Bobbsey, when quiet had come again, and only the rolling of the train and an occasional shrill whistle broke in on the continuous rumble of the day's journey. "Yes, Dinah can watch the things and we can look through the other cars," agreed Mr. Bobbsey. "We might find someone we know going down to the shore."
It was hard to guess then they might have such another rumble, and Harold had much to say to the girl at his side; and yet, for the life of him, he could not utter the words that were trembling on his lips. "I don't believe you care much for shooting, Mr. Hayes." A rabbit loped slowly across die road not twenty yards from the gun, but Harold had not noticed it.
The golden sunlight, the azure sky, the rumble of the city, the foliage of the thick linden trees and the chestnuts, the bells of the horse trams, the dry smell of the hot, dusty street all this at once burst into the tiny garret room. Lichonin walked up to Liubka and amicably patted her on the shoulder. "Never mind, my joy ... What's done can't be undone, but it's a lesson for the future.
He had not gone half an hour before one of his headmen came racing up to where he led his force in majesty. "Lord," said he, "do you hear no sound?" "I hear the thunder," said Ogibo.

"It seems to me that a drive through Paris would be very enjoyable to-night."

She looked after him, and he winked over his shoulder to her; but she was prevented from returning his salute by her companion, who uttered a loud cry, between a groan and shriek, and fell down on the floor with a rumble like a wall that had suddenly been undermined.
"Let us count the money together, Sandy." Dishevelled dark head and smooth bright one bent close in the dimming light. There was a far-distant rumble of thunder, but neither heeded it; showers were almost daily occurrences, and excitement and concentration ran high.
The end of the story is not come, but it may be that some day when the Fairy Godmother has a message to deliver in person straight to the King, he will say: "Your face I know; your voice, your thoughts, and your heart. I have heard the rumble of your chariot wheels on the great Highway, and I knew that you were on the King's business.
It was evident now that the night was going to be wild. The lightning grew brighter and came nearer, cutting fiercely across the southern sky.

Colonel Winchester, Pennington and Warner had gone to sleep, but Dick was wakeful.
Then for the first time we turned and stared one another in the face. The fly and its contents had finally disappeared through the gate: the rumble of its wheels had died away; and no flag floated defiantly in the sun, no cannons proclaimed the passing of a dynasty. From out the frosted cake of our existence Fate had cut an irreplaceable segment; turn which way we would, the void was present.
