He turned to exchange guns with Mali-ya-bwana. "N'dio, bwana," assented the latter to a speech of which he understood not one word. Mali-ya-bwana was secretly a little proud of himself for having stuck like a gun bearer, instead of shinning up a thorn tree like a porter. Kingozi slipped a cartridge into the rifle, and the two resumed their walk toward the kopje.
Tonight, instead of dropping to the back yard and shinning over the fences to safety, I took the fire escape up to the top flat something a copper would never think of and went through to the hall. Why? Why, to interrupt the tender tete-a-tete Maitland had planned. Why again? Because, for one thing, I've never yet been beaten at my own game; and I'm too old a dog to learn new tricks.
We used to take down all the ratlines, and make the darkies go up without them. In doing this, they took the rigging between the great and second toe, and walked up, instead of shinning it, like Christians. This soon gave them sore toes, and they would beg hard to have the ratlines replaced. On the whole, they were easily managed, and were respectful and obedient.
Now, as he looked over the shinning billows of the waving barley, his heart was very sore with longing for Philip's gladsome shout at the harvest-field, and he thought with surprise and compunction how he had seen Lucy leave him struggling with a flood of tears.
And again the sponge was busily plied, and then the grimy nurse glanced upward at Cullin, now shinning down from his perch in the skylight. "His home's right ahead at Argenta. Breifogle's the name." "Breifogle!" shouted Cullin, aghast. "Why, that's the big brewer, banker, mine-owner, and Lord knows what all that owns half of Yampah County and wants to own the rest. Could he tell who slugged him?
There never was anything to find fault with in his looks, and on this day, with his light brown hair and beard freshly-trimmed and shinning, his clear skin with the red colour in his cheek, and his bright eyes, in their hollow caves, there was something so transparent and sublimated in his aspect, that I thought that he looked more like a spirit than a bridegroom.
Oh! if he could only get into a telegraph office! Suddenly an idea struck him. He went a little farther up the track, and shinning up a pole he took his heavy jack-knife, and after a hard effort, succeeded in cutting two wires. Another pole was climbed and only one wire cut from it. With this strand he made a joint so that the two ends of the despatcher's wire could be brought in easy contact.
I followed the wake of an old whirlwind that had left long furrows in the forest, I've told you how the thing works, and I tracked its course by the gum that had formed wherever the trees were wounded. It's hard, lonely work, Rod, but it pays well." "If I could have been there, maybe we could have got more. I'm good at shinning up trees." "Yes, sometime we'll go gum-picking together.
With consternation P. Sybarite investigated the vacant loop at his side. "Must've dropped out while I was shinning over the back fence," he surmised vaguely. "However, I shan't need it. This" with a bright and confident smile displaying Penfield's revolver "will do just as well better, in fact." "That?" she questioned. "That's not a Police Department gun. Where'd you " "Oh, yes, it is.
I wonder he didn't go off to the Horse Guards at once. I might have done it in his place, if I found I couldn't lick him. I should have tried kicking first." "Yes, shinning before peaching," said Herbert, astonished almost as much as he was disgusted by the inveterate sentimental attachment of Van Diemen to his old friend.
