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.
Here, on the contrary, it seemed the first object of each individual, whether American or Indian, to separate himself as far from his friends as possible, seeking his own enemies, trusting to his own resources, carrying on the war on his own foundation, in short, like the enthusiastic Jerseyman, who, without belonging to either side, was found at the battle of Monmouth, peppering away from a fence, at whatever he fancied a foeman "fighting on his own hook" entirely.
His chief talent lay in peppering frostbitten toes with iodoform powder a reminiscence of the sugar castor. Our housemaid was a leather tanner, whom Jo's baby magpie mistook for its parent, as he fed it at intervals every morning. A Czech in typhus cloths spent his days down in the disinfecting, operating and bathrooms.
"Didn't you go out?" asked the clerk. "I was going, Gum, but stepped out first to collect my basins, and then the rain came down. I had to shelter under the wood-shed, it was peppering so." "Collect your basins!" interjected Mrs. Jones. "Where from?" "I put them out with scraps for the cats."
Six large potatoes and two onions, with half a pound of salt pork. Cut the pork into dice, and fry to a light brown. Add the onions, and brown them also. Pour the remaining fat into a large saucepan, or butter it, as preferred. Put in a layer of potatoes, a little onion and pork, and a layer of the fish cut in small pieces, salting and peppering each layer.
The sun hung close to the silver strip of mountain exaggerated to a huge dull blood-red shield. "Wayland, is this desert light red or is it that A'm seein' red?" The Ranger looked a third time at his companion. The old man sat more erect; but his eyes were blood shot. A puff of wind, a lift and fall and drift of sand, the wind met them in a peppering shower of hot shot.
At this juncture the big biplane that had been pursuing the Fokker suddenly ducked, dove far beneath his adversary and came up on the opposing side, at the same time peppering the Hun with machine gun explosive bullets. The Fokker almost stopped and appeared to tremble. Both Bangs and Erwin saw that some serious internal injury had occurred.
However, the excuse he offers is at least an excuse; but there is another set of men who are like YOU; they know a WORD here and there, of a foreign language, or a few beggarly little three-word phrases, filched from the back of the Dictionary, and these are continually peppering into their literature, with a pretense of knowing that language what excuse can they offer?
We knew that sure eyes watched them from the reef; no lads' playing at the length of a watchdog's chain, kept more surely from the dog's teeth than those night-birds from the gun's range. Shots they fired wild, reckless shots, skimming the water, peppering the sky, whistling in the clear air above us.
While one party loaded the canoe with our goods, others got ready a long rape to fasten around the animals' necks, wherewith to haul them through the river to the other bank. After seeing the work properly commenced, I sat down on a condemned canoe to amuse myself with the hippopotami by peppering their thick skulls with my No. 12 smooth-bore.
