She put on the dress, forgetting, in her guilty haste, to take off her own blue one. "O, my suz! I never did see!" said Dotty, puffing and tugging in her efforts to fasten the frock. "My mother must make Prudy's clo'es bigger'n this; yes, she must. It chokes."
Big as the venture had seemed to me in the beginning, it was only a fraction of the country waiting to be tamed. And beyond there was Wyoming, "bigger'n all creation." I was going empty-handed, with no fixed program or goal. After the settlers were on the ground, there would be many obstacles which must be overcome. Down to earth again!
"It would take lots more if we were picking wild strawberries. They ain't bigger'n peas, but these are whoppers." "And covered thick with spiders ugh! I feel them crawling all over me now. I believe I killed a million just this afternoon." Peace laughed. They didn't bother her. "Just s'posing those strawberries were bugs really, and when the hotel people ate them the bugs would bite.
"An' what's more, nigger," she went on severely, "ef de good Lord ever cotch setch a monst'ous liar as yo' is out in a hurricane lak what yo' all sez it wuz, dere wouldn't be no use buryin' what wuz lef' of yo'. 'Cause why, 'cause yo' jes' gwine to be a lil black cinder no bigger'n a chinkapin. I knows all about how brave yo' wuz out to Marse Striker's.
Bruce beat the ash out of his pipe as an emphasis to his final remark. As he reloaded with fresh tobacco, Langdon said: "You can make up your mind this big fellow we are after is a game-killer, Bruce." "You can't tell," replied Bruce. "Size don't always tell. I knew a grizzly once that wasn't much bigger'n a dog, an' he was a game-killer.
I know you don't mean it, but " "Jest answer me, this, sir is your leg hurtin' any worse?" "No," replied William, mollified. "Not a mite?" she insisted. "No, I am much easier of the pain." "Well, then, I'm goin' to say this much more even if it strangles you: the word God stands for something in the hearts of men and women bigger'n a Paradise gardener with a taste for music!"
"What was she like?" cried Dick eagerly, "and which way did she go?" "Down the Market Place, and she was belonging to one of the shows. She was bigger'n you, and she had a yellow scarf on and eardrops." The girl on the caravan whose master had wanted Pat! Dick had the clue now, but how could he recover his treasure?
Why, he's got enough wool round there, if 'twas all in yarn, to knit Old Tobe a pair o' mittins! An' they say one o' his thumbs was bigger'n the hand o' Providence. You don't want to try all the goodness out of him, do ye?" Cyrus gave one swift glance at his wife. "There! you see!" it said plainly. "I am not without defenders." He took down his shaving-mug, with an air of some bravado.
Roy asked, standing up very straight and slim, a defensive gleam in his eye. "He's ten and a half. And he looks bigger'n that. He goes to school. And he's been quite a lot in India." "Not my India." "I don't know. He called it 'Mballa. That letter I brought from Mummy was asking if she could bring them for tea." "Well, I don't want him for tea. I don't like your Boy-on-a-visit. I'll tell Mummy."
And if it was just plain stealing, Dan would sure be hot on his trail because Dan thought more of his money than most men do of their wives. It was about all he lived for, and he wasn't any coward. That old man never would get it off him without a big ruction, and if he did, Dan would be right after him bigger'n a wolf. There's something wrong, you take my word."
