When we came to them, we had to "shoot the rapids" as best we could, only to land with a PLUNK in an indeterminately deep pool at the bottom. Some of the pack horses went down, sousing again our unfortunate bedding, but by the grace of fortune not a saddle pony lost his feet. After a time the gorge widened. We came out into the box canon with its trees.
When Tom had sealed and stamped this letter, he laid the other one on Miss Margaret Ellison's desk, thinking that she might be interested to read it. Anxious that his letter should go as soon as possible, Tom went down in the elevator and was about to cross the street and post it when he ran plunk into Roy, who was waiting on the steps.
Anybody's got to have sense about telling the truth; you can't just plunk everything out! I I believe I'll go and live in New York." Instantly Maurice was silenced. "She mustn't take him away!" he thought, despairingly.
I'm glad that our vessels bring cargoes across, while counting rooms wrestle with profit and loss; that men know the beauties of figures and dates, and tariffs and duties and railway rebates. I'm glad there are dreamers not industry-drunk, surrounded by schemers whose god is the plunk.
No one was within sight, but in case there should be a ploughman over a rise within hearing, I coo-eed long and well. My voice had been trained. I coo-eed three times, allowing an interval to elapse, and then settled into the bottom of the boat to await developments. Soon I was disturbed by the plunk! plunk! of a swimmer, and saw a young man approaching by strong rapid strokes.
Bumping, thumping, scraping her knuckles and shins, somehow, anyhow, down she slid, reached the end of the swaying rope, hung for one frightful moment kicking in mid-air, then dropped, plunk, like a lead in water. She landed, shaken and stunned, but not injured, upon the damp soft earth of a flower-bed. The rope dangled above her, only a few feet away.
He remained to stare, but his tail was up, and we knew he only stayed because he knew he could easily catch up in the next twenty seconds. The chance was very slim of delivering a knockout at that distance, but we badly needed meat, anyway, after our march through the Thirst, so I tried him. We heard the well-known plunk of the bullet, but down went his head, up went his heels, and away went he.
David pranced carelessly about the Little Missioner, poking him beautifully as he offered suggestions and criticism. "You should protect your nose, mon Père" plunk! "And the pit of your stomach" plunk! "And also your ears" plunk, plunk! "But especially your nose, mon Père" plunk, plunk!
Translate "the multitudinous seas incarnadine" into "making the ocean red," or, for more pertinent instances, imagine a Carlyle, an Emerson, a Lamb forced to exclude from his vocabulary every word not readily understood by the multitude, to iron out all whimseys, all melodies from his phrasing, and to plunk down his words one after the other in the order of elementary thought!
Weather's nothing to him elemental conditions is nothing to him he don't even take notice of them." "Oh, come! Dark? Rain? Snow? Hey?" "It's all the same to him. He don't give a damn." "Oh, say including fog, per'aps?" "Fog! he's got an eye 't can plunk through it like a bullet." "Now, boys, honor bright, what's he giving me?" "It's a fact!" they all shouted. "Go on, Wells-Fargo."
