The work was done handily and cheaply by the labor-saving plan of hitching a locomotive to a plough. Five ploughs were jerked apart before the work was finished. Then, into this trench were laid wires with every known sort of covering. Most of them, naturally, were wrapped with rubber or gutta-percha, after the fashion of a submarine cable.
He went out and presently returned with some fuel which he had found unwet in a thick growth of wood. He laid a fire handily and lit it. The little stove burned well, with no smoke. Stebbins looked at it, and was perfectly happy. He had found other treasures outside a small vegetable-garden in which were potatoes and some corn.
Indeed, he could reef a sail as handily as any old tar. I have seen him take the wheel and hurl Allemand head-foremost from the pilot-house when that sponge-soaked rascal had imbibed more gin than was safe for the weathering of rocky coasts. Call him gamester, liar, cheat what you will! He had his faults, which dogged him down to poverty and ruin; but deeds are proof of the inner man.
And now they had all wandered back to Virginia or up to Alaska or down to Mexico, and there was not an uncle or cousin of his tribe left in Los Angeles for Jimsy King; only his bad, beloved father, coming home at noon in rumpled evening dress, but wearing it better and more handily, for all that, than any other man on the block.
The great guns of an armed ship have blocks of wood, called tompions, painted black, inserted in their muzzles, to keep out the spray of the sea. These tompions slip in and out very handily, like covers to butter firkins.
"Would my money be of any service to you?" asked David at last, timidly. "You dear boy, no!" she cried warmly. "You do not understand. This is our affair, David. You are very, very good, but " She checked the words resolutely. "We can lift the notes handily if the weather helps us just a little bit." "I don't like that man," announced the boy, his dark eyes gleaming.
However, I had a little kettle, and a pound and a half of tobacco, and two dirty pipes and a clean one; also a bit of clothes for change, also a brisket of hung venison, and four loaves of farmhouse bread, and of the upper side of bacon a stone and a half it might be not to mention divers small things for campaigning, which may come in handily, when no one else has gotten them.
Within a few years after Elizabeth's cure I had handily repaired quite a few mentally ill people in a harmless way no one had heard of; many new people were knocking at my door wanting to be admitted to my drug free, home-based treatment program. So many in fact that my ability to accommodate them was overwhelmed.
Just outside the door, Allyn was toiling handily in her behalf; and, strange to say, she was free from the obstacle she had most feared, that Melchisedek would get under her feet at some critical moment, and project her headlong, roast and all, upon the smooth bald pate of Mr. Gilwyn. To her relief, the dog had mysteriously vanished.
Dear old Marshall did not take his defeat the least to heart, but he is not playing for the stakes that I am. I have dreamed twice that if I won the Harding Trophy I should win everything. Carter beat Boyd handily, and the prize will go to one of us. I must beat him; I shall beat him!
