Nearer came the stealthy footsteps nearer.... Now the one who approached had turned the angle of the passage.... Within sight of my door he seemed to stop; a shaft of white light crept through the opening, across the floor and on to the wall beyond. A moment it remained so then was gone. The room became plunged in darkness.
Consult sketch and bend a right angle in foreleg-wire back of shoulder at such a point that shoulder will set in proper relation to head. One at a time, using the pliers, twist these foreleg-wire ends, after setting them through shoulder loop, tightly back along the body-wire. Next insert the hind legs into the skin.
Since Spurling had lain down, he had altered his position, so that now his body stretched across the entrance, with his head in the corner where the two walls met, forming an acute angle with the threshold so that, though he prevented the door from opening more than two or three inches, directly it was opened his person would be visible, and exposed to attack.
The square we had entered was perhaps one hundred yards or more in width, much overgrown with grass, and surrounded by buildings of mean and gloomy aspect. Six narrow and sordid streets debouched into it, two coming with parallel courses from the west, two from the east, and one entering at each eastern angle from the north and south.
But in imperfectly grown adults the jaw retains the infantile character, the short vertical portion necessarily implying the obtuse angle.

The decks were standing nearly at an angle of forty-five degrees, and the ship going like a mad steed through the water, the whole forward part of her in a smother of foam.
Twice she stopped exhausted, her back and her hands pressed against the walls of the trough angle for support. "Better give it up," he advised. "I'll not then." She smiled stubbornly as she shook her head. Presently her fingers touched the belt. Gordon edged forward an inch or two farther. "Put your hand through the loop and catch hold of the leather above," he told her.
There love held hate's climax, death, by the throat, extracted the sting, drew the fang tooth, and drained the poison sac underneath. Love's surgery. And the tinge of the tragedy remains in the Resurrection and Ascension in lingering scars. They are still in that face. It is a scale ascending from the first. In each is seen the one thing from a different angle.
If we turn now to the northwestern angle which formed the shore of the Roman province of Venetia, we find the coast line broken by at least seven streams, two of which are great rivers.
