She put her fist through the glass and ran to her bed, crying because her arm was covered in blood.

An elderly man and a young girl appeared in the doorway and Marius, still looking through the hole in the wall, could not believe his eyes.

Taking off his boots, he quietly climbed on to the cupboard and looked through the hole in the wall

"We were communicating through our avatars," said Cham "It's so clever."

All the reasons she'd given to Cham ran through her mind, but how could she explain them to Niki? It was really complicated.

If the government finds out that messages are getting through the force field and passing across the city boundary, there could be big trouble."

Leti led them past the pods where they'd been swimming with dolphins, and then through some thick glass doors

At last, Cham came back through the doors with Leti and his parents

You will remain in the pod for this, so you will speak through your avatar."

Before long, they passed through a district that Sala had never visited before

They've discovered that the contamination is all a lie and they're trying to find ways through the force field!"

"Well, Gran," said Sala, "maybe one day, when Cham comes out of the pod, and they've managed to break through the force field, we really will be able to go together

She turned away, and before Sala could stop her, she picked up her yellow bag and disappeared through the center's doors.

As they stared at each other through two windows and through the strange sulphurous light, she had the feeling that they were making contact across an immense gulf of space and time and destiny

From that, she moved up through a series of similar positions in larger lounges, then in small showrooms that seated four or five hundred in second-rate hotels with limited show budgets

She certainly couldn't share with him her appraisal of the situation: Danny, sweetheart, don't worry about anything you might have heard through the wall

Her hands were icy; they chilled her sides even through her nightgown.

After the relative quiet of Christmas week, an uninterrupted stream of guests was pouring through the front doors

Once she had gotten through the premiere of Magyck! She had better start cutting back on the booze

Vivienne let herself in through the kitchen door

After a long silence, a brief clattering echoed through the house from another room, startling Vivienne

The radio's digital display began to change, the orange numbers escalating across the frequency band, sweeping through one station after another

Tina mingled, moving back and forth, upstage and downstage, through the crowd, thanking everyone for his contribution to the show's success, complimenting each member of the cast and crew on his dedication and professionalism

The heating system rumbled to life, and for a couple of minutes at a time, the blower whispered wordlessly as hot air pushed through the vents.

Shaking with rage, Tina slowly crossed the room, carefully stepping through the debris

Fuming, Tina went through the house, meticulously checking every window and door

She pulled the telephone directory from a drawer and leafed through the Yellow Pages until she found the advertisements for locksmiths

Tina pressed through the milling onlookers who filled the wide center aisle, and she located Michael almost at once

Michael led the way, gently pushing and elbowing through the holiday crowd, and Tina followed quickly in his wake, before the path that he made could close up again.

They've been through a time warp and lost a couple of days

After all, she'd lived with him for a long time, through years of happiness and years of misery, and she'd come to know the limits of his talent for deception and duplicity

He was happy being a blackjack dealer; his salary and his good tips were enough for him, and he was content to coast through the years

She walked back through the shopping arcade, rode the escalator up to the casino, and made her way through the noisy crowd to the front doors

She just surrendered to the racking grief that swept through her and did not question it.

Tina quickly shuffled through the pages, seeking more of the sick prankster's work

Tina paged through the book until she found the code that she needed to call up the list of the hotel's best customers

The laser whispered through twenty names, forty, sixty, seventy, without producing the lines about Danny that had been on the first printout

He seemed to know that she had to go through the whole story to get it off her mind.

Hundreds of cars progressed sluggishly through the busy street, taxicabs darting in and out, recklessly seeking any small advantage

As he showed her through the house, he was eager to hear her reaction to it, and she didn't make him wait long.

He showed her through the rest of the house, which she wanted to see

Gradually, however, as she and Elliot went through the standard rites of courtship, the indirect sexual thrusts and parries of a budding relationship, albeit at an accelerated pace, the familiarity of the games reassured her

He spent an hour and a half in his library, paging through legal casebooks, boning up on precedents for the exhumation of a body that, as the court had put it, "was to be disinterred in the absence of a pressing legal need, solely for humane reasons, in consideration of certain survivors of the deceased." Elliot didn't think Harold Kennebeck would give him any trouble, and he didn't expect the judge to request a list of precedents for something as relatively simple and harmless as reopening Danny's grave, but he intended to be well prepared

On windy days, the dust was as thick as fog, and it pushed its dirty little cat feet under doors, around windows, and through attic vents.

