The class applauded wildly, for the spirit of make believe threw them back into those tempestuous early days along the Atlantic Coast. John heard not a word of the scenes which followed. He was sorely disturbed. There was Sid on the platform with his beloved, waving his arms back and forth in fervid, pump-handle motions which Louise seemed to mind not a bit.
In his anger he overturned an island, but this did not appease his hate. Since that time all sharks have preyed on women." Sister of Anne moved restlessly in her sleep and put her ena-covered feet across my knees, feet as hot as an iron pump-handle on a July noon. "Hakaia!" exclaimed Ghost Girl, and hung the feet over the side. "Sharks will let men live to kill women," Tetuahunahuna resumed.
Stacy Brown worked his right arm up and down like a pump-handle, making a wry face as he did so. The boys had completed their first target practice, in which Tad and Ned had carried off even honors, with Walter Perkins a close second, while Stacy Brown had hit pretty much everything within range except the target itself.
It was understood that there was to be no nonsense, and Abe had been heard to declare that he would 'throw out any cotton-backed fool who couldn't hold himself down, and further, he had enjoined them to remember that 'her arm wasn't a pump-handle. At last they were all gone, all but her guard of honour Shaw, Vernon Winton, Geordie, Nixon, Abe, Nelson, Craig, and myself.
Our skipper stood perfectly still, looking at him, though Sir Alexander's arm was raised as if in menace; but at that instant the lifted hand was seized, and the arm was moved up and down rapidly, as if it were a stiff pump-handle that needed oiling. It was Mr. Starr who had seized it, and began to shake it so furiously. Before the tall Scotsman had time to understand what was happening, Mr.

To quote one of the reports of the occasion: 'People plunged at his arms with frantic enthusiasm, and all the infinite variety of shakes, from the wild and irrepressible pump-handle movement to the dead grip, was executed upon the devoted dexter and sinister of the President.
Paul felt that very well, and in order to escape their angry faces and still more angry blows, he generally said he wanted to stay at home, however sore his heart might feel. Then he seated himself on the pump-handle, and, rocking himself to and fro, dreamed of the time when he could do as his brothers did.
"Shake!" was the general command, and Andy's arm ached from the pump-handle process. "What are you going to do?" asked Ted. "We're going to eat!" cried Dunk. "This is on me a little supper by ourselves at Burke's." "Count us in on that!" cried some one out in the corridor, and Mortimer Gaffington and some of his cronies shoved their way into the room.

Not even for breaking the pump-handle was I punished, and Miss Bray tried so hard to be friendly that at first I did not understand. I do now. That was my first experience in finding out that some one who looked like a lady on the outside was mean and deceitful on the inside, and it made me tremble all over to find it could be so. Since then I have never pretended to be friends with Miss Bray.
