Because anything of unprecedented design would seem to have been learned from the children, and the United States insisted truthfully that so far it had learned nothing from them. But nobody would believe it if a spate of astonishing technological improvements began to appear in the United States. Dislike of America rose to new heights anyhow.
There were many reasons for this: one of them being that the hands had to be at their work on the farm by five o'clock in the morning: another, that so they poached and let poach. Except when in spate, the river I specially refer to offered no attractions to the black-fishers.
Instead he sulked and plotted awful things quite beyond his powers to perform; and then finally the crash came six months after he'd glumped and glowered over his silly fancies. Spider went fishing one Saturday afternoon when the Dart was in spate and the weather fierce and wild.
He squeezed so hard that I thought my windpipe must burst, thought my eyes must leave their sockets. It was the grip of a gorilla, and it was accompanied by a spate of curses and the grin of a devil incarnate. All my dreams of equal combat had not prepared me for superhuman power on his part, such utter impotence on mine.
The hue of cafe-au-lait in full spate, it shifts at other times between apple-green and jade, between celadon and chrysolite and eau-de-Nil. In the weariness of summer the tints are prone to fade altogether out of the waves. They grow bleached, devitalized; they are spent, withering away like grass that has lain in the sun.
We arrived at five, the mules and baggage at six, and already dinner is almost cooked, our belongings in place, beds made, mosquito curtains up, and this day's journal done! ... Wish somebody would write this day's log for me I must fish! The burn in front is in grand spate, so is the Taiping river, roaring down discoloured.
Nampoung, after two hours on our little gees, two hours that seemed days! Hot and stuffy down in the glens in the din and roar of the Taiping in spate, climbing up for a thousand feet, a hundred yards on the level, twisting round corries such fascinating corries, stuffed with every sort of tropic growth, like the pictures one saw in stories of Jules Verne, but in such rich varied colouring!
"Ye seem to be a wondrous lot mixed up with the fortunes of that particular ship," said the Cornal sourly. "What way did it happen?" "She was in the mouth of the river," said Gilian, "and the spate of the river brought down the wooden bridge at Clonary. I saw it coming, and I cried to them, and Black Duncan cast off, leaving boat and tiller.
Events began to evolve themselves in rapid succession, as well as in magnified intensity, until, on one particular day, there came metaphorically speaking what is known among the Scottish hills as a spate. It began with the arrival of a mail from England.
Marks was not unconscious, but his stare was fixed. "Are you all right, sir?" the boy asked anxiously. The reply was unintelligible. Scotty bent over the scientist, too. "Are you all right, sir?" he repeated urgently. Marks' fixed stare never wavered. A spate of words poured from him, but they made no sense. Now and then a single word emerged clearly.
