Turner had gone to the right, taking the path that led down the river to the old quay and the village. Whereas Barebone must turn his back on Farlingford to reach the farm which still crouches behind a shelter of twisted oaks and still bears the name of Maiden's Grave; though the name is now nothing but a word. For no one knows who the maiden was, or where her grave, or what brought her to it.
He has a cord round his waist, and crouches at her feet in an attitude of supplication. The other hands of the goddess hold, on her right side, a double hook or small anchor, a broad straight sword, and a noose of thick cord; on her left, a girdle or armlet of large beads or shells, an unstrung bow, and a standard or war flag.
Nearing the second rock now the figure crouches down and steps a little back. A sudden shock, a crash his pole has broken, and the blue shirt disappears in the rapids. "Look! Right down there! He'll never get ashore this time." The onlookers crowd together, straining to see. The blue shirt comes into view for a moment. "He'll never do it 'tis right out in midstream."
Turning his body sideways to the enemy, the warrior crouches behind his shield, keeping up a continuous capering, rushing forward or dancing backward, seeking for an opening but seldom coming to close quarters. Arrows and spears are glanced off with the shield.
Either he cries out upon blasphemy and indecency, and crouches the closer round that little idol of part-truth and part-conveniences which is the contemporary deity, or he is convinced by what is new, forgets what is old, and becomes truly blasphemous and indecent himself.

Let us fly, lest he tear us." And the speaker laughed. "That is not his voice! He is afraid; he crouches like the panther in the trap, trembling. His strength has gone from him." "I heard a lion was in the plains, and the cows ran together in a cluster, for they were afraid."
The flower-women awake, and, when one of them asks with a yawn what is happening, the woman who keeps the cafe that crouches at the corner of the bridge answers coolly: "A woman just jumped into the river." But no. The river has refused to take that child. It has been moved to pity by so great gentleness and charm.
And this they plan to rule our world with their Shining Devil." The Norseman was silent for a moment; then voice deep, trembling "Trolldom is awake; Helvede crouches at Earth Gate whining to be loosed into a world already devil ridden! And we are but three!" I felt the blood drive out of my heart. But Larry's was the fighting face of the O'Keefes of a thousand years.
