He spends it among his friends. It is good. How much whisky will he buy, think you?" Another voice chipped in at this point, and Horrocks strained his ears to catch the words, for the voice was the voice of a female and her utterance was indistinct. "He said he would pay for everything all we could eat and drink and that the pusky should be held the night after to-morrow.
The whole line crept forward and paused again behind another row of stumps. A general volley met them and they found protection none too soon. Bullets chipped little pieces off the stumps or struck in the ground about them. But Robert knew that they had been fired largely at random, or had been drawn perhaps by a slight noise.
Relative to anomalous dislocations the field is too large to be discussed here, but there are two recent ones worthy of mention. Bradley relates an instance of death following a subluxation of the right humerus backward on the scapula It could not be reduced because the tendon of the biceps lay between the head of the humerus and a piece of the bone which was chipped off.
The marble pavement extended to the outer walls of the house, and was roofed in at the sides by the upper stories which were supported by fluted stone columns, much stained and chipped. The staircase, towards which Trefusis led his visitors, was a broad one at the end opposite the door, and gave access to a gallery leading to the upper rooms.
Rick thought swiftly, then peeled off his shirt and wrapped it in a good-sized rock. He gauged the distance and heaved it in the direction opposite the one Scotty had taken, aiming for a niche under an overhang six yards away. He hoped the motion would be mistaken for one of them.

Polished, finely chipped, and roughly hewn implements and weapons of stone are found, as are implements of bone and horn. It was, in short, a neolithic culture.
Annear had fared worse, and was spitting blood freely, and the marks of exit and entrance of the bullet indicated that the point of one lung had been slightly chipped. "I suppose this outcome is what you might call the amende honorable" smilingly said George Nathan, one of the visitors, later to Uncle Lance.
In the meantime Nana, who averred that she was as hungry as a wolf, threw herself on the radishes and gobbled them up without bread. Mme Lerat had become ceremonious; she refused the radishes as provocative of phlegm. By and by when Zoe had brought in the cutlets Nana just chipped the meat and contented herself with sucking the bones.
"'You say you've done that puzzle, they shouted 'the puzzle that has stuck all the mathematical guns at Harvard and Yale you a nonentity like you begone, sir, don't waste our time with such humbug as that. "'All right, I said, 'give me some paper and a pen, and I'll prove it. "'That's very reasonable, the policeman chipped in, 'do the thing fair and square I'm here as a witness.
Three grey-clad policemen, tough, clean-shaven men with keen eyes and square jaws, stood there, revolver in one hand, night-stick in the other. Psmith, hatless and dusty, joined them. Billy Windsor and the Kid, the latter bleeding freely from his left ear, the lobe of which had been chipped by a bullet, were the last to arrive.
