She looked at him as closely as her fevered sight permitted, and saw that he was shivering with excitement and his long face and downcast eyes contorting. She sat speechless, unable to comprehend him. "Madame Baroness," said he, "have you never wondered at your long escape from the perils of these times?
There on the eastern horizon, towards the north, almost down upon the hills, Ian saw a congeries of clouds in strangest commotion, such as he had never before seen in any home latitude a mass of darkly variegated vapours manifesting a peculiar and appalling unrest. It seemed tormented by a gyrating storm, twisting and contorting it with unceasing change.
Leroux leapt up and would have run to her; but forcing a ghastly smile, she waved him away again. "It is all right," she muttered, swallowing noisily. But frightful spasms of pain convulsed her, contorting her pale face. "Some brandy !" cried Leroux, anxiously. "If you please," whispered the visitor. She dropped her arms and fell back upon the chesterfield, insensible.

They have a disconcerting habit of contorting their faces, screwing round their necks or twitching their shoulders.

In making the tour of this grotto, contorting my body like a snake to get in and out among the ice-pillars, and do as little damage as might be, but yet, with all my care, accompanied by the incessant shiver and clatter of breaking and falling ice, I came to a hole in the ground, too dark and deep for one candle to show its depth; so I called to Christian to come in, thinking that two candles might show it better.
I tell ye right now that hobo that was a-bummin' roun' here t'other mornin's got nothin' on you fur sheer, blowed-in-th'-glass laziness." "Fwhat?" Slavin violently contorting his grim face into a horrible semblance of persuasive gallantry edged cautiously towards the irate dame much the same as a rough-rider will "So, ho, now!" and sidle up to a bad horse.
At the same moment Lon looked up and shouted a command: "Flea gal, Flea gal, come down here to me!" Flea dropped the hand of her brother, moved directly to the water's edge, and stood quietly until Lon chose to speak. Lem Crabbe's eyes devoured the slight young figure, his smile contorting the corners of his whiskered mouth.
