Suddenly, an enormous hand reached down from the sky and took the bucket of water from her

'This is a very heavy bucket for such a small child,' he said gently, looking down at her from his great height.

He sat down and Cosette, after serving him some wine, returned to her place under the table

Then, as her eyes adjusted to the light, she saw the kind old face of Jean Valjean looking down at her, and she relaxed.

That evening, he went downstairs and looked up and down the street

Cosette took his hand, and went with him down the stairs.

'Put down your weapons and surrender!' a soldier called from the top of the barricade.

Looking down, Marius saw a dark shape crawling along the ground towards him

Marius bent down quickly, and saw that it was indeed that unhappy girl, dressed in a man's clothes.

Sit down on that stone, close beside me.'

He stared down at the four uniforms but, as he did so, a fifth uniform fell as if by magic at his feet.

'Heads down!' Enjolras shouted.

A tear rolled down Enjolras's cheek.

High and hot, and looking down on the crowds of people which wait on both sides of the empty road.

I feel sweat running down my neck.

He takes a cigarette from his packet, lights it and lets the hot evening sun shine down on his bald head.

Gerry feels sweat run down his back

"Are you on holiday, mate?" asks the other, who sits down at the table.

For half an hour he unpacks his things; then he sits down on the terrace with his bag at his feet and lights another cigarette.

Gerry looks down and sees the small crocodile biting Big Jones's leg.

Jake begins to feel sick again and looks down at his dirty old sneakers.

Then he kneels down and opens the bag.

"Hey!" he shouts, and he begins to jump up and down

"Down here! Look down here!" but he has no idea if anyone can hear him

"Please, sit down," Edward says with a smile that shows early signs of infatuation.

In reality, however, all he does is press 'play' on the recording device and write down a few notes about when the judge enters, when the prosecution or defence speaks, or what the final verdict is

So, he moves back to his desk, and he sits down in the seat and feels defeated.

You can imagine the street outside: twenty terraced houses stretching down the road

You pull the covers down to your chest and make yourself comfortable again

Two women sitting together on the front pew, their eyes closed and heads down

The roof is down, and Dan enjoys the feeling of the wind in his hair

"Jesus, just stay cool, Dan, just stay cool," he tries to tell himself as the red car slows down

Brandon put his beer down

Brandon watches the clear water tumble onto the rocks, through the snow and down to the frozen forest below.

He wants to sit down to look at them and moves closer to the edge.

He cannot sit down

He feels his legs shake and falls down onto the red and white snow by the waterfall.

Write that down."

Now, not many people come to this side of the forest at this time of the year, but if you see someone you just put the gun down gently in a bush or under some leaves

Okay? So remember: if you see or hear someone, put it down nice and gently, and there will be no problem."

Keep the gun pointed down to the ground unless I see a rabbit

put it down gently...

You just need to get home, she tells herself, and she feels the train slow down, and she knows she must get up.

"What was that about?" asked Niki, as they hurried on down the street

They sat down to eat their taste-pots, looking out at the beautiful view and watching the waves roll up the shore

She was on the top of a cliff looking down at a valley, with fields and forests that went on and on

Cham put the painting down

Then they changed to a sunny park, like the ones that their city used to have, and sat down to talk.

"No idea." Sala stared down at the little package in her hand

She turned and ran down the street to her apartment block, and soon she was in the dry and rushing upward in the elevator

Gran looked down at the strange gift, and to Sala's surprise, her face went deathly pale

"Gran! Are you OK?" Sala put an arm around her, and made her sit down on the little bench that looked over the city.

She broke it down the middle, and the little dried fruit fell out into her hand.

"Slow down a minute."

After thirty minutes, Apat was still jumping up and down happily, but Sala and Cham took a break and went to the cafe, where a drinks machine made special mixtures of juice and energy liquids.

"It doesn't sound like that." Sala banged her drink down

Sala went back down to her room and sent Cham a message.

Down, down..

nine floors down, she stepped out into a different world

The following afternoon, as Sala walked up and down in her little room, waiting to go with Cham for their pod experience, she had a strange feeling in her stomach

From far down on the ground floor, Cham sent a message: "Ready when you are!"

