Kantos Kan dropped quickly into the darkness, while I rose steadily and at terrific speed raced through the Martian sky followed by a dozen of the air-scout craft which had joined the pursuit, and later by a swift cruiser carrying a hundred men and a battery of rapid-fire guns.
"Was it the other?" he was obliged to speak, so that an accurate version of the affair was arrived at before tea was over. Constance alone saw that something unusual was the matter with him. She attributed it to fears at the absence of Hamish, who had been expected home to tea, and did not come in. Constance's own fears at this absence grew to a terrific height. Had he been arrested?
It was now possible for me to pay an official visit to Baltimore and to view the Deutschland. The Mayor of the town accompanied me and went down with me, in spite of the terrific heat of about 40° centigrade, into the lowest parts of the submarine, which cost the stoutly-built gentleman considerable effort and a good deal of perspiration.
The valley of the great Teesta River, the valleys of its tributaries, the gorges through which the main river and its tributaries rush, the cascades pouring in succession down the mountain-sides, the sequestered glens and dells all these have beauties which the terrific rain and the mists in which they are usually enveloped do not hide but augment.

"I would try to do something. I don't know. Couldn't I teach Spanish?"
By some means or other the message was got through to the doctor, possibly by telephone. It was a vile night. A terrific thunderstorm was raging, and the rain was falling in torrents. After dispatching their message my two friends resumed their vigil beside my bed, hoping against hope that Dr. Ascher would call early the following morning.
At last, one day in autumn, the little Eloise, who had just learned to run alone, wandered off by herself to a bluff, or rock, or something, from which she fell into the river. The mother, Petrea, was close by, and her terrific shrieks brought Richard to the spot in time to save the child.
By what hypocritical conduct was he distinguished? To whom was he particularly terrible? What terrific ceremonies did he invent on one occasion? Was the result fatal to them? Did not his cruelties become still more insupportable at the latter part of his reign? Who was among the number that he at the same time caressed and suspected? Whose name did Domitia discover among his list of victims?
