Bolt and Whitbread took it most to heart. Bolt went to Mr. Ransome, and put the case in his hands. Ransome made this remark:--"Ah, you are a stranger, sir. The folk hereabouts never come to us in these Union cases. I'll attend to it, trust me."
Bolt went with this tragedy to Henry, and it worried him; but he could do nothing. Bolt," said he, "I think you are making your own difficulties. Why quarrel with the Brickmakers' Union?英文原著 · 《Put Yourself in His Place》
Now radium itself is a constituent of uranium minerals, and two series of experiments by R.J. Strutt and B.B. Boltwood have shown that the content of radium, as measured by the radio-activity of the emanation, is directly proportional to the content of uranium. (Strutt, "Proc. Soc." A, February 1905; Boltwood, "Phil. Mag." April, 1905.) In Boltwood's investigation, some twenty minerals, with amounts of uranium varying from that in a specimen of uraninite with 74.65 per cent., to that in a monazite with 0.30 per cent., gave a ratio of uranium to radium, constant within about one part in ten.英文原著 · 《Darwin and Modern Science》
Bolt saw timidity in it. Little saw a conviction, and a quiet resolution, that foreboded a stern contest. No reply was sent, and the machines went on coining.

Two days afterward the wheel-bands vanished, and the obnoxious machines stood still. Little was for going to Grotait, to try and come to terms. Bolt declined.英文原著 · 《Put Yourself in His Place》
"Follow me carefully, then," continued Rouletabille, his eyes all the time fixed elsewhere. "The person who wishes to enter sticks through the hole a brass wire that he has already given the necessary curve to and which is fitted on its end with a light point of steel curved inward. With such an instrument it is child's play, if the hole has been made where it ought to be, to touch the bolt on the inside from the outside, pick the knob on it, withdraw it, and open the door if the bolt is like this one, a small door-bolt."英文原著 · 《The Secret of the Night》
Yes, yes, there had been a slight noise in the lock. A key turned, softly, softly, in the lock, and then - silence; and then another little noise, a grinding sound, a slight grating of wire, above, then on the bolt; upon the bolt which shone in the subdued glow of the night-lamp. The bolt softly, very softly, slipped slowly.英文原著 · 《The Secret of the Night》
"They also exhibit Asklepius as god, a physician, a maker of medicines, a compounder of plasters for his livelihood (for he is a needy wight), and in the end, they say that he was struck by Zeus with a thunder-bolt, because of Tyndareus, son of Lakedaemon, and thus perished. Now if Asklepius, though a god, when struck by a thunder-bolt, could not help himself, how can he help others?英文原著 · 《Barlaam and Ioasaph》
