He braced his arm for a push, intending to send Podds flying across the street. But suddenly there was a flash, as of lightning. Then a crash. Then the earth shook, cobble-stones, railroad tracks, anarchists, and soldiers, rose in the air, leaving a great chasm in crowd and street.

He felt the tight clasp relax, and the whole figure shudder.
