Maïeddine would have been easy to find there, for his high-held head in its white turban must have towered above most other heads, even those of the tallest French officers; but he was not to be seen, and Nevill guided Stephen out of the ball-room into a great court decorated with palms and banners, and jewelled with hundreds of coloured lights that turned the fountain into a spouting rainbow.
"Couldn't one of you boys say a bit of a prayer?" asked Herb in a thick voice. "I ain't used to spouting." All former help had been easily given. This was a harder matter, yet not so difficult as it would have been amid a city congregation. Garst tried to recall some suitable prayer from a funeral service; so did Neal. Both failed.
"Now for it, Fred," she called back exultantly. The rain was pouring steadily down through the dying gray twilight, and muddy streams were spouting and foaming over the cliff. Fred caught her and held her back. "Keep behind me, Thea. I don't know about the path. It may be gone altogether. Can't tell what there is under this water." But the path was older than the white man's Arizona.
Now they could look down at the four tracks of the C. & S. C., the unfinished spouting house on the wharf, and the river. "Here's where the belt gallery will go," he said, pointing downward: "right over the tracks to the spouting house. They carry the grain on endless belts, you know." "Doesn't it ever fall off?" "Not a kernel. It's pretty to watch.
Meanwhile the sun began to descend, so we returned to the shore, and pushed on round the spouting rocks into the next valley. This was that valley of which I have spoken as running across the entire island. It was by far the largest and most beautiful that we had yet looked upon.
I don't know whether they'll say so, the psychopathic experts they've let loose on him. I simply think he found the difficulties of his way too much for him and he revolted. As to his spouting his Bible like a geyser well, if he believes in it as the actual word of God, a word addressed to him, why shouldn't he spout it?
This was the critical moment. The officer drew the heavy sharp blade, from the handle to the point, across the throat of the infuriated beast, with a force that divided the principal artery. He made a desperate leap upwards, spouting his blood over his destroyer, and then fell gasping across the body of his master.
When he died he left a modest fortune made in spouting buncombe; and yet " The Professor held out a hand in appeal. "How many men are called great because they succeed in talking buncombe and selling rubbish!
And the boy was beginning to think uneasily of the possibility of having to guide the bark back to the coast all alone. Suddenly the body of white crystal began taking on a greenish hue, growing larger and larger, becoming dark and coppery, until above the surface appeared the head of the swimmer, who, spouting and snorting, was holding up all his submarine plunder to the little fellow.
Charity Coe Cheever was visiting Mrs. Noxon again and Kedzie snubbed her haughtily when she met her at the Casino or on Bailey's Beach. Kedzie was admitted to that sacred surf of the Spouting Rock Association now and she was as pretty a naiad as there was. But now she encountered occasional rebuffs from certain people, not only because she was common, but because she was reputed to be fast.