Sala rushed down, and they set out on one of the fastest walkways to the pod center, talking happily

"And then, when everything is attached, the pod moves into a horizontal position, so you're lying down."

Floating gently, Sala looked down into the water's depths

Sala did the same with another dolphin and they had a lot of fun, diving down through the water and back up to the surface with a splash.

They all sat down to eat and talk together

She sat down and hugged her knees.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" gasped Sala, and she bent down at once to help him pick them up.

Sala did as the woman had said: she turned and walked down the street

Then she sat down and covered her face with her hands

"What?" said Mom, putting down her cup of tea

Her guide was bending down, playing with her boot; and then she signaled with her fingers, inviting Sala on

Walking more slowly now, the woman went down a narrow passageway.

Sala sat down on the sofa, and Wena sat next to her.

They're trying to break down the force field and maybe help some people escape."

"She's lying down, having a little rest."

People were coming and going from the main entrance, like last time, but the narrow passageway down the side looked dark and empty

After looking around to check that no one was watching her, she slipped quietly down the passageway, and found the same door as before

She took a deep breath and began to make her way down the stairway.

"Sala! What on earth is it?" Mom called down from the Real Space

Slow down

"Mmmm," said Sala, looking down at her tea.

Cham sat down and looked at the pictures that his sisters had drawn for him, then answered his parents' questions about the tests

I followed slowly, my eyes looking down at the floor

Mrs Van Hopper sat down at her usual table and stared at everyone in the restaurant.

The rich sauce ran down Mrs Van Hopper's chin

Then I saw that a new guest was sitting down at the next table

She put down her fork and stared at him hard

I looked down at the floor and tried not to hear Mrs Van Hopper's loud voice

I went down to the restaurant by myself

I sat down awkwardly trying not to look at him

The water went all over the cloth and ran down on to my skirt

Come and sit down

I ran down the stairs, holding my gloves in one hand

De Winter turned the car carefully, and we drove down the twisting road again

I remember how I ran down the stairs because the lift was too slow

He slowed down the car and we stopped by the side of the road

The tears began to run down my cheeks

Go down to the hotel office now

I went down to the lounge at half past nine

Go down to the reception desk and ask

Instead of going down to the reception desk, I ran up the stairs

'Sit down,' he said

I sat down at the table.

An old man with a kind face came down the steps.

He went first to Maxim and then sat down beside me

We passed through doors and up and down wide stairs

The windows there look down to the sea.'

I bent down to the dog and stroked its soft ears.

I had thought that perhaps we would walk down to the sea, or sit under the great tree on the lawn.

I sat down and opened the Guest Book

I put down the phone and looked at the desk

I bent down to stroke the dog's head

I did not know what had happened down in the bay

Then she bent down and kissed me

He bent down and threw a stick for Jasper to run after.

We climbed the grass bank above the lawns and walked down into the woods

The path ran down into a little valley, by the side of a stream.

I looked down at the clear white flowers

The bushes made an arch over our heads so that we had to bend down

Maxim looked down at me, smiling at the surprise on my face.

We both went down to the water's edge and threw more stones

The woods came right down to the shore

I climbed down into the bay and the man looked at me for the first time

I walked across the room and knelt down by Maxim's chair.

Maxim looked down at me.

We did not go down to the beach again

Sometimes I thought about the cottage down in the bay

I had gone down into the bay

They even came down from London.'

'What do you know about any gossip down here?' he said

His whole body was shaking with fear and tears were rolling down his fat, round face.

Ben smiled again and went off down the beach to the sea

'I beg your pardon,' the man said, looking down at me with a rather unpleasant smile

I sat down on the stool by the dressing-table

As I stood looking down at the bed, I heard a step behind me.

When I came in, I heard she had gone down to the bay

Then I put on my coat and went down to the bay

I went down the stairs and through the door to the east wing

Then I lay down on my bed and closed my eyes

I put the phone down

I watched Beatrice's car go down the drive

As I went down to dinner, I stopped in front of the picture of the young girl

I'll come down when I'm ready.'

