Scipio received his orders submissively, and, shouldering a hoe, sauntered toward the cornfield, and was soon hidden by a clump of young weeping-willows, the sunny green branches of which trailed to the darker verdure of the sward. Screened by the drooping foliage, the shirking menial cast his body on the grass to store up energy for anticipated toil.
Then the Brown's warriors broke through and bore down, big and ugly, upon Pearse and Smith; but Neil was stepping toward the ball; a long stride, a short one, a long one, and toe and pigskin came together. Pearse was down and Smith was shouldering valiantly at a big guard.
Shouldering the receiver out of the hook, she had called Betty's number, and, with Geneviève stooping to listen at the dangling receiver, had called out two or three broken sentences. Guarded as their voices had been, however, some one in the house had been attracted by them, and the wire had been cut at some point outside the room.
But south of us, along the ascending trail by which we had come, the westering sun glowed red across a ledge of rock, from which the hill fell sheer away, plunging into profound green depths, where unseen waters flowed southward to the Susquehanna. Around the massive elbow of this ledge, our back-trail, ascending into view, curved under shouldering boulders.
"Hullo!" said Tom, shouldering into the crowd; "you drop that, Williams; you shan't touch him." "Who'll stop me?" said the Slogger, raising his hand again. "I," said Tom; and suiting the action to the word he struck the arm which held Arthur's arm so sharply that the Slogger dropped it with a start, and turned the full current of his wrath on Tom. "Will you fight?" "Yes, of course." "Huzza!
It will be over before this time tomorrow and the gamin there, who thinks the bossu will give him back his father he'll find out his mistake, all in good time all in good time!" and shouldering his rifle, the sentry laughed and resumed his slouching walk before the gateway. Gethryn nodded to the soldier's salute and went up to the child, who stood leaning sullenly against the wall.
He has taken the best of a basket of onions already, this morn; and forsooth, I must fill thy bowl. He comes here again. The huge, mouse-coloured Brahmini bull of the ward was shouldering his way through the many-coloured crowd, a stolen plantain hanging out of his mouth.
"Hello, Dan, hello, Gene; how are ye, Jim?" said she, and one young giant, shouldering his scowling way home, she stopped with a fat imperative hand. "How's it going, Jarge?" "It's going rotten," said George, sullenly evading her eyes. "Well, don't run by me that way stand still!" said the old woman. "What d'ye mean by rotten?" "Aw, I mean rotten!" said George ungraciously.
He picked up one bundle and, carrying it out, raised his voice. A man, who had shrunk, it seemed, from entering the house, showed his face in the light which streamed from the door. To this fellow he gave the bundle, and shouldering the other, he went heavily out, leaving the door wide open behind him.
Squawk before you're hurt!" grunted Elisha's owner, shouldering his way through the crowd to the next stand. This bookmaker was an immensely fat gentleman with purplish jowls and piggy eyes which narrowed to slits as they rested upon the corpulent roll of bills which Old Man Curry was holding up to him. "Don't want it," he wheezed. "What ails it?"
