"Now," said he, bolting the doors between the two apartments, "I wish to have you see these rooms sealed up! I must get back to the office. You would do me a great favor if you would be here and represent me as well as Clayton's interests when the detectives search to-morrow. For nothing more can be done till I hook on to Worthington, or the police may have a report from the outside.
He was interrupted by a slight scuffling noise in the shop, and the cat came bolting into the room, and, after running round the table, went out at the door and fled upstairs. The assistant came into the room. "What are you worrying the thing for?" demanded his master. "I'm not worrying it," said the assistant in an aggrieved voice.
For the First: The vial, as it letteth out what is in it by degrees; so it doth it with certain gusts, that are mixed with strength and violence, bolting it out with noise, &c.
Then, after a long period of beatific solitude in the breakfast-room, he heard stealthy noises in the hall, and his fancy jumped to the idea of burglary. Excited, unreflecting, he hurried into the hall. Johnnie Orgreave, who had let himself in with a latchkey, was shutting and bolting the front door. Johnnie's surprise was the greater.

On a train of specially constructed flat-cars another army was bolting together a long section of track, clamping the double line of rails at intervals to hold them to gauge.
When his next supper came he had done a day and a half's work; he had lived and exerted himself more in that day and a half than during any average month of his previous life. As a consequence, when Bill and Snip looked round for Jan's supper, after bolting their own, they saw a great hound with stiff legs and erect hackles, alert in every hair of his body but no supper.
She stepped inside and closed the door behind her. "True enough, Mrs. Dubois, but naturally a poor country doctor like me would hesitate before bolting in upon the privacy of a rich widow." "If you use 'poor' in the sense of incompetent I am afraid I must agree with you," was the unexpected answer. "Ah, beginning to feel your oats, my dear."
All seemed in order, and the fellow's explanation seemed to be quite feasible save for the fact that I distinctly remembered bolting the door. Nevertheless I began to wonder whether I had not misjudged him. "Come along to my room, señor," he urged. "I will show you my identity papers. I have to offer you a thousand apologies."
