He only rallied a little when the wheels moved more quietly and smoothly, and he knew that he was on the open road, and out of Rome. Suddenly, after jolting along a considerable time, the vehicle stopped, and the driver shouted to him. Varillo dashed down the window and put his head out, almost beside himself with rage. "What are you stopping for! What are you stopping for!" he yelled.
He had dashed off, to the tune of his own wild mood, and left his father to the assaults of emotions perhaps as overwhelming and with no young strength to meet them. "I'll go up," said he. "Did you call a doctor?" "No. He wouldn't let me." Jeff ran up the stairs and found Lydia in a chair outside the colonel's door. She looked pathetically tired and anxious.
After a while a wind came swooping down on the quiet water through a dip in the hills, and nearly blew the skiff's bows out of water. The sleeping lake woke up, pitched and foamed, and beat upon the bows and dashed over the young men till they were nearly as wet as the waves themselves.
Hope caught his daughter up in his arms and put her into a cavity. "Fly, men, to the other part of the mine," he cried. There was a louder explosion. In ran Burnley terrified at his own work, and flying to escape. Hope sprang out upon him. "No you don't living or dead, you are the last to leave this mine."

"All right!" answered the brave girl, and, giving rein to her horse, she dashed off ahead of a detachment of cavalry that was to try to intercept her. On and on rode Estelle. Ruth and Alice, who had finished their part in this scene, stood on a little hill, watching her. On and on dashed Estelle, doing her part well, and foot after foot of the film registered her action.
"He is dashed by your presence," she said, apologizing to her husband; "but is he not a handsome boy?" "And so is Wolf," said Sir Halbert, as he patted his huge four-footed favourite, "a handsome dog; but he has this double advantage over your new favourite, that he does what he is commanded, and hears not when he is praised."
This lake is dangerous to navigate on account of the many rocks rising perpendicularly out of the water, which, in a storm, shatter a boat dashed against them to pieces, and the passengers would find an inevitable grave in the deep waters. We had a flesh and a favourable breeze, which blew us quickly to our destination. One of the rocks on the coast has a very loud echo.
His bark, after being tossed in the revolutionary tempest, now raised to heaven by all the fury of popular breath, now almost dashed in pieces, and buried in the quicksands of ignorance, or scorched with the lightning of momentary indignation, at length floats on the calm wave that is to bear it down the stream of time.
