She sprang hastily back, barely in time to escape my frenzied clutch upon her draperies; for one instant I clung to the stone slab of the floor desperately. Then she laughed, her heel crunched on my gripping fingers, and, with one muffled cry of despair, I went plunging down into the blackness.
He's going to help us get capital for mining and after that the road." "Smith! Smith! Well I'll be aren't you a claim spotter?" He turned abruptly and crunched toward the stage. His passengers followed. Dan paused with his foot on the runner and looked steadily at the traveler from under lowered, shaggy brows. "You're going to get a road out here?"
Anyhow, in the train you wanted to go by there were five people killed outright, and fourteen others crunched up and mangled in a most inartistic style. And if I hadn't locked you up as I did you'd probably be in the County Hospital at this moment in an exceedingly unpleasant predicament." Dead silence. Then, "The Lord preserve us!" ejaculated Martha, who stood by, in awe-struck tones.
Achilles, crouched on the lawn with his bone, crunched it with terrifying zeal, cracking the big joint between his jaws as if it were made of paper. His dinner devoured he ambled over toward Walter, once more sniffed his shoes and clothing, at last nestled his moist nose against the boy's hand. "I think you have won Achilles to your colors already," said Mrs. Crowninshield.

He never interrupted one of Uncle William's monologues. "I've spent a good deal o' my life," went on Uncle William, "lookin' round at things." The gravel crunched outside. The artist started. Uncle William turned a little.
