There is much coiling and hissing, but the fangs of the ser-pent are much less prompt and effective than of old. The wide Calle Mayor brings you in a moment out of these mouldy shadows and into the broad light of nowadays which shines in the Puerta del Sol. Here, under the walls of the Ministry of the Interior, the quick, restless heart of Madrid beats with the new life it has lately earned.
Here is some warm water ready for you, mamma," Gwendolen ended, proceeding to take off her own dress and then waiting to have her hair wound up by her mamma. There was silence for a minute or two, till Mrs. Davilow said, while coiling the daughter's hair, "I am sure I have never crossed you, Gwendolen." "You often want me to do what I don't like." "You mean, to give Alice lessons?" "Yes.
Right your helm, my lad; give her a spoke or two, if you find she wants it, as she gathers way, and then keep her `full and by. Now, lads, never mind about coiling up just now; you can do that after we have attended to the prisoners; come forward and open the weather galley-door, and as the Frenchmen pass out, seize them and lash their hands and heels together."
"Yes," said the officer, without looking around. Sara was a little taken aback, but he looked so conceited, as he stood there coiling and uncoiling his watch-spring tongue, that she suddenly felt herself growing quite provoked. "That isn't the right answer," she said. The Butterfly-Officer turned his lazy eyes and looked her over for some time without speaking.
He's wild as blazes!" he yelled as a bullet hummed high above his head and struck sharply against the rock wall. "Yes," Red replied, coiling the rope. "I was trying to rope that rock over there. If I could anchor to that, the current would push us over quick. But it's too far with this wind blowing." "We can't do nothing here 'cept get plugged.
Dare only to believe in yourselves in yourselves and in your inward parts! He who doth not believe in himself always lieth. A God's mask have ye hung in front of you, ye "pure ones": into a God's mask hath your execrable coiling snake crawled. Verily ye deceive, ye "contemplative ones!"
The pillars of these verandas at the rear of the house were connected by a network of wires, and trained up the pillars and branching over the wires were coiling twisting vines of wisteria as large as Gabriella's neck.
I was six months aboard a Garnsey lugger, hauling in the slack of the lee-sheet and coiling up rigging. From that I went a few trips in a fore-and-after, in the same trade, which, after all, was but a blind kind of sailing in the dark, where a man larns but little, excepting how to steer by the stars.
By this time the sight of a coiled rope made me jumpy and I dreamed of snakes writhing, coiling, moving in undulating lines. At noon one day I was alone, making up the paper. I stood at the form table working, when I turned abruptly. A snake's slimy head was thrust through a big knothole in the floor. Its beady eyes held me for a moment, as they are said to hypnotize a bird.
The frank proofs of his own relations with this churchyard would not only do credit to his own reputation, but would gratify the best friends of Mademoiselle Joliet and at least one other lady. To attain these proofs he had to step over the coiling, writhing bodies of a whole nest of rumors.
