With one sweep of her fore-arm she flung the young one behind her, until it rested against the wall of the ant-hill, and then, following in all haste, threw herself into an erect attitude in front of her young, covering it with her body. She was now standing firm upon her hind-feet her back resting against the mud wall but her long snout had entirely disappeared!
Later, when the camp-fires burned low, the pleasant odor of meat broiling upon the forked ends of long, willow branches over the red coals, proved how even a brindle steer may, at the last, in every savory morsel have justified his existence. Life in those days was painted upon a big canvas, with broad sweep of brushes dipped in vivid colors.
We accordingly extended our search, keeping always a sharp look-out from the mast-head. Old Tom frequently went up himself, spy-glass in hand, to sweep the horizon. At length, about noon on the sixth day, while he was aloft he raised a cheerful shout "Land, land! Away to the eastward; it is the island we are looking for!"
Both my eyes was fill'd at the same time, and I got a crack on the pate from some critter or another that clawed and scratched my head like any thing, and then seemed to empty a bushel of sut on me, and I looked like a chimbly sweep, and felt like old Scratch himself.
It seemed he did not dare do anything! He racked his opium-dulled brain for a suspicion of a plan that might help solve the difficulty, until his eye wandering around the courtyard fell on the black shape of a woman.

Some folks are awful fussy, When e'er they dust or sweep. They'd rather pile the dirt all up In corners, in a heap. "But I just love my housework, For making beds I sigh. I love to wash the tablecloth And make a cherry pie. I knead the bread and bake it, I starch and iron the clothes, I wash the windows Saturday " "That's enough, my goodness knows!" finished Brighteyes for Jennie, with a laugh.
To have attempted to sweep the car from end to end would have been futile, because the period of action of the disintegrators during each discharge did not exceed one second, and distributing the energy over so great a space would have seriously weakened its power to shatter apart the atoms of the resisting substance.
Inscribed: "SAL'O UNO DEI SETE SAVI DI GRECIA CHE DIE LEGE." Solon, one of the seven sages of Greece, who declares laws. One of the seated pupils in this sculpture is remarkably beautiful in the sweep of his flowing drapery. Fifth side. The chastity of Scipio.
