"All right!" shouted the Dodo, getting up excitedly, and hastily fastening on the gloves. "Now then guard!" And he went for the Doctor furiously. The Doctor squared up, and was soon boxing as skilfully as the Dodo. The Palæotherium and the Eterædarium, hearing the noise, came forward and joined the crowd of creatures, which by this time had collected in a ring. And amid shouts of "Go it, Dodo!"
They'll eat my bread and steal my chickens, and then run off with the first scapegrace that gives them a chance." "I think Big Abel did just right," said Betty, fearlessly. The old gentleman squared himself to fix her with his weak red eyes. "Oh, you're just the same," he returned pettishly, "just the same." "But I don't steal your chickens, sir," protested the girl, laughing.
In a way, so far as light hair, blue eyes, ruddy and regular face went, he was not unlike Sir John. But he was much taller, and his neck and shoulders were squared proudly a trick Johnson never learned. The fine effect of his figure was enhanced by a fawn-colored top-coat, with a graceful little cape falling over the shoulders.
One common form is curved inward at the sides like a portion of a cylinder some 4 feet in length by 2½ in width: another is six-sided a diamond pattern, but with the points of the diamond squared away. Sometimes it is oval. In construction it is of wicker-work or wood, covered with leather, and embossed a blazon in metal-work, one particularly well known being that of a thunderbolt.
I followed down a narrow but well-beaten trail, and so at the end of a half-mile came to the meadow and the post of Cloche. The building itself was accurately of the Hudson Bay type a steep, sloping roof greater in front than behind, a deep recessed veranda, squared logs sheathed with whitewashed boards.
Odd as it might seem, the steamer's people now fancied they were sure of the Swash. There she was, coming directly for them, with squared yards! The distance was short, or a vessel could not have been seen by that light, and the two craft were soon near each other. A gun was actually cleared on board the steamer, ere it was ascertained that the stranger was the schooner!
Reade as long and as well as I do you'll understand that he doesn't ask or need any backing. Mr. Reade wants only what's right -but he's going to have it if he has to move a township." Tom departed, swinging the belt and revolver from his right hand. "I'm through here," muttered Leon, snatching off his apron. "That is, just as soon as I've squared up accounts with that kid."
In these shaded paths it is absolutely necessary that the whole road should be made of logs of wood, which are squared and placed by the side of each other. From the rays of the sun never penetrating the evergreen foliage, the ground is so damp and soft, that except by this means neither man nor horse would be able to pass along.
It was the face of a typical prize-fighter; of one who had put in long years of service in the squared ring and, by that means, developed and emphasized all the marks of the fighting beast. It was distinctly a lowering countenance, and, that no feature of it might escape notice, it was clean-shaven. The lips were shapeless and constituted a mouth harsh to excess, that was like a gash in his face.
George admitted he was not a sailor, but professed a willingness to learn, and looked so capable, as he squared his bulky shoulders and twisted his fine black mustache, that Cleggett engaged him, taking him immediately from the dairy lunch room in which he had been employed.
