Finally, he put the holy bone to his strong back teeth and gave a hearty scrunch. Two tit-bits came off, and he handed them to the trembling Adam, saying, "Excellent man, keep these for us." The abbots and monks were first struck dumb, then quaked, and then boiled with indignation and wrath. "Oh! oh! Abominable!" they yelled.
And then he and Robert pulled, and the girls put their arms round their brothers and pulled too, and suddenly the bolt gave way with a rusty scrunch, and they all rolled together to the bottom of the stairs all but the Phoenix, which had taken to its wings when the pulling began.
Again I was possessed by a strange, savage playfulness like that which impels a cat or leopard to toy daintily and tenderly with its prey for a while before the final scrunch. "We remained thus motionless for more than half a minute in a silence broken only by his blasphemous mutterings.
Wonder what Mr Lacey would say if I was to tell him all I know." "What do you mean?" "Oh, nothing, sir. I dunno what he'd say; but I think I know what he'd do scrunch Mr Mark like a walnut in a door-hinge!" "Look here, I don't want to hear any scandal, Jerry. There, that will do! I'll give you a shilling as soon as I have one." "Thank ye; but don't.
"They must have dropped from Heaven an' were sent us to 'venge the people the pirates have killed. It's a sign. Guess we're not pirates after all, but just good sailors an' we'll scrunch those pirates." Then he thought for a moment. "But I guess we'll keep this flag anyway, even if it is the pirates'." And they kept their names as well. They were far too fine to give up.
I brought my heel well down on his confounded little varnished toe, and gave it a scrunch which made Mr. Barnes shriek out one of his loudest oaths." "D clumsy !" screamed out Barnes. Clive said, in a low voice, "I thought you only swore at women, Barnes." "It is you that say things before women, Clive," cries his cousin, looking very furious. Mr. Clive lost all patience.
The scrunch of the springy carpet of needles and pine cones under heavily shod feet was completely lost. The profoundness of the gloom was tremendous. The camp suggested secrecy. It lay in the bowels of a hollow. The hollow was crowded with spruce, a low, sparse-growing scrub, and mosquitoes. Its approach was a defile which suggested a rift in the hills at the back.
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.
That Tom was in a frightful way, she could not but see; for, as she confided to Elizabeth, it fairly made her nerves all scrunch up to hear him sing that awful doleful song about wishin' she would marry him. Elizabeth suggested to her aunt, that as Sarah Emily was likely soon to give notice finally and forever, that she should be the one to take up the burden of the housekeeping.
Now she would have to waste all the precious time, the precious, lovely time for thinking in, for getting square with herself, in shaking Mrs. Wilkins off. With great caution and on the tips of her toes, balancing herself carefully lest the pebbles should scrunch, she stole out when she was dressed to her corner; but the garden was empty.
