I had already fallen and been broken; my pinions were trailing and blood-stained. There was yet time to save her. During our silence Weighborne opened the door and our interview was ended. It had lasted a few minutes, yet during their continuance I had been several times perilously near the brink.
"Why I saw him," came Grace's muffled voice from the floor of the car. "So did I," added Amy. "So you would recognize him again?" Mollie demanded eagerly, swerving the car perilously near the edge of the road. "Are you sure?" added Betty, taking her eyes from the far horizon and regarding Grace intently. Both girls nodded vigorously.
He had the throttle open wide, and the General was swaying perilously on the curves. Long moments passed while the engine seemed to travel on the outer wheels; then, as the track straightened, to come crashing down. Tom was becoming accustomed to the swaying, jerking floor of the cab.
The train which conveyed Mr. Harrison Smith back to London stopped at every intermediate station and did not arrive until after ten o'clock. He, therefore, was given leisure for thought and the result of his thinking was to bring him perilously near the truth.
Then, as we walked along the military road on the mountain-side, we saw below, on the top of the lemon gardens, long, thin poles laid from pillar to pillar, and we heard the two men talking and singing as they walked across perilously, placing the poles. In their clumsy zoccoli they strode easily across, though they had twenty or thirty feet to fall if they slipped.
It was indeed too early to hope for coffee, so they amused themselves by wandering up and down the stairs, throwing burning paper down the famous oubliette, and crossing perilously narrow ledges hand-in-hand. "So William was born in this horrid little room? I don't believe it!" "On le dit.

A glance at this, and at the many men of fore and aft, demonstrated that it was to be a perilously overloaded boat. "We want the sailors with us, at any rate they can row," said Simon Nishikanta. "But do we want you?" Grimshaw queried gloomily. "You take up too much room, for your size, and you're a beast anyway."
Over an execrable curry of stringy fowl and questionable rice, eked out with tea and tinned delicacies of their own, their chatter, at the beginning sufficiently gay and inconsequent, drifted by imperceptible and unsuspected gradations perilously close to the shoals of intimacy.
The first nurse had already had time to sicken and die; a second had been infected, and yet Ferriss "hung on," neither sinking nor improving, yet at every hour lying perilously near death. It was not often that death and life locked horns for so long, not often that the chance was so even.
