One man was in the boat; and that man was staring him in the face. There was no mistaking him. He was black, with diamond eyes. The moon was on his face; and about his lips a queer snarling smile. Kit expected him to pounce; yet he did not, lolling back in the stern-sheets, very much at his ease. The tiller under his arm wobbled, and he wobbled with it.
"That's right," Jim agreed perfunctorily, as a man is wont to agree with his employer. "Somebody'll hang, all right." "There's plenty that need it if the Committee only had sense enough to pick 'em out and leave the rest alone," growled Bill, going from table to table, tipping and testing for other legs that wobbled.
She drove very badly, and they went by quiet by-streets to escape the main traffic: the pony-chaise wobbled at random from one side of the road to the other, obstacles looming up only just in time for Godmother to see them. The ponies shook and tossed their heads at the constant sawing of the bits, and Laura had to be continually ducking, to keep out of the way of the reins.
"But I like it ever so much more than you do," she said in a loud voice. The move was not a bad one; the paper wobbled, sank a quarter of an inch, revealed the bridge of the reader's nose, then held severely steady again.
The chair was placed on a table which was inclined to wobble, because one of its legs was half an inch shorter than the other three. Sergeant O'Rorke, leaning on the table, rested most of his weight on the seat of the chair, thereby balancing Bates and preventing an upset. Miss Willmot sat on the corner of the table, so that it wobbled very little.
His head was in the old manner hanging forward upon his breast. His knees wobbled. The corporal led him into the glare of the fire. "Now, Henry," he said, "let's have look at yer ol' head." The youth sat obediently and the corporal, laying aside his rifle, began to fumble in the bushy hair of his comrade.
Close by her side in the clover-field or the thicket he would sit and copy her when she wobbled her nose 'to keep her smeller clear, and pull the bite from her mouth or taste her lips to make sure he was getting the same kind of fodder. Still copying her, he learned to comb his ears with his claws and to dress his coat and to bite the burrs out of his vest and socks.
For two days nobody had a drop to drink, unless you count water, and on the third morning the captain was quite drunk It stood to reason they all had a glass or two then, except the man at the wheel; and towards evening the man at the wheel could bear it no longer, and seems to have had his glass like all the rest, for the ship's course wobbled a bit and made a circle or two.
And Haney's knees wobbled, and he sat down and was instantly asleep. Then Joe vaguely saw somebody it was Major Holt holding Mike in his arms as if Mike were a baby. Mike would have resented it furiously if he had been awake. And then suddenly Joe didn't know what was going on around him, either. There was a definite hiatus in his consciousness. He came back to awareness very slowly.
You've got your finger on the pulse. Can you look me in the face and say you believe?" Dunbar smiled in his knowing way and wobbled. "I certainly believe it's a good thing to go to church occasionally," he said. "And I believe you'll make a fortune in Fleet Street, my son."
