Dicksie, with her hands on her girdle, walked forlornly back and forth, hummed a tune, sat down in a rocking-chair, fanned herself, rose, walked back and forth again, and reflected that she was perfectly helpless, and that Sinclair might kill Marion a hundred times before she could reach her.

"They've had all their luck; it's over." Crane, following Eliot, made the mistake of trying for a long hit, and Sanger fanned him. Grant came up with two men out.
