They broke, and passed about her. The lady made a laughing remark to him, whereat he turned to look, and Mrs. Berry bobbed.

Shrieks filled the air and roused all within sight to running and shouting. Poor gasping, choking, deadly faced heads bobbed up a moment on the river's surface and went under struggling. "Help! Help!" shouted the running people. "God save them all! Good Lord! Good Lord!"
She came tripping to her tall sister, to ask plaintively 'Mayn't I be glad? and bobbed a curtsey. Harriet desired Andrew to leave them. Flushed and indignant she then faced the Countess.
