As the winter went on he seemed actually to have regained most of his former hardiness and vigour. A handsome old boy he was, ruddy, hale, with the zest of a juicy old apple, slightly withered but still sappy. It should be mentioned that he had a dimple in his cheek which flashed unexpectedly when he smiled. It gave him a roguish almost boyish effect most appealing to the beholder.
"How'd you sleep, Sam?" "Didn't sleep a durn bit." "Neither did I. I was shivering all night. I got up an' put the spare blanket on, but it didn't do any good." "Wonder if there was a chills-and-fever fog or something?" "How'd you find it, Sappy?" "All right." "Didn't smell any fog?" "Nope." The next night it was even worse.
If you wish to be healthful, sappy, strong, wish to attain any desirable thing, it is to be bound not in defiance of the laws of the universe, but in loving and tender obedience.
He is like one who, having watched a tree grow from its planting a paragon of tenacity, insulation, and success, amidst the deaths of a hundred other plants less fibrous, sappy, and persistent one day will see it flourishing with bland, full foliage, in an almost repugnant prosperity, at the summit of its efflorescence.
Filing in perfect silence, save for the light sound of a hatchet and the slithering of sappy bark, I had noticed, or thought I noticed, that the progress of the Wyandotte was less quiet than ours, where he ranged our left flank, supposedly keeping within the forest shadow.
The safest plan is never to tread on a worm not even on the last new subaltern from Home, with his buttons hardly out of their tissue paper, and the red of sappy English beef in his cheeks. This is the story of the worm that turned.
As it flows it takes the forms of sappy leaves or vines, making heaps of pulpy sprays a foot or more in depth, and resembling, as you look down on them, the laciniated, lobed, and imbricated thalluses of some lichens; or you are reminded of coral, of leopard's paws or birds' feet, of brains or lungs or bowels, and excrements of all kinds.
Reg is always sappy when they're seventeen. And she's been looking moon-eyed at him for days." Well, the Pattens went away, and Mrs. Beecher manacured her Nails, I could hear her fileing them and sang around and was not much concerned, although for all she knew he was in the briney deep, a corpse. How true it is that "the paths of glory lead but to the grave."
I repaired to his room, and arrayed myself in a fatigue officer's suit, with clean underclothing, after which, descending, I climbed into his saddle, and dashed off, with a mettlesome, dapper pony. The railroad track was about a mile from the house, and the whole country, hereabout, was sappy, dank, and almost barren.
I'd have one on each end of the trail coming in, an' one on each side of the creek where it comes in an' goes out." "Well, Sam, you have a pretty level head. I wonder I didn't think of that myself." "My son, the Great Chief does the thinking. It's the rabble that's you and Sappy that does the work." But all the same he set about it at once with Yan, Sappy following with a slight limp now.
