Silence, the silence of desertion, brooded over the masthead arcs. Painfully the Mexican searched, at the verge of the river, in the black shadows cast by the crowding material cars. Finally he crossed over to the straggling street of the camp, walking now and leading the spent mustang. Silence here, too, broken only by the sputtering sizzle of the electrics.
The minute we'd tetch off a blast 'n' the fuse'd begin to sizzle, he'd give a look as much as to say: 'Well, I'll have to git you to excuse me, an' it was surpris'n' the way he'd shin out of that hole 'n' go f'r a tree. Sagacity? It ain't no name for it. 'Twas inspiration!" I said, "Well, Mr. Baker, his prejudice against quartz-mining was remarkable, considering how he came by it.
"I'm on there," drawled the Kid; "I mind that bridge gang in the reader. Me, I go instructed for the other chap Spurious Somebody the one that fought and pulled his freight, to fight 'em on some other day." "Anyway," summed up Broncho, "Bob's about the gamest man I ever see along the Rio Bravo . Great Sam Houston! If she gets any hotter she'll sizzle!"
The girl had placed some large, round stones in the fire, heating them to a point that caused them to sizzle when a drop of water came in contact with them. Poking three of these heated stones from the fire Harriet rolled them in one of the gray army blankets. She did the same with other blankets; then, passing from one to another, watched closely for the odor of burning cloth.
He lighted a match and ignited the second pile of powder. "Stand back close to the wall shield your eyes," he called to us. He had dropped the burning mass on the red powder and in two or three leaps he joined us at the far end of the room. Almost instantly a dazzling, intense flame broke out. It seemed to sizzle and crackle.
He saw him frizzle and sizzle, he saw him come out crisp and brown, he saw the hungry and holy faqir pick the bones, and, finally, he saw King Karan, fat and jolly as ever, go down the mountain side with his hundredweight of gold! Then Bikru knew what to do! So the very next day he rose very early, and taking a carving-knife, he slashed himself all over.
Nevertheless, words are as heavy as stones, and after felling fancy to the ground, serve but to heap her grey coffin-lid, and cause one, as one stands contemplating the tomb, to laugh in sheer self-derision... .

"I'll stake my head the duke's ancestors were brigands or something equally appalling. A couple of poor, foolish American girls elevate them both to the position of money-spenders-in-chief though, I presume, and the newspapers will sizzle."
Then he mumbled some magic words, and the powders began to sizzle and burn and send out a cloud of violet smoke that floated across the river and completely enveloped both Trot and Cap'n Bill, as well as the toadstools on which they sat, and even the Magic Plant in the gold flower-pot. Then, after the smoke had disappeared into air, the Wizard called out to the prisoners: "Are you free?"
