We were in a ravine where the pine forest was magnificent, but one could see that the trees were shortened many feet by the great depth of snow. Our meals were brought to us by Bryant from the soldiers' mess, and as the cook was only a pick-up, they were often a mess indeed, but every effort was made to have them nice.
Fogarty what he meant, but he wouldn't tell me. What's a 'pick-up, dearie?" and he lifted his face to Jane's, his honest blue eyes searching her own. Jane caught her hand to her side and leaned for a moment against the stone wall. This was the question which for years she had expected him to ask one to which she had framed a hundred imaginary answers.
And that ought to tell us we're on the right track. So you see it was an important pick-up, and ought to count one point for Jotham." "Gee whittaker! you don't say?" ejaculated Seth, staring with considerable more respect at the foot of dingy yellow stuff which the scoutmaster was holding in his hands. "Well, if that's so, then I pass along the honors to Jotham.
It was such a pity he should be so hampered; the mere éclat of possessing such a horse was so great a pleasure; "He is a fine creature," said he, "and, I am sure, will do well." "Your lordship may say that: he'll go precious nigh to astonish the Saxons, I think. I suppose the pick-up at the Derby'll be nigh four thousand this year." "I suppose it will something like that."
Tonight I ask employers, large and small, throughout the nation, to use the help of the state and Federal Employment Service whenever in the general pick-up of business they require more workers.

The aerials stretched from her main to mizzen mast and a small room, formerly a storeroom, below the raised poop containing the cabins had been fitted up for a wireless room. In this the boys had spent a good deal of time during their convalescence from sea-sickness and had managed to "pick-up" many vessels within their radius, which was fifteen hundred miles under favorable conditions.
The plate doilies should be at least 9 inches wide, with smaller corresponding ones on which to set the glass of water or the hot cup, and an extra one or two for small dishes for relishes and the like that may be kept on the table, etc. They can he bought for 25 cents a piece and upward, but the average housekeeper enjoys making her own, taking them for "pick-up" work.
Then we can each check the other's merchandise." "All right," I said. "We can use a ground-service cable; rig a pilot light on it, and kick it out, as soon as they get in close." "We'll have to splice a couple of extra lengths to it," Mannion said. "Go to it, Mannion," I said. "And send two of your men out to make the pick-up."
He did not like the word "pick-up" either, though to his shame he hadn't been above the thing itself. "Don't talk like that, Madeline. You know I like you. You were immense last night. Any other girl I know, except my sister Tony, would have had hysterics and fainting fits and lord knows what else with half the excuse you had.
Caught, Ted tried half-heartedly to make denial, but the effort was scarcely a success. He had yet to learn the art of lying gracefully to a lady. "You don't," she repeated.
