And yet that spray was choking.
As her elders stood still, petrified, mute and motionless with amazement, she imprinted a loud smack on the lad's lips, laid her cheek roguishly to his and peered archly at them, saying: "Glad to see you again, Pulfennius; what do you think of me for a daughter-in-law?" "I do not think of you for a daughter-in-law," Pulfennius snarled furiously. He turned angrily to Brinnarius.
Mr Denning laughed, and I saw him turn his back to the direction in which Mr Frewen had gone. "Tlat!" went Bob Hampton's lips in a loud smack. "Glad when they gents come back, for I want some o' your young lady's hot coffee, bless her! to take the taste o' the hyle out o' my mouth."
The strangest thing is, that all the old crew have stuck together, and the smack is now one of the best managed in the fleet. Joe wouldn't have been made admiral if that wasn't so."

The air and bustle and smack of life about the place attracted me, and I rented an office and continued to read law, from force of habit, I suppose.

Feltre knew the Power, he said; was an example of 'the efficacy of supplications'; he had been 'fatally driven to find the Power, and had found it on the road to Rome, of course: not a delectable road for an English nobleman, except that the noise of another convert in pilgrimage on it would deal our English world a lively smack, the very stroke that heavy body wants.
The clouds seemed to lift like a thick curtain to let in the light of day. I looked round towards the land; I could distinguish its dim outline through the darkness which still hung over it. This convinced me that the mast must have drifted much nearer than when I first got hold of it. This fact, however, tended to increase my anxiety for the fate of the smack.
Several men hailed and saluted Fox as his smack, the Cormorant, went by, but he took no notice except with an idiotic wink of both eyes. "He's bin to the coper," remarked Puffy, as the Cormorant crossed the bow of the Lively Poll. "I say, Lumpy, come here," he added, as Bob Lumsden came on deck. "Have 'ee got any o' that coffee left?" "No, not a drop.
Then they went at it again, and this time both worked savagely, their movements being swift and telling. Watching this battle, Paul Rains began to believe that he was not yet quite Merriwell's match at boxing. "But I am a better man than he is at most anything else," thought the fellow.
