March whirled upon Enos with the revolver in his face, the drunkard flinched violently when not to have flinched would have saved both lives, and from the tree-trunk that Champion had struck a rifle puffed and cracked. March heard the spat of a bullet, and with a sudden horrid widening of the eyes Enos fell into his bosom. "Great God! Enos, your brother didn't mean to "
His discomfiture was, however, somewhat relieved by his companions, all of whom burst into a fit of laughter, in which Mr. Stafford heartily joined, forgetful of his promise to Fanny.

Leaving Madge to wash the few tin dishes and follow as she could with Little Stumps, he started on up the hill, pipe in mouth. He met several miners, but he puffed away like a tug-boat against the tide, and went on.
You understand that?" "I know it," snarled Ditty, through his puffed lips. "He done it." "You lying hound!" muttered Drew. Captain Hamilton ignored this.

Hawkins grasped his little wheel, puffed up his chest, and gave a tremendous twist.
An engine puffed and snorted into the station, leaving its pennant of white smoke in the air. Through the glass walls of the signal-box above the bridge Drake could see the men in a blaze of light working at the levers, and from the Surrey end there came to him a clink, and at that distance a quite musical clink, of truck against truck as some freight-train was shunted across the rails.
