The clouds split apart in the zenith; the sun burst through; on both sides the broad mountain billowed away to white lowlands; the air was alive with little, brilliant spots of electricity. It cheered Bull Hunter vastly. The gale, which was tumbling the clouds down the arch of the sky and toward the east, was more mighty than ever, but he put his head down to it confidently and began the descent.
Shefford halted his tired horse and gazed with slowly realizing eyes. A league-long slope of sage rolled and billowed down to Red Lake, a dry red basin, denuded and glistening, a hollow in the desert, a lonely and desolate door to the vast, wild, and broken upland beyond.
"Only a small escape passage," he said deprecatingly as the Hawk crouched, gun ready, his eyes on the suspected place in the wall. Friday threw the switch. Immediately there sounded a short, sharp explosion. And acrid smoke billowed out from under the case of coordinated brains! Carse sprang to Ku Sui, gripped one arm and cried harshly: "What have you done?"
She kept thinking about George rising dank and dripping from the fountain. She hated to think about it. So she changed the subject. "I thought you were painting." "I was. But the moor is fickle. Yesterday she billowed towards the south, all gray and blue. And last night the storm spoiled it; she is gorgeous and gay to-day, and I don't like her." "Oh, why not?" "She is too obvious.
"Let your air be good, and your composition will be so likewise, and will assuredly delight," says tuneful Father Haydn, and Music's outline in melody limns, as does that of Nature, the beauty of her design. It speaks of wood or stream, of billowed sky, and now of sombre shadow. It ripples in dainty dance, or tumbles down in cascades of joy.
I tried medicine and exercise, but it was useless, and my father came to take my letters off my hands while I gave myself some ineffectual respites. I made a little journey to my old home in southern Ohio, but there and everywhere, the sure and firm-set earth waved and billowed under my feet, and I came back to Columbus and tried to forget in my work the fact that I was no better.
For the present, several low hills, like grass-sown waves, billowed between her and it. But by and by, perhaps, she would hear the "teuf-teuf" of Nick's motor coming along the new road, to fetch her and Carmen. Would he be glad or sorry when he found that she was alone? She hoped that he would be glad, but Mrs. Gaylor was so beautiful that it was hard to be sure.
Last year's defeat had been avenged. America had made good. A roar as of an avalanche boomed and billowed about him. The thousands on the stands yelled, stamped and cooeyed. "Hail, Columbia!" bellowed the triumphant Boys. "Stand down, England!" "What price the Yankee-doodlers?" "Who gives the Mustang best?" In that tumult of sound, individual voices were lost.
He turned from them, giving the Dutchman his life to make out of it what he might. From the top one of the ridges such as billowed like swells of the sea that gray-green, treeless plain, Morgan looked back. All of them but the Dutchman were either lying or sitting on the ground, beaten and winded by the torture of their bonds and the hard drive of more than three miles in the burning sun.
The cloudy METALLIC hair billowed as though wind had blown it. From the lifted throat came a low, a vibrant cry; harmonious, weirdly disquieting, golden and sweet and laden with the eery, minor wailings of the blue valley's night, the dragoned chamber. Before the cry had ceased there poured with incredible swiftness out of the crevice score upon score of the metal things.
