Drop in and have a glass of wine with us some evening; to-night, if you are at liberty." "What I can tell you won't take long," said Clubbe, over his shoulder; for the tide was turning, and in a few minutes would be ebbing fast. "Dare say not. But we have a good bin of claret at 'The Black Sailor, and shall be glad of your opinion on it."
Sir Modred struck the king on the helmet, which had been worn thin in many battles. The stroke cut through the steel, and wounded Arthur mortally, but he used his ebbing strength for one last blow with Excalibur, and killed Sir Modred. The king sank to the ground, but Sir Bedivere lifted him, and bore him to a ruined chapel near the seashore.
Her companion bent over her, and, as a flood of tears poured from his sunken eyes, he imprinted a kiss upon her pale cheek. "Do you feel no better, Delia?" asked he, tenderly. "Alas, no! The sands of life are fast ebbing out. O, for a single drop of cold water!"
There, in that fearful hollow, lives were ebbing away like the sea on a shallow beach. They fought for air, for breath, for light, for life. I can see Peter Thigh to this day as he staggers to his feet and cries, wildly: "The mouth of blazes would be a Sunday parlour to this! Lead on, doctor, I am dying here!"
He loved to hunt for crabs and sea-anemones beside the ebbing channels, or to watch the jelly-fish left high and dry upon the shore by the retreating water. Already, in his simple way, the little ragged bare-footed Scotch laddie was at heart a born naturalist.

It do seem to me that he's 'most took for death, but we'll pull him through by the help of God Almighty." This was no easy matter; for the little life seemed to be ebbing further and further away from this world's shores, and often it seemed to Hester that the unconscious child scarcely breathed.
In my mind I began to review past disappointments, and life seemed one long record of failure and of non-arrival. Disillusioned and depressed, I left my work and went to the window. The light was ebbing from the room, and outside seemed to be collecting itself on the horizon for its concentrated effort of sunset.
I felt her strength ebbing between my knees. Here and there she blundered in her stride. And somewhere, over the ridge yonder, lay the Army of the West, and we alone could save it. The road, for half a mile, now fetched a sudden loop, though the country on either side was level enough.
He was aware, too, of his own delicately coloured lights casting their softness behind him. Gudrun rested her paddle and looked round. The canoe lifted with the lightest ebbing of the water. Gerald's white knees were very near to her. 'Isn't it beautiful! she said softly, as if reverently. She looked at him, as he leaned back against the faint crystal of the lantern-light.
