"For the land sakes!" snapped Bailey Bangs, who was a trifle envious of his friend's position in the center of the stage, "stop them 'nothin's' and 'somethin's, won't you? You keep whirlin' 'em round and over and over till my head's FULL of 'nothin', and " "That's what it's full of most of the time," interrupted Asaph tartly. Captain Cy hastened to act as peacemaker.
Bruce turned sick when he heard the crackling of the burning motors and saw the electric flames. "Somethin's happened in the power-house! I can't ring him! He must have got a shock! Until I know what's wrong, I don't dare shut down for fear I'll burn everything out up there!" "Keep her going!" Bruce bounded through the door and dropped from the platform.
"Another trick, Anderson," replied Dorn. "Some I.W.W. has stuffed a handful of matches into a wheat-sheaf. Or maybe a small bomb!" "Ah-huh!... Come on, let's go over an' see my money burn up.... Kurt, I'm gettin' some new education these days." Dorn appeared to be unable to restrain himself. He hurried on ahead of the others. And Anderson whispered to Lenore, "I'll bet somethin's comin' off!"
And then, as if Fate was not making it hard enough for the tunnel contractors, they encountered more trouble. It was after Tom had set off a big blast that Tim Sullivan, after inspecting what had happened, came out to ask. "I soy, Mr. Swift, why didn't yez use more powder?" "More powder!" cried Tom.

The chimbly ain't afire?" "No," said Tira. "Mebbe somethin's ketched." She got out of bed, ran into the sitting-room, noiselessly shut the crack of draught, and came back. "Them knots are kinder gummy," she said calmly, and was heartened by the evenness of her voice. "I guess 'twon't roar long."
Her face was long and thin, and, as Jack expressed it, she looked as if she hadn't a friend in the world. Her voice harmonized with her mournful expression, and was equally doleful. "I wonder why Jack don't come home?" said Mrs. Harding, looking at the clock. "He's generally here at this time." "Perhaps somethin's happened," suggested her sister-in-law. "What do you mean, Rachel?"
The quality, the note of Ambrose's whisper had changed. It had a slight sibilant sound. "Don't be mad if sudden-like I clap my hands over your eyes, Miss Hammond," he was saying. "Somethin's brewin' below. I never seen Gene so cool. That's a dangerous sign in him. And look, see how the boys are workin' together! Oh, it's slow and accident-like, but I know it's sure not accident.
A moment he watched the approaching figure, then, over his shoulder, he said to the girls, "Look at that fellow ride. There's something doin', sure." As he spoke he turned the machine well out of the road. A moment later he added, "It's Curly Elson from the Cross-Triangle. Somethin's happened in the valley."
Finally Dick spoke: "'Tis what I was fearin'. 'Tis some o' Micmac John's work. Now where be Bob? Somethin's been happenin' t' th' lad. Micmac John's been doin' somethin' wi' un, an' we must find un." "We must find un an' run that devil Injun down," exclaimed Ed, reaching for his adikey. "We mustn't be losin' time about un, neither." "'Twill be no use goin' now," said Dick, with better judgment.
Old Zemple told Mr. Miller about leavin' the wheel out of the clock, and Mr. Miller said, "How do you explain it, Abe? You leave a big wheel out of a clock and it runs; and you leave a little pin out of a watch and it won't run? Somethin's wrong. Look into it, Abe.
