"It's our one chance," said he to John as the Indian, propping himself by a hand on the wall, offered the whiskey to Clallam. "We cross you Okanagon," he said. "What yes?" "Maybe you say no?" said another, pressing the emigrant to the wall. A third interfered, saying something in their language, at which the other two disagreed.
My father, that he might not lose the projecting space in the second story, caring little for outward architectural appearance, and anxious only for the good and convenient arrangement of the interior, resorted to the expedient which others had employed before him, of propping the upper part of the house, until one part after another had been removed from the bottom upwards, and a new house, as it were, inserted in its place.
He sank back in his arm-chair exhausted, closed his eyes, and laid his hand upon the clever pointed head of the greyhound which lay at his feet. The short walk and the fiery wine which he had again enjoyed in abundance at dinner had increased the pain from which he was now never free, day or night, and it was some time ere Adrian could succeed in propping his infirm body comfortably.
The tall woman whose statuesque figure had so strangely recalled Teresa's supple, powerful form was holding up the child, propping it on the wall behind her. Still shaking with the chill terror induced by the vision she now believed she had not seen, Agnes went up closer to the melancholy group. Even now she longed to hear the woman speak.

The soldiers crowded round these last, covering them up with blankets or mackintoshes, propping their heads with saddles for pillows, and giving them water and biscuits from their bottles and haversacks.

Everyone in the island knew his grandfather, and he exchanged a few words with them all, but ever maintaining a gravity which imposed respect in others without alienating them; but as for being his friend! Don Horacio may have had business relations with the Chueta relating to loans needed for propping up his fortune in its decline.

"Gee, but I " And he looked down at his own clothes as though to reassure himself. Tresler broke in; he understood the trend of the other's thoughts.
In a stentorian voice he sang the latest song from comic opera, and then with an adjuration to Mr. Burton to see what he was about, and not to let him trip, he began, in a lumbering fashion, to dance. Mr. Burton, still propping him up, trod a measure with fewer steps, and cast uneasy glances up the lonely road.
Miss Heredith consulted her own watch, suspended round her neck by a long thin chain. "Yes, that is right." "What time are you having dinner?" "A quarter to seven."
