I was as confident in my sureness as any saint in the mercy of God. He raised his bow, but it never reached his shoulder. My left arm shot out, and my last bullet went through his brain. He toppled forward and plunged into the pool. The grease from his body floated up, and made a scum on the surface. Then I broke off the arrow and pulled it out of my arm, putting the pieces in my pocket.
Zaidos, standing, closed his eyes. "Let those boys rest for five minutes," ordered the doctor. Nurse Helen gently pushed Zaidos down on a bench. He toppled over and she put a folded cloak under his head. Then for thirty happy minutes he lost consciousness of everything.
Suddenly then, with a grasp of the breath, she stopped, though the tears still toppled down. She had heard her name. "Sally " It was Janet. Before she could resist, before she could explain, two thin arms were clasped round her breast and a close, warm body was next to hers. "What is it, Sally little Sally? tell Janet tell Janet whisper "
"Yes, that was the river," the stranger went on, by this time pretty deep in the confidence and admiration of the boys. "They found the Chagres having everything its own way on the uplands, over to the north, there. It ambled along like a perfect lady in spots, then it twisted its water into whirling ropes which pulled at the banks and toppled cliffs into the current." "Freshets?" asked Jimmie.
It wasn't like hitting a man in the ring, it was like like poking a bag full of dirty linen. The whole fabric seemed to give way. He toppled back, turned a complete somersault and collapsed." I made no comment. I already knew that Lloyd hadn't been killed. The girl Marcia seemed stricken dumb for a moment and found her voice only when Jerry turned toward her again. "Jerry," she cried.
It was not a dignified rescue, but at least it was effective; Fidilini came to a halt. Constance, not expecting the sudden jolt, toppled over sidewise, and Tony, being equally unprepared to receive her, the two went down together rolling over and over on the grassy slope. 'My dear, are you hurt? Mr. Wilder, quite pale with anxiety, came scrambling to her side.
The statues of Shakespeare and Balzac seemed to frown from their pedestals as his fingers were running through Reginald's papers. He brushed against a semblance of Napoleon that was standing on the writing-table, so that it toppled over and made a noise that weirdly re-echoed in the silence of the room.
With unforgettable sincerity he replied, "No." The word flew again like a pebble from the sling. Down toppled all that had seemed ignoble or literary in his talk, down toppled tiresome R. L. S. and the "love of the earth" and his silk top-hat. In the presence of these women Leonard had arrived, and he spoke with a flow, an exultation, that he had seldom known.
Suddenly he burst into wild laughter; but equally as suddenly something strangled the sound in his throat. He reached out a hand gropingly, sagged, and toppled out of the chair to the floor, where he lay very still. The astonishing collapse of Spurlock created a tableau of short duration.
But ground-shocks like this last were another matter. A great tree, rearing above its fellows, toppled slowly. With ripping, tearing noises, it bent sedately toward the smoking, far-away mountain. It crashed thunderously down upon smaller trees. There were other rending noises. The flying things rose higher, seeming agitated. Echoes sounded in the ears of the two atop the hill.
