Then, as the long delicate tendrils beneath swing like sirens' arms to welcome you, to arch the back and, leaving the alluring depths, rise through the dark water with the ease of an eagle on his wings until your head pops into the upper world of noise and sunlight again.
The parents of Ligi pay the usual marriage price for the girl. When the husband of Dolimaman pricks an itching spot between her third and fourth fingers, a baby boy pops out. Child who is called Kanag grows each time he is bathed. While his wife is away the father puts child on a raft and sets it afloat on the river.
"Let us talk of other things," she agreed readily. "Tell me, for instance, just what does a submarine look like when it pops up out of the sea?" "I have never seen one close to," he admitted, "except on the surface. Why do you ask?" She pointed with her forefinger to a little spot almost between two banks of mist.
The devil is but his father-in-law, and yet for the love he bears him will leave him as much as if he were his own child. This is the hook that hangs under water to choke the fish, and his sergeant is the quill above water, which pops down so soon as ever the bait is swallowed. It is indeed an otter, and the more terrible destroyer of the two.
Fire-coffins Who has not seen all manner of pictures in the fire? Who has not seen, or fancied he has seen, a fire-coffin? A fire-coffin is a bit of red-hot coal that pops mysteriously out of the grate in the rude shape of a coffin, and is prophetic of death, not necessarily the death of the beholder, but of someone known to him. The Death-watch
"Ay, ay, plump in the kennel; could hardly get out of it; felt myself a going, was afraid to tear my cloaths, knew the rascal would make me pay for them, so by holding up the old sack, come bolt on my face! off pops my wig; could not tell what to do; all as dark as pitch!" "Did not you call for help?" "Nobody by but scrubs, knew they would not help for nothing.
Then he resolutely choked down the feeling. The umpire was signaling impatiently for him to deliver. Dick essayed a jump ball. With a broadening grin Dickson of Wayland reached for it vigorously. He struck it, but feebly. Another of those short-winded, high-arched pops went up in air.
In the stock example, for instance, of groping for a forgotten name, we know the context in which that name should lie; we feel the environment of our local void; but what finally pops into that place, reinstated there by the surrounding tensions, is itself unforeseen, for it was just this that was forgotten.
Truly the exponents of Frightfulness have felt the recoil of their own vile methods. "This is a lachrymatory!" said the sub., whisking another bomb from his pocket. "When it pops, run forward and get in the smoke. It'll sting a bit, but don't rub the tears away let 'em flow. Don't touch your eyes, it'll only inflame 'em just weep! Ready? One, two, three!"
At their command people appear: Kanag creates betel-nut trees, then cuts the fruit into bits, which he sows on the ground. Quite as easy as the creation of beings is the causing of sleep or death. The birth of a child, to a woman of these times, is generally preceded by an intense itching between the third and last fingers, and when this spot is pricked the child pops out "like popped rice."
