However, shooting at a mark was pleasant work enough; he had no particular objection to it himself. Only he did not care so much for those little popgun affairs that a man carries in his pocket, and with which you could n't shoot a fellow, a robber, say, without getting the muzzle under his nose. Pistols for boys; long-range rifles for men.
I find myself often wishing for her and her small fellow-conspirator's intervention, in company where I am supposed to be enjoying myself. When my friend the politician gets too far into the personal details of the quorum pars magna fui, I find myself all at once exclaiming in mental articulation, Popgun!
In short, so useful has that trivial implement proved as a jaw-stopper and a boricide, that I never go to a club or a dinner-party, without wishing the company included our Scheherezade and That Boy with his popgun. How clearly I see now into the mechanism of the Young Girl's audacious contrivance for regulating our table-talk!
He had certainly done something heroic and exceptional in giving his age as twenty-one. Emily's voice brought him back to earth. "You mustn't have a second glass, James. Warmson!" "Won't they be astonished at Timothy's!" burst out Imogen. "I'd give anything to see their faces. Do you have a sword, Val, or only a popgun?" "What made you?"
Her suit meeting no favor, the rejected Titaness made a gesture of despair and rage; then suddenly drawing a huge pistol, she took aim right at the obdurate sculptor's breast, and pulled the trigger. The shot took effect, for the abominable plaything went off by a spring, like a boy's popgun, covering Kenyon with a cloud of lime dust, under shelter of which the revengeful damsel strode away.
The trapper pointed as he spoke to a flock of wild duck that was coming straight towards the spot on which they sat. The "popgun" to which he referred was one of the smooth-bore flint-lock single-barrelled fowling-pieces which traders were in the habit of supplying to the natives at that time, and which Unaco had lent to the boy for the day, with his powder-horn and ornamented shot-pouch.
"You take your 'lectricity train that you got back from the hermit, and I'll take my Teddy bear, Sallie Malinda with her 'lectric-light eyes." "No," said Bunny, shaking his head. "My electric train takes up too much room. I'm going to take my popgun that shoots corks, and maybe I can scare away any cows that get in front of our auto." "All right.
But such is the edifice at present, and this its foundation: and the Barrister might as rationally expect to blow up Windsor Castle by discharging a popgun in one of its cellars, as hope to demolish Calvinism by such arguments as his. Ib. p. 35, 36. "And behold a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do 'to inherit eternal life'?"
His face paled, the veins showed suddenly like purple veins in dirty marble. "I've got that gun yet, Lund," he snarled. Lund laughed, the ring of it so confident that the men glanced from him to Carlsen nervously. "Yo're a fake, Carlsen," he said. "And I've got yore number! To hell with you an' yore popgun. You ain't even a doctor. I saw real doctors ashore about my eyes.
His enemy lay still, the pistol in his hand. Apparently Sanders had been killed at the first shot. "Come to git me with that popgun, did you? Hmp! Fat chance." The bad man fired again, still approaching very carefully. Round the corner of the house a man had come. He spoke quickly. "Turn yore gun this way, Dug." It was Shorty. His revolver flashed at the same instant.
