"What nonsense!" he said, touching my hand with the whiplash. "Will you ride with me after dinner?" "I must have the horses at three o'clock," said his mother, "to go to Mrs. Flint's funeral. She was a family friend, you know."
Frederic Fernand was beginning to draw one breath of joy at the thought that McKeever would escape without having that pack, of all packs, examined, when the long dagger flashed in the hand of Ronicky Doone. He struck as a cat strikes when it hooks the fish out of the stream he struck as the snapper on the end of a whiplash doubles back. And well and truly did that steel uphold its fame.
Now it sounds faster and faster, 'like a whiplash flashed through the air, said my friend; up, up he soars, till he becomes lost to sight at the instant that his song ends in that last mad ecstasy that just precedes his alighting." The meadowlark sings in a level flight, half hovering in the air, giving voice to a rapid medley of lark-like notes.
For fifteen seconds Thor offered himself openly, roaring his defiance, challenging the enemy he could no longer see; and then at Langdon's seventh shot, a whiplash of fire raked his back, and in strange dread of this lightning which he could not fight, Thor continued up over the break. He heard other rifle shots, which were like a new kind of thunder. But he was not hit again.
The rosettes of the six horses, the new harness, the length of the driver's whiplash, his enormous buckskin gloves and the way he held his reins; the fascinating odor of shining varnish on the coach, the gold-headed cane of the Honorable Abner Dean: all these were stored away in the secret recesses of Johnny's memory, even as the unconsidered trifles he had picked up en route were distending his capacious pockets.
"We do," answered Billie, and his voice was just as cold. It had in it the snap of a whiplash. "You came in here to pick trouble with us. Your pardner Clanton, whatever his name is gave it out straight that he was goin' to kill Roush." "He didn't mention you, did he?" "The Roush brothers were in our party. We ride for the Lazy S M. We don't make distinctions." "Don't you? Listen," advised Prince.
'Now he has thrown up war work, I suppose he doesn't see that the obligations of the service are just the same, only the proprietors are changed. 'How should he know? He thinks he is his own master. 'Does he? I could undeceive him for his good, if there's any virtue in print. He wants the whiplash. 'Lay it on with science, then. I'd flay him myself, but I like him too much. 'I've no scruples.
Nan choked. "It does seem as though there must be fire under this sawdust now." Tom brought his own gaze down from the empty tree-top with a jerk. "Hoo!" he shouted, and leaned forward suddenly to flick his off horse with the whiplash. Just then the rear wheel on that side slumped down into what seemed a veritable volcano. Flame and smoke spurted out around the broad wheel. Nan screamed.
The stranger climbed out and stood beside the step, with one hand holding on to the edge of the footboard. 'Come, hand me down my bag. For answer Doctor Unonius lifted his foot and brought it down suddenly on the hand, grinding his heel into the fingers. At the same moment the whiplash fell over Dapple's haunches.
The force of the current carried the light wagon downstream. The whiplash cracked around the ears of the horses, but they could not make headway. Team, wagon, and driver began to drift down the river. Supplies, floating from the top of the load, were scattered in all directions. Instantly six men became very busy. Rope loops flew out and tightened around the bed of the wagon.
