In it I recognized the ripple on the sands heralding the approach of another wave of speculation, which must roll shoreward in splendor and might, and, like its predecessors, must spend itself in thunderous ruin. I often think of what General Lattimore was accustomed to say about these matters, and how Josie echoed his words as to the evil of fortunes coming to those who never earned them.
There was a mildly thunderous bang outside, and the lifeboat reacted as if to a slight shock. The visionscreens showed a cloud of dust at the spaceboat's stern, roused by a deliberate explosion in the rocket tubes. It also showed the retainers in full flight. He waited until they were in safety and made the standard take-off preparations. A horrific roaring started up outside.

For the Obelisk was now plainly to be seen lurching forward at an angle of several degrees, . . strange muffled, roaring sounds were heard at its base, as though demons were digging up its foundations, . . then, seemingly shaken by underground tremors, it began to oscillate violently, a terrific explosion was heard as of the bursting of a giant bomb, and immediately afterward the majestic monolith toppled over and fell! with the crash of a colossal cannonade that sent its thunderous reverberations through and through the length and breadth of the city!
There was something which cast a long, lacy shadow. The landing-grid. "But they don't answer our call," observed Calhoun, "so we go down unwelcomed."

The noise of its rockets had become thunderous, with air to carry and to reinforce the sound.
She is going to be married." It would seem that he must have forgotten his previous half-suspicion of the fact. It would seem to have remained, as at the first hearing, a great and appalling shock, thunderous out of a blue sky. Below, in the open, his feet led him mechanically straight down under the trees, through the tangle of shrubbery beyond, and so to the wall under the cedar.
The sapper rushed him round a bend, and then crouched down. "Twenty seconds," he gasped, "an' me out of training. Lumme! wot a life."
