Now they see his body droop a little to one side now it touches the tree there is heard a loud crack, followed by a confused crashing of branches and the huge dark body of the elephant sinks upon its side. At the same instant a terrible scream drowns all other sounds, causing the forest to echo, and the very leaves to quake.
I should, after all, have shared the same fate, had not Mr Johnson at that instant recovered himself, and with a shout, loud enough to make our enemies quake, up he sprang, and, with one whirl of his cutlass, drove the Frenchmen from the side. Over the bulwarks he leaped; I and most of the men from the two boats followed.
Pike looked at the bottle with an eye which for a moment made Kitty quake, for Dan had brought it in with the fine crust of dirt and grease on it that it had accumulated during a long sojourn in the coach-house. But something, perhaps it was Dan's thoughtfulness, checked the severe remark which had almost burst from her lips. "Thank you, Daniel," she said, almost graciously.
With them, and with the head of the House of Russell, incomparably more illustrious in my eyes, I watched over its cradle I marked its growth I rejoiced in its strength I witnessed its maturity; I have been spared to see it ascend the very height of supreme power; directing the councils of state; accelerating every great improvement; uniting itself with every good work; propping all useful institutions; extirpating abuses in all our institutions; passing the bounds of our European dominion, and in the New World, as in the Old, proclaiming that freedom is the birthright of man that distinction of colour gives no title to oppression that the chains now loosened must be struck off, and even the marks they have left effaced proclaiming this by the same eternal law of our nature which makes nations the masters of their own destiny, and which in Europe has caused every tyrant's throne to quake!
She was no more no more! the maiden who lived with no other thought than to love and be loved by him; his wife in all the storm and stress of his troubled life his true heartsease! Out of the desolation he perceived a thing that was formless, that was invisible but that was appalling silence. Silence that made him shrink and quake he that had loved, had longed for silence!
"But there's many an one, Meg, as doesn't mean a bit of harm, and does a deal for all that. I'm feared for Bessy." "But I can't see what you're feared for." "These be times for fear," said Alice Mount. "Neighbour, have you forgot last August?" "Eh! no, trust me!" cried Margaret. "Didn't I quake for fear, when my master came in, and told me you were taken afore the justices!
Now suppose you take Eleanore up to the mountains and write your strike article up there. Let me loan you a little just at the start." "How much money have you in the bank?" "Enough to send Eleanore where she belongs." "Eleanore belongs right here," said a voice from the other room, and presently Eleanore appeared. She surveyed us both with a scorn in her eyes that made us quake a little.
You are not MOOR. You are miserable thieves! wretched tools of my great designs! despicable as the rope in the hand of the hangman! No! no! Thieves do not fall like heroes. Life must be the hope of thieves, for something fearful has to follow. Thieves may well be allowed to quake at the fear of death. Hark! Do you hear their horns echoing through the forest?
"I!" exclaimed Henry the Eighth, in a powerful tone. "I dare do it. I say that they are heretics, and that I will destroy them, will tread them all beneath my feet, all of them, all who think as they do! I say that I will shed the blood of these criminals, and prepare for them torments at which human nature will shudder and quake. God will manifest Himself by me in fire and blood!
If another quake comes it'll let me drop; and perhaps the ground may be a full dozen feet below." By this time Frank had reached the edge of the drop. He remembered skirting it in climbing upward just a minute before; but had been more successful about doing so than Bob, who was less accustomed to this kind of work. Frank again had recourse to his handy match-safe.
