No community was so holy but that, through excess of zeal, over-inflamed by charity, it might nurture upon its bosom a fanged snake.
Now he stretched out his cord and pushed the peg into the earth as though it crossed a fox path, and made a motion of a fox walking along and touching his leg against the cord. To do this he took a long stick instead of using his own limb. Whang! went the klipsie, the fanged arm whirling over so fast that the eye could hardly follow it, and burying its points in the ground.
Certainly our coming had been expected, for there was very good yoghourt in ample quantity, and other food besides meat, bread, cheese, vegetables. When we had all eaten, and lay back against the stone wall looking at the fire, with great fanged shadows dancing up and down that made the scene one of almost perfect savagery, Gregor called again for Maga. Again she did not answer him.
As twilight fell the old bull stood with lowered head, watching his mates the cows he had known, the calves he had fathered, the bulls he had mastered as they shambled on at a rapid pace through the fading light. He could not follow, for before his nose leaped the merciless fanged terror that would not let him go.
The Prince was well aware, therefore, of the plots which were weaving against him. He had small faith in the great nobles, whom he trusted "as he would adders fanged," and relied only upon the communities, upon the mass of burghers. They deserved his confidence, and watched over his safety with jealous care.
Beyond that underground passage, it might be miles away, the victor would fling up on some fanged rock a shapeless mass that once had been a man. Ashton again turned his face to the rock and groaned. God had answered his prayer. Now must he pay the price. If only he could force himself to lie still while the rising waters brimmed up over the ledge and up over his head and face. He was tired tired!
They stared in silence, for their breath was gone at his audacity; but one horrid laugh exploded on the floor like a petard. Gerard looked down, and there was the dwarf, slit and fanged from ear to ear at his expense, and laughing like a lion. Nature, relenting at having made Giles so small, had given him as a set-off the biggest voice on record. His very whisper was a bassoon.
But this "procreant cradle" of a bird in the arms of the fanged desert growth softens its aspect a little. The tree of forbidden fruit the Tree of Knowledge how copiously has mankind eaten of it during these latter generations! and the chaotic state of the world to-day is the result. We have been forcing Nature's hand on a tremendous scale.
To you who mourn the master, called him friend, Beat back th' Athenian wolves who fanged his throat, And risked your own to save him Pericles I now unfold the manner of his end: The aged man, who found in sixty years Scant cause for laughter, laughed before he died, And died still smiling: Athens vexed him not! Not he, but your Athenians, he would say, Were banished in his exile!
When the trap was thus set it lay flat on the ground, and Skookie motioned the boys to keep away from it something which all were willing to do, for the barbed arm of the klipsie resembled nothing so much as a fanged serpent with its head back ready to strike a terrible blow. "Natives get caught in these traps sometimes," said Rob; "so the old trappers tell me.
