But furious hundreds kept rushing in from every side, women and children caught in the tide were swept helplessly forward, came under the clubs and went down with the rest, and still the mass poured over them. Now at last the circle of bluecoats was broken, policemen alone and in small clusters were rushed and whirled this way and that.
"I'm almost moidered with it all," the old fellow cried helplessly, to which the superannuated gardener, who now came wheezing in, added, "Aye, we're both on us moidered." George glanced at the futile old couple, then cast his eye upwards, to the various stretches of the grand staircase which could be seen from the well below.
Boys, come back! You can't help them now," cried Grace in an agony of apprehension. "The fools! Why don't they run?" raged Joe Shafto, and the pet bear growled in sympathy with her at the unusual sounds. It was a terrifying moment for those who could do no more than stand helplessly watching.
For the fraction of a second Rose looked helplessly at Edmund, and then held out a little bunch of violets to Molly. "Won't you have these? There; they suit so well with your gown." With a quick and very gentle touch she put the violets into Molly's belt, and smiled at her with the sunshine that was all about them.
We do these things and die; we ride upon the air and water, we guide the lightning and we bridle the sea, we borrow the swiftness of the wind and the fine subtlety of the fire; we lord it in this universe of ours for a day, and then our bodies are devoured by these material slaves we have controlled, and helplessly mingle their dust with the elements that have obeyed our will, who reabsorb the garment of our soul when that has fled whither?

It appeared that he had been discovered, sitting helplessly upon the mountain side, by a chance and solitary traveller from Thibet. He had lost his way at the snow-bridge, and, in trying to retrace his steps, completely got off the only track existing, and had consequently wandered about among the wood and cover as long as his strength enabled him.
It was not often she met any one with the charming deference he showed her. Somehow he reminded her of her own Hans, who had died from the kick of a horse ten years since. Roy slept in broken cat-naps full of fearful dreams, from which he woke in terror under the impression that he was struggling helplessly in the net of a great spider which had the cruel, bloodless face of Tighe.
I shook her off, thinking her a beggar or something worse, and would have passed on my way had she not again struggled to detain me. I stopped, and was on the point of roughly ordering her to let me go, when I looked down into her veiled face and saw that it was Teresa Grossensteck. "Hugo!" she said. "Hugo!" I could only repeat her name and regard her helplessly. "Hugo," she said, "I am cold.
You must believe that Constans received the message and was able to get there in time. Believe it, because it is I who tell you." She did believe, but, being a woman, she hesitated again at the very brink of surrender. "Let me go," she said, in a low tone, and Piers Minor was so astonished that he immediately complied, and stood looking at her helplessly.
