There was some creature there, and surely by the speed of its advance, it was one which could see in the dark. I crouched low on my rock and tried to blend myself into it. The steps grew nearer still, then stopped, and presently I was aware of a loud lapping and gurgling. The creature was drinking at the stream.
My Atta city was only two hundred feet away from the laboratory, in fairly high jungle, within sound of the dinner triangle, and of the lapping waves on the Mazaruni shore.
Ah-Fang-Fu returned unmoved to his Patience and silence reclaimed the den, only broken by the inarticulate murmuring and the lapping of the tide. "A genuine customer!" whispered Max. "Ah!" came again, more faintly "he ... has ... bitten ... me." "Blimey!" said Bill in a drowsy voice "'eave the chair at 'im, Pidgin." Stuart was about to speak when Gaston Max furtively grasped his arm.
The soft lapping beauty of its little cove, in such odd contrast to its sinister name sunshine on coral sand, and farther inland, the mangrove trees, like walking laurel stepping out into the golden ripples Ah! I should like to try my hand on the beauty of that afternoon; but we were not allowed to admire it long, for we were far from being alone. "She's changed her paint," said Tom, at my elbow.
So we rounded the turn, and into the straight North Star's lean flank we were lapping But we shot to the front when I gave the Black head, and I saw that the other was stopping.

And answer made the bold Sir Bedivere: "I heard the water lapping on the crag, And the long ripple washing in the reeds."
