No mere distraction could shunt it off its course, as with Archie, who drank and gambled and played polo and shouted and laughed in order not to think of the many disagreeable things there were to think about when he allowed himself to lapse into a sober mood.
"No, I never told her anything," he said. "And I made it impossible for her to ask. I couldn't urge extenuating circumstances because there weren't any. Moreover, it wouldn't have made a ha'porth's difference if I had. So shunt the subject like a good fellow! She must take me at my worst at my worst, do you hear? or not at all." "But, my dear lad, you owe it to her," began Crowther gravely.
Now connect one end of the tickler coil with the detector plate and the other post to the fixed .001 mfd. condenser, then the other end of this to the positive or carbon pole of the B battery. Finally, shunt the head phones and the .001 mfd. fixed condenser and you are ready to try out conclusions. A Regenerative Audio Frequency Amplifier Receiving Set.
And you are quite welcome to take your gun and end it here and now if you feel so disposed. For I warn you, Nap Errol, that you'll find me considerably more in your way than Sir Giles Carfax or any other man. I stand between you already, and while I live you won't shunt me." Nap's lips showed their scoffing smile. "Unfortunately or otherwise you are out of the reckoning," he said.
Next connect one post of the .0007 mfd. condenser with one of the terminals of the detector filament; then connect the other post of this condenser with one post of the .0005 mfd. variable condenser and the other post of this with the grid of the detector, then shunt the megohm grid leak around the latter condenser.
I wondered how much longer I would find myself keen to shunt her mind from any channel leading to suspicion. "Would papa have arrested him?" she asked. "Colonel Sampson might have made it hot for him," I replied frankly, feeling that if what I said had a double meaning it still was no lie. "Oh, I forgot the Ranger!" she exclaimed suddenly. "That awful sight the whole front of him bloody!
"Of everywhere, my dear boy." "Might be going there now, judging from the way he is tearing up the street." "Perhaps he is on a mad tear after Mrs. Haughton." "It's all very well, Vaura, to try, now the dear little fellow is away, to shunt him off on to Mrs. Haughton, he's not on a mad tear after them; you mow 'em down, tares and wheat, together."
And in this work the men distinguished easily the new white blaze-marks on Heinzman's logs; so they were able without hesitation to shunt them one side into the smoother water, as Orde had commanded. About two o'clock the last log shot through. "Now, boys," said Orde, "tear out the booms."
That blow seems to discourage Lester for a week or so, since which he has run true to form. He'll run around with lady typists, or girls from the cloak department, or most anything that wears skirts, until they discover what a tight-wad he is and give him the shunt.
He continued to look at her speculatively. "Well," he said at length, speaking with something of a twang, "I guess your father knows what he's about, but it beats me to understand why he has me here to study. I guess I'd better shunt." "Oh, please don't!" she said quickly. "It isn't you at all. It's only Nap." "Damn Nap!" said Bertie, with some fervour. "Oh, does that shock you?
