Nature has her own building laws about fortunes. When they get too sky-scrapy she topples them over. These people with their thrifty habits would have all the money in time if their sons and daughters didn't marry aristocrats with expensive tastes who know how to be spenders. Nature keeps things fairly even, one way or another." "You're thinkin' about Kitty and the duke."
The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale, Sometime for three-foot stool mistaketh me; Then slip I from her, and down topples she." And again: "Sometime a horse I'll be, sometime a hound, A hog, a headless bear, sometime a fire; And neigh, and bark, and grunt, and roar, and burn, Like horse, hound, hog, bear, fire, at every turn."
Presently two similar explosions, evidently right close to us, followed by rumbling echoes, and over topples a huge mass weighing tons, which sinks so far that several seconds elapse before it rises to the surface, swaying to and fro until it finds its equilibrium, and then floats down the current, one more turquoise gem added to the chain which precedes it.
Portsmouth is rich in graveyards they seem to be a New England specialty ancient and modern. Among the old burial-places the one attached to St. John's Church is perhaps the most interesting. It has not been permitted to fall into ruin, like the old cemetery at the Point of Graves. When a headstone here topples over it is kindly lifted up and set on its pins again, and encouraged to do its duty.
We hasten forward to pick it up, when, with a last desperate flutter, it topples off the edge of the roof; but instead of falling helplessly to the street, the bird swings out above the house-tops, on the white-barred pinions of a nighthawk. Now mark the place where first we observed the bird, and approach it carefully, crawling on hands and knees.
His skin was white. There were beads of sweat on his forehead. "We're safe here, aren't we?" she asked, scared. "I think so. But I'm not going to take you through falling trees while this is going on! There's another tree down! I'm worrying about the ship! If it topples ."
The little boys begin to shoot and stab, A kingdom topples over with a shriek Like an old woman, and down rolls the world In mock-heroics Revolts, republics, revolutions, most No graver than a schoolboy's barring out; Too comic for the solemn things they are, Too solemn for the comic touches in them."
If he does, he's got more imagination than he ever showed in his books." "You must get to the other side in some way," said Mrs. Corwin. "It is at Venice that the trouble with Balderstone is to come, and that Osborne topples him over into the Grand Canal, and rescues you from his baleful influence." "Humph!" said Marguerite, with a scornful shrug of her shoulders. "Robert Osborne!
With a woman's intuition, Josephine saw the end power grows until it topples. She pleaded, begged it was of no avail the tide swept her with it, but whither, whither? she kept asking. Meantime Hortense had been married to Louis, brother of Napoleon. In due time Napoleon found himself a grandfather. He both liked it and didn't.
This receding undercurrent you can feel it very strongly if you are swimming just in front of a large wave about to break digs in beneath the advancing hill of water. It cuts away the foundations of that hill, which naturally topples over at the crest. The wave of water leans and hangs for a delaying instant.
