The clock in the kitchen whirred and rang out the hour of twelve, and Hiram stopped in his walk to count the strokes.
On a point of marshy ground stood a line of cranes, motionless as soldiers on parade, until, taking fright as the great sail glided past, they whirred off, uttering discordant cries and with their legs sticking out like tail feathers. Slowly, and keeping to the middle of the channel, the boat came on.
"No, sir, nothing all day!" The telephone on the desk whirred. The Chief lifted the receiver. "Yes. Oh, it's you, Gordon? No, you can say it now: this is a private line." He listened at the receiver for a couple of minutes. The room was very still. "All right, come to the office at once!" The Chief hung up the receiver and turned to the Admiral. "She's given us the slip for the moment!" he said.
The surgeon, a bit inclined to show off, did not hesitate to "step on her," when the going was at all good. And any one familiar with the road from El Paso to Sanborn is aware of just how good even the best going is. Any one unfamiliar with that road is to be congratulated. Pete enjoyed the ride, as it brought him once more into the open country. The car whirred on and on.
There was even a barber shop, glittering inside and out with the neatness of newness, and complete, even to a manicuring table and a shoe-shining stand. The door of the shop was open; within, electric fans whirred in little blurs of rapid movement.
The great steel cable vibrated until it fairly hummed with the strain, the Chih' Yuen's winches bucked and kicked until Wong-lih, on the cruiser's bridge, momentarily expected them to break away altogether, and the white water foamed and roared under both vessels' quarters as the screws whirred round.
Seed and stone, blade and berry, hot blood and cold, did her bidding and slept or stirred at her ordinance. A nightjar harshly whirred beneath her footstool; wan tongues of flame rose and fell upon her quaking altars; a mountain fox, pattering quick-footed to the rabbit warren, caught light from those exhalations in his round, green eyes and barked.
Oh, I shall not, cannot, will not, miss my way to heaven if he gets there before me!" In utter abandonment she threw herself down in the long yellow sedge-grass, frightening a whole covey of gossiping young partridges and a couple of meek doves, all of which whirred away to an adjacent pea-field, leaving her with her face buried in her hands, and watched by trembling mute crickets and cicadæ.
The door had been slid back into position. There was no room for further argument. Very reluctantly Hilary followed his companions up the winding stairway. At the top of the stairs an entrance slide showed darker on the left. Wat fumbled for a moment until he found the button. The door whirred open, even as they heard Joan's clear voice below: "Come in, Magnificents!"
But there are other tunes in England besides that the arrow sings." Here he whirred the staff about his head by way of practice. "So make you ready for the tune I am about to play upon your ribs. Have at you! One, two " "Three!" roared the giant smiting at him instantly.
