She got out her husband's great clasp-knife from the open tool-box, took the lamp, and crept back to the man's bedside. She should be able to kill him certainly she should be able to kill him; and then she should have the pistol for the other one. But he still slept heavily. When she saw him again, again her suspicions fell from her. She knew he was asleep.
Sharing a tool-box with Gridley and smoking a cigar out of Gridley's pocket-case, Lidgerwood found it difficult to be less than friendly. It was to little purpose that he recalled Ford's qualified recommendation of the man who had New York backing and who, in Ford's phrase, was a "brute after his own peculiar fashion."
I wrote a letter to my mother in which I hoped I made it quite clear that ambition and not discontent was leading me to run away. I also made a will, dividing my things fairly between Rupert, Henrietta, and Baby Cecil, in case I should be drowned at sea. My knife, my prayer-book, the ball of string belonging to my kite, and my little tool-box I took away with me.
You know, they found the empty wallet in the tool-box of my car." "Yes, so I heard. Quite remarkable. But can't the detectives find out who stole the money and hid the pocketbook there?" Cora was grateful for the neat way he put that, to avoid referring to the suspicions that had been cast on her and on her friends. "The police don't appear able to do anything," was her answer.
Hence we speak of man's body as his "trunk." ii The body is but a pair of pincers set over a bellows and a stewpan and the whole fixed upon stilts. iii A man should see himself as a kind of tool-box; this is simple enough; the difficulty is that it is the tools themselves that make and work the tools.
To stamp on the floor without an apparent reason, and without being done in fun, was beyond their comprehension. "Where's the tool-box, lass?" gasped Adams suddenly. His helpmate brought to him an old hand-box for nails and small tools, which had once done service in the Bounty. With eager haste Adams selected a pair of pincers, and, seizing his tooth therewith, he began to twist.
But when I reached her, I only got a wrench out of the tool-box and yanked open the hood to see what ailed the motor. I knew something of that make of car; in fact, I had owned one before I got the Yellow Peril, and I had a suspicion that there wasn't much wrong; a loosened nut will sometimes sound a good deal more serious than it really is.
The mosquitoes of South American swamps are all fitted with a perfect tool-box of implements for piercing the hides of warm-blooded animals and drawing blood, although warm-blooded animals have long ceased to exist in those localities.
I had seen letters cut on stone, and was confident that with a chisel and hammer nothing could be easier. These the nursery tool-box furnished. I wrote out an elaborate inscription headed by Reka Dom in Russian characters, and we got a stone and set to work. The task, however, was harder than we had supposed.
He spoke eight languages, and never slept; but as his services were in demand by several people in as many different cars at the same moment he satisfied no one, and the complaint-box in the smoking-car was stuffed full to the slot in consequence before they had crossed the borders of France. Carlton and Miss Morris went out upon one of the platforms and sat down upon a tool-box.
