"Kagoda?" inquired Korak, as he sent the bull down once more. Again the stubborn bull essayed to scramble to his feet. Again The Killer struck him a terrific blow. Again he put the question, kagoda have you had enough? For a moment the bull lay motionless. Then from between battered lips came the single word: "Kagoda!" "Then rise and go back among your people," said Korak.
At the words "Ceremonial Meeting" all the girls jumped up to change places, and in the scramble a vase was knocked off the table and broken. Every one sat rooted to the spot with fright, all except Mr. Bob, who fled at the sound of the crash as if he had been the guilty one. Hinpoha calmly collected the pieces and carried them out.
We have been reading over again 'André' and 'Leone Leoni, and Robert is in an enthusiasm about the first. Happy person, you are, to get so at new books. Blessed is the man who reads Balzac, or even Dumas. I have got to admire Dumas doubly since that fight and scramble for his brains in Paris. Now do think of me and love me, and let me be as ever your affectionate Robert's regards always.

"I thought so; they have got scouts posted already. The barbarians know something of skirmishing, after all. Maddox, come here." When you clear them, ride straight at the rails at the end of the paddock. You'll get over with a scramble, I think. Keep fast hold of his head you mustn't fall.

As he went in a sound startled him. Was it the breaking of a branch he had stepped on or thrust aside? He heard the impatient pound of his horse's hoofs. Then all was quiet.
I made a desperate effort to save myself, and then, perfectly certain that the horse would trample me to death beneath his feet, down I went on my back, and began to scramble up, with my mount stock still beside me. "Not hurt a bit!" cried Lomax, running up and handing me my cap, which had come off. "No," I said, beginning to feel myself all over; "I don't think anything is broken."
Instantly there was a laugh from somewhere underneath, then a scramble that continued until at last grandmother Ruth emerged without aid of any sort and stood up, a good deal rumpled and covered with hay but laughing. "It didn't hurt me a mite!" she protested. "I came down light as a feather!" "But why didn't you answer when we called to you?" the elder exclaimed reprovingly.
We must clamber over the rocks and get there; and, Dickie darling, even if your foot hurts, you will be brave." "I will be brave, Susie," said Dick. The rocks were slippery, and the seaweed popped under their feet like little guns; but jumping, slipping, clinging together, they reached the foot of the island, and then began the difficult scramble upwards.
There was a scramble, a scuffing of hoofs, and a loud, shrill shriek from the interior of the carriage; then the horses were forced on to their haunches, and Stafford scrambled to his feet from the road into which he had been hustled.
