But the angle was too acute, and just as the twig tightened satisfactorily it snapped, and this time the razor slid out sideways into a single minute puddle that lay on the path. The Major snorted in mirthful impatience. "But " "Kindly let me alone," said Frank icily. "The thing's got to go like this, or not at all."
He wondered what he ought to say and presently stammered: "I I intend to. I guess I'm more of a man than anybody would think to look at me." "You're too young to ever fall in love I reckon." "No I'm not," he answered with decision. "Have you got a razor?" she asked. "No." "I reckon it would be a powerful help. You put soap on your lip and mow it off with a razor.
This arose under the brilliant administration of the first Mr. Pitt: England was suddenly victorious in three quarters of the globe; land and sea echoed to the voice of her triumphs; and the poor Doctor Brown, in the midst of all this hubbub, cut his own throat with his own razor.
A moment later he looked up. Fisette was sitting on his chest, and running his thumb along the razor edge of the blade. There was a little blood at the corner of his mouth and his cheek was scratched. Otherwise he was undisturbed. "Well?" he grunted presently, staring through half-closed lids. Manson was pumping air into a laboring breast. "I'm licked," he panted after a while. "Say that again."
"I went to jail when I was fourteen because I wanted a knife to make kite sticks, and I stole a razor from a barber. I was bitter when they steered me into a lockup in Hickory Street.

He saw in imagination the masterful Gorgio in the red-plush chair, and the negro barber bending over him, with black fingers holding the Gorgio's chin, and an open razor in the right hand lightly grasped.
Besides, from the manner in which he began, and which he would never change, it was impossible for him not to cut his face sometimes, for he shaved himself downward, and not upward, like every one else; and this bad method, which all my efforts could not change, added to the habitual abruptness of his movements, made me shudder every time I saw him take his razor in hand.

"Never saw the like before, sir; must have annoyed you dreadful!" remarked the commiserating barber, as he passed the preparatory scissors round his customer's jaw, mowing the great golden sheaf at one sweep.
Soon the boys joined him, loaded already; for there were such heaps of treasures long razor shells, whelk and cockle shells, limpets, mussels, periwinkles, star-fish in the pools, seaweed of all shapes and colours, shrimps; while all over the sand where they stood, busy sea-lice were hopping about in myriads.
