Led me on deliberately to think sure I want to kiss you and then plunk! Threw me over! What's the younger generation comin' to?" "Say tha's hard luck," said Key "that's awful hard luck." "Oh, boy!" said Rose. "Have another?" said Peter. "We got in a sort of fight for a while," said Key after a pause, "but it was too far away." "A fight? tha's stuff!" said Peter, seating himself unsteadily.
But they came back to the beach with their arms full several times before a halloo from the houseboat indicated the return of the excursionists. A heavy something fell plunk! over the side of the houseboat. Two figures scrambled after it. In a minute or two it was possible to see Madge and Phyllis pushing a large barrel in to shore.
D'ye want t' go? "'Sure, says Bull. "An' with that th' whole pack o' 'em leaps over a fence, an' beats it off toward th' hills. "Well, Bull don't even hesitate. He leaps at that there rail fence an' lands against it with his head, plunk an' caroms back into th' road.
Upon telling my camp-fellows about my discovery, Jones and Wallace walked out to see it, while Jim told me the wolf I had seen was a "lofer," one of the giant buffalo wolves of Buckskin; and if I would watch the carcass in the mornings and evenings, I would "shore as hell get a plunk at him."
He was glad to be there, he was glad that chance or Providence had led him to this lovely valley. He felt no loneliness, no fear for the future, he was content merely to breathe and feel the glory of it permeate his being. He picked up a pebble presently and threw it into the lake. It sank with the sullen plunk that told unmistakably to the boy's ears of great depths below.
"As soon as the cage arrived and had been fitted together in the cellar, I sent away the smith; and the landlord and I suspended it over the well, into which it fitted easily. After a lot of trouble, we managed to hang it so perfectly central from the rope over the iron pulley, that when hoisted to the ceiling and dropped, it went every time plunk into the well, like a candle-extinguisher.
"Sharp's the word," he said: "d'you mind the time " He was interrupted roughly by the sergeant, who had just had the target pointed out to him, jerking up the trail to throw the gun roughly into line. "Shut yer head, and get on to it, Donovan. You see that target there, don't you?" "See it a fair treat!" said Donovan joyfully; "I'll bet I plunk a bull in the first three shots."
Fortunately, Scott was nervous, and missed, but the miss was a narrow thing, and Nickie heard the ping of the bullet and the plunk as it buried it in the bark of the tree behind him. Suddenly a spasm of comprehension came to Nickie, despite the whisky, and he made a leap the gum-butt, and hastily entrenched himself.
Boo-oom! plunk goes one hundred pounds o' money to the bottom o' the sea; an' close after it goes the fish! You may take my word 'tis first throwin' away the helve and then the hatchet. I could never see any sense in War, for my part; an' I remember bein' very much impressed, back at the bye-election, by a little man who came down uninvited in a check ulster and a straw hat.
I had crawled in this fashion for about 150 yards, when I heard a shell come shrieking in my direction. With a plunk it fell, and exploded about forty feet away, choking me with sand and half blinding me for about five minutes. The acrid fumes, too, which came from it, seemed to tighten my throat, making respiration very difficult for some ten minutes afterwards.
