We are going into the open water! Back all of you!" They leaped back, fairly tumbling over each other in their efforts to escape the water, which crept up to their feet without warning. As they pushed themselves back they naturally sent the Fiver flying forward, and an instant later they heard a crashing of ice and saw the ice-boat topple over into the water and disappear from view!
With the means your Constitution gives you? Why, that Constitution is crumbling on all sides, and even if I did not topple it over, it could not last eight days." "Ah!" cried Moulins, "at last you avow your hostile intentions." "My intentions are not hostile!" shouted Bonaparte, striking the floor with the heel of his boot. "The Republic is in peril; it must be saved, and I shall do it."
Uncle Tad was so surprised for a moment that he sat still. But not so Dix. He had awakened in a second, and with a loud bark sprang overboard to the rescue of the little girl. "Oh my!" cried Bunny Brown, as he saw his sister topple out of the boat into the lake. "Oh, dear!" By this time Uncle Tad, the old soldier, was ready for action.
Take care, my lad," to the post-boy, who was crossing with difficulty the literally "pathless waste." "Don't lurch us into the quarry-pits, or topple us at once down the slope, where we shall roll over and over facilis descensus Averni and lodge in Mrs. Tod's garden hedge." "Mrs. Tod would feel flattered if she knew Latin. You don't look upon our future habitation as a sort of Avernus?"
The old sealer, however, is not surprised at their indifference, guessing its cause. He knows that in the weird forests of Tierra del Fuego there is many a tree standing, to all appearance sound in trunk, branches, everything, yet rotten from bark to heartwood, and ready to topple over at the slightest touch, even if but a gun be rested against it.
And unless all your foldings of the great-coat, from first to last, have, been deftly precise, no pyramid will reward you, but a flabby trapezium: the belt will sag, its buttons won't come centrally, and indeed the whole edifice of unwieldy cloth will topple off its perch on the narrow shelf which was designed to refuse all lodgment for the property of persons who had unsound ideas on the subject of compact storage.
What immense structures have been founded on these shifting sands, on this morass of ignorance and childish fable? How long can these structures endure, aided by the bolstering up of the theologists, and how long must it be before the light of reason will pierce these foundations of blindness and force them to topple over? How much longer before humanity can begin to build on a sound foundation?
"Sit there, Peter, and mind you don't topple overboard, my son," he said, in the kind tone in which he always spoke to me and Jack. I was too small to be of much use, indeed father had hitherto only taken me with him when he was merely going across to Gosport and back or plying about the harbour. It was a more eventful day to Jack than to me.
"We'll go and ask," said Rock, and they ran pell-mell into the house. "What is the matter?" said Mr. Brisk, starting up lest something were wrong. "We are only going to ask Mrs. Brisk if we may have the kittens," they cried, breathlessly. Mrs. Brisk was standing in the hall, and heard their story. "Well! Well! Well!" she said. "If old Topple hasn't another lot of kittens. Have them?
I'd ha' walked ten miles to see em " "Gracious, Sir John, what's that you are talking about?" interrupted Bywater, as the choristers trooped up, "Escaped you! so we have, for once. What an agony of disappointment it must be for you, Mr. Calcraft! Such practice for your old hands, to topple off a dozen or so of us! Besides the pay! How much do you charge a head, Calcraft?"
