"It is not often that mother slumps into a wish like that or at least the verbal expression of it. Mother has changed a great deal since that terrible day in September when we knew that Walter would not come back; but she has always been brave and patient. Now it seemed as if even she had reached the limit of her endurance. "Susan went over to mother and touched her shoulder.
It must be sometimes night?" argues Lessie, a little peevishly. "There are deep violet nights, full of great white stars," Lynette answers. "There are storms of dust and rain, lightning and thunder, such as are only read of here.... There are plots, conspiracies, raids, robberies, murders, slumps and losses, plagues and massacres. There are rebellions of white men, and native risings.
Patted waiter on back, waved to orchestra leader, shook handsh with perfect stranger going out. Went to lovely house, uptown somewhere. Fine ol' butler, fine ol' rugsh in hall, tapeshtries on wall. And then then " Ernie slumps into a chair, pushes the loose collar end away from his chin fretful, and indulges in a deep sigh. I expect he thinks he's told the whole story.
The chart indicates clearly that practically every major operation of the German military forces was inaugurated when the morale line showed dangerous slumps. A big map in the war office locates not only every allied unit but the composition of the opposition forces, their commanders, and, in most cases, their headquarters.
To Barton I owe it that I am still alive, vigorously alive, not crawlingly ... but I suffered several slumps before I attained and held my present physique. For the world and life afford complications not found in "Perfection City." The school hill lay before my eyes again. From it spread on all sides the wonderful Connecticut valley.
Round and round that treasure heap we prances, like so many East Side kids 'round a Maypole in Central Park, with the yuh-huhs comin' faster and louder, until finally Auntie slumps on the sand and uncorks the only real genuine laugh I've ever known her to be guilty of. No wonder Vee stops and rushes over to her. "Why, Auntie!" says Vee. "What's the matter?"
"'Gosh! he says, after a spell; 'I b'lieve I'm kind of gettin' the hang of the craft. "'Course you are, says Bradbury. 'I told Oh! "He straightens up, grabs at his vest, and slumps down against the back of the seat. "'What IS it? screams the widow. 'Oh, what IS it, Mr. Bradbury? "He answers, plucky, but toler'ble faintlike. My heart! he gasps.
"This time the tenderfoot didn't wait. He went in with a sort of hitch step, like a dancer. Ferguson's knife carved the air beside the tenderfoot's head, and then the skinny boy jerked up his right and his left one, two into Sandy's mouth. Down he goes again slumps down as if all the bones in his body was busted right down on his face.
First you wrap a layer or two of blanket around your body, for a sort of cushion and to keep off the cold iron; then you put on your sleeves and shirt of chain mail these are made of small steel links woven together, and they form a fabric so flexible that if you toss your shirt onto the floor, it slumps into a pile like a peck of wet fish-net; it is very heavy and is nearly the uncomfortablest material in the world for a night shirt, yet plenty used it for that tax collectors, and reformers, and one-horse kings with a defective title, and those sorts of people; then you put on your shoes flat-boats roofed over with interleaving bands of steel and screw your clumsy spurs into the heels.
Although the Congress has properly declared as a matter of national policy that safeguards must be maintained against slumps in farm prices, there are serious shortcomings in the methods now available for carrying out this policy. Mandatory price supports should be provided for the commodities not now covered which are major sources of farm income.
