"They have not winded him yet. Let them breathe. I must tell Shere Khan who comes. We have him in the trap." He put his hands to his mouth and shouted down the ravine it was almost like shouting down a tunnel and the echoes jumped from rock to rock. After a long time there came back the drawling, sleepy snarl of a full-fed tiger just wakened.
She went out, her run down slippers flapping on the stair, and Dan, as he ate his ham and bread, listened impatiently to the drawling voice of Jack Hicks, who discussed the condition of the country while he drew apple cider from a keg into a white china pitcher. As he talked, his fat face shone with a drowsy good-humour, and his puffed lids winked sleepily over his expressionless blue eyes.
The judge continued his interrogation. "Well, then, Mme. Brument, they came into your house and threw you into a barrel full of water. Tell us the details. Stand up." She rose. She looked as tall as a flag pole with her cap which looked like a white skull cap. She said in a drawling tone: "I was shelling beans. Just then they came in. I said to myself, 'What is the matter with them?
He just turned his narrow bony face and gave me a glance with his keen gray eyes. "I've known your work for quite a while," he said in a low drawling voice, "Joe says you're thinking of writing me up." So this was why Joe had sent for me.

I was feeling a little sick, nevertheless, and standing by the tire with one foot on the fender, when Lord Raa came up to me at the end, and said in his drawling voice: "So it's done." "Yes, it's done," I answered. After a moment he talked of where we were to live, saying we must of course pass most of our time in London.
"The mere mention of graft puts me to instant flight," she remarked. "And naturally even the suggestion of a crime is equally repugnant to you," Mrs. Clephane observed. "'As a general proposition," Mrs. Spencer quoted. "And general propositions are best proved by exceptions, n'est-ce pas?" was the quick yet drawling answer. The two women's eyes met. "I trust, Mrs.
She heard the big genial voice with the roll of Scotch-Canadian drawling out its r's, and the child's thin "Yes, Sor, m' Faather;" then the child burst into a joyous laugh. Eleanor wondered what he could have said to elicit that laugh. When she glanced back, the old frontiersman had Lizzie standing on his outstretched hand holding to a branch overhead peering in a deserted hawk's nest.
The air was filled with them, flying above and around the tree; a perfect cloud of the little creatures hovering directly over the hole, as if to guard its treasure.
