Lugging the baby to the window, she scrambled over the sill. The fire-escape was cluttered with all the paraphernalia that doubles the casualty of a tenement fire, but she cleared a space with her foot and sat down on the top step. Beside her loomed the blank warehouse wall, and from the narrow passage-way below came the smell of garbage.
"My work is sure," muttered she, "and all the gold is mine." Again she watched, but there was no motion a stream of blood appeared from under the bed, and ran in a little rivulet towards the fire-place. "I wish I could pull him out," said the old woman, lugging at the lad's legs; "another blow or two would make more sure." But the effort was above her strength, and she abandoned it.
When Nicholas heard his daughter's remark from Aunt Hester he had rapped out: "Wives and daughters! There's no end to their liberty in these days. I knew that 'Jackson' case would lead to things lugging in Habeas Corpus like that!"
Braddle, with intense disgust. "How do yer suppose we're to do it take her to pieces, eh, and bring her along in our pockets? Do you think we're flats enough to run the chance of being seen in the streets by a copper, lugging that 'ere statue along?" "We must have the light cart again, and a sack," said the Count. "It's too late to-night." "And it ain't safe in the daytime," said Braddle.
'If I came some day soon to your home, would you sing to me? he asked. 'I couldna. I'm promised for the bark-stripping. 'What's that? Hazel looked at him pityingly. 'Dunna you know what that is? 'I'm afraid not. 'It's fetching the bark off'n the failed trees ready for lugging. 'Where are the felled trees? 'Hunter's Spinney. 'That's close here. 'Ah. Edward was deep in thought.
I had sold him a few little jags by lugging stuff in and was getting tired of this sort of business. I wanted either to get a decent order or quit him cold. It is all very good, you know, to send in one or two little jags from a new man, but the house kicks and thinks you are n. g. if you keep on piking with the same man.
His private domain consisted of a blessed, taciturn instrument called a cello that required no words to say something deep. He had dragged it on the plane and had paid an astronomical fee to get it onto the airlines. What a burden it had been to him lugging the thing around and yet, dilettante that he was, he needed some beauty to exude out of his hardened mud.
Thoreau must have had a helpful sense of humor, for after lugging the burden upstairs he complacently remarks, "I have now a library of nearly nine hundred volumes, over seven hundred of which I wrote myself." In recent times a costly edition of all Thoreau's writings has been published. He is one of the rare spirits whose fame increases with the years.
Keeper Wixon, of the poor-farm, had the big floor of the barn nicely swept, had hung lanterns about on the wooden harness-pegs, and was in a state of great excitement and impatience. Second Selectman Reeves came first, lugging his crate from his beach-wagon. The crate held the Widow Pike's rooster. His nomination had his head up between the slats, and was crowing regularly and raucously.
'You know I'd never go for to beat him, continued Harold; 'but it was enough to vex a chap wasn't it? to have Mother coming and lugging one off from the carrying, and away from the supper and all. Women always grudge one a bit of fun! 'Mother never grudged us cricket, nor nothing in reason, said Alfred. 'Lucky you that could make hay at all!
