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.
Paul took the case from her hand and examined the inscription: To Sergeant Michael Duveen, Company, Irish Guards, from Captain Donald Courtier, in memory of February 9th, 1916. Opening the case, he found it to contain a photograph of Don. The latter, who was watching him, spoke: "My affairs would have terminated on February the ninth, Paul, if Duveen had not been there. He was pipped twice."
He was losing weight; his eyes were beginning to fall in; he had touches of bad fever. He was, as he described it, pipped. And, one ghastly hot day, he suddenly heard himself say to Leonora: "I say, couldn't we take Mrs Maidan with us to Europe and drop her at Nauheim?" He hadn't had the least idea of saying that to Leonora.
Otus was just like his own mother in that respect; and it might have worried him a great deal to have to keep things spick and span after the way he had been brought up. Why, the beautiful white eggshell he hatched out of was dirty when he pipped it, and never in all his growing-up days did he see his mother or father really clean house. So it is no wonder he was rather shiftless and easy-going.
I could not find the other car, so, assuming it had gone back, I decided to return as far as Brie and stay the night. As I was leaving the village a burst of machine-gun fire rang out close by followed by violent rifle-shots. "Let her go," I said to my chauffeur. "I am not at all anxious to get pipped out here. My films must not fall into enemy hands."
Bob sat very still, but, as for Bob, he just fidgeted from nest to tree and back again, stopping around and asking questions. Yes, one egg is pipped; they'll all be out by to-morrow. And so they were, thirteen little puff-balls, upon tiny coral feet. "There would have been sixteen, but for that horrid Nip," sighed Mrs. Bob.

Kent glowered down at him, made a swift, mental decision, and pipped him by the shoulder. "You come with me," he commanded. "I've got something important I want to tell you. Come on if you can walk." "'Course I c'n walk all righ'. Shertainly I can walk. Wha's makes you think I can't walk? Want to inshult me? 'Sall my friends here no secrets from my friends. Wha's want tell me? Shay it here."
Last season the Cardinal had pipped his shell, away to the north, in that paradise of the birds, the Limberlost. There thousands of acres of black marsh-muck stretch under summers' sun and winters' snows. There are darksome pools of murky water, bits of swale, and high morass.
I was cut up at the time, but I know now 'e wasn't my Fate, 'avin been told since that I'm goin' to marry a man wot'll work with 'is brain. So cheer up, Miss Marryun, and come an' 'ave this nice glarss o' stout I've brought in for you. She unscrewed the bottle as she spoke. 'I always find that when things are at their worst, an' you're feelin' real pipped like, a glarss o' stout acts like magic.
