"You ain't gonna walk across the log," he told her with a broad grin. "I'll carry you pickaback. C'mon, Molly, slide off. That's right. Now when I stoop put yore arms round my neck. I'll stick my arms under yore legs.
The door was just sufficiently opened to give passage to the latter, was hastily closed, and the bolt was heard to slide. But two hours later Eugene appeared, and greeted his two faithful attendants with a gracious inclination of the head. "Now, Conrad," said he, "I am ready to oblige you by taking my breakfast.
By constantly appealing to Miss Vincent he made their conversation together seem as under her conduct; and she took a slide on some French phrases with little Emile.
"The company must be very agreeable which can make time slide away so very deceitfully." "Upon my honour," said he, "the most agreeable I ever saw.

Against the rock trail on the other side of the snow slide, three men stood waving frantically.
Endow the members of a community with equal properties, positions, powers, and they will forthwith begin to slide into inequalities.

But Stephen Stephen gone, what 'old 'ad Chuff on Olga?"
"Get a couple of reins, tie them together, and then slide down from the wall." "Good!" exclaimed Denham; and, after a pause: "Better! Yes, that will do. Start from the far corner?"
