So I decided to keep a sharp eye upon him as soon as he came out of prison, and to let him splash about in deep water as best he could till I saw whether he was able to swim, or was about to sink.
There was nothing to break the silence except the thin clear whistle of the white-throated sparrow far back in the woods. This is almost the only bird-song that one hears on the river, unless you count the metallic "chr-r-r-r" of the kingfisher as a song. Every now and then one of the salmon in the pool would lazily roll out of water, or spring high into the air and fall back with a heavy splash.
"I tell you there was a splash of red paint across the toe. Smith will bear me out in this. Smith, you saw the paint on this boot?" "Paint, sir!" "What! Do you mean to tell me that you did not see it?" "No, sir. There was no paint on this boot." "This is foolery. I saw it with my own eyes. It was a broad splash right across the toe." The headmaster interposed. "You must have made a mistake, Mr.
It was nearly eleven in the evening before I thought of returning; as I had walked some distance, I directed my steps toward a farmhouse, intending to ask for some milk and bread. Drops of rain began to splash at my feet, announcing a thunder-shower which I was anxious to escape.

Then with a joyous bark the dog sprang inside the tent, and snuggled close up to his two little play-mates. "Now I isn't afraid," said Sue, as she put her arms around the big shaggy neck of her pet. "Now I isn't afraid any more. Splash can sleep with us; can't he, Bunny?"
Do you know what Pablo Moreno is doin'? He's cuttin' brush already to feed his cattle. That old man is a wise hombre, all right, when it comes to weather. He's been hollerin' 'Año seco, año seco, for the last year, and now, by Joe, we've got it! They ain't hardly enough water in the river to make a splash, and here it's the first of June.
"Ah, ha, Jack Shark know what you going to do. Him know eberyting," said Sam Coal. Shortly after this the sun sank amid a bank of black clouds, and darkness came down on the world of waters, the weather again looking very threatening. I was awakened by a splash of water in my face. On sitting up, though a heavy sea was running, I found that the boat was still keeping on her course.
Every now and then in history there do come these terrible geniuses, like Wagner, who stir up all the wells of thought at once. For a moment it's splendid. Such a splash as never was. But afterwards such a lot of mud; and the wells as it were, they communicate with each other too easily now, and not one of them will run quite clear. That's what Wagner's done."
'An interesting old gentleman, who came to the wharf in an omnibus, has just quarrelled violently with the porters, and is staggering towards the vessel with a large trunk in his arms. I trust and hope that he may reach it in safety; but the board he has to cross is narrow and slippery. Was that a splash? Gracious powers! 'I have just returned from the deck.
