'Oh, sixes, I answered, 'unless they are very stretchy indeed, in which case they had better be five and three-quarter. "'Oh, and the stitching on the cream is to be black, I added. That was another thing I had forgotten. "'Thank you very much, said Mr. Jansen; 'is there anything else that you require this morning?

He told himself that in the matter of Stretchy Gorman he would be as another Jawbert. By way of a beginning he took advantage of leisure hours to trace out the criminal history of his destined victim.

But in the night the pup would get stretchy and brace his feet against the old man's back and shove, grunting complacently the while; and now and then, being warm and snug, grateful and happy, he would paw the old man's back simply in excess of comfort; and at yet other times he would dream of the chase and in his sleep tug at the old man's back hair and bark in his ear.

"You got nothin' on me now, Jew, and you never will have. Well, come on, you bulls, let's be goin' along. I wouldn't want the neither one of you for steady company. One of you is too polite and the other'n too meek for my tastes." The man who was called Stretchy Gorman spoke a prophetic word when he said the police had nothing on him.

Max Meltzer collapsed in an attitude of mock prostration against a stock-shelf. "Gee! that must have been cracked before the first nut." "Smarty!" Across the specially priced mill-ends she flashed the full line of her teeth, and with an intensity his features ill concealed he noted how sweet her throat as it arched. "It's the spring fever gets inside of me and makes me so stretchy, Miss Sadie.

You couldn't get inside a riddle with a can-opener. 'Cause you're stuck on me! Gee!" "Well, I am." "I didn't ask you why you was like a bottle of glue. I asked you why you was like a rubber band." "Aw, I give up, Miss Sadie." "'Cause you're so stretchy, see? 'Cause you're so stretchy you'll yawn your arm off if you don't watch it."

In Stretchy Gorman's operations Stretchy acted as his own lookout, and a highly competent one he was, too, with a preference for lurking in areaways while his lieutenants carried forward the more arduous but less responsible shares of the undertaking. In the darkness behind Ginsburg where he crouched a long gorilla's arm of an arm reached outward and downward, describing an arc.

Any hour, in a campaign to harry the gangster to desperation by means of methods that are common enough inside the department, he might have invoked competent and willing assistance, for the word had filtered down from on high, where the seats of the mighty are, that those mysterious forces aloft would look complacently upon the eternal undoing of the Stretchy Gormans and their titular leader, no matter how accomplished.

"But you can see in her big, stretchy faraway eyes that she ain't thinkin' about Hugh Walsingham, that she's always thinkin' about Seth and wishin' it was him a drivin' with her in that stylish little trap of hers." She stopped to read a postal card. "Cyclona's a fine young woman," she resumed, "and a beautiful young woman, if she is brown as a gypsy, but the wind has left a wheel in her head.

Next, the sun come a-blazing up gay and splendid, and then we began to feel rusty and stretchy, and first we knowed we was all asleep. WE went to sleep about four o'clock, and woke up about eight. The professor was setting back there at his end, looking glum. He pitched us some breakfast, but he told us not to come abaft the midship compass. That was about the middle of the boat.
