A flash, a pistol shot, and an agonized voice cried loudly, "Murder! Help! Murder!" That voice she knew directly. It was Griffith Gaunt's. Ryder ran screaming, and alarmed the other servants. All the windows that looked on the mere were flung open. But no more sounds were heard. A terrible silence brooded now over those clear waters.
The Doctor cried stop, but Pen would not. Nature called out to him more loudly than the Doctor, and that kind and friendly physician handed him over with a very good grace to the other healer. And here let us speak very tenderly and in the strictest confidence of an event which befell him, and to which he never liked an allusion.
"If ye think to frighten or grieve me, ye are mightily out," he trumpeted loudly. "Hitherto Britain has dealt gently with ye, but now ye'll feel the full force of her wrath. A six weeks will serve to bring the whole pack of ye to your knees, whining for pardon."
Jones had remonstrated very loudly on Sam's behalf, protesting that the magistrates were going beyond their power in locking up a man against whom there was no more evidence now than there had been when before they had found themselves compelled to release him on bail. But this was of no avail.
Buckingham, with the young nobles and gallants, were, of course, allowed to pass free, and were loudly cheered; but the 'prentices soon ascertained from their scouts that Sir Francis was coming forth, and made ready for him.

This sentiment was loudly applauded, and received with cries of "THAT IS IT!" "THAT'S IT!" by the Democratic side of the House, apparently in utter contempt for the express and emphatic declaration of Jefferson that: "A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the highest duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest.
It grated loudly as he did so. "That is a noisy lock," Cyril said. "It wants oiling," John replied. "I have been thinking of doing it for the last month, but it has always slipped out of my mind." "At any rate," Cyril said, "it is certain that thieves could not have got into the shop this way, for the noise would have been heard all over the house."
They silenced the blue guns. Then the bugles blew loudly, and Hill assaulted. There were lines of breastworks and before them an abattis.
