The car had to be backed a few yards in the process of turning. Very stealthily, very gently, very mercilessly Victor sent Morlvera flying over his shoulder, so that she fell into the road just behind the retrogressing wheel. With a soft, pleasant-sounding scrunch the car went over the prostrate form, then it moved forward again with another scrunch.
We're smaller than you are, but there are seven of us six, I mean," Dick corrected, after a glance at quaking Hen. "You'll find we can take care of you!" "You kids, eh?" laughed Mr. Fits hoarsely. "Why, if you boys started in to climb over me I'd pick you off and scrunch you, like so many ants. Just try it and see!" To make his bragging good, Mr.
It was all as new and delightful as the steady 'scrunch' of the snow-shoes and the dazzling silence of the hills. Beyond the very furthest range, where the pines turn to a faint blue haze against the one solitary peak a real mountain and not a hill showed like a gigantic thumbnail pointing heavenward. 'And that's Monadnock, said the man from the West; 'all the hills have Indian names.

We'll race you in give you ten yards and bump you in twenty! Pull away, you fellows! One, two, three, gun! Off you go! Oh, well rowed, my boat! Now you've got him! Wire in, now! Smash him up! scrunch him into the bank! Hooroo! two to one on us!
You city folks may have your financial flurries, but if you've never been around and between and under a bank scrap in a small town, you don't know what trouble is. There were a couple of failures that needn't have happened, and a lot of partisan financiering, and then the town rose up and sat down on our social leaders with a most pronounced scrunch.
