"I saw him I'll be sworn to his face I saw him, a year back, at Douai, helping at the mass! I never forget faces." "Why, what nonsense!" cried I, and burst out laughing. "Don't mock at me, sir!" he thunder'd, bringing down his fist on the table. "I tell you the boy is a Papist!" He pointed furiously at Delia, who, now laughing also, answer'd him very demurely "Indeed, sir " "I saw you, I say."
It made me think of Tennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade." Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them, Volley'd and thunder'd. The guns and cannons kept up such a continual firing that the ground actually shook under our feet.
What though, when thou wert lowly laid, Instead of all the pomp of woe, The volley o'er thy bloody bed Was thunder'd by an envious foe: Inspired by it in after time, A race of heroes will appear, The glory of Britannia's clime, To emulate thy bright career.
Or take that great scene in Marmion, where the spectral summons is pealed from Edinburgh Cross: "Then thunder'd forth a roll of names; The first was thine, unhappy James! Then all thy nobles came; Crawford, Glencairn, Montrose, Argyle, Ross, Bothwell, Forbes, Lennox, Lyle, Each chief of birth and fame."
V. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell, They that had fought so well Came thro' the jaws of Death Back from the mouth of Hell, All that was left of them, Left of six hundred. VI. When can their glory fade? O the wild charge they made! All the world wonder'd. Honor the charge they made!
"That Moses never mention'd ye I've wonder'd, While other things describin'; My conscience! how ye must have foam'd and thunder'd When the deluge was subsidin'! "My thoughts are strange, magnificent, and deep, When I look down on thee; Oh, what a glorious place for washing sheep Niagara would be!
Any way, he pull'd up short midway on the slope, scratched his head, and thunder'd "What a good lass!" Joan, some paces ahead, turn'd at this and smil'd: whereat, having no idea he'd spoken above a whisper, Billy blush'd red as any peony. 'Twas but a short half hour when, the mare being saddled and Billy fed, we took our leave of Joan.
In the meantime, the child seem'd hardly to know what to do with himself. His tongue cleav'd to the roof of his mouth. Either he was very much frighten'd, or he was actually unwell. "Speak, I say!" again thunder'd Lugare; and his hand, grasping his ratan, tower'd above his head in a very significant manner. "I hardly can, sir," said the poor fellow faintly. His voice was husky and thick.
Long, and at vast Expence, th'industrious Stage Has strove to please a dull ungrateful Age: With Heroes and with Gods we first began, And thunder'd to you in heroick Strain: Some dying Love-sick Queen each Night you injoy'd, And with Magnificence at last were cloy'd: Our Drums and Trumpets frighted all the Women; Our Fighting scar'd the Beaux and Billet-Doux Men.
Roll Jordan, roll Jordan, roll Jordan, roll, Roll Jordan, roll!" They both paused to listen as the refrain was again and again repeated. "There's nigger for you," broke out Jim, "what'n thunder'd they mean by such gibberish as that?" The Captain laughed. "Come, Given, don't quarrel with what's above your comprehension.
