yet heavy and dull, as though the knocker had been tied up--more
like a puff than a knock.
"It must be the wind," said Gluck; "nobody else would
venture to knock double knocks at our door."
No, it wasn't the wind; there it came again very hard, and,
what was particularly astounding, the knocker seemed to be in a
hurry and not to be in the least afraid of the consequences. Gluck
went to the window, opened it, and put his head out to see who it was.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from U. S. Project Trinity Report by Carl Maag and Steve Rohrer: The military police of Guard Post 8 remained at that post, 400 meters

An evacuation detachment of between 144 and 160 officers and enlisted
men was stationed near Guard Post 2, about 14 kilometers northwest of
ground zero. These men were on standby in case ranches and towns
beyond the test site had to be evacuated. Five radiological safety
monitors were assigned to this detachment. Ninety-four men of the
evacuation detachment belonged to Provisional Detachment Number 1,
Company "B," of the 9812th Technical Service Unit, Army Corps of
Engineers, from LASL. The identity of the remaining evacuation
personnel has not been documented (3; 4; 8; 10; 15).

Will ever blight these blossoms. For every ell
I paid a piece of gold. Red gold, and good,
The fruit of careful thrift.
GUIDO. Honest Simone,
Enough, I pray you. I am well content;
