The tree-tops whispered in a frightened sort of way. And Jolly Roger could hear his heart beating. He dropped upon his knees, and his hands moved over Jed Hawkins. For a space not even Peter could have heard his movement or his breath. In the ebon darkness he rose to his feet, and the night lifelessly still for a moment heard the one choking word that came from his lips. "Dead!"
"It's made Jim ten years younger. That's what he said," urged the father. The mother smiled as grimly as she had laughed. "I don't believe it 'll make you ten years richer, and that's what you want."

The medical assistant came up to the body and touched the freckled hand, already growing cold, which, though still soft, was deadly pale. He held it for a moment, and then let it go. It fell lifelessly on the stomach of the dead man.
He spent another long interval lashing himself to the saddle with the rope that he carried at the pommel; and then headed the horse toward the Rancho Seco.

She squeezed that hairy serpent till her finger-points whitened in his neck, and he dropped lifelessly, crying: Treble-tongues and things of mud! Sprang my beauty from his blood? And the Serpents rose erect, replying: Yearly one of us must die; Yearly for us dieth one; Else the Queen an ugly lie Lives till all our lives be done! Bhanavar stood up, and hurried them to Karatis.
