He was just about to do this, when suddenly the crawly thing made a sort of jump toward him, and before the rabbit could move he found himself grasped by a big, ugly snake, who wrapped himself around the rabbit just as ladies wrap their fur around their necks in the winter. It wasn't the elephant's trunk at all, but a bad snake.
"Think twice before you do that," advised the woman. "Why?" asked Io, struck by the tone. "Crawly things," replied Miss Van Arsdale sententiously. "Big, hungry ones," added Banneker. He could almost feel the little rippling shudders passing across the girl's delicate skin. "Oh, I think you're loathly!" she cried. "Both of you." Tears of vexation made lucent the shadowed depths of her eyes.
"Are we nearly to the gold?" asked Uncle Wiggily after a bit. "Almost," answered the snake, making his voice soft and gentle. The snake was nearly at his den now, and he was just going to turn around and squeeze the rabbit to death, when all at once a yellow bumblebee that was flying overhead looked down and saw the crawly creature, and the bee knew what the snake was going to do.
After all, there was a hero rising out of the ruins of the anti-climax. The look on Givens's face would have secured him a high position in the S.P.C.A. "I always loved 'em," said he; "horses, dogs, Mexican lions, cows, alligators " "I hate alligators," instantly demurred Josefa; "crawly, muddy things!" "Did I say alligators?" said Givens. "I meant antelopes, of course."
The passage proved to be smooth, and, to Norah's relief, quite dry and free from those "creepy, crawly animals" which were the only things about which she was really nervous. But Rex was wrong in thinking that it might improve in height, for it grew ever narrower and lower as they progressed, until at times they were obliged to bend almost double.
It makes one feel crawly even to think of it. The Savior was represented as a lad of about fifteen years of age. This figure had lost one eye. In this sordid place, and clothed, bedded, and fed like a pauper, this strange princess lived and worshiped during two years, and in it she died.
And besides all the creepy, crawly things that swarmed down in the golden-brown depths and made your hair stand on end when your bare feet touched the water, there were thousands of frightful leggy things that wore skates and ran swiftly at you right over the surface.
I'd kill you in a second if it were Roger; he's dirty and he's thoroughly bad. But Nerado's a good enough old scout, in his way. He's big and he's clean. You know, I could really like that fish, if I could meet him on terms of equality sometime?" "I couldn't!" she declared, vigorously. "He's crawly and scaly and snaky; and he smells so ... so...." "So rank and fishy?" Costigan laughed deeply.
P'licemen and Indian chiefs, and oh, heaps of things, and I didn't really mind 'em, either, but then I'm braver than " "Sh!" interrupted Ann, stopping and catching at Rudolf's arm. "I hear something something queer. Listen!" Rudolf listened. "I don't hear anything," he said at last. "What was it like?" "Oh, such a creepy, crawly sound, and Oh, Ruddy there is a face see it?
It seems like an age since you went to town and oh, Anne, how did you get along?" "Pretty well, I think, in everything but the geometry. I don't know whether I passed in it or not and I have a creepy, crawly presentiment that I didn't. Oh, how good it is to be back! Green Gables is the dearest, loveliest spot in the world." "How did the others do?"
