Then, in 1900, the Post Office tossed aside all obligations to the licensed company, and threw open the door to a free-for-all competition. It undertook to start a second system in London, and in two years discovered its blunder and proposed to cooperate. It granted licenses to five cities that demanded municipal ownership.
Several times Dave led his seamen against that barrier. Under repeated assaults it gave way. "Through the house and to the roof!" shouted Trent. "We'll wind up the snipers!" What a yell went up from two score of throats as the sailormen piled after their officers and thronged the stairs! It was a free-for-all race to the top of the second flight of stairs.
I mean, it's all very well to remove yourself like an eel sliding into mud when the employer has a visitor, but there are moments and it looked to me as if this was going to be one of them when the truer tact is to stick round and stand ready to lend a hand in the free-for-all. For Jeeves was no longer with us. I hadn't seen him go, and I hadn't heard him go, but he had gone.
The surge produces not a single center of growth and expansion but dozens or scores of competitors, each aiming to win and keep a position well in advance of its rivals. The resulting up-surge and free-for-all, which usually lasts for centuries, is a characteristic and recurring feature in the political life of every civilization.
Sombreros flapped like huge wings and the baggy chaps looked like small, distorted balloons. The Virginia reel was a marvel of supple, exaggerated grace and the quadrille looked like a free-for-all for unbroken colts.
He ran his regiment like a mess, and might order first this officer, then that, of the line or staff, to take on his free-for-all quartermaster trains. But he was honest. Banion was not. He had him broken. The charges were filed by Captain Woodhull. Well, is it any wonder there is no love lost? And is it any wonder I wouldn't train up with a thief, or allow him to visit in my family?
We do not believe that a door ever opened to the magic of mere words, but we do believe and cannot help believing that the author tells the truth when he writes of leather jars full of oil, of bands of mounted robbers, of a poor man who could support himself by hauling wood from the free-for-all forest, of slavery from which one might escape by notable fidelity, of funeral rites performed by the imaum and other ministers of the mosque, and of the unwillingness of an assassin to attempt the life of a man with whom he had just eaten salt.
In th' first place, they've got four or five more ringers than we know about. I seen Courant talkin' mighty secret-like to two waiters in th' hall this evenin", an' th' driver o' that cab o' theirn was a baggage hustler at th' Bellyvoo as late as yesterday." "By thunder, I believe their game was to mix us up in a big free-for-all fight when they got us into that dance dive.
This training has tired me out," and he sat down on the grass. "Any one want to compete against the turtle?" asked Ned. "Come on now. Remember, it's free-for-all." But no one seemed to care to contest, and, amid yells and laughter at the manner in which they had been fooled, the boys began arranging impromptu races among themselves.
A policeman saw the fuss came up and started to put the Hindu in his place. Then Madeline rushes in, and it ended in her pounding the policeman with her tennis racket. HOLDEN: Madeline Morton did that! HOLDEN: I am interested. FEJEVARY: Well, I'm not interested. I'm disgusted. My niece mixing up in a free-for-all fight and getting taken to the police station!
