We watched her take the shade down, wind up the spring, fit the pins back into their sockets, and then test the flap. It was in good working order now "No, she is not a slob," he repeated, exultantly. "And she is not a gossiping sort, either. She just minds her own business." At this point Dora came over to the table where we sat. "Move along!" he said, gaily. "Don't disturb us.
Straining his eyes in an upward look along the steep slope, he stared a moment, then saw the knife, point first, slide over the verge of the bulge and down upon him. He tucked his cheek to it, shrank from the pang of cut flesh, tucked more tightly, and felt the knife come to rest. "I'm a slob," came the wail down the crevasse. "Cheer up, I've got it," Smoke answered. "Say! Wait!
He's 'incompetent, he's 'a grafter, 'he's 'afraid of the big kennels, he's 'drunk. He's any of these things; or all of them put together. Nobody's satisfied. Everybody has had a raw deal. Everybody's hammer is out for the poor slob of a judge. Well, not everybody's, of course. There are some real sportsmen left crawling on the surface of the earth.
We were now resting on a piece of ice about ten by twelve feet, which, as I found when I came to examine it, was not ice at all, but simply snow-covered slob frozen into a mass, and I feared it would very soon break up in the general turmoil of the heavy sea, which was increasing as the ice drove off shore before the wind.
Yet the small peasant cultivators on an islet near Islandavanna flatly refused to work at the "slob." Smoking a pipe and looking at a cow and calf grazing was a more congenial occupation, so they preferred staying at home. The slob work was too hard entirely.
For it was a new kind which contained an exothermic ingredient. They ate, in the absence of gravity, by squeezing the bottles. "Guess we'll have to become asteroid-hoppers miners like the slob said," Nelsen growled. "Well I did want to try everything..." This was to become the pattern of their lives. But not right away. They still had an incomplete conception of the vast distances.
You was always a bigger man than me, and when you led I followed for a real man had rather follow a strong bad man than a good slob any day. You out of the lead, I got nothing to follow but me own wishes, and they're all to the good these days." "A woman?" said Blizzard sternly.
I dragged off my oilskins and threw myself on my hands and knees beside the komatik so as to give a larger base to hold, shouting at the same time to my team to make a dash for the shore. We had not gone twenty yards when the dogs scented danger and hesitated, and the komatik sank instantly into the soft slob. Thus the dogs had to pull much harder, causing them to sink also.
If this big fat slob is going to claim half my mine, you can law us he'll have to pay the bills. Now git, you old dastard, and if you horn in here again I'll show you where you head out!" He waved him away, and Dusty Rhodes slunk off, for a guilty conscience makes cowards of us all; but Judson Eells stood solid as adamant, though his lawyer was whispering in his ear.
I can stand a lot, but there's a limit." Herbert turned his head away for a moment to conceal the gleam of satisfaction that sprang into his eyes, coughing behind his hand. "You're made of different stuff from that soft slob Hooker," he said. "I did think that Hook had some sand and spirit, but I've changed my mind; he has just about as much backbone as a jellyfish.
