Finally he saw the whole scheme complete, the bomb-shell thrown, France hysterically casting laurels upon the man who had brought her unexpected peace. The door-bell rang. He answered it a little impatiently. A slim, fashionably dressed young Frenchman stood there, whose face was vaguely familiar to him. "Monsieur Guillot?" the newcomer inquired politely. Guillot bowed.
She must have his picture taken; and accordingly he was painted by Mr. Jervas, in his red coat, and smiling upon a bomb-shell, which was bursting at the corner of the piece. She vowed that unless he made a great match, she should never die easy, and was for ever bringing young ladies to Chelsey, with pretty faces and pretty fortunes, at the disposal of the Colonel.
"But if you telephone for a table " "I'll dine with you, if you like," he suggested. On the morning of the day when "The Bomb-Shell" was to be produced, Eric found his diary overflowing into a new volume.
The wondering servants bear madame to her rooms. All is confusion. A fainting fit. "Let's get out of here," whispers Woods, frightened by his own bomb-shell. "Stay till we get a message of formality," murmurs the diplomatic padre. "It would look like violence or insult to leave abruptly. No one here must suspect." Joe nods gloomily and wipes his brows.

"Catherine," said she, "I can't stand here and take cold, but I just want to know one thing: Have you positively made up your mind to marry that young doctor in the horse-blanket?" This question fell like a bomb-shell into the middle of the stationary sleigh. I had never asked Kitty to marry me. I loved her with all my heart and soul, and I hoped, almost believed, that she loved me.
Common whiting, sulphuric acid, and water, are used in generating this gas, and the 'boiler' in which these component parts are held, is similar in shape and size to a common bomb-shell. A small furnace, with a handful of ignited charcoal, furnishes the requisite heat for propelling this engine of 25 horsepower.
