Then, the wire beginning to sag threateningly towards the water, Mac flung his whole weight on to his end of it, and, to his horror, I shot up into the air like a sky-rocket. "Hang on! Keep cool!" Mac yelled, in a frenzy of apprehension, as he swung on his end of the wire.
Sometimes I think it's better to feed the soul and let the body fast. There is a time in life when one brief sky-rocket can produce more joy than ten pairs of shoes." Isabel smiled and glanced at Madame Bernard's lavender satin slipper. The old lady laughed and the soft colour came into her pretty face. "I frankly admit that I've passed it," she said.
"Right you are! How did he take that?" "He went up like a sky-rocket. Said he had a right to know, under the circumstances. I admitted it, but said I could tell him nothing yet. He went away frantic, and I called you." "Um-hm. Well, Mr. Sylvester, suppose you do see him and his boss. See 'em and tell 'em some of the truth.
There was absolutely lacking, in his whole connection with the case, any of that sky-rocket, uncertain theorizing that makes the attitude of so many labour 'organizers' so detrimental, in the public eye, to real labour benefit. New Haven has considerable to thank Mr. Irvine for in his attitude in the past crisis.
Knowing full well that from top to bottom there exists not a loose stone or a dangerous spot, you give the ever-ready steel-horse the rein; faster and faster whirl the glistening wheels until objects "by the road-side become indistinct phantoms as they glide instantaneously by, and to strike a hole or obstruction is to be transformed into a human sky-rocket, and, later on, into a new arrival in another world.
Recovering from his surprise, he drew a second pistol from his belt and levelled it at Lawrence. Thought is quick; quicker even than triggers. His length of limb happily flashed into the youth's mind. Up went his foot with a sudden kick, and away went the pistol into the air, where it exploded after the manner of a sky-rocket! The bandit did not wait for more.
"Now," said the old man, "throw your leg over what you feel and hold fast." The fisherman reached down his hand, and there felt the back of something rough and hairy. He flung his leg over it, and whisk! whizz! off he shot through the air like a sky-rocket. Nothing was left for him to do but grip tightly with hands and feet and to hold fast.
As temporary neglect was the cause of her complaint it was of course easily cured. When quiet had been restored Mrs Bright turned to her son "Now, Billy, my boy, I must send you off immediately." "But what if I won't go off like a bad sky-rocket?" said the boy with a doubtful expression on his face.
"Put that together and see whether it makes a skirt or not. Now, ladies!" The three drew a long breath. It was the sort of sound that comes up from the crowd when a sky-rocket has gone off successfully, with a final shower of stars. "Do you do that often?" ventured Mrs. Orton-Wells. "Often enough to keep my hand in," replied Emma, and led the way to her office. The three followed in silence.
Whether the birds came at them like bomb-shells, or sprung like a sky-rocket through the leafless branches, they met with the same polite attention; though occasionally one would double back on the beaters and get clear away, sailing far into the silver-clear sky.
