But the strangest and most unexpected occurrence, was a grand rush, as of a herd of wild bulls, on the stairs, accompanied by the dousing of the one remaining light in the entry.
An instant later Tom's plan was made clear to his chum. He saw Tom circling over the burning red shed, and then the bank clerk saw what looked like fine rain dropping from the lower part of the balloon straight into the flames. "He can't be dousing water on from up above there," reasoned Ned.
On leaving the sudatory chamber, the horse should first be well scraped with the scraper, carefully sponging, or dousing him, if necessary, with warm water.
"I remember once walking home with a couple of men, and one of them suggested dousing all the street lamps in the road, which was a residential one leading into town. There wasn't anything in it, but we did it. One man put his back against a post, while the second went on to the next post.

"The scrap with the farmer, dousing the sparks on that girl, and deciding on going to Yale! "Jove, though, but I'm glad I've made up my mind! Yale! I wonder if I'll be worthy of it?" Andy leaned against the window and looked out to where the moonlight made fantastic shadows through the big maples on the green.
