He had covered barely a mile when he came upon the black warrior standing in a little open space. In his hand was his slender bow to which he had fitted one of his death dealing arrows. Opposite him across the little clearing stood Horta, the boar, with lowered head and foam flecked tucks, ready to charge.
I simply wrote out an application for a job on the firm's stationery, and as they was generous with it I dashes off another note which I tucks in my pocket. Nothing sleuthy required. Why, say, I could have walked out with the letter file and the safe combination if I'd wanted to. So when I rings the bell up at Mr. Pettigrew's I has something besides hot air to shove at Perkins.
I went to Vedder, and he sez thar's a book what's called The Little Minister, and I could rent yer surplus and tog out in it. He said you would take tucks in it fer me." "Sure I will. I'll fix it now while you wait, Pete." "Say, Amarilly, I thought as how, seein' we are both in the perfesshun, sorter, you'd come down on your price." "Sure thing, Pete. I won't charge you nothin' fer it."

We need the night for rest, for dreams, for forgetfulness. Whistler saw the night this great, transparent, dark-blue fold that tucks us in for one-half our time.
As for Lillie, she lay in a loose negligé on the bed, ready every five minutes to be called up to have something measured, or tried on, or fitted; and to be consulted whether there should be fifteen or sixteen tucks and then an insertion, or sixteen tucks and a series of puffs.

After taking it out of the noose, he tucks its head in his belt, or lets it float on the water, whilst he proceeds to catch another, or as many more as he can before the birds take the alarm at the struggles of their companions, and fly away. A windy day is generally selected for this employment, when the water is ruffled by waves. On such occasions a skilful native will secure a great many birds.
It will make three if the tucks are ripped out of the skirt. I want the old flowered skirt to make some cushions for the window seat in the room I sleep in, for it will be just the thing to go with the old mahogany of your grandmother's. It is real old-fashioned chintz and is worth just about ten times as much as this dress I have got on, which you know I bought at Mr.

"It's the best crape," she said; "it won't spot. Cut on the bias. They're not real tucks though, Margery. They're laid on; Mrs. Minchin said so." "They are real tucks," I stoutly asserted. "No, they're not.
"Why, Annie Brogan," she exclaimed, thoughtlessly, "you did not wear that dress to make your First Communion!" "Yes, to be sure. Did not mother do it up nicely?" answered Annie, with naive appreciation of the patient, painstaking skill which had laid the small tucks so neatly, and fluted the thin ruffles without putting a hole through them.
