She held her breath long enough to hear the door bang shut after him and his hob-nailed shoes go scrunch, scrunch, through the gravel of the path around the house, then she broke out crying again so violently that Tippy had hard work quieting her. She picked up the silver porringer from the floor and told her to look at the pretty bowl. The fall had put a dent into its side.
Within the forest the world did not seem so vast, so confusing to the eye. On either hand, ahead, were to be seen only bare tree-trunks beneath the ponderous green canopy which shut out the sunlight from above. The scrunch of the pine-cones crushing under the hoofs of the horses carried a welcome sense of companionship to the riders.
"No indeed, in fact one scarcely ever hears of such a case." "If they stepped on your bare foot they'd scrunch it, wouldn't they?" "Yes, but you are the driver; you mustn't let them do that; you are a free-will boy, and they are nothing but cows."
To-morrow at sunrise he and the squaw were to go away, and long he lay awake, thinking, thinking. Now the shadow hovering at the forest edge became more distinct as it neared the house; it came slowly, stealing warily up the snow-clad hill. There was no scrunch of footsteps, the snow muffled all such sounds.
You'll say you'll come?" "We have made the promise to ourselves these six months. We think, you see, that home " "Bah! what's home?" cried Tackleton. "Four walls and a ceiling! I would! I always do. Come to me!" "You kill your Crickets, eh?" said John. "Scrunch 'em, sir," returned the other, setting his heel heavily on the floor. "You'll say you'll come?
His face got all grey instead of being red like it was and there was a fly walking over it up to his eye. The scrunch that was when they were screwing the screws into the coffin: and the bumps when they were bringing it downstairs. Pa was inside it and ma crying in the parlour and uncle Barney telling the men how to get it round the bend. A big coffin it was, and high and heavylooking.
"No, oh! no, not by no means," replied Richards, "only the crust o' this 'ere toast is rayther 'ard, and I'm apt to growl w'en that's so." "If the crust is 'ard, Mr Richards, your teeth is 'arder, so you ought to scrunch 'em without growling."
"I wish Father was here," said Phyllis; "he'd get it open in two shakes. What are you kicking me for, Bobbie?" "I wasn't," said Roberta. Just then the first of the long nails in the packing-case began to come out with a scrunch. Then a lath was raised and then another, till all four stood up with the long nails in them shining fiercely like iron teeth in the candle-light.
Provost, if by chance you found a gentleman taking a stroll in that fair meadow of which laws, human and divine, enjoin you alone to cultivate the verdure?" "I would kill everything," said the provost; "I would scrunch the five hundred thousand devils of nature, flower and seed, and send them flying, the pips and apples, the grass and the meadow, the woman and the man."
Then for an hour it was deadly dull, and I was fidgety. Miss Watson would say, "Don't put your feet up there, Huckleberry;" and "Don't scrunch up like that, Huckleberry set up straight;" and pretty soon she would say, "Don't gap and stretch like that, Huckleberry why don't you try to behave?" Then she told me all about the bad place, and I said I wished I was there.
