"An' now, who's for a good ship?" he inquired. There was a sort of mirth in his voice as he spoke. "Good wages, good grub, an' a soft job. Don't all of ye speak at once." The sailors eyed him warily. From the end of the room a white-haired American looked up wryly. "What's her name?" he asked. "Name?" Tom Mowbray kept his countenance, though the name was the cream of the joke.
Rick had thought about it a number of times in the past day, but had reached no conclusion. "But if it's from natural causes, how did Marks and Miller I mean Morrison escape?" Scotty grinned wryly. "You're not asking me because you expect an answer." "No," Rick agreed. He said abruptly, "I've had it. Let's hit the hay."
He is on three committees that can hamper legislation the Administration is vitally interested in." "I understand. And I didn't pick the quarrel with Senator Crane. He picked it with me. In my judgment, he is not the kind of person to be trusted with information of this vital nature." "You consider Senator Crane an unreliable demagogue?" "I didn't say that." Authority smiled wryly.
What in Fleming's name's the matter with your brain?" "I had to," Kennon said. "I had to. It was a matter of life and death." For once, he thought wryly, the cliche was true. The Betan's face behind the transparent helmet was disgusted and unbelieving. "I hear that sort of thing every day," he said. "Am I supposed to believe it?" "You'd believe it if you'd have been where I was," Kennon muttered.
It was Captain Murdoch now dressed in the uniform of a regular beat cop, without even a corporal's stripes. And the face was filled with lines of strain that hadn't been there before. Murdoch threw the second gangster up into a truck after the first one and slammed the door shut, locking it with the metal bar which had apparently been his weapon. Then he grinned wryly, and came back toward Gordon.
Rip saw instantly what had happened. He called, "All right, men. Down on the floor." The Planeteers instantly slid to the shower deck. In a few seconds the pressure of deceleration pushed at them. "I like spacemen," Rip said wryly. "They wait until just the right moment before they cut the water and decelerate. Now we’re stuck in our birthday suits until we land—wherever that may be."
Baird got other images of the Plumie ship into sharp focus. So near, the scanners required adjustment for precision. "Take a look at this!" he said wryly. She looked. The view was of the Plumie as welded fast to the Niccola. The welding was itself an extraordinary result of the Plumie's battle-tactics.
The asteroid, in the hands of enemies, could crush us like a fly, simply by coming down on the top of the hill." "But who could have taken it? There was no one on it, was there?" The Hawk said wryly: "I thought not, but well, you remember the secret panel in Dr. Ku's laboratory?" "Through, which he escaped before? Yes."
Or, he could try to negotiate a new agreement with Consolidated, double the royalties, and then request fifty per cent from Central. He grinned wryly. That would be within legal limits, he was sure, but Central knew the present arrangement, and he knew that they knew. And so would most of the interested manufacturers in other regions.
Never was such a father to his people as Sir George Grey, and the tribes of a hemisphere acclaimed it. The witch doctor had his doubts, took his physic wryly, and begged piteously to be set free. He was released, on the strict promise that he would cease being a firebrand.
