The second general Russian offensive, the great forward thrust of the Grand Duke Nicholas toward Cracow in the direction of Berlin, aimed through the center of the German defense, had been met, and the German counterthrust toward Warsaw had come to a standstill in the mud of Poland and before the stone-wall defensive of the Russians on the Bsura and the Rawka.
She's goin' to have him right off, an' he's goin' to buy the house an' fix it up, an' she's goin' to have all his mother's nice things, an' she's comin' home with me now, an' have some nice roast spare-rib an' turnip. There ain't nothin' to take on about." Hannah fairly pulled Sarah off the stone-wall. "Sylvy an' me have got to go," said she.
If people thrust out their horns at me wantonly, they very soon run against a stone-wall; but the moment they show signs of contrition, I soften. It is the best way. Don't insist that people shall grovel at your feet before you accept their apology. That is not magnanimous. Let mercy temper justice.
Usually at recess Nell the Enemy and Margaret had gone wandering away together with their arms around each other's waist, as happy as anything. But for a week of recesses now they had gone wandering in opposite directions the Enemy marching due east, Margaret due west. The stone-wall stretched away to the west. She had found a nice lonesome little place to huddle in, behind the wall, out of sight.
But instead of arriving there, they collided with a forearm which had about the resiliency of a two-foot stone-wall. Simultaneously, Peter released his famous left-hook had of the Bronx Barman at ten dollars a lesson and the fight was over. Mr. Hackley's head struck first, and struck passionately; men picked him up and bore him limply from the field.
A particularly frisky and clover-loving white cow, whose heart yearned after the apples of Sodom, turned about in the road without any warning whatever and showed fight. Keturah adopted a sudden resolution to return home "across lots," and climbed the nearest stone-wall with considerable empressement.
A great proportion of the stone-wall country hereabouts consists of downs divided into large enclosures; when the walls are low there is no reason why the pace should not be almost as good as it is in an unenclosed country.
"'Nay, I shall find little safety in meddling with that deadly instrument, since I know not accurately from which end proceeds the bullet, said Dr. Melmoth. 'But were it not better, seeing we are so well provided with artillery, to betake ourselves, in the event of an encounter, to some stone-wall or other place of strength? "'Like Teucer behind the shield of Ajax, interrupted Dr.
He crossed the floor and opening a cabinet came back with a photograph, which he gave to his companion. "Dick's father. He was famous as a daring rider across an Irish, stone-wall country, and was killed when taking a dangerous leap." Greythorpe studied the face, which was of Irish type, with bold eyes in which a reckless twinkle showed.
So, scrambling down the embankment, and clambering over the stone-wall, I pushed up the hill through bushes and briers, till, having come as near the bird as I dared, I crouched, and awaited further developments.
