Was it to be extermination on both sides? The end of civilization itself? General Harington had said: "The enemy is still very strong. He has plenty of reserves on hand and he is fighting hard. It won't be a walk-over to-morrow." As an onlooker I was overwhelmed by the full measure of all this tragic drama. The vastness and the duration of its horror appalled me.
But for this, who knows with what cunning counter-attacks he might have foiled the butler's onslaught? As it was, the battle was a walk-over for the enemy. "I've been looking for you, young blighted Albert!" said Keggs coldly. Albert turned a green but defiant face to the foe. "Go and boil yer 'ead!" he advised. "Never mind about my 'ead.
Checkers saw it, and his conscience smote him. "I 'll scratch my entry," he inwardly resolved, "and leave Arthur a walk-over." The afternoon passed uneventfully. The day was warm, the sun shone bright, and they all sat under the shade of the trees, enjoying the air and the beautiful view of the mountains, now made gorgeous by the brilliant and variegated colors of the changing autumn leaves.
Indeed, on this 21st February, when the Germans had confidently anticipated a "walk-over", and when such an event as a massed attack, or even the loss of a considerable number of their infantry, was hardly contemplated, they found themselves held up entirely, with whole ranks of their divisions swept away, and with the ground in front of Brabant, Haumont, and along the northern face of the Verdun salient littered with their killed and wounded.
It mayn't be such a walk-over as I supposed," and he laughed at the notion. He waved his hand to her as the train moved off she knew it among a score of hands that were waved to other girls from the platform of the car, for it held a letter which she knew was hers. Then he went inside the car to read it, doubtless, and she did not see him again.
It looked like a walk-over for Clarence, but in the fifth round he blew a couple of green notes and Lancelot got the decision. Then, for a consolation prize, Hector was led out in the middle of the room, where he assassinated Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana so thoroughly that it will never be able to enter a fifty-cent table d'hôte restaurant again.
I want to make you see this ain't going to be no society walk-over, with the Four Hundred looking on from the pews and poppa signing cheques in the background. Say, did I ever tell you how I beat Kid Mitchell?" "Does it apply to the case in hand?" "Does it what to the which?" "Had it any bearing on my painful position?
First thing I remembered was that I was born at Springfield, Ohio. It was like a mist starting to life. Springfield, Ohio. That was it. It suddenly came back to me." "Splendid! Anything else?" "Yessir! Just before I went to sleep I remembered my name as well." Archie was stirred to his depths. "Why, the thing's a walk-over!" he exclaimed. "Now you've once got started, nothing can stop you.
"Won a race, sir." "Then it must have been a walk-over." "Oh no, sir; he beat the cracks, beat the favourites, and took in all the knowing ones. I always said there was something about that there 'oss, sir, that I didn't understand and nobody couldn't understand, sir." I was absolutely dumbfounded, knowing very little about "favourites" or "cracks."
Travis took no man's dust in the Tennessee Valley. At county fairs he had a walk-over. He had inherited The Gaffs from his grandfather, for both his parents died in his infancy, and his two remaining uncles gave their lives in Virginia, early in the war, following the flag of the Confederacy.
