Chirac's inability to draw from his own pride strength to sustain himself against the blow of her refusal gradually killed in her the sexual desire which he had aroused, and which during a few days flickered up under the stimulus of fancy and of regret. Sophia saw with increasing clearness that her unreasoning instinct had been right in saying him nay.
But you may suppose I paid no heed; jumping, ducking, and breaking through, I ran straight before my nose till I could run no longer.

Then there was a heavy snorting and the locomotive came round a curve, rocking and belching out black smoke.

Festing waited anxiously, because the wheels of a locomotive when driven hard strikes what is called a hammer blow.