Elliot's mind raced through a list of cases that his law firm was currently handling, searching for some connection with these two intruders, but he couldn't think of one.

In a day or two, someone would find him out there, his face blue-green-gray, his tongue dark and lolling, his eyes bulging in their sockets as he stared through the windshield as if on a drive to Hell

She dragged it into the bedroom, across the carpet, into the shafts of reddish-gold afternoon sunlight that filtered through the sheltering trees outside and then through the dust-filmed window.

"Emergency crew," the repairman said through the closed door

She studied him through the narrow gap

"If you want, I could just go in through the garage door."

"It's going to feel like a freight train ramming straight through you," Vince said

Elliot went through the thug's pockets

He quickly leafed through the telephone directory

She took the graphic novel out of the carton and sat on the edge of the bed in the tarnished-copper sunlight that fell like a shower of pennies through the window.

She had paged through only two of the magazines Danny had bought, the first two, when she had been trying to make up her mind whether such unusual reading material could have any harmful effects on him

To her surprise, through the fish-eye lens, she saw Elliot on the stoop.

Still carrying the magazine, she rushed through the house, past the kitchen, into the laundry room

But an image of crimson eyes, yellow skin - the leering face of death - flashed through her mind, and she kept moving.

In the foyer, Elliot jerked open the front door, pushed her through ahead of him, and they both plunged into the golden late-afternoon sunshine.

But even as Tina looked from Elliot to the fire, before all of the shingles had fallen back to earth, a second explosion slammed through the house, and a billowing cloud of flame roared from one end of the structure to the other, bursting those few windows that had miraculously survived the first blast.

Now she turned all the way around and stared through the rear window of the sports car

The tires squealed, and the car slid sideways, but the superb suspension and responsive steering held the Mercedes firmly on four wheels all the way through the arc.

He sat stiffly behind the wheel, clenching his teeth, wondering if a bullet would crack through the windshield and shatter his face.

I pored through Danny's collection

"But that's the only difference between the basic plot of this story and what we're going through

He squinted through the glass into the perfectly black interior, and he had the disconcerting feeling that someone was hiding in there, staring out at him.

It hissed through the branches of a nearby date palm.

A bird swooped through the darkness overhead

Tina's mouth began to water as soon as she stepped through the door.

They read quickly through the remaining material, but none of it was enlightening

Elliot sipped his beer and paged through the horror-comics magazine that had belonged to Danny

If they hadn't seen their kids' bodies, they might have just gone through a year of doubt like you did, might be easily persuaded to join us in a call for the reopening of all the graves

Beyond the window, out on Charleston Boulevard, traffic sailed murkily through a sudden churning river of dust and paper scraps.

They listened to the country music on the jukebox and watched Charleston Boulevard through the window, where the desert dust storm clouded oncoming headlights and forced the traffic to move slowly

Tina wanted to walk through the diner and grab each of the customers by the throat, shake and threaten each of them, until she discovered who had rigged the jukebox

Although no one was touching the jukebox, the volume increased, and the two words boomed through the diner, thundered, vibrated in the windows, and rattled silverware on the tables.

In a flash of understanding, she saw through to the heart of the mystery

The windstorm was still in progress, but it was not raging as fiercely as it had been when Elliot and Tina had watched it through the restaurant window

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.

"We've already been through this argument, and we rejected it," he reminded her.

Can you shoot holes through it? Can you prove I'm wrong?"

I don't know." A flood of unreasonable anger washed through her: "Christ, how could I know the answer to that?"

Sheets, puffs, and spinning funnels of vaguely phosphorescent dust moved like specters through the night.

She felt as if he were not merely looking at her but into her, through her

He had thought Evans might be keeping a vigil at the demolished house, while the firemen sifted through the still-smoldering debris, searching for the remains of the woman they thought might be buried there

Bruckster fell in beside and slightly behind his target as they pressed through the teeming mob that jammed the enormous casino

The gasp drew the deadly mist up his nose, where the active poison - a particularly fast-acting neurotoxin - was instantaneously absorbed through the sinus membranes

Then a wild, twisted expression of agony wrenched his face as brutal pain slammed through him

A uniformed security guard shouldered through the mob of curious onlookers and stooped next to Bruckster

But on the other hand, she was working through Stryker to have her son's grave reopened, which seemed to indicate that she knew something.

