From the interior of the building resounded heavy thuds and the din of grinding as of machinery in perpetual motion which made the very foundations of the rocks quiver. On the bridge stood another armed man with whom the new arrivals exchanged watchwords and the same thing was done at the door of the stone building where the old man made the girl stop.
They rolled with heavy thuds down the brant sides of the fell down, down, down. But I kept closer, closer. Presently I heard the howl of the wolves " "No, Sim; not that, old friend."

There was a pulpit, too a square box reached by a five-step block near a clock with running weights, in a walnut case, whose thuds shook the whole church like the beatings of some huge heart concealed, it might be, under the stone flags.
Hollow thuds, quickening to a vibrant roar, swelled up from the temple in the courtyard below. The Brahmins were beating the great tom-tom before Kali's Shrine. It was the signal. It startlingly waked the dead city to discordant life.
At last she knew by the heavy thuds which her heart began to give, that the question was decided, that the very moment Deacon Graves sat down she would rise; whether she would say any thing or not would depend upon whether God gave her any thing to say but at least she could stand up for Jesus.
