"Nothing, sir, except that she is the prisoner Hawker's wife." "Poor woman!" said the tall man. "She has been lately confined, too. I don't think it will be necessary to take her into custody. Take away the prisoners; I shall stay here and search." He began his search by taking the tongs and pulling the fire to pieces.
Terrified at the sacrilegious utterances of the Gallic slave; pale, trembling and shuddering at the thought that, attracted by the dreadful blasphemies of the condemned man, the devil might suddenly appear in person, take possession of the malefactor and carry him straight to hell, Neroweg thundered to the blacksmith at the stove: "Are the tongs still in the brasier and red-hot?"
She answered that it was to keep the burning papers inside the stove. Now from Mace he learnt the real truth. She had used the tongs to take out some of the letters half burnt, letters which in her possession might be one day useful instruments for levying blackmail on her lover.
She has got a very fine forehead, although it is miles too high. She ought to wear a fringe; it would improve her wonderfully. I will cut her hair some day if she will let me. I will cut it and curl it. I have got the dearest little jewel of a pair of curling tongs that ever was seen! Aunt Honora sent it to me in a box with a spirit lamp all complete when I got the rest of my things.
The new footman stared. "Splendid! Tell me, who is she or was she?" My secretary looked me steadily in the eye. "I'm sorry, sir, but but I can't do it. I promised her this morning I wouldn't let it be dragged out of me with red hot tongs." She was indeed attended by faithful slaves. The east wing of the castle was as still as a mouse on the day my house party arrived.
Finding none, he glanced about, and seized a pair of tongs from beside the grate. With them, in order not to confuse any possible finger prints on the bust, he lifted it off. I gave a gasp of surprise. There, in the top of the safe, yawned a gaping hole through which one could have thrust his arm! "What is it?" we asked, crowding about him. "Thermit," he replied laconically. "Thermit?" I repeated.
But she doesn't mind so much since she's gone into politics, hammer and tongs." Now this letter reached Richard Powell in the dingy office in Paris, where he happened to be in consultation with his two advisers who were, with an untiring genius of patience and foresight, interpreting to him daily the soul of France.
"But I'm going to eat here at the house." He shook his head: "You eat at the creek at my table." She had no choice but to obey. When she returned to the pits the stones had been removed and John Frying Pan, with a pair of Sleepy Cat ice tongs, was lifting out the first big chunks of roasted meat.
Society had been for five or six years accustomed to this sort of thing, and supposed Madame and Monsieur completely separated, and all the more so as it had noticed the accession of a Ferdinand II. One evening, in the presence of a dozen persons, this man said to his wife: "Caroline, hand me the tongs, there's a love." It is nothing, and yet everything. It was a domestic revelation.
I led the way to the gymnasium where Jerry and the irritable Carty were resting between rounds. The girl nodded to Jerry, who waved his glove, and took one of the chairs by the ring-side, the obedient Miss Gore next her. "What round?" she asked masticating leisurely. "Third," said Flynn with his gaze on his watch, "Time!" And they went at it hammer and tongs.
