Alan glanced down and saw Rat, his pet and companion, squatting near Judy and flicking his beady little red eyes mischievously in the direction of the girl's bare skinny ankle. "He bit me," Judy complained, gesturing as if she were going to step on the little creature.
It occupied the whole rear of the stage, and from where I sat, looked like a solid wall of polished metal. But it had a wonderful function, for immediately in front of it, moving, speaking and gesturing, was the figure of a popular public lecturer, so life-like in appearance that I could scarcely be convinced that it was only a reflection.
He was startled by a driver beeping his horn and gesturing for him to also come into his blue three wheeled tuk-tuk taxi. The tuk-tuk was driving by with the last of a small group of foreigners who had straggled out of the train station later than he, but from the same train that he had.
Several rose in their seats gesturing to the two below. And Raf, thankful for their absorption, sped down to the manhole, discovering to his delight it could be readily opened from his side. As he edged it around, there was another sound below. This was no high-pitched fluting from aliens deprived of their sport, but a hissing nightmare cry.
The foremost of the Indians attempted the leap, but plunged to his death in the ravine. The Eagle Range was said to be the abode, two hundred years ago, of a man of strange and venerable appearance, whom the Indians regarded with superstitious awe and never tried to molest. He slept in a cave on the south slope and ranged the forest in search of game, muttering and gesturing to himself.

"What are you driving at, anyway?" Quigley stirred and rose. The assistant got to his feet. "Just a minute," said Waring, gesturing to them to sit down. "Donovan's got something on his mind.
The sergeant stooped among the unconscious soldiers, holding the candle close, and peering into each face. "Hello, Haines," said Billie. "Relief?" "Hello, Billie," said the sergeant. "Special duty." "Dan got to go?" "Jameson, Hunter, McCormack, D. Dempster. Yes. Where is he?" "Over there by the winder," said Billie, gesturing. "What is it for, Haines?"
In the waggons water there is none at least not enough to drown out a conflagration such as that threatened; and from the way the assailants are gesturing the traders can predict that ere long, a shower of fiery shafts will be sent into their midst. None of them but have knowledge sufficient to admonish them of what is intended.
He turned and beckoned a centurion of the guard. With his file of men he came on the double quick. "Seize that man!" the Emperor commanded. Two of the Pretorians gripped Calvaster by the elbows. "March him out there to the edge," came the next order, the Emperor gesturing towards the quay-front on his right. At the brink of the platform the Pretorians paused.
Nobody inside of the American lines ever learned what that shot had done, but if it failed to take a life it robbed Cortelyou of his mind. He spent the rest of his days in a single room, chained to a staple in the floor, tramping around and around, muttering and gesturing, and sometimes startling the passer-by as he showed his white face and ragged beard at the window.
