Now let us go down the greasy, gliddery steps of David Street, between the diminutive dusky shops with open fronts where all kinds of queer things to eat and to wear are sold, and all sorts of craftsmen are at work making shoes, and tin pans, and copper pots, and wooden seats, and little tables, and clothes of strange pattern.
And so at last we gained the top, and looked forth the edge of the forest, where the ground was very stony and like the crest of a quarry; and no more trees between us and the brink of cliff below, three hundred yards below it might be, all strong slope and gliddery. And now far the first time I was amazed at the appearance of the Doones's stronghold, and understood its nature.
And yet like us all, when we swoon like us all, every day of our lives when we wake he is instinctively unwilling to be restored to the consciousness of this existence, and would be left dormant, if he could. Bob Gliddery returns with Pleasant Riderhood, who was out when sought for, and hard to find.
Two men led my mother down a steep and gliddery stair-way, like the ladder of a hay-mow; and thence from the break of the falling water as far as the house of the captain. And there at the door they left her trembling, strung as she was, to speak her mind. Now, after all, what right had she, a common farmer's widow, to take it amiss that men of birth thought fit to kill her husband.
"Hold on tight," gasped Jean, "put your arm over the canoe the other side!" Alden, half dazed, obeyed him. The torrent carried the dancing, slippery bark past another point. Just below it, there was a little eddy. "Now," cried Jean; "the back-water strike for the land!" They touched the black, gliddery rocks.

'You Bob Gliddery, said Miss Abbey to this pot-boy, 'run round to Hexam's and tell his daughter Lizzie that I want to speak to her. With exemplary swiftness Bob Gliddery departed, and returned. Lizzie, following him, arrived as one of the two female domestics of the Fellowship Porters arranged on the snug little table by the bar fire, Miss Potterson's supper of hot sausages and mashed potatoes.
Always well disposed to assist the constituted authorities, Miss Abbey bade Bob Gliddery attend the gentlemen to that retreat, and promptly enliven it with fire and gaslight.

'What is it, Tootle? demanded Miss Abbey. 'It's a foreign steamer, miss, run down a wherry. 'How many in the wherry? 'One man, Miss Abbey. 'Found? 'Yes. He's been under water a long time, Miss; but they've grappled up the body. 'Let 'em bring it here.
