Dragging his play-box softly out from under the bed, he plunged his hand to the bottom and soon drew out his troublesome boots; then tucking them under his coat, which barely served to cover them, he slid down the banisters to save all noise, and tore out into the yard, and around the corner to the boot-house, as though a pack of wolves was after him.
A native soldier, who is passing, stops and bargains for a handful, and carries it off, eating it as he goes; when he has had enough he will stow the rest in his turban, which serves as his pocket, his private trunk, and play-box all in one. This is the food he best thrives on, so his wants are easily supplied.
I'm going to like everybody here and get on. I say, shall we be chums?" "No." "Oh, I say! Why not?" "Because I don't like you." "Oh, I say!" "In another minute I'll break your neck." "Oh! I say!" The piping boy sprang up from the play-box and stood away. "All right, you needn't be ratty about it! I'll tell the fellows you said your name was Peter! They'll give it you."
We'd got an old play-box cord with us, and we tied it to each of the scrapers. The doors have a sort of iron ring for a handle, and through this we stuck a broken cricket-stump, and Mug and I held the two ends so that you couldn't possibly lift the latch on the inside. Then but you go on, Diggy."
Don't know your own purse-strings," spluttered the denouncer, growing incoherent with rising fury; "sit at home with your little play-box of a works down here, with fancy hutches for your rabbits of workmen, clubs, toys, kitchen ranges, hot and cold laid on. Oh, I've seen it all. Who pays for it, that's what I want to know? who pays for your blooming model works and houses?"
When we see some of the tropic birds, with their tiny bodies attached to gigantic beaks, we do not feel that they are freaks of the fierce humour of Creation. We almost believe that they are toys out of a child's play-box, artificially carved and artificially coloured. So it is with the great convulsion of Nature which was known as Byronism.
He walked round to his place in silence, pausing for a moment to take something down from the mantelpiece. "Who owns a key with a scrap of steel chain tied on to it?" "I do," answered Jack. "It belongs to my play-box." "Well, here it is," returned the other. "I picked it up among the bushes. Do you notice anything peculiar about it?" "No." "You don't?
He represented to Mr Root the little honour that he would gain in the contest, and the certain loss the damage to his property and to his reputation the loss of scholars, and of profit; and he begged him to remember that every play-box in the school-room was filled with fireworks, and that they were all determined, and sorry he was in this case to be obliged to uphold such a determination, they were one and all resolved, if permission were not given, to let off the fireworks out of doors, they would in the consequences be on Mr Root's head.
There is an incessant manipulation of neighbours' gossip and play-box tittle-tattle, all wrapped up in perfidious good taste to mask their flavour and smell. "These pills of foulness, exhibited in the required doses, act like detergents on the soul, which they almost immediately purge of all trustfulness.
Then she walked across to where stood Timmy's play-box, in order to find the letter which Betty's one-time lover had written to his godson. The play-box had been George's play-box in the days of his preparatory school, and it still had his name printed across it. She turned up the wooden lid.
