A plumber working by the job, trying to unscrew a rusty, refractory nut, in a cramped position, where the tongs continually slipped off, would swear; but I never heard one of them swear, or exhibit the least impatience at such a vexation, working by the hour. Nothing can move a man who is paid by the hour. How sweet the flight of time seems to his calm mind! Mr.
I don't advertise myself for no circus-horse, but I knew dat trick better than most, an' dey was good to me in de stables, fer I saved time on de Belt an' time's what dey hunt in N' York." "But the simple child o' nature-" the yellow horse began. "Oh, go an' unscrew yer splints! You're talkin' through yer bandages," said Muldoon, with a horse-laugh.
His English, conned from recently published Imperial Army Service manuals, grew severely technical: "If you could their big screws unscrew, and their big locks unlock, you would see, but you will not be able. What in them? Cakes!
I ventured to unscrew one of my chairs, which were always fastened to the floor; and having made a hard shift to screw it down again, directly under the slipping-board that I had lately opened, I mounted on the chair, and, putting my mouth as near as I could to the hole, I called for help in a loud voice, and in all the languages I understood.

After it's done its work, why, all we have to do is to go down into the hold, unscrew the nut, and out drops the hook. Then drive a wooden peg into the hole, and the Mary Rebecca will be all right again." Ole Ericsen was obstinate for a long time; but in the end, after we had had dinner with him, he was brought round to consent.
There is no knowing what further mischief she might have done had not York promptly sat himself down flat on her head to prevent her struggling, at the same time calling out, "Unbuckle the black horse! Run for the winch and unscrew the carriage pole! Cut the trace here, somebody, if you can't unhitch it!" One of the footmen ran for the winch, and another brought a knife from the house.
This proved a correct inference, for Joe, glass in hand, was sitting on a bench near the doorway, watching and quizzing the publican as that weather-cock laboured to unscrew the rings which suspended his sign in the air. "Who 's name are you going to paint in this time, Si?" he questioned, as the girl came within hearing.
