Don Oreña was there an' he makes objections to me gettin' fresh with his help so, I tucks Don Oreña under my arm, lays him acrosst my knee, and gives him a taste o' th' rope's end.

They set edges upon scimitars, cutlasses, badelairs, backswords, tucks, rapiers, bayonets, arrow-heads, dags, daggers, mandousians, poniards, whinyards, knives, skeans, shables, chipping knives, and raillons.
When she went back to the stove she had a smile ready for the sick boy. "Here's the very thing," she said; "it's my dress skirt. I don't need it a mite, settin' up here so clost to the fire. See how nice it tucks in all 'round!" For a while he lay silent, then he said: "Ma, are you 'wake?" "Yes, Jim." "Well, I bin thinking it over.
"Pink is more Alice's color. She is too pale for blue," was Mrs. Tennant's reply. "Well, then, look here. Isn't this a perfect duck? See for yourself. It's a sort of cross between a coral and a rose oh, so exquisite! And see how it is made, with all these teeny tucks and the embroidery let in between. And the sleeves aren't they just illegant entirely? Don't you think we might make her wear it?"

So the birch tree is chosen, partly for its grace and beauty, but also because of its bark, for one can scribble on its papery surface; the hazel, because children delight in the catkins with their showers of golden dust, and the nut "hidden in its cap of frills and tucks."
She always went along the right-hand side of the street going home, and looked in every shop window that she passed, and then, when she had eaten her lunch, she came out again and walked along the left-hand side of the road, looking at the shops on that side, and so she knew daily everything that was new in the city, and was able to tell her mother at nighttime that the black dress with Spanish lace was taken out of Manning's window and a red gown with tucks at the shoulders and Irish lace at the wrists put in its place; or that the diamond ring in Johnson's marked One Hundred Pounds was gone from the case and that a slide of brooches of beaten silver and blue enamel was there instead.
I have a dress all ready for you." Carry opened the wardrobe door and took out the loveliest girlish dress of creamy organdie, with pale pink roses scattered over it, made with the daintiest of ruffles and tucks, with a bertha of soft creamy lace, and a girdle of white silk. "This is for you," said Carry. Patty gazed at the dress with horror-stricken eyes. "Caroline Lea, that is your organdie!
It has been hard on pyjamas, bed springs, and the temper of the Lady with the Piano who resides in the apartments immediately beneath; so, at the wise suggestion of our friends in the windows" he waved a graceful hand toward them, and they gravely bowed acknowledgment "we are now engaged in deciding the matter Græco-Roman. The winner 'tucks. Come on, Bertie."
"My only comfort," she said to Meg, with tears in her eyes, "is that Mother doesn't take tucks in my dresses whenever I'm naughty, as Maria Parks's mother does. My dear, it's really dreadful, for sometimes she is so bad her frock is up to her knees, and she can't come to school.
Have done with your senseless and profane mummeries; and dismiss your Robin Hoods, your Friar Tucks, and your Hobby-horses. Silence your pestilent minstrels, and depart peaceably to your own homes.
