It sometimes happens at cricket that when one feels particularly fit one gets snapped in the slips in the first over, or clean bowled by a full toss; but neither of these things happened to Mike. He stayed in, and began to score. Now there were no edgings through the slips and snicks to leg. He was meeting the ball in the centre of the bat, and meeting it vigorously.
In fact, a couple of very good country agencies happening to come up to town, at the same time, an agreeable little party had been got together to meet them, comprising Mr. Snicks, the Life Office Secretary, Mr.
A few slashes at the rigging, and a couple of snicks at the spars themselves, sent the sticks over the side quick enough; the brig stood up again and rode easier.
Is the Eton bowler trying to kill or maim his antagonist? Is he deliberately endeavouring to establish a paralysing "funk"? But the fourth ball is a "fizzer" the right length, a bailer, terrifically fast, but just off the wicket. Desmond snicks it between short slip and third man; it goes to the boundary. "That's what Caesar likes," says the Duffer.
His swift, practised fingers rapidly explored the intricacies of the long, soft band which had been wound twice or thrice round the waist of the Ruby King.

The note ran thus: '3 o'clock. The Narrow Gauge has won. We are utterly done; and Snicks tells me you bought five hundred more yesterday, at ten. Is it possible? 'f.
'Just about have to side her up an' see what she'll bear. But hadn't we best ? Jesse paused in his turn, both men being artists and equals. 'Get some kind o' line to go by. Jabez ranged up and down till he found a thinner place, and with clean snicks of the handbill revealed the original face of the fence.
Very few of us did it. Somehow we couldn't seem to wake up. Here and there a hardy spirit compasses the feat. All the town is asleep when this boy slips out of his front-gate and snicks the latch behind him softly.
