Then he let a drop of something fall on the ruby and it fizzled up for all the world like pink champagne. "Go on, don't mind me!" I told him, so he touched the diamond with an electric wire "phit!" and there was only something that looked like the ash of a shocking bad cigar. Then the pearls and they popped like so many air-balloons. "Are you satisfied?" he asked.
"If I wasn't a wicked capitalist I might agree with you MAYBE. I'm not going to scold you for it because you THOUGHT it was right, and that always makes the big difference.... You thought you were doing something splendid, didn't you and then it fizzled.
But the fuse of the first bomb, rolling about on the main deck, merely fizzled on; and as I waited I resolved to shorten my remaining fuses. Any of the men who fled, had he had the courage, could have pinched off the fuse, or tossed the bomb overboard, or, better yet, he could have tossed it up amongst us on the poop.
After a while it fizzled out to nothing at all, and the Persimmon asked in a queer manner: "Did you give Tump some women's clo'es, Peter?" It was such an odd question that at first Peter was at loss; then he recalled Nan Berry's despatching Cissie some underwear. He explained this to the Persimmon, and tacked on a curious, "Why?" "Oh, nothin'; nothin' 'tall.
He knew who was on his trail THIS TIME. We got the men indicted, and the sheriff had the order of arrest; but he held it for a week, and probably sent word to Bridekirk to keep out of the way. So law, as usual in these parts, fizzled, and it became necessary to try something surer.
The present relieved us of most of their attentions for a short time at least, as they eagerly divided the remains of their late comrade among them. To while away the time we spun yarns without much point, I am afraid; and sung songs, albeit we did not feel much like singing till after a while our poor attempts at gaiety fizzled out like a damp match, leaving us silent and depressed.
But they threw a new kind of darkness; they threw the darkness in new directions. The first was this. The family physician of the St. Clares quarrelled with that family, and began publishing a violent series of articles, in which he said that the late general was a religious maniac; but as far as the tale went, this seemed to mean little more than a religious man. "Anyhow, the story fizzled out.
Azuma-zi hesitated, and then slipped across noiselessly into the shadow by the switch. There he waited. Presently the manager's footsteps could be heard returning. He stopped in his old position, unconscious of the stoker crouching ten feet away from him. Then the big dynamo suddenly fizzled, and in another moment Azuma-zi had sprung out of the darkness upon him.
I was sorry I had ever shouted down to Bert Winton that maybe the passageway came out there. Anyway, I held the lantern into the passage way. It was a sort of an opening between two big rocks inside. Then I squeezed myself in and went ahead about thirty or forty feet, I guess. And that was every bit as far as I could go. The passageway just fizzled out against a great big rock.
As I said afterwards, it's all very well, to say 'Give 'em hell, but you can't give it to 'em, if you don't know what it's like!..." But the oratory failed, and the gaiety fizzled out, and after a while Mrs. Graham, finding the silence and her thoughts insupportable, left them and went to bed. "Come and say 'Good-night' to me," she said to Ninian as she left the room.
