Get the horses out." But no one seemed to do anything, for the Italian went on crying for help.

I heard a number of people who were standing near us say that it had just been found out that several persons who had been sleeping in the top of the hotel had not got out.

Here in the street we could see no one at the upper windows, for smoke was pouring from them.
The air was very hot and heavy and I didn't wonder that Charlie Montague felt ill.
