"Which is the nearest way to Headcorn?" repeats Barnabas, scowling blackly; whereat the fellow answers to the point and Barnabas falls to his feverish striding to and fro until, glancing from the watch in his hand to "The Terror's" lofty crest, observing that his heaving flanks labor no more and that he paws an impatient hoof, Barnabas thrusts watch in fob, tightens girth and surcingle and, having paid his score, swings himself stiffly into the saddle and is off and away, while the gaping ostlers stare after him through the falling rain till he has galloped out of sight.
When this is freed the loop, E, at once tightens around the victim, as the cord is drawn taut by the releasing of the spring a shrub bent over and secured by the upper end of the cord. This spring is not shown in the drawing. Spring snare, Kok-o'-lang. Bontoc has two or three quadrupeds which it names "cats." One of these is a true cat, called in'-yao.
The handcuffs were of that type which tightens with pressure as the lock tumbler slides over a series of notches. With such an arrangement the wrist can be squeezed and pinched in a refinement of torture that is disabling. Dawson now clasped his fist around the bracelet which he meant to leave locked.
Sorry in something of a hurry " "Hold on; some one wants to see you." "Have to do later." "Don't say so, John. Important, I tell you." "So is this. Good-by." The professor is not so easily shaken off, but tightens his hold. John will have to dislodge him by muscular force. "Are you coming?" asks the Sister. "Yes, when I have broken loose from the hands of this madman."
First thing you know he's thrown up his honest, humdrum position oh, I've seen it hundreds of times and takes to hanging round the customers' rooms down there on La Salle Street, and he makes a little, and makes a little more, and finally he is so far in that he can't pull out, and then some billionaire fellow, who has the market in the palm of his hand, tightens one finger, and our young man is ruined, body and mind.
Round it stand the snug out-buildings, barn, corn-chamber, cider-press, stables, with a blinker'd horse in every doorway munching, while his driver tightens buckles, whistles and looks down the lane, dallying to begin his labour till the milkmaids be gone by.
As it tightens sufficiently she allows it to wrap on the spindle and repeats the operation until the spindle is full. The spinning is done loosely or tightly, according to the fineness of the weave required in the blanket. The quality and value of a Navaho blanket is governed largely by the fineness of the weave.
I was very curious to know what had become of the doolies. I jumped into bed for that reason. Next minute I heard the double click of a cannon and my hair sat up. It is a mistake to say that hair stands up. The skin of the head tightens and you can feel a faint, prickly bristling all ever the scalp. That is the hair sitting up.
and the 'basis of the soul, in the truest sense, is that one God- laid foundation on which whosoever buildeth shall never be confounded, nor ever need to change with changing time. Are we building there? and do we find that life, as it advances, but tightens our hold on Jesus Christ, who is our hope?
A villain proclaims himself on his first appearance unless John Silver be an exception and retains his villainy until the rope tightens about his neck in the last chapter but one; the very last being set aside for the softer commerce of the hero and heroine. You will remember that about twenty years ago a fine crop of such stories came out of the Balkans.
