The same jar flung Bob out and a second later he was hurtling through the foam-laden air over the edge of the fall.,Of what followed—the bestowing and graceful acceptance of the pretty purse with the hundred dollars, the congratulations and murmurs of surprise that ran about the assembly—Patricia had little knowledge.
