The figures, set in motion by the same machinery which grinds the incomprehensible overture, perform a drama equally incomprehensible. At the left-hand corner is Daniel in the lion's den, the lion opening his mouth in six-eight time, and an angel with outspread wings, but securely transfixed through the loins by a revolving brass pivot, shutting it again to the same lively movement.
Seer Marcous " she said after a little pause and then stopped. "Yes?" "I am going to have a baby." She said it in the old, childlike way, oblivious of difference of sex; with her little foreign insistence on the final consonants. I glanced hurriedly at her. The fact was obvious. She stood with her hands helplessly outspread. The pathos of her would have wrung the heart of a devil.
It lay there, a mighty whole, outspread at his feet, with palaces, churches, and factory chimneys rising above the mass of houses. Down in the street flowed a black, unending stream, a stream of people continually renewed, as though from a mighty ocean that could never be exhausted.
Time was taken to impress the outspread picture it afforded lastingly on the memory, for we could not reasonably expect to ever behold it again.
A row of hair-pins protruded sharply from between his tightly closed lips; a tortoise-shell back-comb, dangling from one side of his full beard where he placed it for safety, made this amateur hairdresser a disturbing sight both for gods and men. With legs well braced and far apart, his arms high lifted like outspread wings, he wielded the comb after the manner of a man raking hay.
To which of the gulfs did he nod his head? His dizzy revery lasted all night long.

They are never ragged; there is a certain decorous restraint in the freest outspread of their branches, though they spread wider than any self-nurturing tree; they are tall, vigorous, bulky, with a look of age-long life, and a promise of more years to come, all of which will bring them into closer kindred with the race of man.
From his pocket Dunn took out the handkerchief of hers that he had found near the body of the dead man. "Is this yours?" he asked. "Yes," she answered. "Yes, where did you get it?" He did not answer, but he lifted his hands one after the other, and put them on her shoulder, with the fingers outspread to encircle her throat.
Loketh turned back and side against these to climb, his outspread hand flattened on the stone as if it possessed adhesive qualities to steady him. For the first time his twisted leg was a disadvantage. Ross counted again ten, fifteen of those steps, bringing them once more into darkness.
