Sure enough, a few seconds later there came another surge.

Several seconds passed before a voice came on the line, a different voice this time.

The first of these can exist for several months, but then the second will come along, and I'll get dumped again.

Two seconds after the gun's report came a sound like a paper bag bursting.

Only seconds before more of them would be coming.

Like a fool the second had come running when he saw the other stop before the open door.

Seven seconds off the record, if you hadn't come barging in like that.

But to most people the second may come as a total surprise.

One minute and three seconds later, the Ryder truck came into view.

A second will come in from the west, across the lands of the Finance.
