Also, it hurt, and the polecat did not lose his hold. Then, maddened, wild with rage, the rage of one who expects a walk-over and receives a bad jolt instead, that old she-otter really got to work. She recoiled like a coiled snake, and the polecat felt fire in one loin. It looked like the contortions of one big, furry beast twisted with cramp, by the moonlight.
You thought there was was a a race, so to speak and that I was in it. Well, I wasn't?" "But what the deuce ?" "I not only wasn't in it but there was no race. There never was. It was a walk-over for for some one from the start. Now I guess I'll say good night." He turned away abruptly, but, having taken a few steps, came back again. "Look here! Let's have a cigarette."
We shall need it yes we shall need cheering very badly before we've done. We're not going to have a walk-over in South Africa. Cheering up is what we want, and we must have it." Again he cast a queer, inquiring look at Al'mah, to which he got no response, and to himself he said, grimly: "Well, it's better she should not know it here." His mind was in a maze. He moved as in a dream.
We happened to meet, and so we hobnobbed for five minutes on the street corner and drew each other out in the friendliest sort of fashion as to our mutual prospects. He says he has a walk-over, and I told him that he isn't in it." "I'm glad you showed a little spirit, anyhow." "What would you have had me do? Make a fell assault upon his hair and eyeballs?
The Honorable Erastus Hopkins had been absent at the state capital for several days, looking after various matters of business; for he was a thrifty man, and watched his investments carefully. Whenever his acquaintances asked about his chances for re-election, the Honorable Erastus Hopkins winked, laughed and declared, "it's a regular walk-over."
But again there was to be no walk-over. The Boche counter-attack was delivered on the Americans' left flank. We were ordered to fire a two-hours' bombardment upon certain points towards which the enemy was pouring his troops; and the colonel told me to instruct our two F.O.O.'s to keep a particular look-out for hostile movement.
"And then there'll be the cost of another election." "That's true," said Mr Scruby; "but in such cases we do manage to make it come a little cheaper. If you lick Travers now, it may be that you'll have a walk-over for the next." "Have you seen Grimes?" asked George. "Yes, I have; the blackguard! He is going to open his house on Travers's side.
Behind him a man said: "The favourite's beat. What's that in blue on the rails?" Out by himself on the far rails, out by himself, sweeping along like a home-coming bird, was the Ambler. And George's heart leaped, as a fish leaps of a summer evening out of a dark pool. "They'll never catch him. The Ambler wins! It's a walk-over! The Ambler!"
So, bowing and smiling, he left her, and, in her heart, Inza cried: "If he skates with her again this afternoon, I'll be outwitted that's all!" As Bart drew Frank aside, he hastily and guardedly said: "You must go into this race to win, old man. Rains' friends have been saying you would not dare skate against him, and that he would have a walk-over if you did."
When a man is six foot high, is a combination of Hercules and Apollo, and plays tennis, golf, and the banjo with almost superhuman vim, his path with the girls of a summer seaside resort is pretty smooth. But, when you add to all these things a tragedy like Wilton's, he can only be described as having a walk-over. Girls love a tragedy. At least, most girls do. It makes a man interesting to them.
