This dark hint conveyed absolutely no enlightenment to the mind of Mrs. Temperley, from sheer lack of familiarity, on her part, with the rumours of the district. Dodge applied himself with a spurt to his work. "When she had her baby, she was like one out of her mind," he continued; "she couldn't stand the disgrace and the neighbours talkin', and that. Mrs.
During the last week of the month Gallwitz came to the heights east of Banitzina, south of Jesenitza, and began storming them. Then followed another spurt of severe fighting and Livaditza and Zabari, on the Morava River, fell into their hands, after which they occupied the region south of Petrovatz.
He had not expected flagrant cowardice like this. He made a sudden spurt forward and caught Henson by the tail of his coat. With a howl of fear the latter tore himself away, and Merritt reeled backwards. He came down heavily over a big stone, and at the same moment Henson trod on a hedge-stake. He grabbed it up and half turned upon his foe.
What monster can possibly fill itself with such a quantity of water, and spurt it up so continuously? At eight in the evening we are not two leagues distant from it. Its body -dusky, enormous, hillocky lies spread upon the sea like an islet. Is it illusion or fear? Its length seems to me a couple of thousand yards.
Rochas, who had remained on his feet, spoke up and said jocosely: "Children, there is no objection to your ducking to the shells when you see them coming. As for the bullets, it is useless; they are too numerous!" At that very instant a soldier in the front rank was struck on the head by a fragment of an exploding shell.

He admired the cast-iron beams, as one might call them, and the twin bars of steel coupled together with indestructible bolts. "If you were to give seven rapid turns to that crank," said Spieghalter, pointing out a beam of polished steel, "you would make a steel bar spurt out in thousands of jets, that would get into your legs like needles." "The deuce!" exclaimed Raphael.
Hare's hand leapt like a lightning stroke. Gleam of blue spurt of red crash! Holderness swayed with blond head swinging backward; the amber of his eyes suddenly darkened; the life in them glazed; like a log he fell clutching the weapon he had half drawn. "TAKE Holderness away quick!" ordered Hare. A thin curl of blue smoke floated from the muzzle of his raised weapon.
Takin' a turn o' the line round the horn of his saddle, he reined in a bit, and then gave the spurs for another spurt, and soon after reined in again in fact, he jist played the wild horse like a trout, until he well-nigh choked him; an', in an hour, or less, he was led steamin', and startin', and jumpin', into the corral, where the man kept his other horses."
