The assistant wiggled his controls gently and the beaker jiggled back and forth, a few inches off the floor. Peterson, who had been watching closely, called out. "Do that again." The operator jostled the controls. "Look at that," Peterson exclaimed. "That stuff's hardened." A quick movement confirmed this and then Peterson ordered the beaker raised five feet from the floor and slowly tipped.
They came back presently, and by that time the girl, who had opened some of the packages, held a roll of fabric upon her knee. "If you can find a splash anywhere I'll forfeit a dollar. Charley's good at mopping up," said Alton gravely. "I'm afraid that stuff's a little wet, but it was the Cayuse's fault. He started in kicking and burst the rope, you see."
"Well, couldn't we?" said Spike, doggedly. "It ain't often youse butts into a dead-easy proposition like dis one. We shouldn't have to do a t'ing excep' git busy. De stuff's just lyin' about, boss." "I shouldn't wonder." "Aw, it's a waste to leave it." "Spike," said Jimmy, "I warned you of this. I begged you to be on your guard, to fight against your professional instincts. Be a man! Crush them.
"He might have died while that fool conduct-guard was saying his piece. I've fixed him, though. The stuff's due in about five minutes, but there's a heap to him. I don't see how we can make him take exercise." For the moment I felt as though seven pounds of crushed ice had been neatly applied in the form of a compress to my lower stomach. "How how did you manage it?" I gasped.
You get out all your old rubbish, of whatsoever kind, and get it ready to be carted away; and the town pays for the stuff's being removed to some place where it can be burned or buried." "My soul and body!" ejaculated Aunt 'Mira. "Jest the same as though the town was cleanin' house." "That's it exactly," said Janice, nodding.
"What is the use of lying like that?" I said angrily. "You don't seem to credit me with any sense at all. Do you think I never read the papers and magazines? You can't have called in your work. The stuff's still being printed over the signatures of Sidney Price, Tom Blake, and the Rev. John Hatton." I caught sight of a Strawberry Leaf lying on the floor beside his chair. I picked it up.
That blasted stuff's cooked my innards to rags, an' I kin feel my backbone a-sizzlin'. Say, Steward, do, for the Lord's sake, come here, an' take this thing off, while there's a little life left in me." STEWARD. "Can't do anything yet. You must grin and bear it a little while longer." EIGTH TEN MINUTES. "Holy smoke! I couldn't suffer more if I was in the lake of burnin' brimstone.
Higgins, the engineer, kicked deeply into the black dirt of the bridle path. "Muck. Good enough. If your stuff's like this you're a rich man." "Don't you notice anything else about this place?" "What do you mean?" Higgins, less sensitive than his employer, required more time to feel the jungle's spell.
The stuff's powerful comfortin' when you git tired of rememberin' I've noticed that."
When it's bin rain for a day or two th' wark's as heavy again. Th' stuff's heavier to lift, an' worse to wheel; an' th' ground is slutchy. That tries 'em up, an' poo's their shoon to pieces; an' men that are wakely get knocked out o' time with it. But thoose that can stand it get hardened by it. There's a great difference; what would do one man's constitution good will kill another.
