"A fine proof of the power of the Nazarene!" remarked a man sarcastically. The people recognized him as a priest who had stopped a few minutes before to watch. The father of the boy looked around at the people, desperately seeking someone else to help him. "Where is your Master?" cried the father desperately. "Yes, where is your Master?" echoed the priest in derision.
She laughed a thought stridently in her indignation. "I have known you just four hours," said she. "Precisely the time I think I have loved you." "You think?" she echoed scornfully. "Oh, you make that reservation! You are not quite sure?" "Can we be sure of anything?" he deprecated. "Of some things," she answered icily. "And I am sure of one that I am beginning to understand you." "I envy you.
"Yoraitia?" echoed Tweaty. "I flew by there once! I know where it is, and it isn't very far from here. But there was a dark and shadowy place on the way. I didn't land there, as I thought it looked scary and dangerous. But I can lead you there, if you want me to." "Then we are saved!" said Elephant with a loud trumpet blast.
In much superstitious, in much sceptical, as education had made him the one, and experience but of worldly things was calculated to make him the other, he followed not the wing of the philosophy which passed through heights not occupied by Olympus, and dived into depths where no Tartarus echoed to the wail of Cocytus.

I did not finish my sentence, for in obedience to a nod Garcia was dragged back into a chair, and Tom Bulk's sturdy arms pinioned him, but not in time; for, with a cry of rage, he drew the trigger. There was a sharp report, and then, as the smoke floated upward, a wild cry echoed through the room.
"Luck," echoed the Prophet in a faltering voice. As he gradually recovered his faculties, he heard Malkiel the Second say, with an almost debauched accent, "That puts heart into a man. I shall give Gillows an order. Leave us, Frederick Smith, and remember that Miss Minerva is on no account to be let in here till this gentleman and I have finished the second bottle."
It's awkward to carry both gun and spear." "Wait till we get farther away, Jem." Crash! A flash of fire, and a report which echoed like thunder from the face of the rocks. Jem, in passing the sling of the musket over his head, had let it fall upon the stones with disastrous effect. "Run, Mas' Don; never mind me." "Are you hurt?" "Dunno."
And this act alone may have destroyed their own planet. Brion had it within his power now to stop the launching in the cavern. Should he? Should he save the lives of his killers? Or should he practice the ancient blood-oath that had echoed and destroyed down through the ages: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. It would be so simple. He literally had to do nothing.
