If there was a lever to be pulled on the disk, very likely it was rusted and refused to give unless he yanked until he was short of breath and his heart beat fast; four horses were so unruly and hard to keep in place; the gates were all so heavy they were not easy to lift and then drag open. It was such a bitter struggle every step of the way. It was so hard to plow as deeply as he was commanded.
Here we are," and Petticoat rescued his bride from the middle of a crowd and yanked her toward his car. The car was a museum piece, and as Warble caromed into its cushions she felt that her lines had fallen in pleasant places. That was the way Fate came to Warble. In big fat chunks, in slathers. Unexpected, sudden, inescapable that's Fate all over. "I shall like Mr.
At the moment, Worth tore buckles and latches free, yanked the thing open, reversed it in air and out fell a coiled rope that curved itself like a snake a three-headed snake; the triple grappling iron at its end standing up as though to hiss. We all stood staring; I was too stunned to be triumphant. What a pat confirmation of Miss Wallace's deductions!

"I'm glad he's gone," said the Hippopotamus. "He was a nuisance and I tell you I had a narrow escape. He had his tail wound around my neck a minute before. He might have yanked me off with him."
"Perhaps, then, it was the way the light fell on your face." He peered closely at his client. Mr. Britt's color was coming back. Orne's cryptic speeches and his haste to collect had warmed the banker's wrath. "It'll be ten dollars, as we agreed." Britt yanked a big wallet from his breast pocket, plucked out a bill, and shoved it at Orne.
Hippy, now being blindfolded, could make out nothing of his surroundings, but he realized that there were trees all about him, and he could hear the snapping of a campfire, which reminded him of food and that he was nearly famished.
