He drew back and stared stupidly at that sprawling flesh which just now had been a man, and was seized with uncontrollable shuddering. HE DREW BACK AND STARED STUPIDLY AT THAT SPRAWLING FLESH WHICH JUST NOW HAD BEEN A MAN AND WAS SEIZED WITH UNCONTROLLABLE SHUDDERING
she wailed; "oh, Billy, _Billy_!" * * * * * He came to her--just as he would have scaled Heaven to come to her, just as he would have come to her in the nethermost pit of Hell if she had called. Ah, yes, Billy Woods came to her now in her peril, and I don't think that Mr. Flinks particularly relished the look upon Billy's face as he ran through the gardens, for Billy was furiously moved. Cock-eye Flinks glanced back at the wall behind him. Ten feet high, and the fellow ain't far off. Cock-eye Flinks caught up his staff, and as Billy closed upon him, struck him full on the head. Again and again he struck him. It was a sickening business. Billy had stopped short. For an instant he stood swaying on his feet, a puzzled face showing under the trickling blood. Then he flung out his hands a little, and they flapped loosely at the wrists, like wet clothes hung in the wind to dry, and Billy seemed to crumple up suddenly, and slid down upon the grass in an untidy heap. "Ah-h-h!" said Mr. Flinks.
