Next he raised himself and sat upon his haunches like a great dog, and began to roar. Heavens! how he roared! I never heard anything like it before or since. He kept filling his lungs with air, and then emitting it in the most heart-shaking volumes of sound.
Hardwick demanded eagerly. On the instant, the big gates swung wide, the factory poured out a tide of people as though the building had been afire.