As Kennebeck turned away from the French frigate, beginning to wonder if he ought to get out from under the Network before it collapsed on him, George Alexander entered the study through the door that opened off the downstairs hallway

Kennebeck had lifted himself out of poverty through hard work and steely determination

The Cessna Turbo Skylane RG knifed through the darkness, two miles above the Nevada desert, with the low clouds under it, wings plated silver by moonlight.

Carlton Dombey, a curly-haired man with a bushy mustache, stood at the window, blotting his damp hands on his medical whites and peering anxiously through one of the few frost-free patches of glass

I know," Dombey said wearily, pushing one hand through his bush of curly hair

He turned his head toward them and stared at them through the railed sides of the hospital bed in which he lay.

I'll go through the cemetery, circle around, and approach the place from the rear."

It swept through the graveyard, fluting between the headstones and the larger monuments, whispering a promise of more snow, much more than the meager flurries it now carried.

Cautiously he leaned forward and peeked through a narrow gap in a partly closed venetian blind

"But they expected us through the front door." He took her by the arm

He didn't hear a shot, but a bullet shattered the rear side window behind his head and slammed into the back of the front seat, spraying gummy bits of safety glass through the car.

Elliot hunched low over the wheel, expecting a bullet through the rear window

The first two clanged through sheet metal, but the third punctured the right front tire.

It spun across the street, jumped the curb, crashed through a hedge, destroyed a plaster birdbath, and came to rest in the middle of a snow-blanketed lawn.

Kurt Hensen, George Alexander's right-hand man, dozed through the rough flight from Las Vegas to Reno

The hole in the wall was not wide enough for him to step through, into her passageway; he could only thrust one arm at her, and his long, bony fingers were an inch or two short of her

A dozen times, she passed chinks in the wall, and Death glared out at her from every one of those apertures, screamed and cursed and raged at her, but none of the holes was large enough to allow him through

I can get through to him that way."

open yourself to whoever wants to speak through you."

If we're lucky, we'll have Danny when we come out, and he probably won't be in any condition to trek through the Sierras in the dead of winter."

An Explorer's the only thing I'd want to take through the mountains on a bad day."

Still poring through the test results, stroking his mustache with one hand, Dombey said, "Listen to this..

"A lot of traffic's been through here recently."

He sighed and drove through the gate, which swung shut behind the Explorer.

The single lane widened to two lanes in places and switch backed up the ridges, through more densely packed strands of larger trees

They were no more than six or eight feet from the lighted shack, close enough to see the guard's face as he scowled at them through the large window.

The Explorer roared across the straightaway and careened up the slope beyond, through the tendrils of steam that rose from the black pavement.

With glossy photographs of Christina Evans and Elliot Stryker, George Alexander's men circulated through the hotels in downtown Reno, talking with desk clerks, bellmen, and other employees

Kurt Hensen was standing in front of Alexander's desk, picking through the junk that had been brought over from the hotel

He took his foot off the brake and drove forward, through sheeting snow stained red by the strange light.

Fortunately, Danny came through like a prince

The bullet tore through the guy's left shoulder and spun him around

The bullet had partially cauterized the wound as it passed through

"How the hell would you know?" the wounded man asked, straining his words through clenched teeth.

Opposite the sliding door through which she and Elliot had entered, the security room was another door of more ordinary dimensions and construction

It opened onto a junction of two hallways, which Tina had discovered a few minutes ago, just after Elliot had shot the guard, when she had peeked through the door to see if reinforcements were on the way.

Because he had the pistol, Elliot went through first, but Tina was close behind him.

To the right of the window was another airtight door like the one through which they'd just entered

He was paging through a book when they burst in

Fear spread tendrils through her and rooted her feet to the floor.

He stared at her through the side rails of the bed.

She couldn't pinpoint what else about his eyes made him so different from any eyes she had ever seen, but as she met Danny's gaze, a shiver passed through her, and she felt a profound and terrible pity for him.

Minutes ago, when Tina had first peered through the observation window, when she had seen the frighteningly thin child, she had told herself that she would not cry

The chopper hugged the valley floor, streaking northward, ten feet above an ice-blocked river, still forced to make its way through a snowfall that nearly blinded them, but sheltered from the worst of the storm's turbulence by the walls of mammoth evergreens that flanked the river

The helicopter continued to follow the frozen river north, through the snow-swept valley.

