The guns advanced at a gallop in the face of a terrific fire, were unlimbered, and were soon hurling common shell and shrapnel at the enemy at a lively rate, striking the emplacements, batteries, and entrenchments with the rhythmic regularity of a triphammer. The enemy soon abandoned one gun, but continued to serve the other at intervals for over an hour.
Carder, poor dumb automaton, volunteered a remark; and the most silver-tongued orator could not have better pleased Geraldine with eloquence. "Used to be quite a lot grow down in the medder," she said. Geraldine's heart beat like a little triphammer, but she did not look up from her plate, nor change her listless expression. "I'd like to go and see if there are any," she said. "I love them.
Through woods, and around hills, and into dense, almost impenetrable thickets he labored on, his side aching, and his heart thumping like a triphammer. At last he came out upon the Kingston road and was down on his knees, examining minutely every mark in the dusty road, trying to determine whether Tom had passed. Then he sat down by the roadside and waited, panting like a dog.
Ain't 'e, Old Un?" "Like a perishin' triphammer!" nodded the Old Un. "Likewise, sir, you've a wonderful judgment o' distance but, sir, you need experience!" "That's what I'm after, Joe." "And you take too many chances; you ain't larned caution yet." "That you must teach me, Joe." "Which I surely will, sir. In the next round, subject to no objection, I propose to knock ye down, sir."
His eyes were blazing, and he was evidently angry at her to the last degree angrier even than he had been that time in the city when he nearly threw the telephone at her. "Is this the sort of person you are?" he demanded furiously. "Look at this telegram!" Marjorie, frightened, rose from the couch with her heart beating like a triphammer. "Let me see," she asked.
A great brain and a huge organization have been turned to the extinction of one man. It is crushing the nut with the triphammer an absurd extravagance of energy but the nut is very effectually crushed all the same." "How came this man to have anything to do with it?" "I can only say that the first word that ever came to us of the business was from one of his lieutenants.
She had lifted her gaze to meet his, quite sure that her answer was not in doubt, but now her heart was beating like a triphammer. She felt herself drifting from her moorings. It was as though she were drowning forty fathoms deep in those calm, unwinking eyes of his. "I don't think so," she cried desperately. "You've got to be sure. I don't want you else." "Yes yes!" she cried eagerly.
I will try to be a good wife to you." She clung to the telephone, her heart beating like a triphammer there in the dark, waiting for his answer. It seemed a long time in coming. When it did, it was furious. "I don't want you to go with me anywhere, at any time. I don't want a wife who has to try to be a good wife to me." He hung up with an effect of flinging the receiver in her face.
The last crack of a triphammer, peckering at a giant pile of iron down the block, dies out on the dead air. A taxicab, rrrrr-ing in the street below, grunts its horn. A newsboy, in neuralgic yowl, bawls out a sporting extra. Another "L" train and the panes rattle again. A momentary quiet ... and from somewhere in a nearby street I hear a grind-organ. What is the tune it is playing?
"Come on, Koku, we'll go see what it all means." "Koku work hammer, maybe?" asked the giant hope fully. "Well, I'll see," half promised Tom. "If it's going to get out of gear all the while it might pay me to keep you at it so you could get it back in place whenever it kicked up a fuss, and so save time. I'll see about it." Koku led the way to the shop where the triphammer was installed.
