There are two young birds and one little speckled egg just pipped. But how is this? what mystery is here? One nestling is much larger than the other, monopolizes most of the nest, and lifts its open mouth far above that of its companion, though obviously both are of the same age, not more than a day old. Ah! I see; the old trick of the cow bunting, with a stinging human significance.
I have frequently heard him speak to Mr. Wooster of his desire to do something to follow your ladyship's instructions and collect material for your ladyship's book on America. Mr. Wooster will bear me out when I say that his lordship was frequently extremely depressed at the thought that he was doing so little to help." "Absolutely, by Jove! Quite pipped about it!" I said.
I asked from the hollow between his breast and his arm where I was fitted and held steadily so that my steps seemed to be his steps and the breath of my lungs to come from his. "Yes; most of the eggs were pipped when I went in the barn to put away the tools," answered Adam, with very much less excitement than the occasion called for. "Oh, why why didn't you tell me?"
It was the first to hatch, of course, and the queen felt that she had enough if all the others failed her; for this egg pipped with a resounding pip, and before the silky down was really dry on the big terracotta body, the young Cardinal arose and lustily demanded food. The king came to see him and at once acknowledged subjugation.
He was telling them now how he had "pipped the pro a charmin' fellow, playin' a very good game," at the last hole this morning; and how he had pulled down to Caversham since lunch, and trying to incite Prosper Profond to play him a set of tennis after tea do him good "keep him fit. "But what's the use of keepin' fit?" said Monsieur Profond.
No doubt we shall be able to discover some solution of Mr. Bickersteth's difficulty, sir." "Well, have a stab at it, Jeeves!" "I will spare no pains, sir." I went and dressed sadly. It will show you pretty well how pipped I was when I tell you that I near as a toucher put on a white tie with a dinner-jacket. I sallied out for a bit of food more to pass the time than because I wanted it.
She never had been kissed before, and never had expected that she would be, for she was a creature of many misfortunes of every nature. She had been hatched from a fifth egg to begin with; and every one knows the disadvantage of beginning life with four sturdy older birds on top of one. It was a meager egg, and a feeble baby that pipped its shell.
With the free left hand, I caught up a fluttering corolla, touching its perforated center with glue; then I "slipped up" the wire about an inch, took up another corolla in the same way, and then drew the two to the "pipped" or heart end of the wire, where they now became a big red flower with a golden eye.
But, if I speak to him inside a week, well ! Well, I gotta be going. Goodbye, honey." The cigar-stand girl turned to attend to an impatient customer, and the Girl Friend, walking with the firm and decisive steps which indicate character, made for the swing-door leading to the street. And as she went, the paralysis which had pipped Archie released its hold.
Yet upon my little acre you intrude. I am Naboth." Ahab straightened his back; sighed heavily. Naboth started against the prick of a sudden recollection: "I had forgotten. Your examination?" George half turned away. The bitterest moment of a sad day was come. He growled: "Pipped." "Pipped?" "Pilled." "Pilled?" "Spun." "Spun?" "Three months." Mr. Marrapit put his hands to his head: "I shall go mad.
