As he steadied himself to shoot again he heard a rush behind him and knew that his men had come to his assistance. "Collar him!" he cried. "Don't shoot, or " But he did not finish that sentence. A thousand lights danced before his eyes, Niagara roared in his ears for an instant, and he knew no more. His adversary had laid him out with the butt of a pistol.
They roared past us, striking and tearing at one another with insane gestures as if each one feared that he would be too late. Inside the scene must have baffled description, for a clamour soon rose which showed that it was a battle to the death to secure loot at any price.
These other people also tittered when the young men tittered, and roared when the young men roared; and, as the two young men tittered and roared and exploded with laughter pretty continuously all through the song, it went exceedingly well. And yet that German professor did not seem happy.
Where it led to I did not know, but concluding that any place would be better than to remain in the library, I tried the door, found it open, and slipped out. "Stop, stop!" roared Mr. Woodward. "Stop, this instant!" But I did not stop. I found myself in the dining room, and at once put the long table between us. "Don't you come any nearer," I called out sharply.
"Don't you know there's no admittance that way?" it roared. But if there was anything more I shut it out of my hearing by means of a door marked Private on the outside.

This had well nigh been the case with the carpenter. He was roused from the stupor of despair into which he had sunk by the voice of Ben, who roared in his ear, "The bridge! the bridge!"

I want you to know this, because it will teach you that I have a little bit of appreciation of how good you are to me, and to all the world as well. I am glad that I almost cried myself sick over leaving you. I wish now I just had stood up in the car, and roared like a burned baby. "But all the tears I shed in fear of grandfather and grandmother were wasted.
"It's altogether beyond your poor little brain, Griggs, but scientific work is the very breath of my life! I can't be happy without it; I'm not going to try. Why, all those seven weeks down South one idea simply roared in my head. I had to come home and perfect it and I did.
