You may escape the grip of the law, because the existence of such life was not known by society; but I tell you that at last God will shove down on you the avalanche of his indignation; and though you may not have wielded knife or pistol in your deeds of darkness, yet, in the day when John Wilkes Booth and Antony Probst come to judgment, you will have on your brow the brand of murderer.
One little event trod on the heels of another, rubble skirling down the mountain-side, growing to an avalanche. Or, again, Cosgrave might have been the odd, unlikely keystone of their daily life. He had not seemed to matter much, but now that he had been torn out the bridge between them crumbled.

Hold the place for half an hour and twenty right sober men shall ye have." And with that the Lubber Fiend disappeared in a final avalanche of brick-dust and clay clods. He was gone, and half an hour was a long time to wait. Yet in such a case there was nothing for it but to stand it out.
This had been already seriously undermined by the operations of Gideon; a few well-directed blows, and it already quaked and gaped; yet a few more, and it fell about Morris in a shower of boards followed by an avalanche of straw. And now the leather-merchant could behold the nature of his task: and at the first sight his spirit quailed.
