'That's a good deal better, he said cheerfully, after an examination, in which, while seeming to be occupied with pulses and temperature, he paid particular attention to the pupils of Mr Markham's eyes. 'We are nosing up the Solent fast did you know it? Ten minutes ought to see us in Southampton Water; and I suppose you'll be wanting to catch the first train.
Every man watching knew what the seiner was about, in defiance of the law. The salmon, nosing into the stream, driven by that imperative urge which is the law of their being, struck the net, turned aside, swam in a slow circle and tried again and again, seeking free passage, until thousands of them were massed behind the barrier of the net.
Beechnuts he would discover and eat by himself, but walnuts and butternuts he could not crack, and as for chestnuts, he wanted them taken out of their prickly jackets before he could eat them. Here in the deep woods the bear also discovered several roots which were to his liking, so he was always nosing about in the dead leaves, for if he didn't find nuts, he would find roots.
"Crikey, there she goes!" he cried, and jerked his arm towards an unwieldy battle-ship nosing her way out of the Hamoaze, her low bows tracing a thin line of white. For half a minute they stood watching her. "She's ugly enough, in all conscience," commented Parson Jack. "She's a holy terror. But perhaps you don't believe in turrets. Nor do I, to that extent. It's tempting Providence."
The alders swayed again as if struck; a huge bear lumbered out of them to the shore, with a disgruntled woof! at some twig that had switched his ear too sharply. I slid lower in the canoe till only my head and shoulders were visible. Mooween went nosing along-shore till something a dead fish or a mussel bed touched his appetite, when he stopped and began feeding, scarcely two hundred yards away.
There are only two vulnerable spots on a full-grown crocodile; under the left fore leg, where the heart can be pierced, and the jugular vein, easily reached through the opened jaws. Piang, in the bow of the boat, paused, arm raised, waiting for a favorable opportunity. The canoe was being swept backward, stern first, and the crocodile swam close, nosing it, making it careen perilously.
We can make the thing look like a regular robbery by a couple of yeggs. Are you on?" "No, I don't get you, Chief." "Why?" "It's too risky." "Too risky?" "Yes. That fellow Garrick is just as likely as not to be nosing around up there. I'd go but for that." "I know. But suppose we find that he isn't there, that he isn't in the house has been there and left it. That would be safe enough.
Then he stiffened out in a sort of a spasm. It was like strychnine poisoning. Before could get a veterinary here he was dead." "Did you make any examination?" "I analyzed the contents of his stomach, but did not obtain positive results." "What about the other dog?" "Rags? That was the day before yesterday. We had just come over from Flatbush and Razs was nosing around in the corner "
Not the slightest doubt in the world. She can't think of anything but her career. Yes, sir, when all's said and done, to marry a modern woman is no child's play, it means thought and care. And A. Baird has made up his mind to it. He has made up his mind to marry her by playing a long waiting game. He's just slowly and quietly nosing his way into her school, because it's her life.
"Don't you meddle with my affairs, unless you want trouble right off the bat. I'm not going to have a Paul Pry nosing around and hinting slanders about me and Miss Harriman. What do you think I am? I'll protect my good name and this lady's if I have to do it with a gun. Don't forget that, Mr. Lane." Kirby's steady gaze appraised him coolly. "You're excited an' talkin' foolishness.
