He was joined immediately by the others; the turn-screw was set to work; and, as he expected, Vincent found no trouble whatever with the screws, which were not yet rusted in the wood, and turned immediately when the powerful screw-driver was applied to them. When all were out the bar was carefully lifted from its place and laid upon the floor.
"De nex' mawnin' he overslep' hisse'f, en got inter mo' trouble. Atter breakfus', Mars' Dugal' sont 'im ober ter Mars' Marrabo Utley's fer ter borry a monkey wrench. He oughter be'n back in ha'f a' hour, but he come pokin' home 'bout dinner-time wid a screw-driver stidder a monkey wrench. Mars' Dugal' sont ernudder nigger back wid de screw-driver, en Hannibal did n' git no dinner.
Here is a screw-driver!" he shouted as the coffin was replaced upon the table. "Here's one for you, my man! A sovereign if the lid comes off in a minute! Ask no questions work away! That's good! Another! And another! Now pull all together! It's giving! It's giving! Ah, that does it at last." With a united effort we tore off the coffin-lid.
Luckily, to prevent any quarrel between parties so interested in maintaining a good understanding as the screw and the screw-driver, betting commenced at this time in very loud terms on various contingencies of the approaching trial. Ten guineas to ten were offered freely that the prisoner was acquitted, but found few takers. Mr.
The young man nodded curtly and turned to Barbara. "Do you wish all the knobs changed?" "Please." Without another word, the young man knelt at the door by which he had entered and began with the aid of a long screw-driver to remove its ancient lock of japanned iron and coarse white china. "What's the best news with you, Harry?" The young man did not look up from his work.
I do not profess, like a certain Negro preacher, to "unscrew the inscrutable," for we can never reach a point where we shall not find the inscrutable still ahead of us; but if I can indicate the use of a screw-driver instead of a hatchet, and that the screws should be turned from left to right, instead of from right to left, it may enable us to unscrew some things which would otherwise remain screwed down tight.
"I see, I see," he answered to Laura's explanations. "I see. Now where's a screw-driver, and a step-ladder? Yes, and I'll have to have some brass nails, and your hired man must let me have that hammer again." "Now, Landry," directed Laura, "those rods want to be about three inches from the top." "Well," he said, climbing up, "I'll mark the place with the screw and you tell me if it is right."
"I think I could do summut with a screw-driver." "I'll send you one up." The next minute a couple of small screw-drivers were passed up part of the furniture of his gun. Cole worked hard, but silently, for about an hour, and then he whispered down that he should be able to get a bar out. But how high was it from the ground? "About forty feet."
The island, with its white cliffs, its golden-sanded coves, its vineyards, its pleasant, shaded groves, was a paradise for lovers. And the Ida Captain Wilson insisted on that sailed the next day, carrying Phillips away with her. Gorman achieved very little by his second visit to the cave. He took with him several tools, a short axe, a screw-driver and a hammer.
"Yes," murmured Greta, "let us think." Dangling an end of hair, she regarded Christian with her wide blue eyes. "I can't make any plan," Christian cried at last, "while you stare at me like that." "I was thinking," said Greta humbly, "if they have screwed it up, perhaps we shall screw it down again; there is the big screw-driver of Fritz." "It would take a long time; people are always passing."