Alexander peered anxiously through the sheeting snow into which the chopper moved like a blind man running full-steam into endless darkness

Dombey pushed one hand through his thick, curly hair

Tina met Elliot's eyes, and she knew that the same thought was running through both their minds

When they took Danny out of the small room, they couldn't hear Zachariah's shouted invectives through the airtight steel door.

Tina, Elliot, and Danny went through the vestibule and stepped into the cold night

"Who's in the helicopter?" Danny asked, staring at it through the side window of the Explorer.

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."

An edge of fear sharpened his voice, fear that hadn't been audible throughout the entire, nightmarish trip through the mountains

All I know is that during the fourteen or sixteen - or seven thousand - months that we worked together, through countless story meetings in the development executive's office, I was never sure that any of my writing confreres had read the complete novel that he or she was adapting - or understood what had been read

At first, I thought the writers had put lampposts on this road, which would make no sense, as it is a secret route through restricted government property

Considering the fearsome number of meetings I had to sit through, my per-hour wage penciled out at less than I would have made if I had taken a part-time job at McDonald's.

'Though of course my brother could have entered the factory through the laboratory

The commissaire drove through the open factory gate, stopped by the main entrance, and we got out of the car

Six people from the Air Ministry came to the laboratory and went through all his papers

I had broken through her defences..

Andre claimed to have discovered a way of transmitting solid objects through space

For one little moment it did not exist! It was only atoms travelling through space at the speed of light! A moment later, the atoms were once more gathered together in the shape of an ashtray!'

'And I remember your friend, Professor Augier, saying that the only possible explanation was that the stones had been disintegrated outside the house, had then come through the walls, and been reintegrated before hitting the floor or opposite walls

'Are you saying that you have disintegrated that ashtray, then put it together again after pushing it through something?' I said.

'Yes, Helene! I sent it through the wall that separates my transmitter from my receiving machine

'I've been working my way through many problems, and I haven't been very pleasant to live with

But I'm certain it will go through all right.'

My only hope is to find that fly and take it through with me again

You remember the ashtray? Perhaps if you had put it through again, it might have come out with the letters turned back the right way.'

It must go through with me

After what seemed a very long wait, but was probably only a minute or two, I saw a bright light through my fingers.

Just think of the talk in the village.' She kissed me, and stepped through the open glass door into the garden.

She came through the glass door, pulled off her little yellow hat and said, 'Is Dennis about?'

The man was dead - shot through the head.

'Shot through the head.'

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

Lettice Protheroe came in through the glass door

And as he was writing, someone came in through the garden doors, came up behind the colonel and shot him

Then I went straight across to the study and looked through the window

Mrs Protheroe came back through the glass door.

When I found a place where the plants beside the path looked as though someone had walked on them, I left the path and forced my way through

'How did the murderer come to the study? First way, along the road and through the gate

Whoever shot the colonel came through the front door

And they don't need to come through the village

It was put through from the North Lodge of Old Hall

And from his cottage he would go through the North Gate

I had just reached the place so, once again, I pushed my way through the bushes

To walk through the village with the suitcase would only encourage gossip

And I looked through them as well, but there was no one in the house.'

Then he set fire to the end of the rope, knowing that it would take about twenty minutes to burn through and for the stone to fall and cause the explosion

Looking through the telescope, I saw a circle of deep blue with the little round planet in the centre

Thick clouds of smoke or dust, which looked like little grey, moving spots through a powerful telescope on Earth, spread through the clearness of the planet's atmosphere and hid its more familiar features.

It was, however, still very hot from its flight through the air and he could not get close to it

I went on to the crowd and pushed my way through

Then something like a little grey snake, about the thickness of a walking-stick, came out of the middle and moved through the air towards me - and then another.

With an effort I turned and began an unsteady run through the grass.

At about eleven, a company of soldiers came through Horsell and spread out in a great circle around the common

Three went through the open doors of the Oriental College and two began running from house to house

The sun, shining through the smoke that rose up from the tops of the trees, seemed blood-red and threw an unfamiliar bright light on everything.

I saw a line of green fire pass through the moving clouds and into the field to my left

We reached the woods at the foot of the hill and moved through these towards the road

As we ran, we heard the sound of horses and saw through the trees three soldiers riding towards Woking

Half-way through his report the officer interrupted him and looked at me.

I rushed through the water until I could see round the bend

Thick clouds of steam were pouring from the wreckage, and through it I could see its long legs and tentacles moving in the water.

