Running up the hill again, puffing with added explosiveness, Keno could hardly contain his excitement. "I've told em!" he panted. "They know he's alive and smart as mustard!"
"There was, too!" he contradicted, with an explosiveness which irresistibly reminded Weldon of their kindergarten days. "What makes you think so?" "I don't think. I know." "How do you know?" Weldon asked listlessly. "Alice Mellen told me," Carew replied conclusively. "Told you what?" "That Cooee Dent is in love with you." From his superior knowledge, Weldon stared disdainfully up at him.
The explosiveness of the anger will depend on the power of inhibition and the power of the intelligence, as well as on the strength of the opponent. There are enough whose temper is uncontrolled in the presence of the weak who manage to be quite calm in the presence of the strong.

"Aunt Ellen's been so excited about that story, she couldn't talk of anything else." "And why not?" said Aunt Ellen. "It's a very unusual performance. Two sets of thieves, one stealing the money and burying it and another coming along and finding it." Chrystie, diverted from her private worries by this exciting subject, bounced round toward Mark with something of her old explosiveness.
