"Gracious heaven!" interjected Nick. "Yes, you may laugh. I do myself." Daisy Musgrave spoke almost fiercely notwithstanding. "She's years older than I am anyhow, and I shall score some day if I don't now. Have you ever watched her dance? There's a sort of snaky, coiling movement runs up her whole body. Goodness!" breaking off abruptly. "I'm getting venomous myself.
Well, I found you out, and a jolly good thing too. All I have to say is now, be off, and the quicker the better!" Then Da Souza cringed no longer, and there shot from his black eyes the venomous twinkle of the serpent whose fangs are out. He leaned over the table, and dropped his voice. "I speak," he said, "for my wife, my daughter, and myself, and I assure you that we decline to go!"
On either side the cliffs loomed above him; in places they were so close together that he could have tossed a pebble from one to the other. There was no sign of life; no sound, no movement. But this tall lean rider knew that somewhere among those granite pinnacles which stood out against the sky-line before him and on either side, scores of venomous black eyes were watching him.
What is the case that perplexes your eye of physician, which is usually keener than mine, despite all the length of my practice?" "The sufferer is young, his organization rare in its vigour. He has gone through and survived assaults upon life that are commonly fatal. His system has been poisoned by the fangs of a venomous asp, and shattered by the blast of the plague.

He would have liked to take the fork and chase her out through the gate, but it was not well to expose one's self to her venomous tongue.
He is terribly malicious, human in shape, and though not quite white, is decidedly lighter in complexion than the chief god of the Southern Tschwi, Bobowissi. His hair is lank, and he carries a native sword and wears a long robe. He uses as his weapons lightning, tempest, and disease, but the last is the most favourite one. There is absolutely no trick too mean or venomous for Tando.
O Bharata, he that eateth anything relating to the tirtha of Maninaga, if bitten by a venomous snake, doth not succumb to its poison. Residing there for one night, one is cleansed of one's sins. Then should one proceed to the favourite wood of the Brahmarshi Gautama. There bathing in the lake of Ahalya, one attaineth to an exalted state.
Just as I put my foot upon the bridge I saw a figure approaching me, coming from the opposite direction. I recognized it instantly. It was the lady herself. She must have seen me at the very same moment, for she halted dead with the abruptness of one faced with a sudden danger, an opened precipice, or a venomous snake under foot.
He did not mention Bismarck by name; he spoke instead of a certain bogey. He snatched the halo from his head, swore that he would some day unmask him and show the people that he was a traitor, branded his fame as a tissue of lies, his deeds as the disgrace of the century. The venomous and eloquent hatred of the pudgy little man inflamed the minds that drank in his oratory.
