"No, no, it will bring us good fortune," and turning sorrow into joy again, he dipped his finger in the spilt wine and anointed my forehead and the back of my neck; I did the same to him; he took up the bottle, flourished it in the air, sprinkling every one of us with wine, and then flung it away empty over our heads, so that it crashed down on the pavement and the pieces skated across the piazza, bang up against the opposite house.
Seeing that I needed help, she unrolled a newspaper bundle and hung her "extra" dress and nightgown on a nail, laid a comb and a toothbrush on the dry-goods-box dressing table, and for two weeks she "threw" out the paper with a bang. About this time the régime of our government was changing.
The cart went rumble, crumble, crack, crack, crack, over the leaves and twigs, and One-Eye sang to her donkey: "Steady, steady, We're always ready," in a most cheerful voice. Then the cart came to the fluff-feather, and over it went crash, bang, splutter; and the potatoes flew everywhere, like rain.
Steve waited until he heard the door of Constantine's room bang. He knew his wife had rushed to tell her father her side of the matter to receive the eternal heart's ease in the form of a check so she could go and play and forget all about Stevuns the brute. He walked unsteadily through the rooms of the lower floor, out on to the main balcony, and back again.
"The bottom of the creek is too befouled," promptly objected Jack, "and I confess it daunts me to think of meeting that drownded corpse down there. Try it yourself, if you like." "I be needed above water to handle the musket if Blackbeard sneaks back to bang at us with his pistols," was the evasive reply. The mention of the corpse had given old Trimble a distaste for the task.
At every wheel round Mr Bang slewed his head a little on one side, and peeped in at one of her bright eyes, and then tossing his cranium on t'other side, took a squint in at the other, and then cast his eyes towards the roof, and muttered with his lips as if he had been shot all of a heap by the blind boy's but shaft; but every now and then as we passed, the rogue would stick his tongue in his cheek, yet so slightly as to be perceptible to no one but myself.
Phil threw off the brake wheel and Car Three shot ahead like a great projectile, rocking from side to side, moving at such high speed that the joints in the rails gave off a steady purring sound under the wheels. The wildcat car struck the grade with a lurch and a bang, climbing it at a tremendous pace.
Then suddenly comes a flash of lightning, a second of light, and he is astounded, absolutely astounded to see the real landscape different from that indestructible thing that his mind had built. Thus it was with me. I had judged, oh, I had judged him thoroughly, sized him up to a certainty, and bang, came the flare of this new fact, this extremely commonplace fact, and I was all off.
It was impossible to restrain these men. Here and there the lately masked men drew pistols, though not one of them had a chance to use his weapon ere it was wrested from him. Pound! slam! bang! A medley of falling blows filled the air, nor was it many seconds later when cries of pain and fear, and appeals for mercy were heard on all sides.
He said business at the theater was bad, and complained of the way the papers used, or would not use, his stuff. He said the Liberty Theater had not had a proper deal, and that he was tempted to go over and bang one of the company on the head, and so get a little free advertising.