'I'm going down.'

I stood in the gallery and looked down on the hall below.

'What's the time, Frank? She must be down soon.'

I expected everyone to laugh and clap as I walked down the stairs.

Go down and enjoy the party

'I'm not going down.'

You must come down for him,' she said.

'I must go down now,' she said at last

I'll tell Maxim you'll be down in a minute, shall I?'

I walked slowly down the stairs to meet them.

Once, Beatrice came up to me and said, 'Why don't you sit down? You look like death.'

They poured down my face as I spoke.

I put down the telephone stood up

Someone was standing there, looking down at me

'Look down there,' Mrs Danvers said

It was Maxim down on the terrace

'We had better go down,' she said in her usual voice

'Mr de Winter's gone down to the bay

I had heard his voice and he was down there in the bay

'They're going to send a diver down soon, Mrs de Winter,' said the coastguard

I want to see the diver go down,' I said.

The diver went down and came up again

I got up and walked down the hill to the bay

'The big ship won't go down like the little one

When we sent the diver down to look at the ship, he found something else

I sat down

He sat down on a chair and I went and knelt beside him.

She invited friends down here, to Manderley

'Favell often stayed with Rebecca down at the cottage

I sat and watched it go down.'

'They will think the boat sank when Rebecca went down into the cabin

I went down to breakfast as usual

I went out on to the terrace and began to walk up and down.

'I suppose Mrs de Winter had to go down into the cabin for something

We did not walk in the woods or go down to the sea

I got out of the car and began walking up and down.

He opened the door for me and I went in quietly and sat down

I stared down at the floor.

I went upstairs to my room, and lay down on my bed

I sat down

I'm going down to the church now

Come down as soon as you can

It was too late to drive down to Manderley

He went down to the cottage and killed her there

Someone had seen it all happen - someone who was often down there in the bay - Ben.

'You all help each other down here, don't you?' he said

I settled down for the long journey to London

Please sit down,' he said.

Dr Baker stopped and looked down at the files.

Though she always resisted the grim truth, it gradually exerted itself every time, and she was repeatedly brought down hard, forced to accept that the dream was not a premonition

Her heart knotted in her chest, and her lower lip began to quiver again, and she put her head down on the table

Of course, if the production was a flop, if it failed to please the audience, she might be back working the small lounges again, on her way down

But now it lay at an angle, the base against the wall, the easel itself slanted, chalkboard-down, across a game table

She put her gun down, went around the foot of the bed, and stood the easel on its legs, as it belonged

The room stepped down toward the stage in alternating wide and narrow galleries

As Tina stood in this beautiful theater, glancing down at the colorfully costumed people milling about on the stage, then looking at Joel's rubbery face, listening as her co-producer unblushingly raved about their handiwork, she was happier than she had been in a long time

Shortly before noon, two high rollers from Dallas sat down at a blackjack table and, in three hours, lost a quarter of a million bucks; they were laughing and joking when they left the table to try another game

She was in such an excellent mood that she didn't think even the sight of his room would be able to bring her down, as it usually did

A chill swept down her back.

She let the hot water beat down on her neck for several minutes, until the stiffness in her muscles melted and flowed away.

Puzzled, frowning thoughtfully, Vivienne put down the knife, pulled one end of the sofa away from the wall, and collected the framed eight-by-tens that were on the floor behind it

The model planes began to bounce violently up and down on the ends of their lines.

As abruptly as the bed had started bouncing up and down, it now stopped

The final curtain came down at eight minutes till ten o'clock, and the ovation continued until after Tina's wristwatch had marked the hour

On the wall to the left of the bed, a poster of the creature from the Alien movies tore down the middle.

The voice faded after a minute, but the bed began to bang up and down.

She had to get down to him and push the earth away from his face before he suffocated, so in blind panic she threw herself over the edge of the pit, into the terrible abyss, falling and falling-

The easel lay on the carpet, the chalkboard facing down.

She slammed down the handset.

