"Shut your throats, colts," Towy rebuked the people. "Say after me: 'Go round my backhead, Satan." "Go round my backhead, Satan," the people obeyed. "Catch him and skin him," Towy screamed. "Teach him we will to snook about here." Fear arming his courage, Satan shouted: "He who hurts me him shall I pitch head-long to the flames."
But he was entangled among the sticks and thorns and was on broken ground, and jumping short, came down into the ditch. The Squire fell heavily head-long on to the field, and the horse, with no further effort of his own, but unable to restrain himself, rolled over his master.
But Philip, white with anger, was too quick for him, and at the top of the back-stairs he dealt him such a heavy blow that Charles fell head-long down the first flight. Alice and I flew to the rescue. I lived in dread of Philip really injuring Charles some day, for his blows were becoming serious ones as he grew taller and stronger, and his self-control did not seem to wax in proportion.
With a snap the ropes parted, the cable went writhing and twisting up the track, the unwieldy apparatus came to a stop. Dan found himself beset by a half-dozen of the enemy, who, having singled him out of the general confusion as the cause of disaster, came at him head-long.
Instantly, I raised my gun and fired at the foremost, who plunged head-long, with a hideous howling. Then, I turned to run.

Charles Boner, in his work on Transylvania, says that even the aged find it impossible to resist the dance when a gypsy band invites them to it. Their prelude is slow and sonorous, the music quickens, there is a rush of tones, the fantastic melody hastens on at a head-long pace every one, old and young, is under its spell. Many of the Hungarian gypsies are composers as well as performers.
Well, Doctor Johnson believed in ghosts," laughed Traverse. "It remained for me to retreat as fast as possible to my room to avoid the Le Noirs, who were hurrying with head-long speed to the guest-chamber. They knew of course, that I was the ghost, although they affected to treat their visitor's story as a dream.
The herd seemed to fill the horizon. Their numbers could not be counted. They were all driven by some common impulse of terror. In their head-long plunge, those in front pressed on by the innumerable throng behind, it was manifest that no ordinary obstacle would in the slightest degree retard their rush. The spectacle was sublime and terrible.
King's ears are part of the equipment for his exacting business, but he could not hear the door click shut again. For about five minutes, while the train swayed head-long into Indian darkness, the man stood listening and watching King's face. He stood so near that King recognized him for the one who had accosted him on Rawal-Pindi platform.
