"Hollis," whispered Katie immediately afterwards, "will I take my mouses?" "'Sh, Topknot!" "What's going on there between you and Horace?" laughed Grace. "A secrid," said Fly, nipping her little lips together. "You won't get me to tell." "Horace," exclaimed Mrs. Clifford, "you haven't " "Why, mother, I thought it was all settled, and wouldn't do any harm; and it pleases her so!"
"I resign," declared old Dan, nipping his little bunghole of a mouth under the hook of his nose. "Those animals are getting onto my nerves. The whole pack and caboodle are chasing me in a nightmare every time I go to sleep. Their condemned glass eyes are boring me worse than gimlets. I'm going on with that book of mine. I've got a new idea for it.
The result is massacre; not, however, without its advantages, as it eliminates the more brutal and troublesome of the Isosceles; and by many of our Circles the destructiveness of the Thinner Sex is regarded as one among many providential arrangements for suppressing redundant population, and nipping Revolution in the bud.
It seemed as if the day would never come. Presently across the intervale he caught the faint tinkle of herd-bells. Over the brim of rolling green just ahead of him came the flock, Sandy leading them, and the collies nipping at their heels. The herder strode rapidly forward, waving his sombrero as he came. Donald ran to meet him.
Those clumsy ironclads of his can't move backward or forward, and the Rebs have been peppering him for two days." Just then a fusillade broke from the thickets, nipping the branches from the cottonwoods about them. "Form your line," said the General. "Drive 'em out." The force swept forward, with the three picket companies in the swamp on the right.
The air was biting cold, especially after the sun began to sink through the trees, but it had the effect merely of nipping Bobby's nose and cheeks red his little body was tingling and aglow.

Then, before Tom could get ready for another blow, the gobbler landed back of the lad, and came on with another rush. "Look out!" cried Bunny, but his warning came too late. The turkey landed on Tom's back and began nipping and clawing him. "Get off! Get off!" cried the poorhouse lad, trying in vain to reach up with his club and hit the gobbler hard enough to knock him to the ground.
No, she put them in this pleasant Inquisition and pointed to the Blessed Redeemer, who was so gentle and so merciful toward all men, and they urged the barbarians to love him; and they did all they could to persuade them to love and honor him first by twisting their thumbs out of joint with a screw; then by nipping their flesh with pincers red-hot ones, because they are the most comfortable in cold weather; then by skinning them alive a little, and finally by roasting them in public.
Bobby had insisted upon being let out of the lodge kitchen, and had spent the morning near Auld Jock's grave and in nosing about neighboring slabs and thorn bushes. When the time-gun boomed he trotted to the gate quite openly and waited there inside the wicket. In such nipping weather there were no visitors to the kirkyard and the gate was not opened.
There are powdered heads from time to time in the little windows of the hall, looking out at the untaxed powder falling all day from the sky; and in the same conservatory there is peach blossom turning itself exotically to the great hall fire from the nipping weather out of doors. It is given out that my Lady has gone down into Lincolnshire, but is expected to return presently.
