Where are the books that Varro made The pride of dilettante Rome With divers portraitures inlaid Swiped from so many another tome? The worms devoured them long ago O wretched worms! ye should have fed Not on the books "extended" so, But on old Varro's flesh instead! Alas, that Marcus Varro lives And is a potent factor yet! Alas, that still his practice gives Good men occasion for regret!
Williams, dismounting, was bending over his companion Overland, who had suddenly slipped from the saddle. "Where's he punctured?" queried Bud Light. Williams examined the prostrate man. "Kind of low down, and in the side. 'T ain't bad, but it's bad enough. Got any whiskey?" "You bet! I got a pocket-gun here. Swiped it in the saloon." And Pars Long handed a flask to Williams.
Jo, was they aimin' to cut your pretty throat?" Jo shuddered. "Thank Heaven I was blindfolded!" was her grateful thought. "But how ridiculous, boys! A razor! If they'd wanted to kill me, at least one of them had a gat. Ask Hiram." "Maybe they was just goin' to cut you loose and tell you why they'd swiped you, when the Gentle Wild Cat went wild again," suggested Gulick.
Well, him and Leon had gone into the home-made wine business last fall, utilizin' all them grapes we grew out in the back lot, and only the day before they'd gone through the process of rackin' it from one barrel into another. It was the stuff that was left in the bottom that Joe had swiped for his pets.
"It is reported that Delbridge, the feller you started out to race against so big, has swiped the bank presidency right from under your nose, nabbed the cream of the business, and put it on a respectable footing." "That is all true," Mostyn admitted. Thrusting his hand into his pocket, he drew out the check he had written. It fluttered in the air, for he held it unsteadily.
The noon appointments came so thick I had to send Eddie out to bring me a bite." "What kind of a day?" "Everything smooth but the designing-room. Gert done her best, but they don't take hold without you, hon. They can't even get in their heads that gold charmeuse idea Gert and I swiped at the Ritz last night." "Did you tell them I'll be back on the job next week, Phonzie?" "Nothing doing.
He got all them old fellers rhymed right into that book Jereboam, Rehoboam, Meschach, Schadrach, an' Abednego, an' all the whole caboodle, from Adam with an A to Zaccheus with a Z. "That certain was a moral tome, an' no prevarication. It was plumb drippin' with moral from start to finish. You see Eve she set the ball a-rollin' when she swiped them apples.
Gratton began an incoherent pleading, arrested impatiently by Brodie's great voice. "Shut up! You've had your innings; it's mine now. You swiped grub when it's the same thing as slitting a man's gullet. You let another man be killed for what you done. Now you get yours!" He jerked up his rifle. Benny and the Italian let Gratton go and jumped nimbly aside.
Somebody committed it there for you evidently. There was only a few marks of identification, a big set ring with a jagged break in the set that swiped too swift acrost a man's face might leave a ugly scar for life, and if the fellow tried too hard to drown hisself he might wrench a man's right arm so out o' plum he couldn't never do much signin' his name again.
It's a lie that you swiped Upton's blue-book with his composition in it, I suppose. It's a lie that you were going to use it until Daley went up to your room and found it, I dare say. It's " "Yes, it is a lie, and you know it, Sawyer," flamed Steve. "If you tell any story like that around " "I'll tell what I please, kid, and you can't stop me."
