He had begun to speak, as he always did when they were alone, in a thick whisper, as if they were doing something unlawful together. He had drawn near to her, as he always did, and was hunching his shoulders and making wriggling recessive movements such as a man might make who stood in darkness among moving pollutions. But his glee had gone.
Somebody ought to," she said quietly. Then gathering up her hat and coat she went into her own apartments. Mortimer picked up a cheap magazine, looked over the portraits of the actresses, then, hunching up into a comfortable position, settled himself to read the theatrical comment.
A cold draught blew open the door and set the candle guttering. "Oh, I'm so COLD!" Susan said, hunching herself like a sick chicken. The rest of the evening became family history.
At once I turned my attention that way. After minute scrutiny I at length made out a monkey. Evidently considering himself quite unobserved, he was slowly and with great care stalking our camp. Inch by inch he moved, taking skilful advantage of every bit of cover, flattening himself along the limbs, hunching himself up behind bunches of leaves, until he had gained a big limb directly overhead.
I charge him with assault on Jim Hoden and attempted robbery if not murder. Snell had a shady past here, as the court will know if it keeps a record." Then I saw Snell hunching down on a bench, a nerveless and shaken man if there ever was one. He had been a hanger-on round the gambling dens, the kind of sneak I never turned my back to.
"Nice for a woman walking 'cross lots, wouldn't it be?" "Bring 'em out!" said the yellow horse, hunching his sharp back. "There's no chance among them tall trees. Bring out the oh! Ouch!"

Teddy, deceived by his mother's dispassionate tone, gave Wallace a warm little smile, embellished by bread and milk. "I guess you've been wondering where I was?" ventured Wallace, rubbing one big bare foot with the other, and hunching his shoulders in his disreputable wrapper. Unshaven, unbrushed, he gave a luxurious yawn. "No matter!" Martie said, shrugging.
Upon these he put a check would not dwell upon them; but their influence none the less proved strong enough to breed in him a resistless restlessness and keep him tramping up and down a five-yard stretch of comparatively solid earth: to and fro, stamping his feet to keep his blood circulating, lugging both guns, one beneath either arm, hunching his shoulders up about his ears in thankless attempt to prevent wet flakes from sifting in between his neck and collar thus, interminably it seemed, to and fro, to and fro....
Up goes the arm; bang! tumbles out the flat roll and turns half a dozen somersets, as if for the fun of the thing; the six yards of calico hurry over the measuring nails, hunching their backs up, like six cankerworms; out jump the scissors; snip, clip, rip; the stuff is wisped up, brown papered, tied, labelled, delivered, and the man is himself again, like a child just come out of a convulsion-fit.
