He called out with a feeble, tremulous, but cheery voice, "Come in, Stunner come in, Warrington. I knew it was you by the by the smoke, old boy," he said, as holding his worn hand out, and with tears at once of weakness and pleasure in his eyes, he greeted his friend. "I I beg pardon, ma'am, for smoking," Warrington said, who now almost for the first time blushed for his wicked propensity.
The stunner would have been more natural." Suddenly he shivered, and the face he turned to Thorvald was very sober. "How much do they control us?" he asked, his voice dropping to a half whisper as if the walls about them could pick up those words and relay them to other ears. "What can they do?" "A good question." Thorvald lost his light tone.
The contact broke for a moment, then clicked on again. This time it was another voice. "We've got Johnny Coombs down here," it said. "You want him to stay alive, you start moving. Without your stunner." Greg chewed his lip. They could be bluffing ... but they might not be. "I want to see Johnny," he said. On the control panel a viewscreen flickered to life.
Greg pulled the stunner from his holster and tossed it to Tom. The guard let out a roar, twisted free, and met Johnny's fist as he came around. He sagged at the knees and slid to the floor beside the other guard. "All right," Johnny said, "we've dealt the cards, now we'd better play the hand. Tom, you first." Tom pulled the ventilator grill down, and climbed up into the shaft.
Oh, see that beautiful head!" for Essex Maid looked out to discover what all the disturbance was about. Harry paused in his examination of the pony, to go over to the mare's stall. "Whew, what a stunner!" he remarked. "Mr. Evringham said you were to ride her this morning, sir, if you liked. You'll be the first, beside him."
Hardcash is just the size to waltz well with Eva he shows her off to advantage but he is not a man to encourage afterward. She should not be seen walking or talking intimately with a gentleman who has less than ten thousand a year." Mrs. Stunner delivered this ultimatum with the tone of a just judge who will hear of no appeal.
After tea Charlie managed to get up quite close to me in a corner, and he said in a low voice that I was "a stunner," and that if I would just "give him the tip," he'd "chuck Cora to-morrow;" that I "could give her fits!" And if that is an English proposal, Mamma, I would much rather have the Vicomte's or the Marquis's. We are coming by the evening train to-morrow; so till then good-bye.
'No; but Billy the Boy's just rode up. I hear him a-talkin' to the gals. He knows if anybody does. I'll take the old moke and put him in the paddock. I can let you have a stunner. 'All right; I'll go in and have some breakfast. It's as much as I dare stop at all now. 'Why, Dick Marston, is that you? No, it can't be, said both girls together. 'Why, you look like a ghost.
Tom gripped the Markheim tightly, and he dialed it down to a narrow beam. Nobody had ever been killed by a stunner ... but a direct hit with a narrow beam could paralyze a man for three days. There was movement at the far end of the airlock corridor. A helmeted head peered around the turn in the corridor; then two men in pressure suits moved into view, walking cautiously, weapons in hand.
I felt myself a bit of a hypocrite in all this, but the doctor's boy did not know that, and I noticed that as I passed my people in review he only said "Is she any good?" or "Is he a stunner?" At length my great moment came and with a fluttering heart I took it. "Haven't you got a sister?" I said. "Not me!" said the doctor's boy, with a dig of emphasis on the last word which cut me to the quick.
