Within the next thirty seconds Evarts received a swift, fearful pummeling. "Let up, Mr. Reade! Let up!" cried the wretch. "I'll behave myself." "I'll wager you will," retorted the young engineer grimly, as he gripped Evarts by the coat collar and drew him to his feet. Dick was up and had run ahead some distance. But the time that had been gained for the black man had proved sufficient.
Swearing, about herders and at them, was all very well; bluffing, threatening, pummeling even with willing fists, tearing down tents and binding men with ropes might serve to relieve the emotions upon occasion.
He is, furthermore, a terrific boaster, as you will learn when you read of his many declarations of the pummeling he would give the ferocious Robber Fly, if ever he chanced to meet that devouring assassin.
The delirium increased with age, and most of the adult natives showed it by eating dirt, sleeping on dunghills, pummeling anthills with rocks even as the ants bit them severely, and jumping out of trees onto their heads. This last maneuver caused the natives to stagger around senseless for days, or simply to lie unconscious and bleeding in the sun and rain.
He gave a yelp of pain and promptly released the lady, and a moment later he found himself flat upon the floor with a dozen of the dancers piled upon him all of whom were pummeling each other with much pleasure and a firm conviction that the diversion had been planned for their special amusement.
He crammed what was left of the fruit into his mouth, climbed up on Jack and sat down on his head again. Have to do something to break him of that. One of these days, he'd be getting too big for it. In a few minutes, the rest of the family came in, chasing and pummeling each other and yeeking happily.
"There's no adventure in modern war," said the bored man. "It's a dirty scientific business. I'd kill all chemists and explosive experts." "Our men will have adventure enough when they go over the top at dawn. Hell must be a game compared with that." The guns went on pounding away, day after day, laboring, pummeling, hammering, like Thor with his thunderbolts. It was the preparation for battle.
Demetrio, standing like a furious bull in the middle of the arena, cast fierce glances at all the bystanders, Luis Cervantes, Anastasio, Manteca, and the others. "Goddamn you! You've taken my gun away! Christ! As if I needed any gun to beat the hell out of you." Flinging out his arms, beating and pummeling, he felled everyone within reach. Down they rolled like tenpins.
But we shall see that in proper time, for there is nothing more dramatically timely, or untimely, than this incident in the history of battles, unless it be Blücher's miraculous appearance at Waterloo, when Napoleon supposed that Grouchy was pummeling him twenty miles away.
With a wheezing groan Noozak turned and made her way slowly toward the big rock alongside which she had been sleeping when Neewa's fearful cries for help had awakened her. Every bone in her aged body seemed broken or dislocated. She limped and sagged and moaned as she walked, and behind her were left little red trails of blood in the green grass. Makoos had given her a fine pummeling.
