'Pull down the nests and the craws will fly away. No more cells for lads from the ploughtail and the heather. No more bloody whipping-posts, where one or two are killed out of every draft to put the fear of death into the others! All gone up in yon puff of smoke!" Then he subsided into silence and his hard features relaxed as his mind fell upon other thoughts.
Speak up, Little Sunbeam, and tell Papa what you got on your chest?" Mrs. Toomey laid down the powder puff. "What if there should be some slip-up, Jap? We're letting ourselves in for a dreadful disappointment if we count on it too much." He shook off her hands from his shoulders with an exasperated twitch. "You're the original Death's Head, Dell! Don't you suppose I know what I'm talking about?
"I got it, my lord, whaur there's mair like it." "Show me them." "You refuse?" said the marquis; and the tone of the question was like the first cold puff that indicates a change of weather. "I div, my lord," she answered imperturbably. "If they are not my property, why do you bring me this?" "Are they your property, my lord?" "This is my handwriting." "Ye alloo that?" "Certainly, my good woman.
He went over to the chicken-house, probed with his knife-blade into the plank where was the splintered hole, and located a bullet. He was turning it curiously in his fingers when another one plunked into the boards, three feet to one side of him; this time he was sure of the gun-sound, and he also saw a puff of blue smoke rise up on the rim-rock above him.
I can only say that their faces look a little dark upon me, but it doesn't thunder every time a black cloud rises, nor does every puff of wind blow up rain. That's a question, therefore, much more easily put than answered." "So is this message of the Iroquois to me," answered Judith rising, as if she had determined on her own course for the present.
"You can't understand the feelin's of a fambly man away from home." He rolled his eyes sentimentally. The subject was one which was dear to the uxorious herder. He pulled out the tremolo stop in his voice and quavered: "You feel like you're goin' 'round with nothin' inside of you a empty shell or a puff-ball with the puff out of it. You got a feelin' all the time like somethin's pullin' you."
As they did so the wind came more furiously. Half blinded and with nostrils, eyes and mouths full of sand particles, the two young travelers reeled about in the darkness. Suddenly what it all meant burst upon Roy with the suddenness of a thunder clap. "It's a sand storm, Peggy," he cried. A puff of wind caught up his words and scattered them over the desert.
"No coal to be shovelled think of it!" exclaimed Roger, who took care of several furnaces in winter. "No ashes to be sifted and carried away! The thought causes me to burst into song," and he chanted ridicuously: "Given a tight tin stove, asbestos fluff, A match of wood, an iron key, and, puff, Thou, Natural Gas, wilt warm the Arctic wastes, And Arctic wastes are Paradise enough."
I could feel the heaving of the mountain, which seemed to breathe like a huge whale, and puff out fire and wind from its vast blowholes. Beneath, down a pretty steep declivity, ran streams of lava for eight or nine hundred feet, giving the mountain a height of about 1,300 or 1,400 feet.
At every soft puff, away flew the blue-devils, pagan, or Christian, or even scientific; and the brightness of the sleep-forbidden eyes returned, and the sweetness of the smile so long gone hence in dread of trespass.
