They had been there for nearly twenty minutes already, in the semi-darkness of that outer boulevard, where all the vices of the poor districts of Paris were on the prowl. They had been jostled by drunkards; and shadowy women brushed against them as they went by whispering beneath the oaths and blows of bullies.
Farnham, leaning back with an air of ineffable disgust, and talking to no one in particular "I wonder how the Judge can allow that old brute to prowl after him in that manner, but there is no medium in some people. I'm sure if he were at my house I would have him shot before morning laying down on the portico indeed!"
He had been doing his usual after-lock-up prowl on the junior gravel, to intercept stragglers, and he had been a witness from a distance of fifty yards, in a very bad light of the descent into the vault. He had remained on the gravel ever since, in the hope of catching them as they came up; but as they had not come up, he had determined to make the first move himself.
And there must have been some Seneca there doubtless some adopted Seneca of a birth more civilized who told the mother, and who was persuaded by her to make of it a Hidden One. "How long it lay concealed, and in whose care, how can I know? But it is certain that Amochol learned that it had been hidden, and sent his Cat-People out to prowl and watch.
Johnson has had the worst of it, poor chap, but there are one or two of them took it into their heads to come up to London and worry me at the office." "I intend that there shall be no more dissatisfaction amongst my tenants." Mr. Mangan set off for another prowl towards the sideboard. "Satisfied tenants you never will get in Norfolk," he declared.
"If anybody had ever told me that there would be a football game in Halifax, and that I would elect to prowl about by myself in the park instead of going to it, I'd have laughed them to scorn. Even Beatrix would never have dared to prophesy that. But you see it has happened. I was too crumpled up in my mind to care about football today. I had to come here and have it out with myself.
Now and again a stray prairie chicken would fly up from their path with a whirr, and speed across the mire, calling to its mate as it went. The drowsy chirrup of frogs went on unceasingly around, and already the ubiquitous mosquito was on the prowl for human gore.
But I don't care, I mean to have him! From the window of her darkened room she saw "that man" issue from the door below and "prowl" away. If he and her mother how would that affect her chance? Surely it must make her father cling to her more closely, so that he would consent in the end to anything she wanted, or become reconciled the sooner to what she did without his knowledge.

"You wouldn't know it was there unless you happened to be looking for it." "Well, what now?" asked Chester. "Guess we had better don those German uniforms and prowl about a bit." "Snoop, eh," said Stubbs.
And when the light of some little distant city makes a slight flush upon the edge of the sky, and the happy golden windows of the homesteads stare gleaming into the dark, then the old and holy figure of Romance, cloaked even to the face, comes down out of hilly woodlands and bids dark shadows to rise and dance, and sends the forest creatures forth to prowl, and lights in a moment in her bower of grass the little glowworm's lamp, and brings a hush down over the grey lands, and out of it rises faintly on far-off hills the voice of a lute.
