The shocks of youthful minds among themselves have this admirable property, that one can never foresee the spark, nor divine the lightning flash. What will dart out presently? No one knows. The burst of laughter starts from a tender feeling. At the moment of jest, the serious makes its entry. Impulses depend on the first chance word.
And less still can serpents' teeth or crushed wasps have any influence in increasing the power of this poison, which is in itself intense. Evidently the Sakais, well aware of the lethal effect of a bite from a serpent, think that by introducing into the wound, by means of their dart, a tiny portion of the organ which determines this effect, an equal result will follow.

"They dart to and fro nimbly enough; but as soon as danger threatens they keep as quiet in the water as though they were nailed fast. And by mighty Isis! we have no lack of peril in these trying times. Would you like to see the lady Berenike and the others before your departure?"

We saw on the right as the only moving thing, a long, slim yacht dart out from among the bushes and steal its way up half-hidden in the shadows. Suddenly it was overtaken by either message or messenger, and like a collared hound glided back as if it had never been.
And when you come in will you bring the little bag strapped behind the saddle?" Wanda returned then, bringing the tea and a hastily prepared lunch. Dart winked at her as he went out. He led the shivering horse at a trot to the barn.
I am tired of people, tired of tears and laughter, of men that 'laugh and weep, and 'of what may come hereafter, for men that sow to reap." A letter from Terry came like a dart into her solitude and for a moment disturbed her mood her deeply hygienic, fruitful mood. She wrote to him: "Your letter was a dreadful, an overwhelming shock. It aroused passions in me which I thought were laid to rest.
We have heard of living men who have been fettered to the dead; the grievance, soberly considered, is no more than sentimental; the case is but a flea-bite to that of him who should be linked, like poor M'Guire, to an explosive bomb. A thought struck him in Green Street, like a dart through his liver: suppose it were the hour already.
