A little thin warmth began to creep up through the boards and play about her legs. She was carried along under her dark rug for another twenty minutes, then fell against the seat as the car turned sharply into the forsaken road that led to the broken bridge. In five minutes more the car had stopped and Alfred was at the door saying: "At last, mademoiselle!"
Scorpions live in rotten tree-trunks, under stones, on walls, and as they like warmth they often enter houses and huts, and creep into clothes and beds. The scorpion leaves his dark den at night and sets out on the hunt. He holds his tail turned up over his back, in order to keep his sting from injury and to be ready at once for attack or defence.
But on further acquaintance one finds that the language is as superficial as the dirt with which they cannot fail to be covered, since they are always walking in a cloud of dust. My friend on this occasion was apostrophising his horses with oaths that made my flesh creep, to help them up a steep hill. The top reached, he petted and soothed his team in most quaint language.
I know the very perfume of her hair ... it seems to creep into my blood ... it intoxicates me ... it chokes me! ..." He sprang up with a fierce gesture, then after a minute's pause sat down again, and again stared at the floor. The gay music from the ball-room danced towards him on the air in sweet, broken echoes, he heard nothing and saw nothing. "My God!" he said at last, under his breath.
He had got to find a place to spend the night. He hobbled along, for he was very stiff and sore, until he came to the edge of the Green Meadows, where they meet the Green Forest. Jolly, round, red Mr. Sun was almost ready to go down to his bed behind the Purple Hills. Shadows were already beginning to creep through the Green Forest.
Then, in the shadowy corners of his bedroom, devils began to stir, and creep about, uneasily, waiting for their victim's nightly attendance at his own torture, where he was set upon in some one of their hundred ways.
He saw me, and kept making short flights from point to point in a great circle five miles, perhaps, and always in the open evidently loath to abandon his feast to the crows; while I followed with growing wonder and respect, trying every device of the still hunter to creep within range. That was the same owl which I last saw at dusk, flying straight out to sea among the gulls.
You will only have to creep up the bed of the Münzbach. No one will take any notice of a slight youth like you. Conrad then received from his stepfather a folded and sealed paper, on which was written in large letters the word 'Safe-Conduct. Underneath were several more words, but as they were all in Swedish the boy could make nothing out of them.
These sounds proceeded from the north side of the house, and the four boys promptly and silently evacuated the ruin over the south wall. "Run for the peat-stack," Harry whispered; and when they were crouching behind it he said briefly, "It's all up. That was Mr. Neeven. We must creep round to the knowes, and then make tracks for our boat."
It seemed for once to consider discretion the better part of valour, and an open space appearing on one side, we had the satisfaction of seeing it creep more rapidly, and then bound away into the distant part of the forest. We had no other adventure of importance till we reached the foot of the hill, up which we wound our way.
