She gave herself no time to think, but went up to her flower-stand and began to cut the geranium blossoms and the rose. The fuchsias hung in flaunting grace. They were dearer to her than all. She snipped them recklessly, and because the bunch seemed meagre still, broke the top from her sweet-scented geranium and disposed the flowers hastily in the midst.
His flashlight probed the maze of wiring and he located the signal wire. Fishing into the spaghetti with his fingers, he got thumb and forefinger on it and tried to break it. The wire held. He fumbled in his belt kit and found a pair of side-cutting pliers. They would do. He reached in and snipped the circuit wire, then he slumped down on the deck and mopped rivulets of water from his face.
And then she said to two chubby-legged princes, who were sturdy though small, 'Bring me in the royal rag-bag: I must snip and stitch and cut and contrive. So these two young princes tugged at the royal rag-bag, and lugged it in; and the Princess Alicia sat down on the floor, with a large pair of scissors and a needle and thread, and snipped and stitched and cut and contrived, and made a bandage, and put it on, and it fitted beautifully; and so when it was all done, she saw the king her papa looking on by the door.
"The poker, boy! it could cut poker, tongs, shovel, and fender, all at once!" replied Mrs Marrot "well, I never! can it do anything else?" In reply to this the man took up several pieces of hard steel, which it snipped through as easily as it had cut the iron.
"That doesn't speak very well for your acquaintances," snipped Zoie. Even HER temper was beginning to assert itself. "I won't bicker like this," declared Alfred. "That's what you always say, when you can't think of an answer," retorted Zoie. "You mean when I'm tired of answering your nonsense!" thundered Alfred.
"Make haste, take it!" she cried, giving back the portrait. "Don't hang it up now, afterwards. I don't want to look at it." She sat down on the sofa again. "One life is over and another is begun, then that one is over a third begins, and so on, endlessly. All the ends are snipped off as it were with scissors. See what stale things I'm telling you. Yet how much truth there is in them!"
"So you do know some French," I said as I snipped off poppy-heads; "you have always pretended you don't." "Oh, keep the poppies, mummy," cried April, as she saw them tumbling into her basket; "if you picks them and just leaves them, then they ripes and is good for such a many things." "Tell me about the diable" I said, "and you shall keep the poppies."
Marquand was pacing up and down the floor. Suddenly, forgetful of the danger that lurked out there, he poked his head out of the window. A sharp pat on the stone window frame beside him, after the bullet had snipped off the tip of his left ear, caused Mr. Marquand to draw back suddenly.
Then she reappeared in her new riding-habit of myrtle green, which fitted her to the waist as a rind fits its fruit; and young Bob Coggan led on her mare, Boldwood fetching his own horse from the tree under which it had been tied. Oak's eyes could not forsake them; and in endeavouring to continue his shearing at the same time that he watched Boldwood's manner, he snipped the sheep in the groin.
