And by the time he had finished with us we had all been through a cyclone in the Pacific. It was too much. The little beast could talk almost as well as he wrote. A fellow who can write like Tasker Jevons has no business to talk at all. Viola left soon after six. He had outstayed her. I went downstairs with her. When I came back to him he was still staring at the doorway she had passed through.
Already they had reared a town that dared approach in size to a city on the edge of the desert, but what had happened? An angry cyclone, hearing of it, had come along and snatched it into the clouds.
There had been a cyclone in the land of promised eternal sunshine. "Dodd" Weaver's bark lay upon its beam ends, and the jagged rocks of infidelity pierced its battered frame. You have seen such wrecks by the score, have you not, good friends? In the course of a few weeks "Dodd" secured a clerkship that was much to his mind.
Strange to say, the cyclone was out of the zone to which such storms are generally restricted, such zone being bounded by the thirtieth parallel of north latitude and the twenty-sixth parallel of south latitude. This may perhaps explain why the eddying storm suddenly turned into a straight one. But what a hurricane!
The Judge has been awaiting you." "Has he?" inquired Stephen, with ill-concealed anxiety. The big young German patted him on the shoulder. Suddenly a voice roared from out the open transom of the private office, like a cyclone through a gap. "Mr. Richter!" "Sir!" "Who is that?" "Mr. Brice, sir." "Then why in thunder doesn't he come in?"

"Have it so, only don't interrupt me.
Into this chasm the cloud quickly came down, condensed into a vast body of water, which fell, with the roar of a cyclone, into the dreadful abyss from which it had been torn, before the hissing walls of the great hollow had half filled it with their sweeping surges.
His intention was to strike the main path again at the crossing, where they had such a narrow escape from the cyclone; but he calculated that by nightfall they would be a considerable distance beyond, and he wished to test their watchfulness when left to themselves. So he came back to the trail about half way between that point and the creek which they had crossed by means of the canoe.
Crilly, and others were on their feet, shouting in accents hoarse with anger, inarticulate with rage. The Speaker was also on his feet, and, for a while, his shouts of "Order! Order!" failed to calm the sudden, fierce cyclone. Above the din, voices were shouting, "Name!
We haven't had a real bad storm since we came, and I dread the experience." At eight o'clock that evening it became apparent that they were in for a wild night. The wind had whipped around to the northeast and was blowing a gale. There was a persistent crash of breakers on the beach. To open a door or window was to admit a small cyclone of wind and sand and rain.
