"Help here, lads, help," roared the captain, "a traitor, a traitor!" The words were hardly out of his mouth when his voice was silenced for ever. With one prodigious heave of his whole physical force, Israel smote him over the taffrail into the sea, as if the man had fallen backwards over a teetering chair. By this time the two officers were hurrying aft.
After that there was a great to-do up in the hollow. Teddy watched it all lying on his stomach in the door of the knot-hole, for it was moonlight by this time and almost as bright as day. The little owls got up on the edge of the hollow and there they sat, teetering and flapping and afraid to fly.
We seemed to be standing perfectly still, without any motion of any sort except a tiny teetering motion of the hamper-basket, while the earth and what was on it fell rapidly away from beneath us. At once all sense of perspective became distorted. When on the roof of a tall building this distortion had never seemed to me so great.
The lesser sandpipers, both the spotted and the solitary, teeter along the brooks and ponds, and probe the shallows for tiny worms. Near the woody streams the so-called water thrushes spring up before us. Strange birds these, in appearance like thrushes, in their haunts and in their teetering motion like sandpipers, but in reality belonging to the same family as the tree-loving wood warblers.
He let in the motor until the Thunder Bird went teetering around in a wide half circle and scudded down the level stretch, taking the air easily. "This is an outrage!" Schwab shouted. "Where are you taking me?" "Oh, up in the air a ways," Johnny told him, but the roar of the motor so filled Schwab's unaccustomed ears that he could hear nothing else.
A Chinaman went by, teetering under the weight of his market baskets slung on a pole across his shoulders.
"You see, Jenny, in them days" also, in presence of the picture he lapsed completely into the dialect of his youth "in them days the railroad was teetering and I couldn't tell which way things'd jump. Every cent counted." "I understand perfectly, father," said Jane, her hands on his shoulders from behind. She felt immensely relieved.
Cakes, made generally in graded layers and liberally coated with different coloured sugar, were the favourites. As he held up the last teetering mountain he "bawled": "What am I bid for this wonderful cake? 'Tis a bargain at any price. Why, she's so heavy I can't hold her with one hand." It fetched seven dollars!
The commanding, black old man, and the happy-faced, plump, little yellow woman, had saved one situation and forced another, perhaps? Jasper's home-coming dinner party was a large and successful one. Two of the dear little old Horton lady-cousins got so impatient at Cousin Martha's not bringing me back to Widegables that they came teetering over to see about it, heavily accompanied by Mrs.
"That Alice Jallow is certainly the meanest girl in Deepdale!" declared Mollie, with vehemence. "And Kittie isn't much better," added Grace, with spirit. "I don't see how Margaret can go with them." "She's a newcomer here, that's the reason," said Betty bouncing Betty she was now, for she was whirling about and "teetering" on her skates in a dizzying fashion.
