Even as he spoke, Laurie observed that one of the clutching, clawing hands had apparently got hold of what it was seeking. Doris, feeling her way through the blackness of the storm on the unfamiliar country road, heard above the wind the sound of a sharp explosion which she thought meant a blown-out tire. She did not stop.
At length, although the Inca's armies had suffered sorely, we forced those of Urco to the shores of the Lake Titicaca, where most of them melted away into the swamps and certain tree-clad, low-lying valleys. Urco himself, however, with a number of followers, escaped in boats to the holy island in the lake. We built a fleet of balsas with reeds and blown-out sheepskins, and followed him.
You know, now, that your train can't get through by tonight -probably not even by tomorrow night. You realize at last -eh? -that you've lost your train and your charter -your railroad?" "I wasn't thinking of the train, or of the road," Tom groaned. "What I'm thinking of is the train, traveling at high speed, running into that blown-out place. The train will be ditched and the crew killed.
You have, I know, often smelt the vapour of a blown-out candle and a very bad smell it is; but if you blow it out cleverly, you will be able to see pretty well the vapour into which this solid matter is transformed.
If she had few wrinkles, it was because her mind had never traced its name or any other inscription on her face. A cool, waxy, blown-out woman, who had never lighted well. Mrs General had no opinions. Her way of forming a mind was to prevent it from forming opinions.

For the fighting men with whom I lived became mud-covered. Theirs was a dug-in and blown-out existence, with the spatterings of storm and black nights on them.
Fat priest "Taisez-vous, dis-je; ce n'est pas le corps. Il n'arrivera pas pour une heure." The little drums were instantly hushed, the procession turned to the right-about, and walked back to the altar again, the blown-out candle that had been on the near side of us before was now on the off side, the National Guards set down their muskets and began at their sandwiches again.
The hole made was quickly enlarged, and the rescuers scrambled through. But still fall after fall on the further side delayed their progress, and the work of repairing the blown-out stoppings by such wood brattice as could be got at, was long and tedious. The rescuers toiled and sweated, pausing every now and then to draw upon the food and drink sent up from behind; and the hours flew unheeded.
But all the while old Maisie was haunted with images of a chaise blown into ditches and over bridges, and colliding with blown-down elms, in league for mischief with blown-out lamps. Be advised, and never fidget about the absent!
I held my tongue about you these eleven years past, I held it yesterday and saved your paltry life, and you'd repay me by stabbing me in the dark in a fine old-fashioned way too, with your trap-doors, and blown-out candle, and Italian tricks " He held the candle down near the white beard as though he would singe it. "Come, sit up against the wall there and let me look at you."
