Fortunately, neither of us sustained any injury beyond a few bruises, but when I had assisted her to rise, and gazed around, I was amazed to discover that a strange thing had occurred. The whole of the iron plates had been torn from their sockets, and a dark cavity behind each disclosed. The small sealed cells had been wrenched open simultaneously, as if by a miracle.
She was gasping with the effort when she had flung a few of them down, after which she discovered that the rest were held up by one or two stout poles let into sockets. Try as she would, she could not get them out, and then she remembered that Hastings kept a whipsaw in a shed close by.
They are certainly not the whole man, who nevertheless runs and leaps by their leverage and smooth turning in their sockets; and a surgeon's studies in dead anatomy help him excellently to set a living joint. The abstractions of science are extractions of truths.
Her wrists and ankles were seized, extended, fastened to the moveable blocks at the extremities of the plank. She spoke her last word, “For Thee, my Lord and Love, for Thee!... Accept me, O my Love, upon this bed of pain! And come to me, O my Love, make haste and come!” The men turned round the wheels rapidly to and fro; the joints were drawn out of their sockets, and then snapped in again.
'I know you don't with your mind. Now, what type's that? 'I'll go and get the chart, said Mary. 'You're hopeless! You haven't the mental capacity of a white mouse, he cried, and explained the dials and the sockets for bomb-dropping till it was time to mount and ride the wet clouds once more. 'Ah! said Mary, as the stinking thing flared upward. 'Wait till our Flying Corps gets to work!
For a moment he thought that he was being stifled. His eyes started from their sockets. His ribs seemed to crumple within him fortunately they were elastic, as ribs no thicker than a stout hair must be. Then the pressure relaxed. The automatic binding was complete, and one more sheaf fell with a thud to earth. In that sheaf was the harvest mouse, bruised but alive, a prisoner in the dark.
If your representative dignity is impaired westward, you may add to your eastern titles those of "Rose of India" and "Pearl of Pondicherry." The latter gem is now set in one of the vacant sockets of the British diadem. I have nothing to subjoin to this high-flown paragraph, that will at all keep pace with the majesty of it.
When Vernon woke, his eyes, glazed with death, rolled faintly towards her, fixing and dimming in their sockets as they gazed; his throat rattled.
The breast-bone was large and keeled, as in most birds and in bats, and the shoulder girdle is strikingly similar to that of ordinary birds. All other known pterodactyles have teeth lodged in sockets.
His heart had almost stopped beating and his eyes began to bulge from their sockets. As the sun touched the horizon he was still many rods from the starting point. With all the strength of both body and soul he lunged forward and just as the sun went out of sight he staggered across the line and fell into the arms of the stranger who was there to meet him, but when he fell he was dead.