On the right, beyond the craps tables, halfway down the long room, elevated from the main floor, the white-marble and brass baccarat pit catered to a more affluent and sedate group of gamblers; at baccarat, the pit boss, the floor man, and the dealers wore tuxedos

"Let's go down to the arcade."

To reach the escalators that would carry them down to the shopping arcade on the lower level, they had to cross the entire casino

When at last they reached the end of the casino and were on the escalators, heading down toward the shopping arcade, Tina said, "What is blackjack blackout?"

"The guy sits down to play cards and gets so involved he loses track of time, which is, of course, exactly what the management wants him to do

"Let's walk down to the ice-cream parlor and get a couple of pistachio cones

Anyway, when he finally gets hungry and realizes he hasn't eaten, he gulps down a huge meal, and the blood rushes from his head to his stomach, and he passes out in the middle of the restaurant

Just get right down to it

"Now that you've had your fling as a producer, you're ready to settle down

You know damn well the down payment for the house came out of my earnings

You could have taken him down to Disneyland for a couple days

Turning away, she left him in the sunshine, with the ice cream melting down the cone and onto his hand.

One of the valet-parking attendants brought her car, and she drove down the hotel's steeply slanted exit drive.

She couldn't see where she was going, because hot tears streamed down her face

Maybe I'm coming down with something

She imagined herself leaving her office, walking down the long hallway, opening doors, peering into silent, deserted offices, until at last she found a man sitting at another terminal

"They had the best wilderness clothing and the best down-lined sleeping bags, the best winter tents, plenty of charcoal and other heat sources, plenty of food, and two wilderness experts to guide them

Still sitting on the couch, Elliot shook his head and stared down at his cognac.

If your inability to accept Danny's death was a serious problem, you wouldn't push it down into your subconscious

She sank back on the sofa, slouched down

Aware that her answer had disappointed him, she looked down at her hands, which were laced together so tightly that her knuckles were white.

He switched on a small lamp that stood upon the dresser, and he turned down the sheets.

He carried her to the bed, put her down, and urged her to lie back

He switched off the bedside lamp and persuaded her to lie down again

They went outside and strolled down the street, past the partygoers' cars, which ran the gamut from Rolls-Royces to Range Rovers.

Elliot didn't tell the judge about the malicious prankster, for that seemed like an unnecessary complication; he still believed that once the fact of Danny's death was established by the exhumation, the quickest and surest way of dealing with the harassment was to hire a first-rate firm of private investigators to track down the perpetrator

"If the father has a chance to protest," Elliot said, "we'll probably get involved in a knock-down-drag-out legal battle

Putting down the vinegar bottle and picking up the knife, Elliot said, "Get the fuck out of here."

"Calm down, Mr

"Please calm down."

"Put the knife down, and we'll all be happy."

Finally, Elliot put it down.

He put down the black physician's bag, opened it, and withdrew a compact cassette tape recorder

"Go over to the table and sit down."

He's going to hear the questions anyway when he finally sits down

"It's a lot, thirty or forty questions altogether, but it won't take long if you just sit down over there and cooperate."

"Now," Vince said, "counselor, are you going to walk over to the table and sit your ass down, or am I going to have to motivate you with this?" He gestured with his pistol again.

I'm not gonna answer any more questions, but I am gonna put a bullet in your crotch if you don't move over to the table and sit down."

So will you cool it? Just come over here, sit down, let me inject you, give us a few answers, and we can all get on with our lives

Now sit down at the table like a good boy."

"If you bastards want me to sit down at that table, you're going to have to drag me there."

Gas might be leaking under the concrete slab and building up down there, in which case it's possible you wouldn't detect it right away, but you'd still be sitting on top of a bomb."

He went to the furnace, put his heavy tool kit on the floor, and hunkered down

She put the magazine aside, cover-down, so she wouldn't have to meet Death's wormy, red-eyed gaze.

"Well, there was the gas man," Tina said as she hurried down the short hall toward the master bedroom.

Too late, he saw the sign at the fourth intersection - NOT A THROUGH STREET - but they were already around the corner and headed down the narrow dead end, with nothing but a row of ten modest stucco houses on each side.

