When you've had a pal standing beside you one moment full of life, and joy, and power, and potentialities, telling what he's going to do to make the world hum when he gets through the slaughter, just running over with zip and pep of life, Doc and the next instant, right in the middle of a laugh a piece of damned shell takes off half his head and with it joy and power and all the rest of it" his face twitched "well, old man, in the face of that mystery a disappearing act such as the devil lady treated us to doesn't make much of a dent.
One of these it is the common one, I think ended quaintly with three or four short notes, like zip, zip, zip; while the other was not unlike a fraction of the winter wren's melody. Those who are familiar with the latter bird will perhaps recognize the phrase referred to if I call it the willie, willie, winkie, with a triple accent on the first syllable of the last word.
"Say, Zip, he'll kill you," said the gambler, after a pause. "She's my wife. She's mine," retorted Scipio intensely. "An' I'll shoot him dead if he refuses to hand her over." "Say," the gambler went on, ignoring the man's protest the idea of Scipio shooting a man like James was too ludicrous "you're up agin a bad proposition, sure. James has stole your wife. He's stole more. He's a stage-robber."
An orchestra was playing something with a good deal of zip to it, and under happier conditions I dare say my feet would have started twitching in time to the melody. But I had sterner work before me than to stand hoofing it by myself on gravel drives. I wanted that back-door key, and I wanted it instanter. Scanning the throng within, I found it difficult for a while to spot Seppings.
His bat-like ears had infused nothing of the vampire into his character. No the very type of jollity and fun was the broad black face of "Scipio Besancon," for such was the cognomen of my visitor. Scipio opened the dialogue: "Gollies, young mass'r! Ole Zip 'joiced to see um well 'gain daat he be." "Scipio is it?" "Ye', mass'r daat same ole nigger. Doctor told um to nuss de white genl'um.
Zip! and they were gone," and Paul Bird laughed heartily at the hasty way in which the enemy had vanished. "You're sure they didn't get you?" persisted Frank. "I guess I'm all right," laughed the other, as he swung both arms back and forth, and bent his body to test his muscles; "you see, there wasn't time enough for them to do much damage.
Lucy's not to ride them hosses, least of all Buckles. He ain't safe even for a man." "Wal, he's safe fer Lucy." "But didn't I say no?" "Boss, it's likely you did, fer you talk a lot," replied Farlane. "Lucy pulled my hat down over my eyes told me to go to thunder an' then, zip! she an' Buckles were dustin' it fer the sage." "She's got to keep out of the sage," growled Bostil.
"I'll just keep hidden, and wait until he comes down," planned Zip, "and then I will pounce out and grab him by the back of his neck and shake him as if he were a rat."
And while he was dancing about in pain and muttering a dust-covered oath, the other's staff came swinging through the cloud at one side zip! and struck him under the arm. Down went Robin as though he were a nine-pin flat down into the dust of the road. But despite the pain he was bounding up again like an India rubber man to renew the attack, when Little John interfered.
However, he went with the doctor just the same, only instead of running around visiting all the dogs and cats he knew wherever the doctor stopped, he just lay still on the seat and slept. At last the doctor noticed and said, "Zip, I believe you feel sick today, you are so quiet. Let me feel your nose!" This is what a doctor does for a dog, just as he feels the pulse in a person.
