Frothingham had a fashion of making ready to speak and soliciting attention by the act, and then collapsing suddenly with no explosion, like a bad Roman candle. He did this now, and whatever he meant to say was lost to the race; but he looked very wise the while. It was rather as if he discarded you as a fit listener, than that he discarded his own comment.
Next, and finally so rapidly did the malady run its course a state of coma intervened; and finally the cow, collapsing upon the doorstep of the Officers' Mess, breathed her last before any one could be found to point out to her the liberty she was taking.
"I couldn't go back, but I did not know how it would be," said Jock, in a choked voice, collapsing at last, and hiding his face on his mother's lap. "My Jock, I am so sorry! I wish it were not too late. I could not have let you give up so much," and she fondled his head. "I did not think I had been so weak as to let you see." "No, mother.
"I I canna," said the engineer, raising himself erect from the waist and collapsing again; but the other staggered on and disappeared down the companion hatchway. Two or three minutes passed before he re-emerged. "It's no go," he shouted up. "Skipper says as we must 'ave Faith.

Forgetting about my subterfuge of the sprained ankle, I wander forth without the aforementioned limp; but the people seem to have forgotten it as completely as I had; at all events, nobody makes any comments. A ripple of excitement is caused by a two-storied house collapsing from the effects of the soaking rains, an occurrence by no means infrequent in the spring in a country of mud-built houses.
Seeing nothing, he glanced in astonishment up at the book shelves and then back to the table, shook his head, and suddenly collapsing, sank in a doze on the nearest chair. Miss Butterworth drew a long breath, eyed Mr. Gryce with some curiosity, and then triumphantly exclaimed: "Can you read the meaning of all that? I think I can.
Then the doctor was hastily summoned by telephone; the dignitary was collapsing. The wife of his Excellency was also called. Everything befell as the police had foretold.
The older men crossed their legs, sat far down on their spines, and narrowed their eyes. The brick wall of the Customs House, held from collapsing by a row of rusty iron stars, seemed to bulge more than its wont for the moment its upper window, a ship's deadlight, round and expressionless as the eye of a codfish.
I was heavy-eyed from want of sleep, while my face had assumed a sickly, revolting pallor from rapidly collapsing health. Again I was summoned to the Commandant's office. My goods were exactly as I had left them thirty minutes before. I was busily strapping up my goods when the door opened to admit the Commandant, guard and four other prisoners, whom I had not seen before.
