"And for the love o' Heaven, don't forget canteens! Get every canteen in town. Cayn't have my men runnin' around with their tongues hangin' out. Better bring out a bunch of broncs to pack supplies around. It's goin' to be one man-sized contract runnin' the commissary." The cañon above them was by this time a sea of fire, the most terrifying sight Bob had ever looked upon.
She wore a cartridge-belt slung jauntily across her hips and from it hung a holster of stiff new leather with the top flap open to show the butt of a man-sized forty-five caliber six-shooter her first gun. Not a man of the gang but had loaned her his guns time and again, but they had never dreamed of giving her a weapon of her own.
He bent to look at it uncertainly. It was a strange looking egg more like one of the china eggs used to make hens think they were nesting when their eggs were still being taken from them. Abruptly Nema sprang back. But she was too late. The egg was growing. It swelled to the size of a football, then was man-sized, and growing to the size of a huge tank that filled most of the tent.
And again he was allowed to catch a glimpse of age-old spirit a glimpse of a man-sized self-discipline beneath the childish exterior. The boy hesitated a moment, but it was his uncertainty as to just what Caleb's invitation had offered, and not the lure of the town which made him pause. He took one step forward. "I been comin' since last Friday," he explained.
"Jack isn't hurt yet," said Doctor Hugh, smiling, "and I don't know but digging out Plummers Lane is a man-sized job and one to be proud of. Certainly if you get the streets in passable condition so that we don't have to carry a sick woman through snow drifts to get her to the ambulance which happened last week you'll have the thanks of the doctors if not of the Student Council."
The Countess Courteau had called him a boy. This wasn't a boy's business; this was a real man-sized adventure. "Gee! What a day this has been!" he said to himself. The story of the first trial at Sheep Camp is an old one, but it differs with every telling.
I bet you Inglesby's got to fork over a man-sized bucket of dough per, to keep him. There'll be a flutter of calico in this burg from now on, for that fellow certainly knows how to wear his face. He's gilt-edged from start to finish!" Laurence, lounging on the steps, looked up with a smile. "His arrival," said he, "has been duly chronicled in to-day's press.
And the funny little railroad-coaches, with rows of doors like rabbit-pens. It was a satisfaction to notice that the train had a real man-sized engine, with U.S.A. painted thereon. Jimmie owned a share in that engine, and experienced Socialistic thrills as he rode behind it. He had got separated from his "unit", thanks to the submarine and the sojourn in the hospital.
She remounted and went on, and a little of the hopefulness was gone from her face. "I'll just about have to rob a bank, I guess," she told herself with a grim humor at the tremendous undertaking to which she had so calmly committed herself. "This is what dad would call a man-sized job, I reckon."
"They'd have to protect themselves all over as well; every inch would have to be covered tightly. From what I've seen of them I'd say that the arrangement would drive them frantic. It would be worse than putting clothes on a cat." "It's a man-sized job we've tackled," commented the doctor.
