Jeff's face was white.
"You son of a bitch," he shouted.
He hit Tom squarely on the jar.
The glass of whiskey fell onto the floor
and broke into several pieces.
Whiskey oozed into the blue gray carpet.

Tom grabbed a bottle of Russian vodka and
threw it at Jeff. The bottle hit one of the silver
candlesticks on the mantle and broke into many pieces,
splattering vodka and fragments of glass
down the front of the marble fireplace.

Louise picked up the phone.
