"Let's go," said Davison, leaning over to pick up the spool. "The air is beginning to stink around here." Red-faced, Roger stepped forward and put his foot on the spool just as Davison reached for it. "That's enough, Davison," he snarled. "Why, you dirty space crawler " Davison straightened up and swung wildly.
He had already sighted that black and silver ground car himself. And he was only too keenly conscious of the nasty threat of the snub nosed weapon mounted on its hood, now pointed straight at the oncoming, too deliberate Traders' crawler. Then he saw what he believed would be their only chance to play once more the same type of trick as Rip had used to earth them safely.
"I hate to think of his not pulling through from this snakebite." "What became of the reptile that did the trick?" asked Mr. Thurston. "That crawler will never bite anything else," muttered Rutter. "I got the thing with my riding quirt."
Any one who has the nerve to look it between the eyes may uncover its pretense. For by this token may be known the real Crotalids from the mock: a small but distinct pit between eye and nostril. Lacking this mark, no ventral crawler in the land of the free need cause a flutter in the most timid breast, with one notable exception.
"Please, sir, Nancy Toomey has been calling you a carroty-headed crawler." Tommy's eyebrows were raised, his eyes and mouth wide open. Philip looked over his head at Nancy, whose face was on fire. He slowly repeated: "Nancy Toomey has been calling me a carroty-headed crawler, has she?" "Yes, sir. That's what she called you. I heard her." "Well, Tommy, go to your seat like a good boy.
Petitot to live in his house, lie warm in his bed, sneer at his memory across the table that had been his, rule in the Council where he had been first! Petitot, that miserable crawler who had clogged his efforts for years, who had shared, without deserving, his honours, who had spied on him and carped at him day by day and hour by hour! Petitot to succeed him!
"All right, you little space crawler," growled Astro, "start talking!" "Take it easy, Astro," said Tom. "How do you expect him to talk when you've got him around the Adam's apple!" "Yeah, you big ape," said Roger in a slow drawl. "Find out what he has to say before you twist his head off!" Astro released the man, pushing him against the cab door and pinning him there.
Loring turned to the cadet. "Have you forgotten that you're wanted by the Solar Guard? You give that bunch down there a chance and they'll make you a space crawler on prison rock!" "Why I " stammered Roger. He knew what Loring had said was the truth. If it was Connel, there would be no question what would happen to him. He faced Loring. "What will you do to them?"
He was real rightdown sorry for me, I could tell, though Jim and I used to laugh at him, and call him a regular old crawler of a milker's calf in the old days. The tears came into his eyes reg'lar like a woman as he gave my hand a squeeze and turned his head away. We was little chaps together, you know. A man always feels that, you know.
They moan, passing upon the clouds, horned and capricorned, the trumpeted with the tusked, the lionmaned, the giantantlered, snouter and crawler, rodent, ruminant and pachyderm, all their moving moaning multitude, murderers of the sun. Onward to the dead sea they tramp to drink, unslaked and with horrible gulpings, the salt somnolent inexhaustible flood.
