If Birkin could get at the secrets, let him. Gerald would never help him. Gerald would be a dark horse to the end. 'Of course, he said, with a startling change of conversation, 'it is father who really feels it. It will finish him. For him the world collapses. All his care now is for Winnie he must save Winnie.
But you are not unaware of the fact that a system can go on being tested until the moment when it collapses?" "And anyhow," he continued, "all this refers to private thoughts of my own, about which I can't tell you just yet. I am now going to make the final experiment, and then I shall have to decide." "What?" "Whether I remain an officer or not." This struck Reimers like a blow.
The outside public engaged in speculation to a degree not before known. Exaggerated gains, violent fluctuations in prices, meteoric rises and collapses these gave rein to a gambling spirit perennial in man.
This boat again was in the midst of icebergs. Of the four collapsible boats although collapsible is not really the correct term, for only a small portion collapses, the canvas edge; "surf boats" is really their name one was launched at the last moment by being pushed over as the sea rose to the edge of the deck, and was never righted.

The wombat is a great nuisance in districts where there are irrigation canals; its burrows weaken the banks of the water-channels, and cause collapses. The dugong is a sea mammal found on the north coast of Australia. It is said to be responsible for the idea of the mermaid. Rising out of the water, the dugong's figure has some resemblance to that of a woman.
For a time this sometimes seemed to succeed, and she certainly became prettier; but disappointment always ensued; a little over-exertion or excitement was sure to bring on illness, and there were even more painful causes for her collapses.
"But you believe in collapses of the nerves," put in Theron, with gentle sadness, "in moral and spiritual and mental breakdowns. I remember how I was touched by the way you told me YOU suffered from them. I had to take what you said then for granted. I had had no experience of it myself. But now I know what it is." He drew a long, pathetic sigh. "Oh, DON'T I know what it is!" he repeated gloomily.
