'And you? she put in. 'Me! I don't count I don't care.... A man's not like a woman. I've always been a fighter. And I've never been DOWNED in my life. I'm not going to be DOWNED this time. I shall make good some time somehow. I'm not the sort of small potato that drops to the bottom of the bag in the big shake-up. She winced visibly.
I suggested that it would not be difficult for him to learn to walk about on the ceiling with his hands "I can't sleep," he said. But that was no great difficulty. It was quite possible, I pointed out, to make a shake-up under a wire mattress, fasten the under things on with tapes, and have a blanket, sheet, and coverlet to button at the side.
Although Runnels had spoken with confidence of the coming shake-up in the railroad organization, it was not without a certain surprise that he awoke one morning to find himself actively in charge of the entire system. He lost no time in sending for Kirk, who took the news of their joint advancement with characteristic equanimity.
He knew it, as do all the countrymen accustomed to look at the sky: it was only the announcement of an autumn squall to close the series of lukewarm winds, of a decisive shake-up to finish despoiling the woods of their leaves. Immediately after would come the long showers, chilling everything, the mists making the mountains confused and distant.
I suppose most of the men of my age in the country have been going through the same experience: the War left us with a considerable restlessness of spirit." "You were in the War?" she asked, quickly, and as quickly answered herself, "Of course you were!" "I was a left-over; they only let me out about four months ago," he said. "It's quite a shake-up trying to settle down again."
It's all the same to the poor, they haven't anything to eat. But suppose the soldiers are ordered to do it! Scavenging must be done if the city isn't to become pestilential!" A flash of intelligence crossed Pelle's face. "Now listen, comrade! When you stop working, deliver up all the keys, so that the authorities can't touch you! Only put them all in a sack and give them a good shake-up!"
But he would have to proceed with care, or he would key the plan before the time was ripe. There must be no great shake-up in personnel, or undue attention from Earth to the potentials of Project Hot Rod. Perhaps the saboteur's cover-story of a magneto-ionic effect would serve his ends as well at least until his comrades on Earth signaled that the time was ripe.
