"And I'm afraid you mustn't send him to prison this time. I told him if he would empty his pockets he might go. That still holds good," she added, looking towards Brady, who flashed her a quick look of gratitude from beneath his heavy brows and proceeded to turn out the contents of his pockets with commendable celerity. But the keeper protested against the idea of releasing his prisoner.
Hal was unable to tell just what caused the great crash as, after releasing his hold on the window in the cellar of the house to which he had followed Duval he went down into space. His feet struck a projection of some kind, and the crash followed. The lad struck the floor in a heap. Although he felt sure that the crash must have aroused everyone in the house, he lay perfectly still, listening.
Releasing their two prisoners, who leaped away like startled deer, they plunged down the steep path into the steaming jungle. Joan, still shocked by what she had seen, walked on in front of Sheldon, subdued and silent. At the end of half an hour she turned to him with a wan smile and said, "I don't think I care to visit the head-hunters any more.
"If you trust me for the greater you can trust me for the less. Good-night." Vanderbank had offered his hand. "Good-night." But Mr. Longdon kept him a moment. "You DON'T care for my figure?"

The sound of the explosion of the engine had no less startled the guard below than the spectators above.

Max had fixed the rope so that by releasing one end it would allow the boat to drop down the stream with the swift current.
This fellow is a base villain!" And, releasing the arm which Castor was desperately but vainly trying to free from his clutch, he snatched off the false beard. Agatha, who had also been endeavoring to escape from his grasp, gave a shriek of terror and indignation.
Roseline murmured, pensively: "The men say that a certain amount of preliminary experience in love is indispensable ... to them." My whole soul revolted. Releasing myself from the girl's embrace, I sprang to my feet and faced her: "But, Rose, isn't it the same with us?
As if moved by clockwork one of the lictors approached the girl and removed the unbecoming hat from her head, releasing a living stream of gold which, as it rippled over the girl's shoulders, roused a quick cry of admiration in the crowd. In a moment Menecreta realised that her last hope must yield to the inevitable now.
