"Are you there, Shaik Tsin? I say! Are you there? Why don't you answer?" He paused: no sound for seconds that dragged like so many minutes, then of a sudden a deadened noise like the slam of a door heard afar or a pistol shot at some distance from the telephone in the study.
"Talk of the Old Man of the Sea!" she sighed. "He was an afternoon caller compared with Simpkins. She's been on my back for twenty years. I suppose she will be for another twenty, unless I slam the door of the family vault in her face." "Couldn't Beau help you?" I asked. "Even Beau is powerless against her.

Deeply wounded and astonished at this extraordinary outburst, Sylvia allowed him to stride away without a word. She saw him pass through the garden and slam the little gate, but she did not see the agony on his face, or the passionate gesture with which when out of eyeshot he lamented the voluntary abasement of himself before her. She thought over his conduct with growing fear.
B——'s garden door, just round the corner, was heard to open and slam, and craunch, craunch, came his stately pace upon the gravel. They stared with a humorous horror at one another. In an instant, Maud caught up a lawn-tennis racquet that was near, and smashed the next pane to atoms. Mr.

Holmes sat motionless by the fire, his hands buried deep in his trouser pockets, his chin sunk upon his breast, his eyes fixed upon the glowing embers.
He must have made pretty good travelling, because, before I had a foot in the hall, I heard the front door slam, and, when I reached the street, intent on calling him back, neither to the right nor to the left was there a sign of him to be seen. 'I wonder what that nice-looking beggar really means, and who he happens to be? That was what I said to myself when I returned to the laboratory.
And tell'im that in a week or two he'll 'ave the largest and nicest piece of wedding-cake he 'as ever 'ad in his life. So long! "'Good-bye, watchman, ses the gal. "They moved off without another word from them, I mean. I heard the wicket slam and then I 'eard a cab drive off over the stones. I couldn't believe it at first.

It will make trees bend to and fro, as if a wind was blowing through them; open doors suddenly, and shut them again with a slam; make the timbers of the floors and roofs creak, as they do in a ship at sea; or give men such frights as one of the dock-keepers at Liverpool got in the earthquake in 1863, when his watchbox rocked so, that he thought some one was going to pitch him over into the dock.
