"That depends on the state of the water and the speed of the current," said the older boy. "It's no trouble to go fifty miles a day straightaway traveling, or farther if we had to. Some days they didn't make over six or eight miles going up, but coming down why, they just flew!" "That wouldn't take us long to go clear through to where Uncle Dick is." "A few weeks or so, at least, I hope.
It was not, I think, that he "put his trust in God," but that when something had to be done he did it, and entirely disregarded logic or economics or force. He said such a thing has to be done and so far as one man can do it I will do it, and he bowed straightaway to the task.
Below this was a great wide beach of pure white sand as firm as a well-paved road, and fairly crowded with bathers. This beach was known throughout the world as an automobile race course, and many a speed record had been made on it. "So this is the famous Old Harbor Beach race course?" said Jiminy, as he eyed the straightaway.
He doesn't figure on the other fellow's mind at all; doesn't realize that a man like Schwandorf is bound to outguess him on such straightaway tactics and isn't at all likely to play into his hands. But that's the exact situation. The German will outguess him, and it's up to him to outguess the German in turn. We'll do his guessing for him.
This route I approve of, as it will not only take me through some of the most interesting country in Asia, but will probably be a more straightaway continuous land-journey than any other.
I knew of this charco, so I made for it." "Who told you there was water in the arroyo?" "Those Mexicans at the little-goat ranch." "Balli. So you walked in from Arroyo Grande. Lord! It's a good ten miles straightaway, and I reckon you came crooked. Eh?" "Yes. And it was very hot. I was never here but once, and the country looks different when you're afoot." "It certainly does," the man nodded.
Go home to your mammy, straightaway, and the sooner the better." This was the manner, thought Joel Rae, that Federal officials should be treated when they were out of sympathy with Zion though he thought he might perhaps have chosen words that would be more dignified had the task been entrusted to him.
He lifted a hand in signal, and Johnny leaned backward, digging in his heels instead of his toes. The huge man-made dragon fly stopped, buzzing vibrantly. Bland Halliday beckoned imperiously, and Johnny went up to where he could hear. "I'm going to try her out on a straightaway first, before I take you in," Bland leaned to shout. "Tell the girl she can be ready to snap me when I come back.
You must skate straightaway until you have gained sufficient headway, then at the end of the last stroke turn the toes out so that the runners of your skates make a straight line, heel to heel, one skate following the other. In this position you will glide over the ice until the momentum first gained is exhausted.
The picture shows a sheep with twins by its side, and was the only painting the artist ever finished straightaway, instead of working on a number at the same time, as was his wont. The picture was in the possession of Mr. Graves.
