A young robust fellow sprang forward from the crowd with a shout, an enormous cobblestone in his hand. "What's this dog showing his teeth for?" He hit Borodulin on the head with the stone. It was unfortunately too well aimed. Borodulin fell. Others attacked him as he lay there. The workman who hit him with the stone made his escape. Elisaveta and Trirodov were looking out of the window.
Robinson's hopes from this gentleman rose; moreover, part of his sermon next Sunday inveighed against inhumanity; and Robinson, who had no conception the sermon was several years old, looked on it as aimed at Hawes and his myrmidons and as the precursor of other and effective remonstrances. Not long after this, to his delight, the chaplain visited him alone.
Then both young hunters brought around their shotguns and aimed at the big bear. But Giant was also in range and they did not dare to fire. "Giant, run to one side!" sang out Snap. "Give us a chance to shoot! I think I can hit him." "Snap!" gasped the smaller member of the Gun Club. "Shoot him! shoot him! He wants to eat me up!"

The Samnite with bent hams swept his axe alternately to the right and left, at the same time warning Matho of the blows that were being aimed at him. "Master, this way! that way! stoop down!"
Howel seized the poker and aimed a blow at the cupboard; the mahogany did not give way, but they fancied they heard a chinking sound within. 'I am thinking, said the mother, 'that it must be a double bureau. It is looking so much broader than it do seem.

When Joe saw the gun aimed at him for the third time, he backed water hastily. As a result, the skiff came to a standstill, and the soldier, lowering his rifle, regarded him intently. "I want to come ashore!
Of a sudden there came a whirr of wings that made me jump and drop my load, as a number of grouse flew in all directions, their booming wings fairly exploding with energy. One of the grouse alighted in a tree overhead and I snatched out the six-shooter, aimed carefully and fired. It was a new experience for the grouse; it stretched its head out, and, twisting sidewise, stared down at me curiously.
Prince Bismarck never threw off the aristocratico-military leanings with which he began life.

And he tried to pass his arm under her, in order to raise her. She uttered a feeble cry. "Have I hurt you?" asked Marius. "A little." "But I only touched your hand." She raised her hand to Marius, and in the middle of that hand Marius saw a black hole. "What is the matter with your hand?" said he. "It is pierced." "Pierced?" "Yes." "What with?" "A bullet." "How?"
