"Maybe; but I don't want to get hurt." "You'll not be injured in the least. Look, you're quite a distance away, and even if it does explode and the books are scattered away, it can't hurt much to be hit by one of these volumes. There, I'm all ready now. Hold the tube firmly." He placed the test tube in a support, clamping it fast, so that it would be held steady over the flame.
Get back!" I could barely hear his whisper. We crouched as far back into the doorway as we could get. I was armed. My official permit for the carrying of the pencil heat ray allowed me always to have it with me. I drew it now. But there was nothing to shoot at. I felt Snap clamping the grids on my ears. And now I heard something!
He ran like mad, clamping down on the bit, his muscles rippling under his glossy hide a hide that was already flecked with foam. "Go like yo' nevah went befo', Blizzahd boy," The Kid sobbed. Never had he been up against a plot so ruthless, a situation more terrible. A lone woman, Ma Thomas, had been selected for the next victim!
Knew it. Studs in shirt. My word! Studs! Studs! There! Let me tie it. Here! Look alive man! She would have it. She must have known you. There!" He had finished by clamping Bean's hat tightly about his head.
On a train of specially constructed flat-cars another army was bolting together a long section of track, clamping the double line of rails at intervals to hold them to gauge.
He must sit opposite his father day by day at table, talk with him, care for him, shrinking inwardly at every knock at the door lest it should be an officer come to carry the pitiful traitor off to prison. And, more than all, he must give up for ever the thought of Guida. Here was the acid that ate home, the black hopelessness, the machine of fate clamping his heart.
Suddenly the thing rushed over him again, going through his veins like a poisonous ether, and clamping his heart as with iron. "All to do over again!" he said brokenly, and again he caught Lacey's arm. With an uncontrollable impulse Lacey took David's hand in his own warm, human grasp. "Once I thought I lost everything in Mexico, Saadat, and I understand what you feel.
For instance, if a patient comes in with a firm, rather precise, calculated sort of gait, "clumping" each foot upon the floor as if he had struck it an inch sooner than he had expected, and clamping it there firmly for a moment before he lifts it again, as though he were walking on ice, with more knee action than seems necessary, you would have a strong suspicion that you had to deal with a case of locomotor ataxia, in which loss of sensation in the soles of the feet is one of the earliest symptoms.
Deafened, blinded, dizzied, he slammed the hatch upon them, clamping it down. Swiftly he passed from hatchway to hatchway, making all fast. With dancing heart, he ran back to the bridge. As he did so a whimpering voice stayed him. "O mon enfant!" The French skipper was lying abaft the binnacle, a yard across his lower body. There was no make-believe about him now, no mockery.
"I wonder if Lone Wolf and his men have not done what they started to do and are going round home again?" Judging from the clamping hoofs, such might have been the case. At all events, there was every reason for believing that a party of horsemen were in the ravine and that they were headed in his direction. Fred made up his mind to wait where he was until they passed by.
