Our way now lay along the face of a steep incline of snow, which was cut by the fissure we had just passed, in a direction parallel to our route. On the heights to our right, loose ice-crags seemed to totter, and we passed two tracks over which the frozen blocks had rushed some short time previously.
"A sadly troubled country," he repeated. "All countries are troubled. We are no worse than others." "Perhaps not. But things are changing. The old order is changing. The spirit of unrest I shall not live to see it. You may, Annunciata. But the day is coming when all thrones will totter. Like this one." Now at last he had pierced her armor. "Like this one!" "That is what I said.
The captain had been saved as if by a miracle. Yet the consequences were by no means light, for when he, Pyramus, left him, he was barely able to totter from one chair to another. A journey on horseback, the physician said, would kill him, and a ride in a carriage over the rough roads would also endanger his life. Several months must pass ere he could think of returning home.
As it came nearer I could see houses totter for a moment, then rise and the next moment be crushed like egg shells against each other." To Rise Phoenix-like.

Now to this system nothing can be more fatal, than for the public measures not really to originate with administration, but with secret advisers who cannot be traced. This is to cut all the nerves of government, to loosen all the springs of liberty, to make the constitution totter to its lowest foundations. I say this, my lord, not to terrify your lordship.
Finally she had recourse to an article on the revenue in the paper, which soothed him, and she saw the old man totter off to bed with extreme uneasiness, yet not daring even to suggest a night light, so irritable did he seem. Before she slept she wrote a brief account of what had occurred to Mr. Newton, and implored him to come and remonstrate with his client.
It did not totter; it simply rose in its entirety, leaving the gaping hole into which, decades ago, it had been built. It rose straight into the sky, apparently of its own volition. No rays of light, no supernatural agencies could be seen or fancied. The utterly impossible was happening. A building was a-wing. Jeter and Eyer looked at each other with protruding eyes.
