There was a sharp in-drawing of breath, a sound of mingled surprise and wrath, and the irate aunt towered above the astonished girl, her eyes blazing as Tabitha had never seen them before. "Tabitha Catt!" she managed to articulate, "of all outrageous things I ever heard tell of in my life! What do you think you are doing? Trying to murder me?
Tom Reade, who was leading, stopped abruptly, holding up one hand. "Now, what do you think of anyone who would do a trick like that?" he demanded with a sharp in-drawing of his breath. "The sneaks!" breathed Darry fiercely. "Who could have done it?" gasped Greg. For the tent was down -flat. The wagon lay on its side, nor was the horse anywhere in sight.
Thus neither on the side of in-drawing nor of out-giving is there any constraining of the Power, while in both cases there is an initiative and selective action on the part of the individual for the generating of power he takes the initiative of invoking it by contemplation, and he makes selection of the sort of power to invoke; while on the giving-out side he makes selection of the purpose for which the Power is to be employed, and takes the initiative by his thought of directing the Power to that purpose.
