One of the poets said, while talking to a select party of aristocracy: Depend upon it, my snobbish friend, Your family line you can’t ascend Without good reason to apprehend You’ll find it waxed at the farther end With some plebeian vocation; Or, what is worse, your family line May end in a loop of stronger twine That plagued some worthy relation.
"Here we are again, war or no war!" cried Mother De Smet, as the boat came alongside. Father De Smet left the tiller and threw a rope ashore. "Whoa!" cried the boy driving the mule. The mule stopped with the greatest willingness, the boy caught the rope and lifted the great loop over a strong post on the river-bank, and the "Old Woman" for that was the name of the boat was in port.
"This is a good place, and the rope won't chafe as it runs over that. Now I am ready. If you will go back to that stump fifteen feet away and let it out gradually, I will be off." He knelt down, and putting the rope over his head took a firm hold of it just above the loop, and then crawled backwards, his brother keeping the rope taut. "Slack it out gradually now," Bertie said; "I am just over."
I don’t intend, Lutterfield, to let you curry favor by pointing out our trail to the army. I’d answer your proposed desertion as it deserves—with a bullet—but a body on our trail would provide an excellent signpost for any pursuers." The rope which had been coiled on Wayne’s saddle swung out in a perfect loop and tightened about Lutterfield, pinning his arms to his sides.
To-morrow morning, if I find nothing, I'll start back with you. If you care to come up now I'll help you." "What else is there to do?" cried Gloria, with the first flash of passion. "What else do you leave me?" He slipped a loop of the rope about her waist, taking slow pains not to touch her with his hands, and turned downward again.
It will cave in pretty soon if it isn't repaired. Why, the consent of property-owners alone, along the line of this loop, is going to aggregate a considerable sum. It seems to me instead of hampering a great work of this kind the public ought to do everything in its power to assist it. It means giving a new metropolitan flavor to this down-town section.
Not doubting that it was her husband, she quickly unfastened the loop which held, by an inner fastening, the skin door of the lodge, and throwing it open she saw two strange women standing before it. Courtesy left the hunter's wife no time for deliberation.
I now contrived, with extreme difficulty, to reverse the position of my hands; that is to say, I climbed backward through the loop formed by my fettered arms, so that instead of their being locked behind me, they now were locked in front. Then I began to examine the fetters, learning, as I had anticipated, that they fastened with a lock.
After many days journey going into every nook and loop hole of the earth, he succeeded at last in having a glimpse of the object of his search.
Conceive a biplane, thousands of feet aloft, suddenly flinging its nose up and beginning to climb vertically as if intending to loop the loop; conceive of its pausing suddenly and remaining, for perhaps a full minute, poised thus upon its tail absolutely perpendicular.
