"He says," said Samoset, interpreting to suit the chief, "that the Indians were to drive the strangers, as the wind whirls the leaves into little heaps." "There will be two words to that bargain," said Dudley. "I trow it will take more than one Powah to make me believe such a story." "It is the inspiration of the devil, who is ever the father of lies," observed Endicott.
As when the forest is on fire the nests of young birds are consumed in the flames, and the mother-bird bringing food, and seeing neither tree, nor nest, nor young ones, with cries of anguish whirls in circles round the fire seeking her nest, so did Nagendra wander from place to place in search of Surja Mukhi.
Sometimes there was great amusement when it was a draw dance, for then you had to accept your partner whether or no. Whole families went, grandmothers and grandchildren. There were cards and conversation circles for those who did not care to join the mazy whirls.

Not a speck in view, except perchance a grazing steer or horse. Not a movement but the eddying whirls of dust, and the nodding of the bowing grass heads as they bend to the gentle pressure of the lightest of zephyrs. And yet no doubt there are human beings about; aye, even within half a mile.

Hence, when the tourist approaching the station sticks his head out of the window or unwisely remains on the platform of the observation car, this forty-mile "zephyr," as they term it in San Pasqual, sighs joyously past him, snatches his headgear, whirls it down the tracks and deposits it at the western boundary of Donna's "ranch."
Marjorie's done a lot of nice turns for me, and this looked like it was my play to lend a hand. "With two or three more," says I, "you could form a perfectly good mob, couldn't you?" Mr. Robert whirls and demands sarcastic, "Well, what would you suggest, young man?"
See, the domes are bigger now and nearer, and the road goes straight without winding." "Velasco I cannot walk! I cannot see! Everything whirls before me in a mist Go!

The golden ball of the sun had begun to climb slowly and the shafts had grown suddenly yellow.
