But when I realized that those sounds spelt bullets with a capital B, I decided that road wasn't as bad as I'd thought, and that anything up to thirty knots wasn't outside its limits." "Oh, you were all right," said Courtenay carelessly, "bullets can't touch you there, except a few long-distance ones that fall in enfilade over the village.
His mind listened to the faint distant scraping of Mavorovitch's approach. Winn had chosen the exact spot for slowing up for his stroke. It must be a long-distance shot or Mavorovitch would be there to intercept him, the longer, the safer, if he could get up speed enough for his swing.
The crack runner of our crowd, Purtelle, is out of trim, and they were looking for a substitute. I don't want to brag, but about the one thing in the athletic line I can do well is running." "Then you must try to fill the bill." "I'm going to. Ritchie asked me to give them a test. It's a long-distance spurt twice around the track over in the meadow where they train their horses on the stock farm.
There are many such constantly going up and down the river. Some go through to Para, but the greater number stop far short of it, making voyages only two or three hundred miles up or down, and stopping at all the villages; these are cheaper than the long-distance boats, and you would have no difficulty in exchanging into another when it reaches its furthest point.”

He was now conscious enough to note that there was tense concern in her manner. He exulted at it, and crossed and took her hand. "Right here in New York, Maggie." "In hiding?" "In mighty good hiding."
It is impossible to talk over long-distance lines anywhere in America without speaking through Pupin coils, which are distributed throughout the hundreds of thousands of miles of wire covering the North American continent.
"Nobody sees, but that doesn't matter. He has it, and it's up to us to pull him through and to get along without him." They sat down to talk it over. While they were at it the telephone came into the discussion with a summons of Richard to a long-distance connection.
Sharlee completed at her leisure her conference with the vanity-box; snapped the trinket shut; and, rising, rang the bell again. This time she required a glass of water for her good comfort. She drank it slowly, watching herself in the mantel mirror as she did so, and setting down the glass, took a new survey of her whole effect, this time in a long-distance view. "Now, Mr. Queed!"
