At two and a half for the first sixteen rows they'll pack the house for the week, and every diamond in the hock-shops will get an airing for the occasion. But you saw it first, Burnit, and I won't interfere." "Well, I don't know," Bobby again hesitated. "I haven't fully " "Go ahead," urged Spratt heartily. "It's your pick-up and I'll get mine. Hey, Spencer!"
Many a good man would jump at it, to be free to write as he felt, and as for the rest of the staff by paying such a wage we'd get the tip-top pick of the ordinary men who do the pick-up work that generally isn't considered important but in my opinion is one of the main points of a newspaper." "Would you take what you call a 'living salary' on such a paper?" asked Connie.
Hazlitt minor read the notices, discovered that, as he was posted on no game, he must of necessity take himself to the "pick-up," and then looked round. Davenham was conscientiously perusing a notice, although there was no likelihood of his own name appearing on any. Davenham seemed to find it vastly interesting. Hazlitt stole up behind, and knocked his hat flying across the cloister.

You're a risk and a pick-up, but some of my biggest hauls came from fishing where others scorned to take a chance. "Yes, sir." "You are willing to agree?" "Oh! yes, sir." "Sounds like a big chance?" "I reckon it does, sir, but it's what I saved money for ever since I was seven. The chance, I mean, sir."
The stop-volley has no wrist at all. Use all your wrist shots, chop, slice, and drop, merely as an auxilliary to your orthodox game. They are intended to upset your opponent's game through the varied spin on the ball. I have now reached the climax of tennis skill: the half volley or trap shot. In other words, the pick-up.
Every sip you took of your pick-up as you sat there showed me something was wrong. Tell your worry! 'Pooh I can tell you in two words, said the captain satirically. 'Your arrangement for my wealth and happiness for I suppose you still claim it to be yours has fallen through. The lady has announced to-day that she means to send for Somerset instantly.
