There was silence for a moment. The prince was taken aback by the suddenness of this last reply, and did not know to what he should attribute it.

The strangeness, the suddenness of the thing overwhelmed her so that she could not think of it calmly. He had asked her to think of it, to decide, to give him an answer. Why could she not?

But, with all that multitude of celestial bodies staring down at one, the comfort of quiet communion with her was gone for good.
It was one of those tense spaces which are among the greatest terrors of a storm by reason of their suddenness, their stillness, and their suspense. He grasped her hand, and she clung to his as she would have clung to anything that she chanced to touch in her fright.
Galusha came to life with astonishing quickness. "From from Nevada, did you say?" "Um-hm. I remember it real plain now. You see, it kind of caught my eye as I was sortin. We don't never get much mail from Nevada not in this office we don't never hardly. So when I see... Well, my good land!" The exclamation was caused by the unceremonious suddenness of Mr. Bangs' exit.

There is the downfall, the time of the downfall, and the manner of the downfall of Antichrist.
