The rifle-shot did not bring them, because it was nothing new for him to vent displeasure by shooting at folk; and if there were a corpse, and it had not fallen over the cliff or been kicked over, they would come and remove it when ordered, but certainly not sooner.
The news of the signing was received with cheers of enthusiasm by the Russian army, drawn up on the shores of the inland sea, the Preobrajensky, the famous regiment of Peter the Great, holding the post of honor. Scarce a rifle-shot distant, crowding in groups the crests of the neighboring hills, and deeply interested spectators of the scene, appeared numbers of their late opponents.
We rode hard for half an hour till we came within sight of Bruce's shack, which was set back into a little poplar bluff. "Hold up!" said The Duke. "Was that a shot?" We stood listening. A rifle-shot rang out, and we rode hard. Again The Duke halted us, and there came from the shack the sound of singing. It was an old Scotch tune. "The twenty-third Psalm," said Moore, in a low voice.
That's where they're going to try for it no wall to climb over there!" "You engineers, take your rifles and bayonet into anything that wears gray!"

There was not a single rifle-shot.
I had interfered with her plans in more ways than one, and I felt that she owed me a grudge that would grow to enormous proportions should any harm come to her brother. I was suddenly recalled to the affairs of the moment by hearing the screams of a woman, followed by a rifle-shot.

Some rock may have fallen along the river-bank, dislodged by the concussion." A sense of melancholy was in the air, gathering with the gathering darkness. The light was fading out of the west, and the early autumnal dusk was at hand.
"He's a keen Injun." "He's not very keen now," replied Brandt, with bitter certainty. "He's what the settlers call a good Indian, which is to say, dead!" Legget scowled at his lieutenant. "I'll go an' see," he replied and seized his rifle. He opened the door, when another rifle-shot rang out. A bullet whistled in the air, grazing the outlaw's shoulder, and imbedded itself in the heavy door-frame.

While the Indian bride was engaged in charging the firearms, a rifle-shot was heard to echo among the surrounding cliffs.
Away out in front of the regiment ran a little creek, skirting the hill on which the rebels were massed. In the field between the hill and the creek was one of our wagons, which had mired there and been abandoned by the driver in the stampede of the day before.
