There came a slight sound at the door, and again his eyes were open. In a moment, with incredible briskness, he was off the couch and half-way across the room before, seized with sudden dizziness, he began to falter. Trevor Mordaunt, entering, made a dive forward, and held him up. "Now, my friend, lie down again," he said, "and stay down till further orders."
Happy were I if for a brief space I could become a Cingalese that I might swim out far into that pool, dive down into its deepest part and endeavour to discover any strange things which beneath its surface may lie. Much in this guise rolled my thoughts as I lay stretched on the margin of the lake.
Medical practitioners, who dive into the inmost recesses of the human frame in pursuit of knowledge, and who search through the mineral and vegetable kingdom for relief, when will you produce a balm so healing, a specific so powerful, an elixir so instantaneous or restorative, as joy?
Oh, what great things are the souls of the sons of men! The soul capable of diving into the depths and mysteries of hell. But again, as the soul is thus capable of enjoying God in glory, and of prying into these mysteries that are in him, so it is capable, with great profundity, to dive into the mysterious depths of hell.
And this was indeed the case, for just at this moment there came to his side a young Greek, who acted as his first officer, and pointing away astern in the south-western board, said: "There is a man-of-war, sir, standing right in our wake hereaway." "You are right we are discovered, too, for he steers like a hawk on the wing about to dive for its prey."
Graham ceased pursuit to watch the completion of the dive, and saw his hostess, a few feet above the water, bend her head forward, straighten out her arms and lock the hands to form the arch before her head, and, so shifting the balance of her body, change it from the horizontal to the perfect, water-cleaving angle.
He made a dive for one place and sat in it, never noting a thin stick in the corner, and he cleared out with enormous apologies when a perfectly groomed Major with an exceedingly pleasant manner mentioned that it was his seat, and carefully put the stick elsewhere as soon as Peter had gone.
Lord Lambeth stared and looked round him. "I daresay he could. Beaumont often comes here. Don't you think you could find him, Woodley? Make a dive into the crowd." "Thank you; I have had enough diving," said Willie Woodley. "I will wait till Mr. Beaumont comes to the surface." "I will bring him to see you," said Lord Lambeth; "where are you staying?"
There was an extraordinary stroboscopic effect. One of the two starboard propellers, seen through the other, abruptly took on a look which was not that of mistiness at all, but of writhing, gyrating solidity. The peculiar appearance vanished, and came again, and vanished and appeared yet again before it disappeared completely. The jet shot on ahead. Its dive brakes retracted.
She had better call on me in person; it may be worth her while. At home every day, 10 3, this week. As for yourself, you need not address me through Greatrex. I have seen you pull No. 6, and afterward stroke in the University boat, and you dived in Portsmouth Harbor, and saved a sailor. "Yours very truly, "And did you?" "Did I what?" "Dive and save a sailor."
