"The best way to make the thing sure," Gage went on, "is to get to work before some one comes prowling this way." "Who's going to prowl?" queried Josh. "The camp is asleep." "Reade is up; we know that," Dolph insisted. "Humph! We saw through the window that he's too drowsy to stir." "Don't be too sure," warned Gage. "He may be only a boy, but he's a sure terror, the way he finds out things!
"I shall have forty fits if I see him in the room, I know I shall!" she confided to Fil. "You've no idea how he scares me. I have my lessons on the study piano generally, and if only he would sit still I shouldn't mind, but he will get up and prowl about the room, and swing out his arms when he's explaining things; he only just missed knocking over that pretty statuette of Venus the other day.
I brand them for renegades, because most of them have been sailors in their time. As if the infirmities of old age the gray hair, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, and the knotted veins of the hands were the symptoms of moral poison, they prowl about the quays with an underhand air of gloating over the broken spirit of noble captives.
There seemed to be something almost feudally old-fashioned about Russians, Milly thought, for a mere wire to her father had been considered adequate. But then, Tony Senior wasn't a count or a "vitch," or anything exciting like that. It was after this dinner that I began to prowl for banana peel.
Each alley and street of the city has its pack of dogs, and none venture on the domain of their neighbors. During the day they sleep, lying about the streets so stupid that they will hardly move; in fact, horses and donkeys step over them, and pedestrians wisely let them alone. After dark they prowl about, and are the only scavengers of the city, all garbage being thrown into the streets.
He had been accustomed to enjoy the winters, the clear crisp mornings that varied weeks of drenching rain which washed the land clean; to prowl about in the woods with a gun when he needed meat; to bask before a bed of coals in the fireplace through long evenings when the wind howled and the rain droned on the roof and the sea snored along the rocky beaches.
And until the workers left the beach he could not prowl there hunting the grimmer evidence his mind flinched from considering. Karara waited for him on the inner ledge. There was no sign of the dolphins and as Ross pulled out of the water, pushing aside his mask, her face in the thin light of the cave was deeply troubled. "You did not find him," she made that a statement rather than a question.
It was the work of only a moment for Kennedy to scale it and prowl across the roof to the tower, while I stood guard at the foot. "No one has been up there recently," he panted breathlessly as he rejoined me. "There isn't a sign."
And the children of Earth who prowl abroad by night looked sideways at it and snarled and edged away; all but the wolves, who came a little nearer, for it was winter and the wolves were hungry, and they had come in thousands from the mountains, and they said in their hearts, "We are strong." Around the fire a little tribe was encamped.
"Then I am going to take a little prowl into these woods here," said the colonel, indicating a small clump of trees that stood perhaps a quarter of a mile to the east. "I'll go along," said Chester. "I feel like stretching my legs a bit." The two walked away together. Ivan and Nikol remained behind and watched Hal tinker with the engine.
