"It's timed by an ingenious and noiseless little piece of clockwork, in there, too. And it's powerful enough to blow us all, the laboratory included, to kingdom come."

The two last humans in the world could even catch the flick of ivory fangs, the lolling wet redness of tongues could hear the soughing breath through those infernal jaws. Stern raised the rifle again, then lowered it. "No use," said he quite calmly.
We have not to suppose that there was any miracle wrought by agency celestial or infernal in the sudden disclosure of his idea to Rousseau.