It wouldn't come down

The door rumbled down, concealing them from anyone who might drive past.

"Maybe just a down payment?" Tom asked.

Any amusement he felt at the way they had handled Polumby evaporated instantly as he reversed warily out of sanctuary, down the driveway, and into the street

"It'll come down."

"And I sure wouldn't choose to have my nice, peaceful, quiet life turned upside down

There's a part of you, deep down, that's responding to the challenge with a degree of pleasure."

Tina looked down at the wet circle that her glass had left on the table

The bodies were brought out of the mountains, down to Reno."

Tina wasn't able to cover her ears; her arms hung straight down at her sides, frozen, rigid, hands fisted, and she couldn't find the will or the strength to lift them

They put their heads down and scurried past the front of the diner, around the side, through the purple light under the single mercury-vapor lamp, and into the deep shadows behind the building.

"Calm down," he said

A group had gone down a while ago and would be returning for their last stand at the tables before a whole new staff came on duty with the shift change

He glanced down the escalator

Bruckster held his hand eighteen inches below Michael Evans's eyes, so that the dealer was forced to glance down to see what was being shown to him.

He gagged, and a ribbon of foamy saliva unraveled from the corner of his mouth, down his chin

The active poison itself had already penetrated the victim's body, done its work, and begun to break down into a series of naturally occurring chemicals that would raise no alarms when the coroner later studied the results of the usual battery of forensic tests

"I'm no doctor," Bruckster said, "but it sure looks like a heart attack to me, the way he dropped like a stone, same way my uncle Ned went down last Fourth of July right in the middle of the fireworks display."

Alexander put down the enameled cigarette box that he had been studying

I'll call the night manager at the airport down there, pretend to be FBI, see what he can tell me."

Fifteen minutes later Alexander put down the telephone

The temperature drops abruptly, stays down for two or three minutes, never longer than five, and then it rises to normal again."

"Head down!" Elliot shouted.

"If we abandon the car with them so close, they'll run us down fast

You drive on down the street, but not too fast

deep down inside

deep down, I got a sick sort of thrill when I killed that man."

In fact, maybe the thrill wasn't so deep down

When the plane settled down once more, Alexander looked out the window at the milky-white, moonlit, feminine roundness of the clouds below, and he thought of the Evans woman

She started down the tunnel toward him, determined to get him out of there - and something reached for her from a narrow cleft in the wall

Danny began calling again, and she continued down the dusky tunnel toward him

Elliot and Tina spread the map on the table and sat down across from each other.

Sandstone was rubbing his hands up and down his arms to ward off the steadily deepening chill that had gripped the room

spirit," Elliot said, deciding to stick with the occult terminology, not wanting to get bogged down in the real story about Danny.

She blinked in confusion, then glanced down at the route that she had marked on the map

"But what if they're watching my accounts down there? That would lead them to us fast

"You know what it's like down there this time of year

So I usually just drive down the day before I open

Alexander took a Valium out of a tin that he carried in his jacket pocket, and he washed it down with a swallow of hot coffee, which he poured from the silver pot on his desk

But if the Explorer broke down in the mountains, or if another hitch developed, they wanted to be prepared for the unexpected.

The trees hung low, lower, lower still, until, at last, the ice-crusted evergreen boughs frequently scraped across the roof of the Explorer with a sound like fingernails being drawn down a blackboard.

The guard slammed the receiver down

Elliot rammed his foot down hard on the accelerator, and the Explorer shot forward.

And it probably goes down several stories too."

Beside the monitor was a lighted glass plate against which the visitor was supposed to place his right hand, palm-down, within the existing outline of a hand

He was sweating in his Gore-Tex suit, praying that Danny wouldn't let him down

"Put the gun aside, sit down, and don't make any trouble."

"Just sit down."

"When we were running operations against the drug lords down in Colombia," Morgan said, "they called me 'Bats,' meaning I had bats in the belfry." He laughed.

"If that's not good enough for you, I can shut you down the same way I did that damn machine

He sat down, pale.