Then I saw the four of them carrying the remains of the fallen one between them, now clear and then later faint through a curtain of smoke, moving away from me across a great space of river and fields

Then trains carrying large guns and many soldiers passed through the station, moving towards Kingston

All around him - in the rooms below, in the houses on each side and across the road, and all across London - people were rubbing their eyes and opening windows to stare out and ask questions, and getting dressed quickly as the first breath of the coming storm of fear blew through the streets

All through the night their tubes moved forwards

Before dawn the Black Smoke was pouring through the streets of Richmond

You can understand the wave of fear that swept through the greatest city in the world at dawn on Monday morning

After trying unsuccessfully to get onto a train at Chalk Farm my brother came out into the road, pushed through the hurrying lines of vehicles, and had the luck to be at the front of a crowd which was taking bicycles from a shop

He put a hole in its front tire while he was pulling it through the broken window, and cut his wrist, but he managed to get away on it

They were taken through Barnet and were more than a kilometer beyond the centre of the town before they could fight their way across to the other side of the road.

If the Martians had only wanted destruction, they could have killed the whole population of London on Monday, as it moved out slowly through the neighboring countryside

It is possible that many people stayed in their houses through Monday morning

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the thin remains of a cloud of Black Smoke was seen coming through London's Blackfriars Bridge

On Tuesday the three of them, still intending to get out to sea, drove through the busy country towards Colchester.

He got to his feet and saw to the right, less than a hundred metres away, the warship cutting through the water at full speed, throwing enormous waves out on either side.

A flame rose up through the steam and then the Martian began to fall over

All through this time I and the curate had been hiding in the empty house where we went to escape the Black Smoke

The Black Smoke moved slowly towards the river all through Monday morning, slowly getting nearer and nearer to us, coming at last along the road outside the house that hid us.

Everything was quiet through the afternoon and we started at about five o'clock along the blackened road to Sunbury.

We stood for a moment in terror, then ran through a gate behind us into a garden and hid in a corner until the stars were out.

We kept away from the road, moving through gardens and some areas full of trees

And then the light came, not through the window, which was filled with earth from the garden, but through a small hole that had been knocked in the wall

I stepped carefully through the broken plates that covered the floor.

The cylinder had gone right through it and made a large hole in the ground, much larger than the pit I had looked into in Woking

The hole was only big enough for one of us to look through, so I had to stop watching them for a time while he had his chance.

The arrival of a second fighting-machine made us move back out of the kitchen into the hall, because we were afraid that from that height the Martian might see us through the hole

The curate was watching through the hole when the first men were brought there

Then, through the noise of the machinery, came the faint sound of human voices.

Then, through a sort of glass plate, I saw the large, dark eyes of a Martian, and one of its tentacles appeared, moving in through the hole.

For a time it did not move, then it moved back through the door.

This made me feel a lot better, and the noise of the pump did not bring a tentacle in through the opening.

I went into the kitchen and saw its head looking in through the hole.

Slowly I made the opening larger and pushed myself through it

Here I moved through areas which had been totally destroyed and others which were totally undamaged; houses with their curtains and their doors closed

I lit no lamps, afraid that a Martian might come through that part of London looking for food in the night

Suddenly, I remembered the night I had watched through the telescope.

We talked like this through the early morning, and later came out of the bushes

I awoke to find that sad howling still in my ears: 'Ulla, ulla, ulla, ulla, ulla,' It was now getting dark, and after I had found some bread and cheese in the bar I walked on through the silent squares to Baker Street and so came at last to Regents Park

Far away, through a space in the trees, I saw a second Martian fighting-machine, as unmoving as the first, standing in the park near the Zoo

Men on bicycles rode through the countryside shouting the news to all.

The city we went through was dirty with the powder of the Black Smoke, despite two days of thunderstorms and rain.

Then I returned through the wood towards my home

I go out into the Byfleet Road, and vehicles pass me, a boy on a bicycle, children going to school - and suddenly they become strange and unreal, and I hurry on again with the soldier through the hot, dangerous silence

A lot of bad words fly through the air.

As Mercy puts the cover on her typewriter, the thought of the bus ride home goes through her like a pain

Beyond her, through the window, I could see Miss Fairlie walking in the moonlight.

Laura told me what had happened through the door

There I could hear the voices of Sir Percival and the Count through the open windows.

Perhaps he could escape through the window! I broke the glass, but then the flames jumped out of the open space.

I noticed that the man with the scar on his cheek ran through the crowd and followed Fosco out of the theatre.
