For a moment his right hand touched Springer's left shoulder with a steadying pressure. "I'll try," promised Phil huskily. "I'll do my best, captain." While the visitors still howled, "Play ball," Roger stood on the plate and fussed with the strap of his catching mask, which did not need any attention whatever to begin with, but somehow became strangely tangled in the wire meshes.
"They came to tea yesterday and talked about it. I was there: there was a plum cake one of those rich ones from Springer's at Rowington. And they said it would be such a good thing for both of you because he's so awfully rich: the Terror would go to Eton; and you'd go to a good school and get a proper bringing-up and grow up a lady, after all " "I wouldn't go! I should hate it!" cried Erebus.
The bunch is practicing on the field now. He wanted to pack me away into right garden, but I never was built to be a nonentity in the outfield." "I thought likely perhaps you'd do part of the pitching this year. Seems to me they must need you." "Oh, they'll need somebody, all right; but Springer's trying to coach up our cattle puncher, Grant, to do part of the twirling. You don't know Grant.
But only for a moment: the law of life self-preservation again asserted itself, and for the time being I put the past behind me and hurried on toward Thompson Street. It lacked but a few minutes of eight o'clock when, at last, I turned into the squalid street at the end of which stands Springer's.
Michael Angelo designed a superior system of his own, which became a model for future architects in similar constructions. See chapters vi. vii. and viii. of Mr. Charles Heath Wilson's admirable Life of Michel Angelo. Aurelio Gotti's Vita di Michel Agnolo, and Anton Springer's Michael Agnolo in Rome, deserve to be consulted on this passage in the painter's biography.
Squire Joshua Springer's your uncle, aint he?" "Yes, my father's uncle." "Well, he's mine too. His sister's my mother." "I'll send somebody to help you, Mr. Barnes." She took Mr. Carleton's arm, and walked half the way up to the house without daring to look at him. "Another specimen of your countrymen," he said, smiling.
And the game was won by the pitcher who had taken Springer's place in the fifth inning. Like one stunned Roy Hooker passed out through the gate and turned down the street, dully conscious of the continued rejoicing uproar behind him.
The demands of the near and the distant market for this product excite the cupidity of the hardy forester, and a few years of that wild industry of which Springer's "Forest Life and Forest Trees" so vividly depicts the dangers and the triumphs, suffice to rob the most inaccessible glens of their fairest ornaments.
We had still some distance to travel through a dense forest, before we should reach Springer's a farm-house where we intended to stop all night, and where the Doctor kept a store of good things, under the charge of Mrs. Springer; for this was always his halting-place, on his various journeys to Goderich.
William R. Morrison at once came to the rescue of the endangered sinecures and argued that even although these committees had been inactive in the past they "constituted the eyes, the ears, and the hands of the House." In consequence, after a short debate Mr. Springer's motion was rejected without a division.
