This man had lived boy and man in one groove of the grocer business, until he needed prodding to shift him momentarily into any other. In reality he managed most of the details of the selling.
"One of Katharine's friends," he said rather sharply. It was clear that he was irritated, and Cassandra felt for his annoyance. They were standing by the pen of some Oriental hog, and she was prodding the brute gently with the point of her umbrella, when a thousand little observations seemed, in some way, to collect in one center. The center was one of intense and curious emotion. Were they happy?
I see you prodding around rocks and weeds with your noses in books, but I want to know what you mean on this road?" "I desire to take a walk on it. I have no weapon, I am a peaceful person. May I pass?" "You better turn back. This road is sentineled all the way to camp. You're too simple to go alone. You are an American?" "Certainly. Born and bred in the colonies." "A rebel?" "Sir!"
Instead, she was almost snappish to her idol, and the Princess soon went out again in something of a huff. "Oh, dear," cried Carol, "now I've offended her. What has got into me? What a disagreeable thing a conscience is, although I'm sure I don't know why mine should be prodding me so!
Billy almost wished he had not chosen the fraternity life, but the others were suffering with him, which made it easier than if he had been alone. Meanwhile Dan Jordan was industriously trying to imitate a cooking egg. "Scramble, Captain, scramble," cried a sophomore, prodding Jordan with a stick.
The Hessian was about to make angry reply, when a young fellow, evidently an Englishman, shoved his way through the men to the coach door. "Stop that, Joris," he said, prodding the corporal with his elbow; "give me the paper; I can read it." But Joris, who evidently had reached the stage of ugly intoxication, did not choose to give it up, and stood his ground.
Never mind, Juddy; you're hereby appointed dockyard-tender for the next three years, and if you're very good and there's no sea on, you shall take me round the harbour. Waitabeechee, Commodore. What'll you take? By this time Judson had pinned him in a corner, and was prodding him with the half-butt. The Admiral's Secretary entered, and saw the scuffle from afar. "Ouch! Juddy, I apologise.
Now the wind came like a wolf down the Murchison Pass, howling and moaning. Andrew, closing his eyes, felt that the whole thing was dreamlike. Presently he would open his eyes and find himself back beside the fire in the house of Uncle Jasper, with the old man prodding his shoulder and telling him that it was bedtime.
The champagne sky had deepened into a strip of copper; the silhouettes were soft and black; street lights studded the bank of foothills to the west like setting stars. Darkness had tucked the distance that lay between the city and the Rockies in the lap of night, and the great ridge stood up close and clear, prodding its jagged edge into the copper pennant of the day's farewell.
'He won't eat like folks he can't talk an' he sleeps like a bat. I dunno why such a pusillanimous critter should cumber the yearth, and with that he puts his hand to his hip and pulls out a forty-five from under the tails of his coat. Fuzzy takes one look at it, and it didn't need any prodding to make him holler, and he tries to tear off the false tusks.
