At this narrative Antinous covered his face with both hands, and murmured in terror: "Frightful, frightful! What can be hanging over us? Only listen, how it thunders, and the rain thrashes the tent." "The clouds are pouring out torrents; see the water is coming in already. The slaves must dig gutters for it to run off.
He plants his hands in the pockets of a long dirt-brown cloak, and shouts out from the distance as soon as he sees me: "Hey you, man! What are you doing over here?" I approach, I explain to him the motive that brings me. He thrashes his arms about and bawls: "Go in again! You have no right to walk about in this garden until they give you your costume."
Still, Schumpeter believed in the faculty of "disruptive technologies" and "destructive creation" to check the power of oligopolies to set extortionate prices, lower customer care standards, or inhibit competition. Linux threatens Windows. Opera nibbles at Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Amazon drubbed traditional booksellers. eBay thrashes Amazon.
"He has a loud voice, and thrashes round in his pulpit, as if he were a prophet," said Grant, not quite knowing how to finish his sentence. "Your father never was a man to push himself forward. He is very modest." "I suppose that is not the only bill that we owe," said Grant. "No; our unpaid bills must amount to at least two hundred dollars more," answered his mother. Grant whistled.
As a machine that German workmen have invented and that is called a thrasher, but is at the same time a chopper—it has chains and knives, and cuts up the straw and thrashes the grain at the same time—so did Sprinkler and Razor work together, slaughtering their enemies, one from above and the other from below.
Jenny Wren giggled. "That's just like him," said she. "It is because he thrashes his tail around so much that he is called a Thrasher. I suppose he was wearing his new spring suit." "I don't know whether it was a new suit or not, but it was mighty good looking," replied Peter.
"That's right!" exclaimed Ernest's companion. "I'm glad you treated him so. It's the only way. If I was bigger I would, but he thrashes me so unmercifully whenever I stick up against him that I've got rather sick of opposing him." "Help me," said Ernest, "and we'll see what can be done." The other boy put out his hand, and pressing that of the new-comer, said, "I will."
Since then I have battled with salmon in northern waters, I have felt my line strain under the tarpon's despair, I have heard my reel sing with the rushes of the bass, yet I do not believe that a whale with my harpoon in his side, as he thrashes the sea, would give me the same exulting thrill that came with a tiny trout's first tug at my hook.
I've got a relation back t' Michigan who's ben hot an' cold on the idea o' comin' West f'r some time. Might come if he could get a good lay-out. What do you talk on the farm?" "Well, I d' know. I'll rent it on shares or I'll rent it money rent." "Waal, how much money, say?" "Well, say ten per cent, on the price two-fifty." "Wall, that ain't bad. Wait on 'im till 'e thrashes?"
He saves more picking up horseshoes when the snow melts than many persons do in all their lives. He works all the year round: he thrashes in midwinter with the thermometer below zero. The hard times affect him no more than a fly would a rhinoceros. This is perfectly exasperating to the poor spendthrift, good-for-nothing, lazy part of the community.
