She was almost as excited as Pixie herself, craning forward to peer out of the windows, counting breathlessly the long line of lights, and reflecting that she had not sufficiently realised the grandeur of the household, to which she was coming.

The Osservatore Romano wishes that the ship specially chartered to take it to America, may sink with all on board. All of which kind and charitable wishes on the part of the Vatican press have so augmented the fame of 'The Coming of Christ' that the picture could hardly be got through the crush of people craning their necks to get a glimpse of it.
"Now we mustn't be afraid of him, just because he seems to be intelligent," declared our hostess. This sally was greeted with spasmodic laughter. Her eyes flitted from bench to bench, yet met nothing save averted glances. "Jock! Where are you, Jock? Why don't you speak up? you've never been downed before." More laughter, and craning of necks for the Jocks.

"Then, by thunder, I will initiate you into the mysteries of a javelin-end, and your blood be on your head." The Martians were all craning their necks in hushed eagerness as I turned to the casting-place, and, poising the javelin, faced the magician. Would he run at the last moment?

Peggy, too, was craning her neck for a better view. "They're thick as thieves," she said, with a dubious shake of her head. "I guess he likes 'er," chuckled Lafe.

Mephisto and Faust were forgotten until Jake struck a heroic pose, and grasping Billy's arm, said hoarsely: "Gaze, Faustis, gaze into pairdition!"
He went out at the open door intending to close it and bid her good-night. But he did not do so, just then; for his attention as an observer of nature was arrested by the unusual conduct of certain animals. Gannets and other sea-birds were running about the opposite wood and craning their necks in a strange way. He had never seen one enter that wood before.
