So close was Tom that the unknown collided with him, and our hero went over on his back. The other person was tossed back by the force of the impact, but quickly recovered himself, and dashed away. Not before, however, Tom had had a chance to glance at his face, and, to the chagrin of the young inventor, he recognized, by the dim light of a crescent moon, the countenance of Andy Foger!
Many arms were outstretched to detain me, and the gray-bearded guard stood fully in my path; but I dodged them all, collided with and upset a gigantic negro who wore a chauffeur's uniform and found myself level with a first-class compartment; the window was open. Amid a chorus of excited voices, I tossed my bag in at the window, leapt upon the footboard and turned the handle.
"Indeed I am proud of her," said Mr Meldrum, gazing at Kate fondly; "but you say nothing about yourself. You've been making yourself of use too." "Snakes and alligators, mister, I ain't worth a corn-chuck alongside of your gal! In course, I wer a bit flabbergasted when we collided just now with one of them hammocks of ice, I guess, hey!"
There is little more to relate of this ill-starred marriage, of which Bluebell was the fruit; for soon after her birth young Leigh was killed by being upset out of a dog-cart. Driving home with unsteady hands from mess one night, he collided with a street car, which inevitably turned over the two-wheeled vehicle.
It was very cold, and the cadets were glad enough to huddle in the straw, with the robes over them, leaving the driver to pick his way as best he could. An hour had gone by, and they were wondering if they were anywhere near Cedarville, when a wild shout rang out, and the next instant came a crash, as their sleigh collided with another coming from the opposite direction.
As long as the big floe had gone down with the current it had not been struck hard by other chunks of ice, since all were moving at the same rate of speed. Now, as the big floe was hauled cross-ways to the current, other cakes collided with it, breaking off large chunks. "There won't be anything left when we get ashore," cried Grace. "We're going to pieces fast!"
And, before anything could be done, we had collided a little heavily against the corpse. The Swede uttered a sharp cry. And I sprang back as if I had been shot.
She would freeze him with a stare; he would be shown the door, would be ejected, disgraced. As they got off the local train at B Street station they suddenly collided with the whole tribe of Sieppes the mother, father, three children, and Trina equipped for one of their eternal picnics. They were to go to Schuetzen Park, within walking distance of the station.
His course took him past Hilliard's bank, and when abreast of it he nearly collided with a man who came hurrying forth, an angry scowl between his eyes giving evidence of a surly humor. In the well-groomed, fiery-haired, plump-figured man who, absorbed in his own anger, was rushing by without raising his eyes, Emerson recognized the manager of the North American Packers' Association.
"This couple, Silas and Dilsy Harper, had had two sons so very much alike that hardly anyone save Mrs. Harper could readily distinguish them when they were attired alike. "Dave was one day walking along the street with a young lady when a policeman collided with them.
