Father would like to shunt Granny it IS monstrous his having his mother-in-law a fixture under his roof; though, after all, I'm not sure this patience doesn't rank for him as one of those domestic genialities that allow his conscience a bolder and tighter business hand; a curious service, this sort of thing, I note, rendered to the business conscience throughout our community.
"Good heavens, no!" said Merefleet, with an emphasis not particularly flattering to the sex. "Well, then," she said, "p'r'aps it's the sea?" "You may say so for the sake of argument," said Merefleet. "I don't argue," she responded, with what he took for a touch of heat. "If people disagree with me I just shunt." "Excellent policy," said Merefleet, interested in spite of himself.
The motor had its field-magnet circuit in permanent connection as a shunt across the rails, protected by a crude bare copper-wire safety-catch. A switch in the armature circuit enabled the motorman to reverse the direction of travel by reversing the current flow through the armature coils.
Big cottonwoods and oaks grew so thick as partially to conceal the cliffs on either side of us. The rim-rock was mysterious with caves; beautiful with hanging gardens of tree ferns and grasses growing thick in long transverse crevices; wonderful in colour and shape. We passed the little canons fenced off by the rustlers as corrals into which to shunt from the herds their choice of beeves.
"This engine is faster," answered Murphy. "We can shunt the cars on the side-track and run her backwards." "It'll take a half-hour to get her clear," said Fuller. "Come on!" He jumped from the train, and ran up the track. Murphy, still protesting, ran after him. It was their second foot race that day, and they arrived at the station winded. "Cut that engine loose!" yelled Fuller.
This done shunt the potential around the A battery and connect the sliding contact to the or zinc pole of the B battery and the + or carbon pole of this to one terminal of the headphones, while the other terminal of this leads to one of the posts of the second variometer, the other post of which is connected to the plate of the detector tube.
"Huh!" says I. "Lady trailin' old K. W. here, eh? Must be one of the fam'ly." "Oh no, sir," says Vincent. "I'm quite sure it isn't." "Then shunt her, Vincent," says I. "For you can take it from me, K. W. is in no mood to talk with stray females at the present writing. Shoo her." "Ye-e-e-es, sir," says he; "but but I wish you would see her a moment yourself, sir."
If the object was to shunt Rickman Senior altogether, Rickman Junior could be depended on for that, too. She could see that under the influence of his unhappy passion he had absolutely detached himself from his father's interests and his own.
You see, even though we're at pretty long range, they've got some horrible projectors, and they were evidently mad enough to waste some power taking a good, solid flash at us and if we hadn't been expecting it, that flash would have been a bountiful sufficiency, believe me Great Cat! Look at that meter and I've had to throw in number ten shunt!
Some one had told him it was advisable to keep an eye on the luggage. They began to shunt the train, and soon he was stumbling about the sidings in a resolute attempt not to lose sight of the luggage van. We sympathetically wished him good luck and walked past into the Turkish quarter, adopted by two dogs which followed us all the way.
