Larry, giving no sign that he had heard Dan's growling answer, drove his scoop into the coal, and with a swinging thrust spread its heaped load evenly over the glowing bed in the fire-box. He closed the fire-door with a quick slam, for in a pitching boiler-room burning coal can fall from an open furnace as suddenly as new coal can be thrown into it. "So, you're back," Dan sneered.
"It looks as if there was a chance of making a big immediate profit on my invention, and that she intended me to scoop it in instead of her father and McMurtrie. I can't think of anything else." Tommy pulled up a fresh plate and helped himself to some cheese. "She must be pretty keen on you," he observed. "Well, you needn't rub it in, Tommy," I said. "I feel quite enough of a cad as it is."
But it's a pretty barren thing to think, or to feel, that you're a Master Man; because, if you are if you've had a 'scoop' all the way, as Jowett calls it, you can be as sure as anything that no one cares a rap farthing what happens to you. There are plenty who pretend they care, but it's only because they're sailing with the wind, and with your even keel.
Living in the scoop of a sidehill when one is strong and able to get about and keep the blood coursing is one thing; living there pent up through a tedious winter is quite another. Dave meditated as he worked away at the pair of crutches. "Tell you what I think I'd better do," said he. "The nearest settlement is some hundred miles away, and I can get there and back in twenty days.
Scoop out with a sharp-pointed knife the fuzzy centres, leaving the soft base, which is the luscious morsel. Cut each artichoke in halves, wash, drain and fry brown on each side in olive oil Make tomato sauce and cook thirty minutes in that mixture. Then serve. Beets are usually thickly sowed, and as the young plants begin to grow they must be thinned out.
Of the comb and honey which the boys found in the tree they were able to carry away less than half and they wondered if the bees would have the sense to save what was left or if some wandering bear would scoop it in for his supper.
To this ring is fastened a regular landing net such as fishermen use, with an extra bag of cheesecloth to fit inside to capture insects too small to be held by the meshes of the outside net. For frogs, turtles, and minnows, the single net is all that is necessary. This device is almost strong enough to use as a shovel. It will scoop up a netful of mud without bending.
Not if I can make the scoop here and see the Britishers sit up. 'You won't do it with three columns of slushy headline, believe me. They don't sit up as quickly as some people. 'I'm beginning to think that too. Does nothing make any difference in this country? he said, looking out of the window. 'How old is that farmhouse? 'New. It can't be more than two hundred years at the most. 'Urn.
There are bunches of heads rising over the cases in eager inquiry. "Corkey's sneeze killed him!" says Slug I. "Glad of it," growls one cross dog. "Glad of it," growls another cross dog "Glad of it," goes from alley to alley about the broad floor. "Who's got 48 X?" inquires the man with the last piece of copy. It is the end of Corkey's obituary. "This will be a scoop," says the copy-cutter.
And when the horses heard the scoop bumping and banging on the ground, they turned around of their own accord and walked back to get a new load. And so they did until they had scooped out all the dirt that had been loosened.
