Yea, if like barren rock thou sit Upon a land of dearth, Round which but phantom waters flit, Of visionary birth Yet be thou still, and wait, wait long; There comes a sea to drown the wrong, His glory shall o'erwhelm the earth, And thou, no more a scathed rock, Shall start alive with gladsome shock, Shalt a hand-clapping billow be, And shout with the eternal sea!
Jerry waved his hands to them and bowed and a patter of hand-clapping ran along the audience as they passed until they reached the entrance. Chris suddenly cried, "Danny! Look at them el'funts! They're standin' on their heads! Lookee!" Jerry just had to see that and he squirmed around in Whiteface's arms. "They're funny!" he laughed. "Which one is Sult Anna?"

Suddenly three or four quick, sharp yelps brought my gun to the "ready," and the hammers clicked as a burst of music followed.
Then, as if strange and a-far from myself, I stepped easily into the very centre of the half moon of squatting beasts, and made my speech ... at the end, there was hardly any applause till I was safely out of the cage ...

The servants were entering with tea as Honora made her way towards the door, where she was stopped by Susan Holt. "My dear Honora," cried Mrs. Holt, who had hurried after her daughter, "you're not going?"
In the midst of it Thomp and Badger made a rush for Dick Prescott, caught him, and rushed him to the platform. But they had to hold him there. "Speech! speech!" roared the boy and girl assemblage. There was a volley of hand-clapping. But Dick, as soon as he could make himself heard, responded: "You've got my number -nothing but the freshman class.
