"Not to-night," said the Countess, "No!" She drew herself away from the arm of the Prince and her lashes drooped over her eyes. "I am tired later perhaps, Prince." Her voice, low and remonstrating, was lost in the swing of the waltz. With a sudden, swift movement the scarlet and white seemed welded together, whirling into the vortex of light and of motion. No word was exchanged.
The young lieutenant could pity the man, while he rejoiced at his ill success in building up the navy of the Confederacy. His attention was drawn off from his uncle by the sudden sinking of the Dornoch; and the vortex that followed her disappearance extended to the Chateaugay. Most of the officers and seamen had brought off the whole or a part of their clothing and other articles.
It just bit a lower lip as an arm fanned away the smoke. These were hard gestures that were in part flailing against the personal life sucking her into its vortex of winds, and in part a protest of a man's insolence toward this womanly weakness that he correctly presumed to ooze within her.
Once the plaited rawhide was wetted it would twist and bind in the honda and before Creede could beat it straight and coil it his partner would be far out in the centre of the vortex.

The windmill upon the hill Pozières Its topography Warlike intensity of the Australians A "stiff job" An Australian chronicler Incentives to Australian efficiency German complaint that the Australians came too fast Clockwork efficiency Man-to-man business Sunburned, gaunt battalions from the vortex The fighting on the Ridge Mouquet Farm A contest of individuality against discipline "Advance, Australia!"
And it is doubted whether any storm could ever attain, much less continue, the terrific force of that most dreaded of winds of temperate zones, the tornado a storm which obeys all the laws of cyclones, but differs from ordinary cyclones in having a vortex core only a few feet or yards in diameter without the aid of those great masses of condensing vapor which always accompany it in the form of storm-clouds.
