"What happened?" asked the uninvited volunteer. Brennan, whatever his thoughts, said in a voice filled with standard concern: "Blowout. Then everything went blooey." "Anyone I mean how many ?"

Daughter engaged to that chap in the inland revenue office with the motor. Hooked that nicely. Entertainments. Open house. Big blowout. Wetherup always said that. Get a grip of them by the stomach. The inner door was opened violently and a scarlet beaked face, crested by a comb of feathery hair, thrust itself in. The bold blue eyes stared about them and the harsh voice asked: What is it?
Five minutes, I calculated, and we should cross the State line to New York and safety. We had been going along nicely when, "Bang!" came a loud report back of us. "Confound it!" muttered Kennedy; "a blowout always when you least expect it." We climbed out of the car and had the shoe off in short order. "Look!" cried Janet Cranston, in a frightened voice, from the back of the car.
He's goin' to lead 'em up in his red sleigh and wait a minute, don't order no drinks yet he's goin' to drive down here to Yellowhammer and give the kids the kids of this here town the biggest Christmas tree and the biggest cryin' doll and Little Giant Boys' Tool Chest blowout that was ever seen west of the Cape Hatteras." Two minutes of absolute silence ticked away in the wake of Baldy's words.
Jackson shrugged his shoulders, calmly. "Let 'em have their fun. It's their last blowout. I hope they do kill Levine and Marshall." Lydia pulled herself free of Billy. Her voice was trembling, but she had not lost her head. "Call them off, Charlie. It'll just mean trouble in the end for all of you if you don't."
If the scenes were selected with great care to take those that have lots of action and not so much talking, and the libretto was carefully explained, they could make a hit in New York at least. Our other blowout was the other evening at a Japanese classic tea house, a part of a Noh dance for entertainment and a twelve-course meal or so. The most interesting thing though is talking to people.
There's a fella down there that likes him a lot, an' they had somekinduva blowout in their church last night. He mightuv had ta take some girl home out of town ya know, and stayed over with the fella." Mrs. Carter's face relaxed a shade: "Yes, I've tried to think that !"

"Oh, Tom! what's the matter?" gasped Nellie "I don't know, but I'm afraid it's a blowout," was the serious reply. "Oh, what luck!" "And just when we wanted to make time, too!" "I hope it doesn't take us long to put on another tire!" These remarks came from the three students as they climbed down from the car to make an examination of the damage done.
The second of the gunmen was out of range of his vision. From the sound of creaking furniture Clay judged that the unseen man had sat down heavily. "It was that blowout queered us. And say how came the bulls so hot on our trail? Who rapped to 'em?" "Must 'a' been that boob wit' the goil. He got busy quick. Well, Jerry won't have to salve the cops this time.
