间卧室里将一只杉木箱和一个双人床垫拖进了电视室。就在这时，一面墙壁被风刮倒了，提
等也被吹灭了。另外一面墙壁也在摇晃。查理•希尔试图用身自爱撑住它，但结果墙还是朝
他身上砸了下来，他的背部被砸伤了。在不停地颤动摇晃中，房子已离开地基25英尺。整
个世界似乎都要分崩离析了。
“让我们来把床垫竖起来！”约翰朝着父亲喊道，“可以斜靠着挡挡风。让孩子们躲到垫
子下面去，我们同头和肩膀把垫子顶住。”
大一点的孩子趴在地板上，小一点的压在大的身上，大人们都弯下身子罩住他们。地板
倾斜了。装着那一窝四只小猫的盒子从架上滑了下来，一下子就在风中消失了。斯普奇被从
一个嵌板书柜顶上刮走也不见踪影了，那只狗紧闭着双眼，缩成一团。又一面墙壁倒塌了。
水拍打着倾斜的地板。约翰抓住一扇还连在壁柜墙上的门，对他父亲大声叫道：“假若地板
塌了，咱们就把孩子们放到这块门板上面。”
