But even as the lean head ranged beside her, the foam splattering on her bosom as she involuntarily covered her eyes with her hands, from out of Chaos came a cry: "Gracie, forgive !" Slowly she dropped her hands and stared incredulously. What was this wonder that had come to her in the moment of death? She tottered unsteadily, swaying to and fro like a wind-tossed leaf.
"On the 22d of June he sold his dog said 'Dern a dog, anyway, where you're just starting off on a rattling bully pleasure tramp through the summer woods and hills perfect nuisance chases the squirrels, barks at everything, goes a-capering and splattering around in the fords man can't get any chance to reflect and enjoy nature and I'd a blamed sight ruther carry the claim myself, it's a mighty sight safer; a dog's mighty uncertain in a financial way always noticed it well, GOOD-by, boys last call I'm off for Tennessee with a good leg and a gay heart, early in the morning."
But I had to put every ounce there was in my six feet of weary bones into lightning-change wrenches to hold the old canoe head on to the splattering seas and keep her from swamping.
There would be a splashing and splattering on the surface, a bright silver fish leaping and threshing the water, to land at last with a plop! in the boat. Whereupon the fisherman would hurriedly strike this dynamic, glistening fish over the head with a short, thick club, lest his struggles snarl the line, after which he would put out his spoon and bend to the oars again.
There is no second-hand bookshop in the world more worthy of respect. It was about six o'clock of a cold November evening, with gusts of rain splattering upon the pavement, when a young man proceeded uncertainly along Gissing Street, stopping now and then to look at shop windows as though doubtful of his way.
The bullet went through his eye and brow.... Think of it! "An amazement ... a blow ... a splattering of blood. Rags of tormented skin and brain stuff.... In a moment. What had taken eighteen years love and care...." He sat thinking for an interval, and then went on, "The reading and writing alone! I taught him to read myself because his first governess, you see, wasn't very clever.
A peculiar gurgling sound had come from the ends of the hose, and the flow depreciated greatly; instead of the steady gush of water, a slimy silt was coming out now, spraying and splattering about on the sides of the drainage ditch. Wildly Harry waved a monstrous paw. "Shut 'em off!" he yelled to Fairchild in the dimness of the tunnel. "It's sucking the muck out of the sump!" "Out of the what?"
"Maybe? Exploiter of whores, splattering their filth on canvas in your colors, your rebellion against this land where naïve belief in the goodness of the Chakri dynasty is supreme, belief that Taksin the Great after his wars with the Burmese had suddenly gone mad, that the bludgeoning of his body and the execution of his son in Cambodia had been done at orders other than that first Chakri, Rama I and that Rama IX did not arise by the assassination of his brother, the Eighth, belief that father, the abuser, knows best.
Sending the man reeling across the room, the blood squirting and splattering, he said: "Gentlemen, I came here with this boy, and whoever whips him has first got to walk my log, and that is what few people can do." The old "sycamore" from Tennessee looked to me at that precious moment as tall as a church steeple, and fully as large around.
Unless one scrutinized closely such unimportant details as features, ways of speech or manners, one could not place his man's former status, whether as lawyer, physician or roustabout.
