In hers he saw ambition triumph already excitement the gambler's love of all the hugest risks. Behind them burned genius and the devilry that would stop at nothing. As the general had told him in Peshawur, she would dare open Hell's gate and ride the devil down the Khyber for the fun of it. "Au diable, diable et demie!" the French say; and like most French proverbs it is a wise one.
We had not been seated many moments, and had scarcely pushed off the shore of silence into a new sea of talk, when we were interrupted by the invasion of half a dozen dogs. They were of all sorts down to no sort. Mr. Skymer called one of them Tadpole I suppose because he had the hugest tail, while his legs were not visible without being looked for.
But not beneath a graven stone, To plead for tears with alien eyes; A slender cross of wood alone Shall say, that here a maiden lies In peace beneath the peaceful skies. And gray old trees of hugest limb Shall wheel their circling shadows round To make the scorching sunlight dim That drinks the greenness from the ground, And drop their dead leaves on her mound.
Buildings came crashing, reeling, thundering down; walls fell, amid vast, belching clouds of dust and smoke; a white, consuming sheet of flame crackled across the sinister and evil place; and in its wake glowed incandescent ruins. Then, in one final burst of thunderous tumult, the hugest tank of all, exploding with a roar like that of Doom itself, hurled belching flames on high.
They took Balder's body and brought it to the sea-shore. There stood Balder's ship; it was called Ringhorn, and was the hugest of all ships. The gods wished to launch the ship and to burn Balder's body on it, but the ship would not stir. So they sent for a giantess called Hyrrockin. She came riding on a wolf and gave the ship such a push that fire flashed from the rollers and all the earth shook.
Where Satan's prostrate bulk is compared to that sea-beast Leviathan, which God of all his works Created hugest that swim the ocean-stream, the picture that follows of the Norse-pilot mooring his boat under the lee of the monster is completed in a line that attunes the mind once more to all the pathos and gloom of those infernal deeps: while night Invests the sea, and wished morn delays.
Then a leather-colored mountain of a back heaved itself up through the smother and a colossal form, that would make the hugest elephant a pigmy, came ponderously forth upon the beach. The body of this amazing being was thrice or four times the bulk of the mightiest elephant.
It was the swordfish and certainly one of immense size the hugest yet. "He's following the boat!" yelled Captain Dan, in great excitement. So I saw, but I could not speak or yell. All was intense excitement on that boat. I jumped up on the stern, holding the bait Captain Dan had put on my hook. Then I paused to look. We all looked, spellbound. That was a sight of a lifetime.
She went out into the forest and cast a magic spell upon the hugest bear in all the Northland the great Otso and he hastened from his Pohjola home and began to kill the flocks and herds in Kalevala. Otso = bear. Then Wainamoinen hastened to Ilmarinen, and bade him make a triple-pointed spear with which to kill Otso.
This he brought down with great force upon the hugest and ugliest head in all Central Provinces at that time. Merely a beginning. Six other lakris were drawn from five other tunics the extra one for Deenah. The great body was dragged farther back toward the servants' quarters. Here Deenah officiated.
