It was it was a powerful reptile form, in armor of jetty scales, trailing its six-foot length away, the noise of its mighty tail-blows against the earth and flying pebbles calling all the Dumps the Doleful Dumps out of the dens where they hid here, making them take strange and shadowy shapes, gigantic shapes, of threat. "Let me get out! Oh-h! I want to get out, away anywhere!" shuddered Una.
Hail to thee, six-foot Englishman of the brown eye, worthy to have carried a six-foot bow at Flodden, where England's yeomen triumphed over Scotland's king, his clans and chivalry.
Only in the summer of 1912, when it was necessary to replace some old beams and cut some arches through the six-foot walls was it discovered that the huge partitions covered in their centers walls antedating the coming of the Spaniards walls with the little conical fireplaces of Indian pueblos, with such meal bins and corn shelves as you find in the prehistoric cave dwellings.
'Come in, said Strickland. 'It's a very warm night, isn't it? Bahadur Khan, a great, green-turbaned, six-foot Mahomedan, said that it was a very warm night; but that there was more rain pending, which, by his Honour's favour, would bring relief to the country.

This battery is considered the most formidable of Havana's defenses except Morro Castle. It is masked and has not been absolutely located by the American warships.
Or there may be a fallacy in concluding, from the very slight data furnished by the excavations of M.

"Good, good!" returned the boy, with the air of a connoisseur; "that's worthy of the East End. You should 'ave bin one of us. Now then, old six-foot! wot's your business?" "To deliver this parcel." "'And it over, then." "But I am also to see Mrs Willis, and ask how she is." "Walk in, then, an' wipe your feet. We ain't got a door-mat to-day.
"I've known you were a man since I knew you!" said the hearty Governor. And he helped the still unsteady six-foot to a chair. "As for your nerve, I'll bring you some whiskey now.
