These had a knack of catching a fellow's feet, and causing him to sprawl forward on his face and hands, whereupon his knapsack would hit him an astounding thwack on the back. After three-quarters of an hour of this fun, very muddy, clammy with perspiration, and thoroughly winded, the party reached firmer ground, and the guides called a halt.
The later birth is that of another person, an altogether different being, unrelated to the first a new John Smith succeeding to the late Tom Jones. Let us not be misled here by a false analogy. Today I may get a thwack on the mazzard which will give me an intervening season of unconsciousness between yesterday and tomorrow.
Her riding crop descended with a thwack, first upon Royal's round flank, then upon Snowdrift's and finally upon Apache's side as she cried: "You-all hush up and ride. I'll beat you to Four Corners or die in the attempt!" The sudden onslaught brought the result to be expected.
Down came the cutlass with a sudden thwack, cutting deep into the trunk of a small tree, which trembled under the shock and sent a shower of nuts of a large size down upon the sailor's head.
"Mr. Kinney, Mrs. Hubbard," said Bartley; and having accomplished the introduction, he hit Kinney a thwack between the shoulders with the flat of his hand that drove him stumbling across Marcia's footstool into the seat on the sofa to which she had pointed him. "You old fool, where did you come from?"
I have seen an Indian sink his hamaca posts into sand with one swift, concentrated motion, mathematical in its precision and surety, so that he might enter at once into a peaceful night of tranquil and unbroken slumber, while I, a tenderfoot then, must needs beat my stakes down into the ground with tremendous energy, only to come to earth with a resounding thwack the moment I mounted my couch.
It came down on Little's shoulder, and only just missed his head. Again it came down, and with terrible force. Up to this time he had fought as mute as a fox. But now that it had come to mere butchery, he cried out, in his agony, "They'll kill me. My mother! Help! Murder! Help!" "Ay! thou'lt never forge no more!" roared Cole, and thwack came down the crushing bludgeon. "Help! Murder!
"What are you staring at?" he asked solemnly. "If you need anything, let the cat out of the bag!" "Ah, it's the tureen there!" said his brother, the carpenter, without moving a muscle. "My wife would be glad to borrow it a moment, she says." His wife, taken aback, started up and gave him a thwack on the back. "Monster!" she said, half ashamed, and laughing.
"No, a thousand times no! Take her away life's too short; take her away! Let her marry the fellow; he's young and may get over it." The duke was furious. He looked around for something to strike, and nothing but the table being convenient, he smashed a leaf and sent a vase clattering to the floor. He was stronger than the prince, otherwise there wouldn't have been a table to thwack.
The material body touches the aerial structure and down with a crash the castle comes back we pitch into the foundations, and thwack, bump, thwack, comes the masonry tumbling about us, bruising, wounding. George had built the castle. Mary had sat by twittering and clapping her hands for glee as higher and higher it rose.
