Then swiftly changing his shape, in the likeness of a hedgehog, he would lie tumbling in Caliban's way, who feared the hedgehog's sharp quills would prick his bare feet. With a variety of suchlike vexatious tricks Ariel would often torment him, whenever Caliban neglected the work which Prospero commanded him to do.
"Well, he was telling me there was no parish in Holland where the devil hath such power as at Gouda; and among his instances, says he, 'We had a hermit, the holiest in Holland; but being Gouda, the devil came for him this week, and took him, bag and baggage; not a ha'porth of him left but a goodish piece of his skin, just for all the world like a hedgehog's, and a piece o' old iron furbished up."
Coventry, better informed, darted at once to Little's quarters, and there beheld an awful sight; the roof presented the appearance of a sieve: of the second floor little remained but a few of the joists, and these were most of them broken and stood on and across each other, like a hedgehog's bristles.
It was a painter; and the mate of the one I had killed! "I thought of my gun, but I hadn't re-loaded. I felt for aminition, and there was only one single charge left!

Its fangs closed strongly, but failed to get a grip, and the smooth underside of its throat glanced past the hedgehog's slanting prickles with such force that the whole body of the snake was lifted from the ground, and fell, like a bent arrow, about a yard behind its foe.
But I've seen that you're brave, and that's already more than half of a Frenchman." He held out his hand. Termite took it, pretending to be little impressed by the honor. When he returned to us he said, while his hand rummaged his hedgehog's beard, "That poor lad I don't know why p'raps it's stupid but I was thinking of his mother." We looked at him with a sort of respect.
