ET- Dog Tail Whip

  He pushed Harvey aside.

  The dog up-gravitied and came down two steps to the right, just as Mary came back in with an armful of flowers.

  Harvey leaped in front of E.T., and whipped his tail with much force. E.T. had one foot off the floor, eager to go forward; off balance in this way, and half crocked or more, he was knocked across the hall by the swiping tail, and through an open doorway.

  Harvey again assumed the beg-posture, knees killing him, but holding it anyway, as Mary stopped, covered in blossoms and seeing nothing.
