Whether Philip "knuckled down" to Mr Caldwell or not, he never told Frank, but he did tell him that he was going in a day or two to Q , to make arrangements for the sale of timber accumulated there for ship-building purposes, or for exportation. He did not know much about the matter and did not speak very hopefully.
BODY Short between the couplings, well let down in chest, ribs fairly well sprung and well ribbed up, with powerful and not tucked-up loins. HIND-QUARTERS Very muscular about the thighs, stifles and hocks well bent, and hocks well let down. FORE-LEGS Quite straight, well under the dog, of good substance and round in the bone. FEET Round, well knuckled up, and strongly padded.
Without raising his eyes from his book, Phil said, so as to be heard as far as the usher, "Who prated of Prater the second? Who is Prater the third?" There was a laugh which provoked the usher to come and see whereabouts in Sallust such a passage as this was to be found. Not finding any such, he knuckled Phil's head, and pulled his hair, till Hugh cried out "O, don't, sir! Don't hurt him so!"
It was, besides, excusable in youth to challenge fortune; a very different matter for one of his age. Of his age! ... the words gave him pause. By their light he saw why he had knuckled under so meekly, at the time of his first attempt. It was because then a few years one way or another did not signify; he had them to spare.
The boys envied me and Jim a good deal, but land! they just knuckled to the dirt before TOM. Well, I don't know; maybe he might have been satisfied if it hadn't been for old Nat Parsons, which was postmaster, and powerful long and slim, and kind o' good-hearted and silly, and bald-headed, on account of his age, and about the talkiest old cretur I ever see.
To wait, one on each side of the hearth in the drawing-room, for the clock between them to strike; their thin, veined, knuckled hands plying knitting-needles and crochet-hooks, their hair ordered to stop like Canute's waves from any further advance in colour. To wait in their black silks or satins for the Court to say that Hester might wear her dark green, and Juley her darker maroon.
You're right, I guess. But you don't know what I've been through in the last seven years. I stuck to Joe and they didn't like that. Sally said I had knuckled down to Joe's wife. So she hasn't asked me there in years. And if I were to go to her now, I'm afraid my opinion of you wouldn't count." There was another silence.
The magistrate was of the same opinion: but he was a kindly man: he would have been more inclined to help, but for his wife's intervention to which he knuckled under. Madame Poyet-Delorme received her sister with icy coldness. It cut Madame Jeannin to the heart: but she swallowed down her pride: she hinted at the difficulty of her position and the assistance she hoped to receive from the Poyets.
'Soap soap! my dear Fleetwood, Sir Meeson knuckled on the table, to impress it that his appetite and his gorge demanded a thorough cleansing of those fingers, if they were to sit at one board. 'Let the waiter fetch it. 'The soap is in my portmanteau. 'You spoke of it as a necessity for this gentleman and me. Bring it. Woodseer had risen. Lord Fleetwood motioned him down.
I can feel life jest makin' its last few jumps in me like the flame up the chimney. But listen to me " he reached out a long, large knuckled, claw-like hand and drew the doctor down over him, and his eyes were earnest "I got to live till I see 'em standin' here beside me, hand in hand, doc!" The doctor, even by that dim light, had changed colour. He passed his hand slowly across his forehead.