A wall of frigid air fell on the chopper and drove it down

For almost two months, they've been reinfecting his body over and over again, letting the virus wear him down, trying to discover how many times he can lick it before it finally licks him

From somewhere deep inside of him, from far down beneath all the pain and fear and anguish, Danny found a smile for her

Tina pushed down the railing and sat on the edge of the bed and carefully pulled Danny into her arms

He tucked the snowshoes under his arm and took off down the mountain road, the same one I presume you came in on

He's not too heavy for me, worn down as he is, but he's still an awkward bundle."

"But once our story breaks in the papers," Tina said, "they'll probably just shut this place down."

They might pretend to close us down, but they won't

Leaning forward to view the Explorer through the bubble window of the chopper, George Alexander said, "Put us down right in front of them, Jack."

'Well, sit down,' said Holmes, 'and tell me about yourself.'

The young man sat down, and put his wet feet near the fire

The police said that he was walking home in the dark when he fell down a hill

But the truth is that I am fighting down the feeling that a stranger has broken into the house and is in my bedroom

Andre's body, is down at the factory..

Only once was Helene's behaviour so wild and uncontrollable that the doctor had to give her a powerful drug to calm her down

All I could do was hope that those defences would continue to break down.

She remained quite still, looking down at her hands

'We'll celebrate with reintegrated champagne!' he said, landing the way down to the laboratory.

'Put the bottle down on that.'

I now expected that my husband would invite the Air Ministry people to come down, but he went on working.

I sent the servant down with some food, but she brought it back with a note she had found outside the laboratory door: DO NOT DISTURB ME, I AM WORKING.

At dinner time that evening I had still not seen Andre, so I ran down to the laboratory and knocked at the door

Walk over to my desk and put down the bowl of milk Then go into the other room where the receiving booth is

There were papers everywhere, chairs lay on their sides, and one of the window curtains was half-torn and hanging down

Instead of his hand, a grey stick like the branch of a tree hung out of his sleeve, almost down to his knee.

I went out and sank down to the floor crying as he locked the door behind me

I woke suddenly at 7 a.m., ran down to the kitchen, and prepared coffee, bread and butter.

That night, as I began to take Andre's dinner down to him, I stopped by the telephone

I took the food down to the laboratory and, after he let me in, put it on his desk

I watched him kneel down, wrap a cloth round his head, and lie down flat on the floor.

The hammer came down a second time.

That weekend, she goes down to the harbor

Lettice sat down on the sofa

I sat down between Miss Marple and Miss Wetherby.

We walked down the road, which went past her house

As I closed it, I suddenly decided to go down to our shed, which Lawrence Redding was using as a studio, to look at Griselda's picture while no one was there

I've got to think.' And he began to run down the road.

I went down the passage and opened the study door

'He sits down to write this, an enemy comes in through the glass door and shoots him.'

We had just sat down to breakfast when she appeared at the door

He went in, threw down the pistol, and said, "I did it." Just like that.' Satisfied, she left the room.

I opened the glass door and she stepped inside and sat down with us

About ten o'clock last night, Redding comes in, throws down a pistol, and says to the police, "Here I am

'We'd better go down to the police station and see him.'

I hurried down the stairs after Melchett

But I suppose Colonel Protheroe wasn't there yet, because she came back almost immediately, and walked down to the studio.'

'So, Mrs Protheroe went down to the studio?' said Colonel Melchett.

Because I was bending down

He went down to the studio

And Dr Stone came down the path from Old Hall, so they all walked towards the village together

'Yes, but did you hear any other shot - one down in the woods, perhaps?'

And yet at twenty past six he sits down and says he "can't wait any longer".'

'Imagine,' I said, 'that at about 6.30 Colonel Protheroe sat down to write that he couldn't wait any longer

So I hurried down to the studio where Lawrence joined me.'

She's gone down to the police station.'

'You came down here to make a complaint.'

And the person laughed! Then they put down the telephone

I had to lie down on the sofa.'

As we sat down, I told him that we now knew the time of the shot.

