"Oh yes, there must be.... How he rides!" The horse disappeared in the sage, and then puffs of dust marked his course. "He's short-cut on us he's making straight for the corrals." Venters and Jane galloped their steeds and reined in at the turning of the lane. This lane led down to the right of the grove. Suddenly into its lower entrance flashed a bay horse.
So interested in his affairs was she, so responsive to a sentiment, though it might be clumsily spoken, so patient of his talk and of his silence, that to him she was the Roman mother whom he had met in making his way through a short-cut of Latin. "Jim." "Yes, ma'm." "I want to ask you something. Have you talked much with Tom lately?" "Not a great deal.
Don't waste time talkin'. An', say, ye might drop in an' tell her dad. Joe's very uneasy 'bout Jean." Douglas wished to ask Empty a number of questions, but having delivered his message, the lad left him and sped like a deer by a short-cut across the field. The telephone was at the store and Douglas lost no time in getting there.
But the elder woman would not be hurried. She refused to fit in with the Wickham Place set, or to reopen discussion of Helen and Paul, whom Margaret would have utilized as a short-cut. She took her time, or perhaps let time take her, and when the crisis did come all was ready. The crisis opened with a message: would Miss Schlegel come shopping? Christmas was nearing, and Mrs.
It is only for employers who want their own way a great deal men who are in the habit of feeling masterful and self-masterful in getting their own way who are shrewd enough, sincere enough to take a short-cut to it, and get it quick.

Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Mrs. Browning, Rossetti, all publish their ill-health through their verse. Obviously, if certain invalids possess a short-cut to their souls, as Birge Harrison suggests, the nature of their complaint must be significant.
"If I start in that race, as I expect to," Hugh told him, "I intend to make use of that short-cut, no matter if a dozen Tip Slavins, and Pete Dudleys are lying in wait to trip me up. But I'm much obliged to you all the same, Thad, for your warning. I'll be on my guard from this time on, and they're not going to trap me with my eyes blinded, I tell you that."
Ashton shrugged cynically, and urged the wine on Blake. "Come on! One glass wouldn't hurt a fly. I've heard of your wonderful success with the Zariba Dam. I want to congratulate you." "Congratulate that's it!" replied Blake, in a harsh, strained voice. "Best man wins. Loser gets out of the way. All right. I'll take the short-cut." He reached out his bandaged right hand to take the glass.
'Why the hell don't you get that road mended in Cinder Hill , said Sutton fiercely, pushing back his driver's cap and showing his short-cut, bristling hair. 'They can't find it in their hearts to pull it up, replied the publican, laconically. 'Find in their hearts! They want settin' in barrows an' runnin' up an' down it till they cried for mercy. Sutton put down his glass.
Here Katherine paused with a sense of relief; they had reached a stile where a footway led across some fields and a piece of common overgrown with bracken and gorse. It was the short-cut to Castleford, by which Cecil had led her to the Melford Woods. "Oh, do come round by the road, auntie," he exclaimed; "perhaps Mr. Errington will let me ride his horse."
