468. lappuse - The times have been That, when the brains were out, the man would die, And there an end ; but now they rise again, With twenty mortal murders on their crowns, And push us from our stools.
387. lappuse - I give, devise, and bequeath all my real' and personal estate whatsoever and wheresoever unto Frederick Blasson Carritt absolutely. And I appoint the said Frederick Blasson Carritt sole executor of this my will.
626. lappuse - A very clear account, upon my word ! and I dare swear the lady will vouch for every article of it.
522. lappuse - Oh, purty fair. (He begins to look at her as if he were seeing her for the first time, noting every detail with a numb, stunned astonishment). EMMA. You're looking as well as ever. CALEB, (dully) Oh, I ain't got nothin' to complain of. EMMA. You're the same as me, I reckon. (Happily) Why I seem to get feelin' younger and more chipper every day, I declare I do.

Then, with both mittened hands, he scooped the bunch of matches, along with much snow, into his lap. Yet he was no better off. After some manipulation he managed to get the bunch between the heels of his mittened hands. In this fashion he carried it to his mouth. The ice crackled and snapped when by a violent effort he opened his mouth. He drew the lower jaw in, curled the upper lip out...

The sight of the dog put a wild idea into his head. He remembered the tale of the man, caught in a blizzard, who killed a steer and crawled inside the carcass, and so was saved. He would kill...

642. lappuse - With the machine moving forward, the air flying backward, the propellers turning sidewise, and nothing standing still, it seemed impossible to find a starting-point from which to trace the various simultaneous reactions. Contemplation of it was confusing.
