Dakota got to his feet, walked to a shelf, and took down a small glass, a pair of shears, a shaving cup, and a razor. While Langford watched, staring at him with fearful, wondering eyes, Dakota deftly snipped off the mustache with the shears, lathered his lip, and shaved it clean. Then he turned and confronted Langford.
Thirty miles away the serrated range of the interior stretched across the horizon, its outlines and shades of blue, faint and tremulous like a background painted on airy gossamer on the quivering fabric of an impalpable curtain let down to the plain of alluvial soil; and the openings of the estuary appeared, shining white, like bits of silver let into the square pieces snipped clean and sharp out of the body of the land bordered with mangroves.
"Ah, yes, beauty stoops sometimes to welcome the trembling hand of the suitor." "Your hand is rather unsteady infirm of purpose; give me the blades." She took them laughingly, and snipped the green stems rapidly and dexterously. "Yes, I believe men are infirm in moral purposes, as compared to women. It is only in the brutalities of life that men are decisive."
"Well, yes, I've always rather liked the sound of it; but then, you know, I always saw and felt the spelling, when I saw it. What in the world was the pronunciation ever snipped off like that for? It ought to be pronounced just as it is spelled. I've a good mind to pronounce it so the next time I speak to Esther."
But we were not foolish enough to leave Greater New York on this voyage without our own apparatus. My brother and Coniston and Prince all of us snipped crates of freight consigned to Ferrok-Shahn; and Rankin had special baggage marked 'theatrical apparatus." I understood it now. These brigands had boarded the Planetara with their own Moon equipment, disguised as freight and personal baggage.
So, while Dom Basilio snipped and rent at his bandages, she gazed at my father on the bed, and my father gazed back into her eyes, drinking the love in them; and the faces of both seemed to shine with a solemn awe.
"So it would, dear, but it can do better and we've got plenty of time to fix it. You'll feel ever so much better about it when you see how the other girls are dressed." As Aunt Susan snipped and ripped and rebasted the refractory seam, Elizabeth brought out her little stores of finery to discuss their artistic features. "Look," she said, opening a pasteboard box which held her few ribbons.
"I haven't had your picture at all," I went on; "it was a picture of some one else, and I hadn't thought to look at it for a long time had forgotten it utterly, in fact. That's how I came to think I knew your face before I knew you." "I told you it was nonsense!" and she snipped off a rose with a kind of miniature brusqueness. "But you shall see that I had some reason.
Tony snipped off a rose with her big shears and dropped it into her basket. It rather looked as if she were meaning to snip off Alan Massey figuratively in much the same ruthless manner. "Put it that way, if you like. Only stay away. I mean it." "Why?" he persisted. Thus pressed she turned and faced him.
On this ebony he had pasted side by side several woodcuts snipped from the newspapers of the figures traced on the pieces of papyrus found in the mouths of the dead. I could see, as time passed, that he was concentrating all his powers on these figures; for the details of the deaths themselves were all of a dreary sameness, offering few salient points for investigation.
