She was got up to the best of her ability as a siren, more popularly a "vamp" a picker up and thrower away of men, an unscrupulous and fundamentally unmoved toyer with affections. Something in the exhaustiveness of her attempt fascinated Maury at first sight a woman with wide hips affecting a panther-like litheness!
Bob had bad luck in the river an' the horse got away from him. I reckon the pony was lightin' out for home when yore rope stopped the journey." The voice of Dud was cheerful and genial. It ignored any little differences of the past with this hook-nosed individual whose eyes were so sultry and passionate. "So he sent you two fellows, did he? I'll say he's a good picker.
The flower picker bunched her flowers into a tight round knot which she surveyed with pride. "That step-mother of Esther's now," she said. "I don't hold much with her. Flighty, I call her. Delicate, too, if looks don't lie. Men are queer. The only thing queerer is women. What d'ye suppose a sensible middle-aged man like Doctor Coombe ever saw in that pretty doll?
The General's a rotten bad race horse, but he's yours and not mine. It's what you get for being a poor picker." The bay colts were nearing the end of their three-year-old form when the Pitkin string arrived on the Jungle Circuit and took up quarters next door to Old Man Curry and his "Bible horses."
Picker strode to the centre of the stage and, by a simple expedient strangely unthought-of before by merely pulling away the bucket, separated Gypsy from the candy. Then he turned to Missy and eyed her disapprovingly. "I think you'd better be taking the back cut home. If I was your mamma, I'd give you a good spanking and put you to bed." Spanking! Oh, shades of insouciance and swagger!
In the same community with him at one time lived a certain man by the name of Moore, who in his day had been an expert tobacco picker, but who later had come by an injury to his hand and so turned cobbler, and a rather helpless, although not hopeless, one at that. Mr.
James prided himself upon his forbearance, and it was rarely indeed that he betrayed more than a hint of the superiority which he felt toward his parent. "Politics is all right, provided you're a good picker," he said, with all the assurance of twenty-two, "but you fell off the wrong side of the fence, and you're sore." "Of course I am. Wouldn't anybody be sore?"
He sometimes ate with a copper knife and picker, not forked but more usually like a dog, with both hands. The bits too tough for his mastication he would take from his mouth and give as a treat to the pages, who n'yanzigged, and swallowed them with much seeming relish. Whatever remained over was then divided by the boys, and the baskets taken to the cooks.
A slot, or perforation through the plate, also extended through the side of the shuttle-race near the bottom, admits the passage of the needle; and when this is pushed in the shuttle can still pass freely over it. The shuttle is pushed one way and then the other through its race or trough by picker staves.
"I really am glad there is no one in our outfit with a delicate appetite. Walt, do you remember what a dainty picker you were when we first went out together?" "Yes. I have changed since then, haven't I?" "I should say you have. From a delicate little chap you've gotten to be a regular whopper." "Yes, I reckon we've all grown some," agreed Chunky.
