Albert broke into a rollicking whistle and he still swung his shotgun somewhat carelessly for a hunter and marksman. He passed by one of the geysers just as it was sending up its high column of hot water and its high column of steam. "That's the way I feel, old fellow," he said. "I could erupt with just as much force."
Back and forth, about and around, stepped the little drill sergeant, a finished example of precise, graceful movement. He was explaining in clean cut, and evidently memorised speech the details of the movements he wished executed, but through his more formal and memorised vocabulary his native cockney would occasionally erupt, adding vastly to the pungency and picturesqueness of his speech.
He would reply, "The Great God would not permit me to tell you. I was a bad man, and I died the death." He named the room in the house in which he died. Corney constantly joined in any conversation carried on by the people of the house. One could never tell when a voice from the coal-cellar would erupt into the dialogue.
He was a volcano of outraged vanity and furious hate, seething with fires ready to erupt. "Some folks say it's Hart she's engaged to," purred the hatchet-faced tempter. "Maybeso. Looks to me like she's throwin' down Hart for this convict. Expect she sees he's gonna be a big man some day." "Big man! Who says so?" exploded Doble. "That's the word, Dug.
We will continue to help shape the forces of change, to anticipate emerging problems of nuclear proliferation and conventional arms sales, and to use our great strength parts of the world before they erupt and spread. We have no desire to be the world's policeman. But America does want to be the world's peacemaker.
Say, old boy, there's something doing in Mexico. The United States in general doesn't realize it. But across that line there are crazy revolutionists, ill-paid soldiers, guerrilla leaders, raiders, robbers, outlaws, bandits galore, starving peons by the thousand, girls and women in terror. Mexico is like some of her volcanoes ready to erupt fire and hell!
Then, I think, Udaipur 'last, loneliest, loveliest, apart' to knock my novel into shape before I go North. And you ?" He pensively took stock of his volcanic cousin. "Sure you're safe not to erupt again?" "Safe as houses thanks to you. That doesn't mean I can be orthodox Hindu and work for the orthodox Jaipur Raj.
A second later there were many flashes of flame and rolling clouds of dust. At the same moment the earth began to erupt fire and smoke and steel. The second wave of Mustangs disappeared into the inferno. Stan saw two of them blow up, then go bouncing and tumbling along the ground. That was all he had time to see. With his hand on the bomb release he went in.
You didn't suppose a Great Geyser would keep a gentleman all the way from California waiting here an entire night without showing him what he could do?" "No, sir; but he sometimes disappoints travelers. How do you like it? Does he compare with your California Geysers?" "Well, Zoega, he throws up more hot water, to be sure, because our Geysers don't erupt at all; but here is the grand difference.
The only excitement I get is when the ships call twice a month. I've even prayed that our beastly old volcano might erupt and do all sorts of horrible things. It might, at least, toss old Mr. Skaggs back into our midst; that would be a relief, even if he came up as a chunk of lava. But nothing happens nothing! These Persian fairies you talk about bah!
