Flora clutched nervously at the back of her chair. She seemed to see the danger of discovery piling up above Kerr like a mountain. The judge chuckled. "You see what you saved me from. They've been at it hammer and tongs all the evening. Every man in town has his idea on that subject." "For instance, what is that one?" Kerr's casual voice was in contrast to his guarded eyes.
Harding, but Corydon found "something in him", and would go at him hammer and tongs whenever he appeared. It must have been a novel experience for the clergyman; it seemed to fascinate him, for he came again and again, and soon quite a friendship sprang up between the two. She would tell Thyrsis about it at great length, and so, of course, he had to change his ideas about Mr. Harding.
The steadily increasing distinctness with which the sound of the firing reached us, proved that we were rapidly overhauling the contending squadrons, and some twenty minutes later we sighted the rearmost ships on both sides, blazing away at each other "hammer and tongs."
"Yes, I 'm listening." "And dreaming?" "Yes, dreaming a little, too, of you, dear, and the tongs there, and the boys upstairs, and the storm outside, and the fire, and of this sweet room, an old, old dream that I had years and years ago, all come true, and more than true." She slipped her hand into mine. "Shall I go on?"
He put me in mind of a pair of kitchen tongs, all legs, shaft and head, and no belly; a real gander-gutted lookin' critter, as holler as a bamboo walkin' cane, and twice as yaller. He actilly looked as if he had been picked off a rack at sea, and dragged through a gimlet hole. He was a lawyer.
And no sooner do I get on the accursed machine, than off I go hammer and tongs; I never look to right or left, never notice a flower, never see a view, get hot, juicy, red, like a grilled chop. Here I am, sir. Come from Guildford in something under the hour. WHY, sir?" Mr. Hoopdriver shook his head. "Because I'm a damned fool, sir.
"Yes; didn't you feel as if you'd just like to go at him with 'hammer and tongs'" doubling up her fists and striking out suggestively right and left "for being so crusty with you about your religion? I did." Katherine laughed out merrily at the girl's strenuous espousal of her cause, and with a sense of relief to know that she had shown no feeling unworthy of a Christian Scientist.
You want woman to be a mere lump of sugar, content to be left in a bowl until it pleases you in your high-and-mightiness to take her in the tongs and drop her into the coffee of your existence, to sweeten what would otherwise not please your taste and like most men you prefer two or three lumps to one." I could only cough. The lady was more or less right.
Are you wishing to ruin my reputation for hospitality, you rogue you?" And my father was going on with Mickey, only that he looked about him at this time and discovered his guests all upon their feet, one with the tongs and one with the poker, others with decanters ready to throw. "What's this?" said he. "The lance," said they. "What lance?" said he. "The lance of the lancer," said they.
"But I, the angel of mercy, will redeem the poor 'Akakia," cried the king, trying to obtain possession of the tongs. "Truly this 'Akakia' is too lusty and witty a boy to be laid, like the Emperor Guatimozin, upon the gridiron. It was enough to deny him a public exhibition it was not necessary to destroy him."
