"She looked at me with such a bitter, ironical smile, that I stopped. "'And all that, you think, is very simple, she broke in. 'Do you really imagine people will think it very natural that you should thus fall like a bombshell upon Boiscoran, and immediately set out for the Red Men's Cross-roads in the forest? Who knows but you have been followed?
And the same instant the doctor down by the end of the conservatory began running towards them, calling out something as he ran. As he came among them like a bombshell the restless Atkinson happened to be taking a turn nearer to the house front; and the doctor clutched him by the collar in a convulsive grip. "Foul play!" he cried; "what have you been doing to him, you dog?"
The next moment a small figure shot past her, down the steps, and into the carriage like a red-hooded bombshell. "Uncle Cyrus!" she screamed joyously. "Uncle Cyrus, it's me! Here I am!" And Captain Cy, springing up and shedding wraps and robes, received the bombshell with open arms and hugged it tight. "Bos'n!" he shouted. "By the big dipper! BOS'N! Why, you little you you "

"I will fire a gun and hoist all the bunting to signal the town," cried the skipper, his face shining. "And presently I'll send you to the wharf in my own boat, but first tell me, boys, who took you off the little raft and whence come you in this ship's boat?" "Blackbeard rescued us. And we borrowed the boat from him," demurely answered Jack, watching the effect of this bombshell of a sensation.
Turning suddenly towards Woodbury, he thundered out in a tone of indignant scorn, as he shook his fist over his head: "I employ no scavengers;" and the poor New Hampshire Senator ducked his bald head as if struck by a bombshell. The closing passage of that memorable speech could not have been extemporized.
"Now for it, you young villain!" and raising his whip, he brought it down with a heavy slash on the horse's flank. Had the snow-drift been a cannon, and the horse a bombshell, he could scarcely have sprung from it with greater velocity.
