"I expect that an immediate depopulation of New York will commence," said Constance, "and go on till the heights about Queechy are all thickly settled with elegant country seats, which is the conventional term for a species of mouse-trap." "Hush, you baggage," said her father. "Fleda, I wish you could spare her a little of your common sense, to go through the world with."
There is a perfect water system, fire-brigade with fire stations where the firemen sleep, police, and a dog-catcher. Here they build anything of wood, iron, brass, or steel that the company needs, from a ninety-ton locomotive to a single-barrelled mouse-trap, all under the eye of the Englishman who came to America with a good wife and three babies, a good head and two hands.
Besides, you know quite well that we dine with my mother on that day, and it is impossible to miss paying her a visit. To-morrow I will leave you at your mother's, for the count has returned from Frouville and will be at Madame de Fischtaminel's concert. You know how I adore music! The Touch and Go Mouse-Trap. THE WIFE. Why did you go away so early this evening?
Miranda has a capital song by Uncle Bill, made for Francie's soprano. She cuts you all out, Anna." "That she does, in looks and voice, but she could not act here in public. However, we will lay it before the Mouse-trap. Was it printed?" "Lance had enough for the performers struck off. Francie could send some up."
At some small hour of the darkness, owing, possibly, to some intervening door being left open, he heard the mouse-trap click. Another light sleeper must have heard it too, for almost immediately after the pit-pat of naked feet, accompanied by the brushing of drapery, was audible along the passage towards the kitchen.
This Gerard Dow did me good; for a master is a master, whatever he may paint. It represents a woman paring carrots, while a boy before her exhibits a mouse-trap in which he has caught a frightened victim.
But the robbers were to obtain no permanent success, either in the market-place or in Myrtilus's house, which was diagonally opposite to the palaestra; for General Satyrus, at the first tidings of their approach, had collected all the troops at his disposal and the crews of several war galleys, and imprisoned the division in the market-place as though in a mouse-trap.
I'd wait for you, sir, if I had to stop till you was a hundred! But, beg pardon, S'Richard, is that there to make a patent mouse-trap?" "Which?" said the young man angrily. "That there thing as you're making, S'Richard." "Pooh! what nonsense! Jerry, you are not musical."
'I was wondering what the mouse-trap was for, said Alice. 'It isn't very likely there would be any mice on the horse's back. 'Not very likely, perhaps, said the Knight: 'but if they DO come, I don't choose to have them running all about. 'You see, he went on after a pause, 'it's as well to be provided for EVERYTHING. That's the reason the horse has all those anklets round his feet.
Bruhl and the Austrians had decided otherwise. "Open mouse-trap," at Striegau; claws of the sleeping cat, at Sohr: these were sad experiences; ill to bear, with the Sea-Powers grumbling on you, and the world sniffing its pity on you; but are not conclusive, are only provoking and even maddening, to the sanguine mind. Two sad failures; but let us try another time.
