I shuddered as I looked over, and Kona, who came behind me, also peeped down and cried: "See! It is the Great Gulf about which we have heard. Into this the Naya hurls her enemies." On the opposite side, about a quarter of a mile distant, gigantic overhanging crags rose from the valley to a height greater than the rock whereon we were kneeling.
At any rate, I had scarce come to a stand about three paces inside the door, when the little old gentleman bounces up in a fury, kicks over his chair, hurls the nearest bottles to right and left, and sends the silver saucepan spinning across the table to my very feet, where it scalded me clean through the boot, and made me hop for pain.
Claude Frollo would be a very different person if it were not for the church; and many of the main events, such as the ultimate tragic scene when Quasimodo hurls Frollo from the tower-top, could not happen in any other place. In Mr.
Kranitski, sitting on the garden bench, had grown rigid in the posture described above his mouth awry, his eyes gleaming. So this is what has happened! In a few weeks after the death of the hapless Cara he is active and triumphant; he hurls his lariat on the golden calf and captures new millions. A demi-god! A Titan! The king of markets!
Or when the country about a trail is covered with close tropical growth an enemy may hide close above the path and practically pick his man as he passes beneath him. He hurls or thrusts his spear, and almost always escapes with his own life, frequently bursting through a line of people on the trail, and instantly disappearing in the cover below.
Suddenly he bursts into loud laughter: "Oh, devils, devils! Do you think that I have two ears in order that you may lie in each one? Go down on your knees, rascal!" He hurls Khorre to the ground. "String him up with a rope! I would have crushed your venomous head myself but let them do it. Oh, devils, devils! String him up with a rope." Khorre whines harshly: "Me, Captain! I was your nurse, Noni."

But not in words does the Trojan hero frame his reply: for he hurls his javelin at the foe. As Lucagus spurred on his horses, bending forward over the whip, with left foot advanced ready for battle, the spear passes through the lower rim of his shining shield and pierces his left groin, knocks him out of the chariot, and stretches him in death on the fields.
Then he has a chat with Twyning, then mops himself dry, and then hurls in again. "'Now, sir, this holiday. This pleasant holiday by the sea! Did you make any preparations for it, any little purchases? "'No. Purchases? No. Look here "'Never mind about "Look here," sir. No purchases?
At all events, the buggy went over; and, scooped into the top, and dragged, and blinded, and stunned, I came to the ground. As I went down, I uttered the two words of all that are human, most solemn; perhaps, one may add, most automatic. Believer or sceptic, saint or sinner, mortal danger hurls them from us, as it wrests the soul from out our bodies.
