Engineers make life easier to live easier in the living; their work is strictly constructive, sharply exact; the results positive. Not a profession outside of the engineering profession but that has its moments of wabbling and indecision of faltering on the part of practitioners between the true and the untrue. Engineering knows no such weakness. Two and two make four. Engineers know that.
You are not fat, Jim; you are just big. And a horse doesn't mind a well-proportioned fellow; it's the wabbling fat man that riles him. I owned a horse once that would have been willing to go without corn a whole week for a chance to kick a fat man; and I put it down as an unreasonable cruelty until I found out that he had once belonged to a fellow that weighed three hundred pounds."
He's got his share under his blanket over there, and swears he'll shoot any one who goes to monkeyin' with his bed so you'd better fight shy of it. Thompson he isn't up yet chose the whisky for his share, so you'd better fight shy of him, too. Henry and I'll divvy up with you." "Thanks," said Billy, the one word choking him. Henry came from his bunk, bent and wabbling.
Then a plainly audible sigh broke forth as the first runner was seen rounding the bend, and starting on the home stretch, but wabbling badly as he ran, being almost completely exhausted.
But the boat was being carried steadily along by the current, although the water came in constantly about her feet. "I mustn't get frightened," Anna said aloud, remembering how often her father had told her that to be afraid was to lose the battle. The boat swayed a little, and then Anna found that the board seat was wabbling.
The chair might have helped them, but it was wrecked beyond hope. "Perhaps if we called to him, he might answer," ventured Jerry huskily. "First see if you can reach the trap door if you stand on my shoulders." Phil made a stirrup of his hands and gave Jerry a leg up. Wabbling uncertainly, but managing to straighten himself, Jerry caught at the edge of the opening.
Never did he fail to go into a particular ward one of those in which the more seriously wounded patients lay Hut H. She sometimes saw him going through the aisles at his funny, wabbling gait, offering his wares to the soldiers. The latter jeered at him, or joked with him, as their mood was. He wore an old battered hat, the brim of which flopped over his face and half masked his features.
Midnight and the moon riding high in the purple bowl of sky sprinkled thick with stars; with a little, warm wind stirring the parched weeds as they passed; with the burros shuffling single file along the dim trail which was the short cut through the hills to the Bend, Ed taking the lead, with the camp kitchen wabbling lumpily on his back, Cora bringing up the rear with her skinny colt trying its best to keep up, and with no pack at all; so they started on the long, long journey to the green country.
Of course, I crowded him all I could, but the best I could accomplish was his promise to "think it over." I hated to leave him wabbling, but patients were scuffling at the door and fighting on the stairs. The next thing I did was to get Freddy on the long-distance 'phone. "Freddy," I said, after explaining the situation, "you must get Eleanor to telegraph to him direct!"
His advantage had always been in the fact that the general run of them will submit to insult rather than create a scene. This dark-eyed Judith was distinctly an exception to the rule. Gad! She might have missed his wrist and jabbed him in the throat. He swore, and walked off down the street. Elsa set a pace which Martha, with her wabbling knees, found difficult to maintain.
