They all raced around the house and began to climb the sheer, rocky hill that rose straight up from the rear. "Here, Jim, help me with these kiddies," said Jane to a lank lad of fifteen, whom she ran into at the corner of the house just where the climb began.
At the turning of the road a man appeared. At the sight of Judas he halted, then called him excitedly by name. “It is Mathias,” Judas muttered, and got to his feet. The man hurried to them. He was broad of shoulder and of girth, the jaw lank and earnest. His eyes were small, and the lids twitched nervously. He was out of breath, and his garments were dust-covered.
His scarlet sheathings of garmentry lay upon a black oaken stool, trailing across the floor lank and hideous, one of the cuffs which had been but recently dyed a darker hue making a wet sop upon the boards. All this I had seen many a time before.
"No; I shall go with you," she said; and knowing that every moment was precious, and thinking that the only way to pacify her was to make the attempt, the men yielded, and a number of them entered the mine with her, the lank preacher among them. They had just reached the bottom when the faint outline of something black was seen in the glimmer that their lights threw in the distance.
One of Johnny's favourite feats was to march Yank and me up to a bar, face us, and interrogate us according to an invariable formula. We must have presented a comical sight I with my great bulk and round, fresh face alongside the solemn, lank, and leathery Yank; both of us drawn up at attention, and solemn as prairie dogs.

Because by your hasty act you deny the public the elevating and improving spectacle of a legal execution!" When the applause had died out, a lank countryman craning his neck for a sight of the sheriff, bawled out over the heads of the crowd: "Where's your nigger? We want to put him in here!" "I reckon he's gone fishin'. I never seen the beat of that nigger to go fishin'," said the sheriff.
Im no liar, good woman, when I say that I saw that ship jump from the top of one sea to another, just like one of these squirrels that can fly jumps from tree to tree. What! clean out of the water? exclaimed Remark able, lifting her two lank arms, with their bony hands spread in astonishment.
Lank, gray wolves appeared on all sides; they prowled about with hungry howls, and shoved black-tipped noses through the grass. The sun sank, and the sky paled to opal blue. A star shone out, then another, and another. Over the prairie slanted the first dark shadow of night. Suddenly the hunter laid his ear to the ground, and listened.
"Wha-what's that?" asked Tom in alarm. "Fiddle," laughed Steve. "Wonder if it's Mr. Durkin." The wailing sounds ceased as Steve knocked and a voice called "Come in!" When they entered they saw a tall, lank youth standing in front of a music-rack close to the window. He held a violin to his chin and waved his bow in greeting. "Hi!" he said. "Sit down and I'll be right with you.
