Young Hermann's sword broke against a Danish axe; he rushed in and got within the swing of the weapon; both wrestled for the deadly steel, they fell, rolled over and over on the grass; at length Hermann grasped his opponent's throat like a vice with his mailed hand, and held till the arms of his foe hung nerveless by the side and the face grew black, when, disengaging his right hand, he found his dagger, and drove it to the victim's heart.
"Come, dear. Come with me. Let us go, and forget everything but our united happiness." Disengaging herself brusquely, she escaped him, with an instinctive rebellion, and trying to stand up, this cry came at last from her: "No, no! I cannot go. I no longer have the power to do so."
He gives a great jerk, dragging the bull to his knees, then another, and the bull is on his side and rolling over and over down the hill, Rafael following fast, slackening his lariat. The boys now cheer wildly, although danger is not over yes, in another moment it is, and Rafael, smiling complacently, is at the foot of the hill, disengaging the humbled bull.
"Everything, or else I've gone nutty," is the indignant reply, delivered while disengaging a leg from its Teddy Bear trousering.

His machine gun quit firing and his propeller wasn't turning and yet the darn fool just hung up there as if he were tied to a cloud.
For some moments he held her fast, gently caressing with his hand her face and her beautiful hair till she grew quiet.

She needed that support, and for a few minutes didn't seem even conscious of it. Then gently disengaging, she moved a foot or two away. "Where are we do you know?" "On the South Downs, somewhere?" Lanyard suggested, consulting Vauquelin.
"William William!" said Mr. Martin. "Oh! no! It cannot be!" "It is! Yes! It is my poor, poor boy!" replied the mother, disengaging herself from his clasping arms, and pushing him off so that she could get a full view of his face. "Oh! William! My son! my son!" And again she hugged him wildly to her bosom. How freely the tears of joy mingled on that happy Thanksgiving day, need not be told.
If, upon the Engagement, he goes to your Blade with his Fort, you must cut under his Wrist, and if with his Feeble, disengage and push without in Tierce.
