Elephants also, afflicted with arrows and lances, fell down here and there like broken clouds dropped from the skies. Elephant divisions, O monarch, slaughtered by high-souled warriors, dispersed in all directions like wind-tossed clouds.
The figure was that of a girl a girl with wind-tossed hair who, with head thrown back, stopped a moment and looked full into the sunset. It was Miss Ethel Cartright of New York, Giusippe's beautiful lady of Venice! The voyage from Liverpool to Boston was thoroughly interesting to Giusippe.
The little drab cottage had been white then and there was scarcely a day but what the passers-by saw the slender girl, in soft fluttering things that contrasted painfully with their dingy calico, the thick gleaming mass of hair that crowned her head wind-tossed into her eyes, standing with her face buried in an armful of crimson blossoms in the same garden where the weeds were now breast high, or running with mad, childish abandon between the high hedgerows.
I'm going to be an engineer and go out west and build railroads and bridges out where its wild! Aren't you glad?" Mr. Dennis and Mrs. Manning stared in astonishment at Jim's loquacity and at the glow of his face. His gray eyes were brilliant. His thick hair was wind-tossed across his forehead. Mr. Dennis, being Irish, understood.

From the top of her hatless, wind-tossed, brown-crowned head to the tips of the absurdly small boots tucked up beneath her, he scanned her slim body.

It lit the frowning cliffs, round which wind-tossed gulls wailed and breakers had thundered the beat of an ocean's pulse throughout the ages. The Destroyers were not sorry to see the dawn. The night was their task-master: in darkness they worked and in the Shadow of Death.

So far the young eyes unclosed as to see that they could see nothing unless the flame of a wind-tossed candle, then with a disapproving frown they closed again. 'But Miss Hazel? remonstrated Mrs. Saddler. 'Well? said Wych Hazel with closed eyes. 'Mr. Falkirk's dressed, ma'am. 'What is it to me if Mr. Falkirk chooses to get up over night?
