There's a varmint of some kind!" Elnora ran into the sitting-room and thrust the heavy kitchen towel into her mother's hand. Mrs. Comstock swung open the screen door and struck at some object, Elnora tossed the hair from her face so that she could see past her mother. The girl screamed wildly. "Don't! Mother, don't!" Mrs. Comstock struck again. Elnora caught her arm. "It's the one I want!
During the absorbingly interesting conversation, Ziffak stated that his object in coming from the other side was to reach the camp of the whites at the same time that an attack was made by the Aryks who so cunningly used the floating logs and trees as a screen to hide their approach. He preferred his course to that of accompanying them.
When she pressed a button, a recorded voice said, "Fwoonk." An instant later, a pattern of vertical lines in various colors and lengths was projected on the screen. "Those green lines," she said.

We looked on these bright patches through the interspaces of a great carved screen: but when I would have pressed into the chapel for a better view, Felipe took me by the collar. "Business first," said he, and pointed up the staircase, which mounted steeply again after its break by the chapel doors.
This he soon did; the King having taken a good look at the man of whom he had heard so much from behind a screen directed him to be well mounted, and to ride behind him at a little distance, guarded, but not bound in any way.
Holding the curtain between the window and himself, Moor peeped through the semi-transparent screen, enjoying the little episode immensely.
