she was moving, in sickening swings and surging lifts and terrible,
terrible falling, fallingOh God, don't let me die! I

see anything through the water that kept hitting her face, glazing and
stinging her eyesShe opened her mouth to answer and at once it
was

and blew the water from her mouthIf only her teeth would be still!
