voice!" answered Sybil. "But she is very pale, and she limps as she walks; did you notice?" "Yes; I suppose she has ill health probably the same malady that carried off her mother, and all her sisters and brothers." "Very likely." "Consumption?" suggested Sybil. "Scrofula," sententiously replied Lyon.
Wounded vanity knows when it is mortally hurt; and limps off the field, piteous, all disguises thrown away. But pride carries its banner to the last; and fast as it is driven from one field unfurls it in another, never admitting that there is a shade less honor in the second field than in the first, or in the third than in the second; and so on till death.
"Now you're asking. "Old Em'ly she limps, And as " "I am so tired," said Rickie. Why should he stand it any longer? He would go home to the woman he loved. "Do you mind if I give up Salisbury?" "But we've seen nothing!" cried Stephen. "I shouldn't enjoy anything, I am so absurdly tired." "Left turn, then all in the day's work." He bit at his moustache angrily.
He read as follows: "Height, 19 feet; length from apex of forehead insertion of tail, 26 feet; length of trunk, 16 feet; length of tail, 6 feet; total length, including trunk, and tail, 48 feet; length of tusks, 9 feet; ears keeping with these dimensions; footprint resembles the mark left when one up-ends a barrel in the snow; the color of the elephant, a dull white; has a hole the size of a plate in each ear for the insertion of jewelry and possesses the habit in a remarkable degree of squirting water upon spectators and of maltreating with his trunk not only such persons as he is acquainted with, but even entire strangers; limps slightly with his right hind leg, and has a small scar in his left armpit caused by a former boil; had on, when stolen, a castle containing seats for fifteen persons, and a gold-cloth saddle-blanket the size of an ordinary carpet."
God knows all he does for the poor baby; how he cheerfully carries him in his arms when he himself is weak and ill; how he feeds him when he himself is griped with want; how he folds his ragged jacket round him, lays his little worn face with a woman's tenderness upon his sunburnt breast, soothes him in his sufferings, sings to him as he limps along, unmindful of his own parched and bleeding feet.
