About half-way they encountered Paterfamilias, hastening with Youth toward the barn, and to him Matron at once recapitulated the affair, concluding with mentioning the stipulated price. At this Pater turned, with thunderous brow, toward Youth; but Matron interposed, with womanly tact, "You can do jest as you like, you know, about lettin' him go; but Dave's in the barn." "Dave in my barn!
Indeed he was both grave and remote in his intercourse with his neighbors. He was like Ezekiel, a dreamer of dreams. He loved the Old Testament, particularly those books which consisted of thunderous prophecies and passionate lamentations. The poetry of Isaiah, The visions of The Apocalypse, formed his emotional outlet, his escape into the world of imaginative literature.
He said to himself, that he hated Margaret, but a wild, sharp sensation of love cleft his dull, thunderous feeling like lightning, even as he shaped the words expressive of hatred.
To Benjy's intense delight, a mass of many tons in weight was loosened by the fall of the smaller lump, and rolled down with a thunderous roar, causing Butterface, who was too near it, to jump out of the way with an amount of agility that threw the whole party into fits of laughter.

When this was concluded, a sigh, long and deep, was heard under the trees.
They ate enormously, and when they had finished they pronounced their ungodly grace a thunderous tattoo on the table edge, begun with palms and finished with elbows None-but-the-righteous-shall-be-SAVED! followed, while the cups and plates were still leaping and shuddering, with its secular second verse My-sister-Mary-walks-like-THIS!
Nearly every day it rained, and it rained in a hundred different ways from the thunderous shower-bath rush of water that threatened to beat the roof in, to the light spitting shower shone through by the sun.
There was much howling, and presently it went away with a vast mouthful of prisoners. Again, he saw a blue wave dash with such thunderous force against a gray obstruction that it seemed to clear the earth of it and leave nothing but trampled sod. And always in their swift and deadly rushes to and fro the men screamed and yelled like maniacs.
The air shook with thunderous applause, and a firm determination lighted up hundreds of faces, wrinkled and scarred from work and worry. And who would have dared oppose these men when animated by a single thought and a common purpose? Again and again enthusiastic shouts filled the room, and the speaker was assured that not a man present would fail to be on hand the next morning.
