A few tenacious sinews kept it rocking-nose to chest-from the trunk for two succeeding blows before it departed, rolling down between the European's legs and coming to rest at Tom's feet.

Some twenty feet off the ground, the many sinews of fire that held the form broke apart, orange tendrils soaring every which way, and as they reached their limits, exploded with deafening bangs, throwing showers of sparks far and wide.
Примерно в двадцати футах над землей упряжка и экипаж взорвались оранжевыми огненными щупальцами, разлетелись в разные стороны, а затем вспыхнули с оглушительным треском, выбросив огромные фонтаны искр.

As a desert-town boy, I was raised in fierce dry heat, which does not distract, but tends either to enervate or to toughen the sinews of the mind and focus thought.
Я родился и вырос в городке, расположенном в пустыне, поэтому привык к сухой жаре, которая не отвлекает, а, наоборот, способствует ясности мыслей.
