Some of them were already doomed to immediate dismantlement; the tenants had cleared out, there were hoardings raised to protect passers-by from falling masonry, and bills and posters on the threatened walls announced that during the rebuilding, business would be carried on as usual at some other specified address.
It is obvious, however, that the dismantlement of Pola to-day an almost impregnable fortress would be an essential condition to neighbourly relations between the two, the more so since under such altered circumstances an Italian naval base at Pola could only have one objective.
I feel like a whipped dog;" and they all went back to the fort, which, in its dismantlement and ruin, whispered soothingly of the rest and peace that sometimes lie beyond broken hopes and strenuous times. "Well, how did you find him?" asked Graeme, as they seated themselves on the broken wall again, with the fair blue plain of the sea dimpling and dancing in front.
"That settles that," said Nuwell, more philosophically then Maya would have expected. "Our only hope is to find a groundcar." That necessitated another search, but at last they found the motor pool. And there were three groundcars, all in various stages of breakdown or dismantlement. "It looks like we'll have to walk, Nuwell," said Maya. Nuwell shook his head.
One, I notice, has a black blotch on his otherwise mottled breast, while his back shines with the polished radiance of a soap-bubble. Tree visited at odd intervals not at all during early morning. Dismantlement proceeds half-heartedly.

A Constituent Assembly would have ratified these terms.
Send those beasts along, Pedrillo. Make 'em burn the ground." The lust for destruction, when once thoroughly lit in an able-bodied man, is not an easy flame to extinguish, and in consequence we went ruthlessly on with the dismantlement of the carriage, till even Taltavull, hardened destructor as he was himself, was fain to call upon us to leave off.
Heligoland, dismantlement, disposition. Herzegovina, disposition. Historic influence on boundary lines. Hostilities. See Prevention of war.
