A Tramp Abroad by Twain, Mark View in context
The veins and arteries spouted up such a prodigious quantity of blood, and so high in the air, that the great JET D'EAU at Versailles was not equal to it for the time it lasted: and the head, when it fell on the scaffold floor, gave such a bounce as made me start, although I was at least half an English mile distant.
Gulliver's Travels by Swift, Jonathan View in context
I finally saw plainly that there was really no way but one--I must simply give her the grand bounce.
Pudd'n'head Wilson by Twain, Mark View in context