We sat down.

Then, years later, she hears that he is living in this village, so comes down here and tries it again

I bent down

I followed Anne down to her sitting room

'Yes, Miss Marple, I'm going to take it down to the police station.'

'Colonel Protheroe had arranged for a man to come down from London on Monday - tomorrow - to make a full valuation

He was walking up and down, and his whole body was shaking.

I decided to visit Dr Haydock and went down the road to his house.

That evening, as I sat down to dinner, Griselda said, 'Oh, I forgot to tell you, Len, this note arrived for you when you were out.'

Otherwise, she would not have gone down to the studio to meet Mr Redding

I had just sat down at my desk again, when the doorbell rang

I put the phone down, and turned to Melchett

I hurried down the village street

Then I sat down and read the anonymous letter again.

Come to see Hawes at once, will you? At once, I say!' He put the phone down and turned to me

Help me to carry him down to the car.'

Then she dropped the pistol on the floor and walked down to the studio!'

He threw small stones at Anne's window to wake her up and she came down to the garden to talk to him

She is dying, and she wanted to see me, so she came down here using a different name

I don't want everyone telling me to lie down all the time

It must be, if scientific thinking is correct, older than our world, and life on its surface began a long time before this Earth cooled down

He could hear movement from inside but thought this was due to it cooling down

For a minute he hardly realized what this meant, and although the heat was great, he climbed down into the pit to see the cylinder more closely

As soon as Ogilvy saw me, he called me to come down, and asked me if I would mind going over to see Lord Hilton, who owned the land

Someone pushed against me, and I almost fell down on top of the screw

Then I saw a round object moving up and down

The sun went down before anything else happened

I ran until I was totally exhausted and I fell down beside the road

I went into the dining-room, sat down, and told her the things that I had seen.

After breakfast, instead of working, I decided to walk down towards the common

I rushed out onto the grass and saw the tops of the trees around the Oriental College burst into smoky red flame, and the tower of the little church beside it slide down into ruins

Then one of our chimneys cracked and broken bricks fell down onto the flower-bed by my study window.

I drove the cart down the road and, leaving it with my wife and servant, rushed into the house and packed a few valuables

In another moment we were clear of the smoke and the noise, and moving quickly down the opposite side of Maybury Hill.

There is a gentle slope towards the foot of Maybury Hill, and down this we went

The flashing light was blinding and confusing, and thin rain hit my face as I drove down the slope.

At first I thought it was the wet roof of a house, but the lightning flashes showed that it was moving quickly down Maybury Hill

I let myself into my house and locked the door, walked to the bottom of the stairs and sat down, shaking violently.

I went down, opened the door and let him in

Then suddenly he sat down at the table, put his head on his arms and began to cry like a little boy

They all went down in a second

The fires had died down now, but the ruins of broken and burnt-out houses and blackened trees were clear in the cold light of the dawn

Then we left the house and ran as quickly as we could down the narrow road

I turned around again and ran towards the approaching Martian, ran right down the stony beach and dived into the water

It hit a church tower, knocking it down, then moved on and fell into the river out of sight.

The Martian came into sight down the river, most of it under the water

Looking back, I saw the other Martians walking down the river-bank from the direction of Chertsey

The Heat- Ray came down to the water's edge less than fifty metres from where I stood

I have a faknee-int memory of the foot of a Martian coming down within twenty metres of my head, going straight into the loose stones

I saw an empty boat, very small and far away, moving down the river and, taking off most of my wet clothes, I swam to it

I used my hands to keep it moving, down the river towards Walton, going very slowly and often looking behind me

When the bridge at Walton was coming into sight, I landed on the Middlesex bank and lay down, very sick, in the long grass.

