What a fascinating field of study lies in watching the play of its organism. It owns a pulse and arteries, it has spasms, and I side with the scholarly Commander Maury, who discovered that it has a circulation as real as the circulation of blood in animals."
At length my father died. Life went from him almost imperceptibly. I hung over him in mute affliction, and watched the expiring spasms of nature. His last faltering accents whispered repeatedly a blessing on me alas! how has it been fulfilled!
The waters shook with the movements of the man-eater, which thrashed about with indescribable fury. Ned Land hadn't missed his target. This was the monster's death rattle. Pierced to the heart, it was struggling with dreadful spasms whose aftershocks knocked Conseil off his feet. Meanwhile Ned Land pulled the captain clear.
It will be a great comfort if it can be managed. MRS. H. I wanted to speak to you, Cissy. C. I thought so! MRS. H. What do you think of your mother? C. Poor old darling. They have been worrying her till she has got hipped and nervous about herself. MRS. H. Do you know what spasms she has been having?
Each one wanted to pick a bouquet for his mother, and Toddie took the precaution to smell every flower he approached an operation which caused him to get his nose covered with lily-pollen, so that he looked like a badly used prize-fighter. In one of their spasms of inaction, Budge asked: "What makes some of the men in church have no hair on the tops of their heads, Uncle Harry?"
The dry-goodsman's life behind his counter is a succession of sudden, snappy perceptions and brief series of coordinate spasms; as thus: "Purple calico, three quarters wide, six yards."
In the larynx was found one of those worms occasionally inhabiting the cavities of the nose, and which had probably escaped from the nose while the dog had been hunting; and, lodging in the larynx, had destroyed the animal by producing spasms of the larynx. The worm was about one inch and a half in length, and had partly penetrated through the rima glottidis.
There can be spasms of similar excitement in London, in the neighbourhood of Capel Court, but we have nothing that compares so closely with this crowd as Tattersall's Ring at Epsom just before the Derby. It was a relief to resume my programme by entering that abode of the dumb and detached the aquarium in Battery Park.
Rocky Point meant a new supply of food and oil. Stimulated by this thought, Charley cranked heroically under the blistering sun and managed to arouse the engine now and then into spasms of speed. He had not yet begun to swear. Fearfully I awaited the first evidence of the new mood, which I knew must come. At least once a day we put the machinery on the operating table.
Caligula had thrown himself upon the bed and was writhing there like a mad beast, biting the coverlets, beating with clenched fists against the woodwork, while foam dripped from the corners of his mouth. "Tell me more tell me " he bellowed at last, during an interval between two of these maniacal spasms.
