"I've seen it in my nightmares. It was the iron clamp or prop on the pedestal, stuck on to keep the wretched image upright when it began to wobble, I suppose. Anyhow, it was always stuck in the stonework there; and I suppose it came out when the thing collapsed." Doctor Prince nodded, but he continued to look down at the pools of blood and the bar of iron.
"As we ran off the field, after the game, I happened to stop, turned, and discovered Hotchkiss standing on the side of the field, with his feet planted well apart, like an old bull at bay. I went back where he was and said: "'Come on, Bill, what's the matter? "'I don't know, said he. 'There's something the matter with my ankles. I don't think I can walk. "He took one step and collapsed.
To his distracted cry asking for a new religion, Rome had been content to reply by condemning his book as a work tainted with heresy, and he himself had withdrawn it amidst the bitter grief of his disillusions. He had seen, he had understood, and all had collapsed. And it was himself, his soul and his brain, which lay among the ruins. Pierre was stifling.

These gluttons are the scavengers of navies, following ships in the South Seas, picking up odds and ends of garbage, and sometimes a tit-bit, a stray sailor.
"I will kill him!" "There's a fellow who is not content!" said a passing workman, and the jesting words calmed the incandescent madness to which Theodose was a prey. As he left Cerizet's the idea came to him to go to Flavie and tell her all. Southern natures are born thus strong until certain passions arise, and then collapsed.
Mirabelle's money, not to be replaced. And then she nearly collapsed! the unspeakable humiliation of retracting her pledge to the national convention.
