She never knew it to fail in a single case." "I don't believe Miss West would EVER try to do that," cried Faith. "Mary says ANYBODY would. She knows ALL about stepmothers, Faith she says she's seen hundreds of them and you've never seen one. Oh, Mary has told me blood-curdling things about them.
And, Harriet, angel of angels, we will be about six or seven about the groaning board; is that all right?" "I told Bottomley six or seven," Harriet said, serenely. "Ward, get in or get out," she added, maternally, "don't hang over the door in that blood-curdling way!" She had put her arm about the boy to steady him; they began to discuss tennis scores with enthusiasm.

Close at hand, now, was a chance for a blood-curdling Alpine adventure. Close at hand was the snowy mass of the Great Altels cooling its topknot in the sky and daring us to an ascent.

We saw red heads bobbing up and down in the hut. The family of Namgay Doola were aiding their sire, and blood-curdling yells of defiance were the only answers to our prayers.

"There's really more to a sheriff's duties than that." "So I judged from Thompson's blood-curdling tales. I felt very anaemic and insignificant as I listened to him." "It doesn't hurt a gentleman to hold a minor political office, even in a tough parish. I think men ought to try themselves out and find what they are made of."
