In another minute or two you and I will be in the sunlight again or else you and I have both already had our last glimpse of the light of day." Tomba smiled, though he felt the mastery of this young wearer of Uncle Sam's uniform. "Get up on your feet," ordered Hal. "Stand right before me, your back to me. Do you feel the point of the creese?"
Sam's comparatively high rank among officers who were, many of them, his juniors in rank but his seniors in years, might have made his position at first a difficult one had it not been for his entire single-mindedness and loyalty to his country. If the powers that be had made him a captain, it was right that he should be a captain.
I was took quite aback when she held out her little hand for mine; I felt kinder delicate like that she should see my big jints. But howsomever, "here goes," said I, and I stuck out my bony fist, and, by Jupiter, it was kivered with flesh, jest as soft and delicate as Uncle Sam's babies!!!
She knew too little of the Clark history to appreciate the significance of Sam's verbose self-defense. What she did realize overwhelmingly was the fact that the young mason was related to her was her second cousin, the grandson of the elder brother Clark, while she was the granddaughter, through her mother, of the younger brother. And that was all she realized for the present.
"All right," said Sam, in the nice way he has of acquiescing in all my serious moods until they pass. "I'll be through after about three more rounds and then I'll come and help you.

"I'm a-goin' to see that baby, that's all there is to it. I tell yer, I'm a-goin'." "No use, father; you'll only make things worse," sighed Sam's mother, plaintively; but in her heart laughter gurgled like a spring. To the gift of diplomacy Mrs. Norris was fast adding the art of being an actress. "If you go there Sam'll set the dog on you.
Weller, the unfortunate skates were firmly screwed and buckled on, and Mr. Winkle was raised to his feet. 'Now, then, Sir, said Sam, in an encouraging tone; 'off vith you, and show 'em how to do it. 'Stop, Sam, stop! said Mr. Winkle, trembling violently, and clutching hold of Sam's arms with the grasp of a drowning man. 'How slippery it is, Sam!
Aston talked to him in a friendly gossiping way, then looked across at Aymer with a faint nod. Aymer unfolded his scheme of carrying out Sam's ambitions to a fruitful end. He was to go for a year to a commercial school, and after that to be put into a good firm as pupil or 'prentice with a chance of becoming a junior partner with a small capital if he did well.
But you never had much bringing up, though you do 'live in a house with a gambrel roof," retorted Ben, sarcastically quoting Sam's frequent boast; then he walked off, much disgusted with the ingratitude of man. Sam forgot his manners, but he remembered his promise, and kept it so well that all the school wondered.
"He has, has he? Well, I have a key that will open it," and so he smashed the lid with the axe; then he went through the pockets, got Yan's old silver watch and chain, and in Sam's trousers pocket he got two dollars. "Ha! That's just what I want, sonny," and the tramp put them in his own pockets.