On Waterloo Bridge a number of people were watching an odd brown liquid that came down the river from time to time

All down Wellington Street people could be seen reading the paper

Up and down the street other windows were opening and people were shouting questions

Unable to learn what was happening from his window, my brother went down and out into the street, just as the sky turned pink with the dawn

He heard people running in the rooms, and up and down the stairs behind him

The shells exploded all round it and it was seen to move forwards a few steps, and go down

It was heavy, this smoke, so when it began to sink down it behaved like a liquid, running down hills and into the valleys

For a day and a half he stayed up there, tired, hungry and burnt by the sun before it was safe to come down

The men and horses near it were seen running, screaming, falling down

The man he held pulled himself free and ran off down the road in the direction from which he had come.

They both stopped further down the road, where the third man lay unconscious.

People were actually climbing down onto the boats from the bridge above.

When, an hour later, a Martian walked down the river, there was nothing but broken pieces of boats in the water.

It was very difficult to get her down to the beach, where after some time my brother caught the attention of some men from a steamboat

He held it pointing down, and a cloud of steam came up from the water as it hit the ship.

And as it flew, it rained down darkness on the land.

We stood shocked by our danger, and if the Martian had been looking down we would have died immediately

There the curate lay down, crying silently and refusing to move again.

There was a crash of glass, the sound of falling walls, and then the ceiling fell down in pieces on our heads

I crawled back into the kitchen and saw him lying down and looking out of the hole at the Martians.

I touched the curate's leg, and he moved so suddenly that some bricks slid down outside with a loud crash

Then something - something struggling violently - was lifted high against the sky and brought down again

It moved the handle up and down for a moment, and then the door opened.

From there I looked down on Putney and the river.

'This is my country: all this hill down to the river and up to the edge of the common

I crawled into an open space in the bushes and sat down.

All these - the sort of people that lived in these houses, all those little office workers that used to live down that way - they'd be no good

We went back down into the house

After I had said goodbye to the soldier, I went down the hill, along the High Street and across the bridge to Fulham

Further down the road, a woman in torn clothes was sitting on a doorstep

It came most loudly down Exhibition Road

'Ulla, ulla, ulla,' cried that inhuman note - great waves of sound sweeping down the broad, sunlit road, between the tall buildings on each side

I turned down St John's Wood Road and ran away from this terrible stillness.

I lost my way among the streets, and soon saw down a long road, in the half-light of the early dawn, the curve of Primrose Hill

At the sound of birds overhead I looked up at the enormous fighting-machine that would never fight again, at the pieces of red flesh that dropped down onto the overturned seats on the top of Primrose Hill.

I turned and looked down the slope of the hill at those two other Martians that I had seen the previous night

All down the line from there, the country looked empty and unfamiliar

I came down and went into the dining-room

I saw the houses stretching away and disappearing into the smoke and mist, people walking up and down between the flower-beds, and the sightseers around the Martian machine that still stands there

The man then took off his hat, and sat down on a chair.

I sat down to watch.

They sit down on the grass to rest and laugh

He accidentally knocked George down

Then he sat down by the stove and mixed them with a fork.

The sun was going down, and there was a red light on the water

It's men like you, George, who slow down the progress of our world.'

It's women like you who keep all of us down.'

Tears ran down Connie's face

She sat down and the door closed with a smooth little sound as the car slid away.

Down on the beach, the old Sea slides up and down the sands

She lies down again and turns her face to the wall, and James throws himself down beside her.

As we walked together down the London road, looking for a carriage, she said, 'Do you know any aristocrats?'

The next morning I went down to breakfast at nine

After lunch today, Laura went down to the lake alone again

I climbed out of the window and moved along a narrow ledge to the library roof, where I sat down

I changed into dry clothes, lit a candle, and wrote down the conversation

Every day, he copied down the births, marriages and deaths recorded that day

Firemen broke down the door and went in

After a few minutes of intense thought, he sat down again and said, 'What I'm going to tell you now is a secret, and I could be killed for telling it to you

He looked at me and walked on down the road

'Sit down, Mr Hartright

I copied down the words on the gravestone before it was removed.

This meant that the white people could sit down.

A pilot saw them, and he flew his aeroplane down at them

When they came down in Lae, New Guinea, on 29th June, there were only 7,000 more miles to travel

At the time, astronauts had to parachute down when they came back near to Earth

"Sit down! Eat these cakes and this wine."
