Several years ago there was a report that he had been raiding Mississippi Steel, and had got control. That was rather startling news, for everybody knew that the Trust was after it. He seems to have fought them to a standstill." "That sounds interesting," said Montague. "Price was brought up in a rough school," said the General, with a smile. "He has a tongue like a whip-lash.
That is the number which Bethlehem can accommodate, and everything has been arranged upon a corresponding scale; the vast pharmacy, glittering with bottles and Latin inscriptions, pestles and mortars of marble in every corner, the hydropathic installation, its large rooms built of stone, with gleaming baths possessing a huge apparatus including pipes of all dimensions for douches, upward and downward, spray, jet, or whip-lash, and the kitchens adorned with superb kettles of copper, and with economical coal and gas ovens.
Just after I jumped into the mill-pond the telegram came for him to go to Washington, and I drove him home in my wet clothes. The old man had a terrible tongue, a whip-lash kind of humour, and he scored me for being a fool. But he rather liked me, on the whole. He told me if I'd only straighten out I could be anything, in reason." "What made you jump in the mill-pond?" Honora asked, laughing.
Sometimes, at the coming of a storm, a whip-lash of purple cloud, full of electric agility, snapped along the western horizon. "Oh, you'll see a lot of queer things on these here plains," her husband said when she spoke to him of these phenomena. "I guess what you see is the wind." "The wind!" cried Flora. "You can't see the wind, Bart."
Yet for all this the school prospered. Nevertheless, it suffered much internal unrest. Many a word was spoken that struck like a club, many a smile stung like a whip-lash, many a glance stabbed like a knife; even in the midst of recitations a wounded one would sometimes break into sobs or silent tears while the aggressor crimsoned and palpitated with the proud indignation of the master caste.
Van Dorn's whip-lash firmly covered a huge fly on the horse's ear, and laid it dead. "When the man departed, the boy raised his foot and uncovered the dollar; his master said, 'Smart boy! They divided the stolen dollar." "Jimmy Phoebus says the fust step is half of a journey," Levin noted. "The blacksmith's boy looked avariciously on travellers ever after, who might possess a dollar.
At sight of him, I stopped instantly, ready enough to resent attack if that had been his purpose, though anxious to avoid violence for the sake of Mademoiselle. But he merely laughed as he surveyed me critically, swinging his bamboo stick as if it were a whip-lash. "Parbleu, Master Wayland!" he said, seeming in rare good-humor, "I this moment learned of your safe return.
"But you should fight fairly," Helen retorted, with a quick breath of aggression. "Do you believe that he killed Jensen? Of course you don't. The mere idea of such a thing is absurd." "Perhaps he planned it." "Father!" The scorn in her tone stung him like a whip-lash. "Did he plan the warrants, too?
He had been farmed out as a chattel by the state to the contractors. He had been trailed through swamps by bloodhounds. Twice he had been shot. For six years on end he had cut a cord and a half of wood each day in a convict lumber camp. Sick or well, he had cut that cord and a half or paid for it under a whip-lash knotted and pickled. And Ross Shanklin had not sweetened under the treatment.
He will never know a whip-lash again. And as for the weather why, it never snows here." "But it's all-fired hot in summer, beggin' your pardon," Skiff Miller laughed. "But you do not answer," Madge continued passionately. "What have you to offer him in that northland life?" "Grub, when I've got it, and that's most of the time," came the answer. "And the rest of the time?" "No grub."
