There was a live snake, upraised, his fangs striking out viciously a rattler! I would have drawn back and fled, but Craig caught my arm. "Caged," he whispered monosyllabically. I shuddered. This, at least, was no drawing-room diablerie. "It is Ophis," intoned Rapport, "the Serpent the one active form in Nature that cannot be ungraceful!"
Sloggett put him through a perfect catechism on Jeph and his fortunes, which he answered at first almost monosyllabically, though afterwards he could speak a little more freely, when the questions did not go quite beyond his knowledge. Finally he succeeded in asking permission to take Emlyn and show her his brother's letter. Mrs.

A prickly sensation ran over her body as she cleared her throat and said, monosyllabically: "No." The doctor waited. "What is it?" he said at length. "Tell me why you have called. If you are not ill, what is it you want of me?" "You'll laugh, p'r'aps." "Laugh?
