His heart beat heavily, he fancied he could hear it thudding in his breast, then, all at once, an inflow of energy rushed upon him as though the 'fiery tongues' of which Adam Frost had spoken, were in very truth descending upon him. Maryllia's face!
"I'll tell you what you franchise-owners did, Morrison! You beat a grand and comprehensive plan that was going to take in the whole state." "It did take in a lot of folks for a time, but, thank God, it didn't take in a few of us who were wise to the scheme. I know why you have called on me to-day. But you haven't put me on record.
"Boy, you certainly are burning up space! What have you got in your fuel tanks? Light speed?" "Just a little thing we whipped up," said Astro with a grin. "What is your ETA on Deimos, Tom?" "Less than five minutes. Four minutes and thirty seconds, to be exact. Think you can beat that?" "If we can't beat it, we can equal it!" said Astro. "See you on the Martian moon, buddy! End transmission!"
And now the drums of the guards stationed before the Conciergerie began to beat. Behind Marie Antoinette were Samson and his assistants. The queen was pale, all the blood had left her cheeks and lips, but her eyes were red! Poor queen, she bore even then the marks of much weeping! But she could shed no tears then!
I would," thought Tommy, though his heart beat fast at the sight. "I shall keep my word, and you must remember to tell the truth. Obey me, Nat, take this and give me six good strokes."

As he spoke these last words he noticed that the pulse fluttered a little, beat irregularly a few times; intermitted; became feeble and thready; while his cheek grew whiter than the pallid bloodlessness of his long illness had left it. "No more talk, now," he said. "You are too tired to be using your voice. I will hear all the rest another time."
The heart of that elder world beat strangely in one of the upper chambers where they came upon a little work-shop, strewn with unknown metals and tools and empty crucibles, and in their midst a rectangular metallic plate partly traced with a device of boughs, appearing, in one light, slightly fluorescent. "It is the work of the Princess Simyra, adôn," said Jarvo.
Dun'no' how all dem oth' young ladies goin' take it!" He laughed with immoderate delight, yet, as to the volume of mere sound, discreetly, with an eye to open windows. "You got 'em all beat, Miss Airil! Dey ain' be'n no one 'roun' dis town evah got in a thousum mile o' you!
In this position he began again to beat the poor suffering wretch. It now became intolerable to bear; she fell, screaming to me for help. After she fell, he beat her until I thought she would have died in his hands.
