The rain pricked the water's surface into innumerable puckers. "Little boys dancing up," said aunt Corinne, in time-honored phrase. "No; it's bees stingin' the water," said her nephew, "with long stingers that reach clear out of the clouds." These sky-bees stung the dusty road until it lay first in dark dimples and last in swollen mud rows and shallow pools.

You'll get stung while doing it." The men on the hillside had knotted themselves into a jostling group before the door of a long, low structure sheathed with tarred paper like the shacks. In the sunshine an occasional glint flashed above their heads. "Yes, their stingers are out," remarked the elderly man drily.

"I have the hornet's nest. Isn't it big? We had a fight with the hornets. I ran away, but Buster and Wink are chuck full of stingers. They want you to come quick. Buster is howling real loud." Dr. Grand-daddy trotted along the pine-needle path. "Oh, Grand-daddy, those hornets were full of hot prickers!" sobbed Buster. "Wait a bit, kiddies," he called.

The owner of the beak felt it so keenly, that he lost temper and made another savage assault, which was met in much the same way, with this difference, that his opponent delivered several more stingers on the unfortunate beak, which after that would have been more correctly described as a bulb.

Jake Berger ordered, though finding you couldn't get stingers here and having to take two miner's inches of red whiskey, and the New Yorker begun to warn us in low tones that we was surrounded by danger on every hand that we'd better pour our drink on the floor because it would be drugged, after which we would be robbed if not murdered and thrown out into the alley where we would then be arrested by grafting policemen.

He saw them wheel and bank into the sun. They would be coming downstairs to have a look. Possibly they had been warned by radio to look for him. A minute later he spotted five more planes and these he was able to check. They were FW 190 fighters and they were coming up from the direction of Ostende on the Belgium coast. Then he saw two Me 109 Stingers slipping in from the other side.

Grey did not like to give Lady Channice "stingers"; therefore she now became red and wondered at herself. Lady Channice had lifted her eyes and it was as if Mrs. Grey saw walls and moats and impenetrable thickets glooming in them. She answered for Augustine: "My husband and I have always been in perfect agreement on the matter." Mrs. Grey tried a cheerful laugh; "You won him over, too, no doubt."

She knew her danger and expected to be badly injured by the multitude of stinging bees, but to her surprise the little creatures were unable to fly close enough to her to stick their dart-like stingers into her flesh. They swarmed about her in a dark cloud, and their angry buzzing was terrible to hear, yet the little girl remained unharmed.

I notice, too, that the 'Courier' sneaks in little stingers at the Jews occasionally they may just get in by mistake, but you ought to have a rule at the office against printing stories as old as the hills about Jews burning down their clothing-stores to get the insurance. I've known a few Gentiles that did that. The only man I know that I'd lend money to without security is a Jew.
