She thinks I ought to stay in the house always, the way she does. The Sinks is is queer. There are caves, and then again deep holes straight down, and tracks of wildcats and lions. And in some places you can hear gurgles and rumbles. I love to be there just at sundown, because the shadows are spooky and it makes you feel oh, you know kind of creepy up your back. You don't know what might happen.
But she may yet stop the train at the culvert bridge. A long shrill whistle sounds. It is the familiar signal of the Keystone Express. Regardless of the acute pain which every step causes her, the widow scrambles over the rocks. As she reaches the roadbed the express rumbles over the trestle. With a cry of despair she sinks to the ground.
Some rumbles of discontent were heard against Mr Borden's leadership, but the party as a whole rallied strongly to him, and his position both in the party and in the country grew increasingly firm. Through all the changes the prime minister grew in strength and prestige. Each year that passed gave proofs of his masterful leadership.
Thus we worked all that morning, Green with the brake, the whip, and his tongue; I with the lines, what strength I had and mother wit in lieu of experience. There were stretches of two hundred feet of granite, smooth and polished as a floor, where the horses repeatedly slipped and fell, and where the wheels brought forth hollow mocking rumbles.
By day, by night, they beat and breast in angry impotence against the ponderous wall of masonry that man has reared, for pleasure and profit, to stem the mountain stream. The Awful Rush of Waters. Suddenly, maddened by the stubborn hindrance, the river grows black and turgid. It rumbles and threatens as if confident of an access of strength that laughs at resistance.
The F.I.A.T. rumbles off, with the distinguished one's backward-glaring head poked out a yard more or less and that distinguished face so completely surrendered to mystification as to cause a large laugh on my part. "You are hungry?" It was the erstwhile-ferocious speaking. A criminal, I remembered, is somebody against whom everything he says and does is very cleverly made use of.
When Aaron Wickersham unlocked his private door and allowed his son and heir to go out, the clerks in the outer office knew by the young man's face, quite as well as by the rumbles of thunder which had come through the fast-closed door, that the "old man" had been giving the young one a piece of his mind.
Now rumbles along the carriage of some magnate of the city, peradventure an alderman or a sheriff, and now the patter of many feet announces it procession of charity scholars in uniforms of antique cut, and each with a prayer-book under his arm.
The thunder of bergs booms and rumbles through the foggy atmosphere. It is bad weather for exploring but delightful nevertheless, making all the strange, mysterious region yet stranger and more mysterious. June 28. A light rain. We were visited by two parties of Indians. A man from each canoe came ashore, leaving the women in the canoe to guard against the berg-waves.
Then there was Méhul's Irato, a curious and charming work which the Opéra took up afterwards. And there, too, they gave the last act of Rossini's Otello. The tempest in that act gave me the idea of the one which rumbles through the second act of Samson. When the hall was reconstructed, the stage was destroyed so that such performances are impossible.
