Then leaping to his feet the boy ran a short way along the ledge, to come stealing back, crouching low, as he whispered, "It come a creepin' and a creepin' towards Ollie, and he never knowed nothin' about it. But Matt he knowed, and God he knowed too." Wonderingly, the girl watched his movement.
I recollect seein' ole Maje, he's our principal tom-cat, seein' him creepin' along a rail fence nearly half a mile from the house so's he wouldn't have to cross a stretch o' wet ground jist outside the kitchen door. Now, a dog would have splashed right through it an' took the consequences.
"She came creepin' into my room this mornin' before she went, but me thinkin' she meant to give me a last call down I pretended t' be asleep, so she just sighed an' went creepin' out again an' wrote me this," and Spike drew a sheet of crumpled note paper from his pocket and handed it to Ravenslee, who read these words: Boy dear, I love you so much that if you destroyed my love, I think you would destroy me too.

"You seem to be a poet yourself," said the editor, with a patronizing smile. "I'm a lumberman, up in Mendocino," returned the stranger, with sublime naivete. "Got a mill there.
At first I thought the natter-list one o' the cruellest beggars as iver went on two long legs, for he used to go about everywhere pokin' pins through all the beetles an' flies an' creepin' things he could sot eyes on, an' stuck them in a box. But he told me he comed here a-purpose to git as many o' them as he could; so says I, 'If that's it, I'll fill yer box in no time.
There we wuz right in front of the Gole, and I don't believe there wuz a better-lookin' Gole sence the world begun. The minute we left the cars we found ourselves between two lines of wild-lookin' and actin' men, a-tryin' to sell us things we hadn't no need on. What did I want with a cane? or Josiah with a little creepin' beetle? And what did I want with galluses?
The inhabitants of Catcat drew as near as they dared, and gazed in open-mouthed amazement from Thunder to the Missing Link. "I'll teach you to come creepin' and sneakin' into a man's home, tryin' t' ruin his happiness," the Professor roared, and he made another dash at Nickie. The Missing Link slipped round the tree, and Madame Marve caught her husband, by the arm and dragged him hack.

We saw 'e'd got no rifle, and was in a tight clove-'itch, so we took the job on right there an' finished four of 'em; but it took some creepin' and crawlin'." "Well, we'll be quittin' this now," said the tall one.
Little fires creep, creep, creepin' on the ground," he moved his hands waveringly backward and forward as though to show the progress of the flames, "then put them out quick, so!" he stamped his foot on the ground. "Does he mean a forest fire, Rifle-Eye?" queried Wilbur, alert at the very mention of fire. "No, no, no," interrupted Ben; "little bit fires.
"An I'm allus thinkin," she said, with a passionate sob, "of that what he said about the drink. He'd allus bin a sober lad, till this lasst winter it did seem as though he cudna keep hiself from it it kep creepin on im an several times lately he'd broke out very bad, pay-days an he knew I'd been frettin. And who was ter blame I ast yo, or onybody who was it ter blame?"
