Worth pleaded with his assistants to hang on, and hung on himself, twisting the tooth till it crackled and then attempting a straightaway pull. Nor did any of them notice the little black man who limped up the steps and stood looking on. Koho was a conservative. His fathers before him had worn no clothes, and neither did he, not even a gee-string.
"Let's get these gangs settled first." George took a chair. He had no plan. He plunged wildly. "Gang A, gang B, gang C, gang D " Mr. Brunger stopped short in the midst of his note. "Why, that's four gangs!" The twisting of George's legs beneath the table was sympathetic with the struggles of his bewildered mind. He said desperately, "Well, there are four gangs."
"You mean Mr. Lindsay," she exclaimed, twisting her wedding-ring and its coral guard. "I hope I beg that you will not think me meddlesome or impertinent. I have the matter very much at heart. It seems to lie in my path. I must see it. Surely you perceive some way of averting the disaster in it!" "I'm sure I don't know what you refer to." Mrs. Sand's tone was prudish and offended.
And great beans lie about in piles, the contadini twisting them out of their thick pods with their thumbs, to eat them raw. Nay, even the signoria of the noble families do the same, as they walk through the gardens, and think them such a luxury that they eat them raw for breakfast.
And there it was, that terrible countenance, mirrored in the brightness of the shield, with the moonlight falling over it, and displaying all its horror. The snakes, whose venomous natures could not altogether sleep, kept twisting themselves over the forehead.
"Even Achilles could get it in the heel, but I'll swear I didn't believe the old man had a joint in his armor." Zeke stood twisting his hat, and when his employer was allowed to come to the surface, he spoke respectfully: "Mother said I was to bring word if you would like a late supper, sir." "Tell Mrs. Forbes that it will be only something light, if anything. She need not prepare."

"What mistake, sir?" Warde, twisting the paper, answered miserably "There has been an action, but not in Scaife's part of Africa. Beauregard's Horse were engaged and suffered severely.
It was full of long, ragged wisps of something which I can only compare to very fine cigarette smoke. It hung about in wreaths and coils, turning and twisting slowly in the sunlight. As the monoplane shot through it, I was aware of a faint taste of oil upon my lips, and there was a greasy scum upon the woodwork of the machine.

And the wind blows and rocks the little bed; and the mother sits at the foot of the tree singing a mild sweet song, and this brown baby falls asleep. Then the stars come out and peep through the leaves at her.
Well, he could stare back, and then blue eyes and brown confronted each other for some moments with unblinking defiance in their gaze. At last Teddy's patience gave way, and twisting up his little features into a most grotesque grimace, he mounted a hassock to give her the full benefit of it.
