Hans found himself in a desolate, rocky valley, without a trace of vegetation unless the forest of dead trees, which clothed the valley on every side, might be taken as vegetation. In the midst of the valley there sprang up a fountain of water, which sparked with such intense brilliancy that Hans was unable at first to look upon it.
Tom showed him the drawings and explained his plan for dodging underwater detection. He also related how Chow's remarks about the radio music had sparked the idea. His chum slapped him on the back. "Good going, Tom!" "Let's fly right over to Fearing and see how it works on a jetmarine!" Tom proposed enthusiastically. Bud grinned but made no move.
"Wal, it's beyond my calculatin'," the trapper said, out by the spring, where Neale followed him. "She jest changed thet's all. Not so much at first, though she sparked up after I give her your ring. I reckon it come little by little. An' one day, why, the cabin was full of sunshine! ... Since then I've seen how she's growed an' brightened. Workin', runnin' after me an' always watchin' fer you.
The Marids set them down before Mura'ash and said to him, "O King, these twain be they we found in the Valley of Springs." Thereupon he looked at them with wrathful eyes and sparked and snorted and shot sparks from his nostrils, so that all who stood by feared him. Then said he, "O dogs of mankind, ye have slain my son and lighted fire in my liver."
She made a move toward a fur lying across the back of a chair. He laid a hand upon her arm. "What's your rush? What are you dodgin' for, girl? I'm good as Susie to keep the goblins from gettin you." "Don't touch me." Her eyes sparked fire. "You're mighty high-heeled for a nitchie. I reckon you forget you're Sleeping Dawn, daughter of a Blackfoot squaw."
It was wrong, he knew, but then there was a certain flavor in this wrong; so, gingerly, he crossed the geranium-bed, took one web foot firmly between his teeth, and wondered at the thrill of life that sparked and snapped along his spine. Then Pete and Omar Ben tugged and tugged, till the clean geranium-bed was a comfortable, wholesome wreck. "Hully gee!" grinned Ringtail Pete.
Now in Clancey's George found a crumpled copy of the Evening Journal almost afloat on the high-tide of the dregs-drenched bar. It may have been the stimulation of his drink, but it was probably nothing more nor less than jealousy that sparked his sluggish imagination as he contemplated a two-column reproduction in coarse half-tone of a photograph entitled "Marian Blessington."
"The trap is already set!" Ned replied. The long delay at the house made high speed necessary during the remainder of the run to Peking. The machines sparked and roared through that ancient land, bringing sleepy-eyed natives to doors and windows, and setting villages into whirls of excitement. Captain Martin and one marine were with the boys, the rest having been left with the wounded men.
"Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of," Atmananda said, holding out the pills. "You'd be surprised how many people experience some form of neurosis or psychosis. I have a cousin who took anti-psychotic drugs for years. Now he flies F-14's for the military." The conflict sparked and it flickered and then disappeared. My mind became still. I reached for the pills.
"Well, then the rag sparked and spit fire till the train began to run, and then the train set light to the powder, and there was a big bom boom." "A big what?" we both cried. "A big bom boom," said Bigley. "Why, you didn't say anything about a big bom boom being there before," cried Bob. "I don't believe there is such a thing." "Now, how you do go on!" cried Bigley.
