The gun was opened; the shot cartridge drawn out, a blank one substituted; and directly after, the black darkness that had seemed to settle down over them was cut by a vivid flash, and the utter silence that was brooding over the river was broken by the deep-mouthed roar of the great breech-loading cannon.
Man rises sooner than the sun, and already sound the whistle of the ploughman, the song of the mower, and the forge of the smith; and hark to the bugle of the hunter, and the baying of his deep-mouthed hound.
"Give her another closer this time," cried the lieutenant; and once more the gun uttered its deep-mouthed roar, and the shot went skipping along the smooth surface of the sea, this time splashing the water a few yards only ahead of the lugger. "I think that will bring him to his senses," cried the lieutenant, using his glass.
From the other end of the room came Frank's deep-mouthed shout, "The set is forming! Promenade to your places!" Nelly moved swiftly in that direction and again Vincent found himself opposite Frank, dancing this time with Marise Crittenden. The music broke out into its shaking, quavering iteration of the pulse of the dance. "Salute your partners!"
There was no answer; she could only hear the drumming of her heart. She knocked again. From within came the scraping of a chair cautiously shoved back, followed by a deep-mouthed cavernous growl. Her heart stood still, but she turned the handle and entered, leaving a crack open behind. On the far side the room a little man was sitting.
What d'ye lack, sir? What d'ye lack, madam? Barnacles watches clocks?"

They read and discussed and argued far into the night; and when at last Reginald gave the order to go to bed there were no two friends more devoted than the Secretary of the Select Agency Corporation and his office-boy. Love's sleep that night was like the sleep of a pugilistic terrier, who in his dreams encounters and overcomes even deep-mouthed mastiffs and colossal Saint Bernards.
Deep-mouthed, long-breathed, and pertinacious, taking a pinch of snuff betwixt every sentence, which otherwise seemed interminable the veteran pleader prosed over all the themes which had been treated so luminously by Fairford: he quietly and imperceptibly replaced all the rubbish which the other had cleared away, and succeeded in restoring the veil of obscurity and unintelligibility which had for many years darkened the case of Peebles against Plainstanes; and the matter was once more hung up by a remit to an accountant, with instruction to report before answer.
