Thunder?" A long, low rumble made itself heard above the storm. It came again, and yet again. The gloom was lighted for a second by a sudden blaze. "What's that!" exclaimed Jim once more. Between the thunder-peals his ears had caught a single whip-like crack. A stunning crash followed a lurid glare, lighting up sky and sea. Again came the sharp detonation, but little louder than a fire-cracker.

'Begin, said he, after a pause, 'begin, "This splendid pack had a stunning run." 'But we must put what pack first, observed Sponge, writing the words 'Mr. Puffington's hounds' at the top of the paper. 'Well, said he, writing on, 'this stunning pack had a splendid run.

It being a part of Mrs Pipchin's system not to encourage a child's mind to develop and expand itself like a young flower, but to open it by force like an oyster, the moral of these lessons was usually of a violent and stunning character: the hero a naughty boy seldom, in the mildest catastrophe, being finished off anything less than a lion, or a bear.
