"Get the pump," directed the Iron-Jawed Man. A bicycle pump was quickly produced, and, opening a valve, one of the performers began pumping air into the suit. "Here, what are you doing?" demanded Teddy. "Blowing you up " "Here, I don't want to be blown up." "With a bicycle pump," added the performer, grinning through the powder and grease paint on his face.
"I was not aware that she was of such a retiring disposition," he said. The other man laughed. He was an American, Ellis Grant by name, a man of gross proportions, but keen-eyed, iron-jawed, and successful. "There is a rumour," he said, "that she is about to be married. Possibly that might account for her shyness." His look was critical. Courteney threw back his head almost with defiance.
He chatted amiably with the leading men and women in his company; the fact that he removed the cigar from his lips while conversing with Ruby Noakes and the Iron-jawed Woman, created no little amazement in them. He was especially gentle with his wife, and superlatively so with his daughter, both of whom were slow to show the slightest sense of responsive warmth.
Dick modestly replied that he could, according to the Eastern idea of horsemanship. "You don't need to be half horse to ride one of that bunch. But over there in the other field I've iron-jawed broncos I wouldn't want you to tackle except to see the fun. I've an outlaw I'll gamble even Laddy can't ride." "So. How much'll you gamble?" asked Laddy, instantly.
He knew that one of these days the northerly wind would bring down a storm which would blanket the land with snow that only the sun of the next May would banish. He was ill-prepared to face such an iron-jawed season. If he stayed there it would just about take his quarterly salary to supply him with plain food and the heavier clothing he needed.
She was fat, harsh, homely, masculine in the way of German women, an occasional long hair sticking from her face in emulation of a beard. Devoid of any graces of seduction, putting out her heavy fists in every direction she exhibited a bearish kindness toward Gard that seemed calculated at first to frighten him. She was loud-voiced, iron-jawed.
"I know, but who suggested it first?" "I think the Iron-Jawed Man was the first to say that I ought to be a clown. He thought I would make a great hit." "No doubt, no doubt," snapped the showman in a tone that led Teddy to believe he was angry about something. "May I?" Mr. Sparling reflected a moment, raised his eyes and gazed at the dripping roof of the menagerie tent.
Well, then, pretty soon all hands got to talking about the diseased again, and how good he was, and what a loss he was, and all that; and before long a big iron-jawed man worked himself in there from outside, and stood a-listening and looking, and not saying anything; and nobody saying anything to him either, because the king was talking and they was all busy listening.
Jane the long-eared, Jane the iron-jawed, Jane the stubborn, Jane donkeyer than other donkeys, in a word, MULIER! It may be that Jane has made her bow to the public before this.
After some searching I found my friend Bill in the little room over a saloon that served as strike headquarters. A dozen or more of the leaders were there, faintly distinguishable through clouds of tobacco smoke. Among them sat the great R D , his burly figure looming up at one end of the table, and his strong, rough, iron-jawed face turning first toward this speaker and then toward that.
