The record is one of great value to military strategists, to the layman it is only a succession of artillery barrages, of gas attacks, of aerial reconnaissances and combats. One day grew to be very much like another in that deadlock of pythons. A play for position here was met by a counter-thrust in another place.
Remembering how the frog-woman had stuck in Larry's mind from the outset, I wondered whether all this was not more to convince himself than Olaf. "Why, I remember a nice girl in Paris who had four pet pythons " he went on. But I listened no more, for now I was sure of my surmise.
His neck is hung round with jujus on strings bits of the backbones of pythons, teeth, feathers, and antelope horns, and occasionally a bit of fat in a bag. Round his upper arm are bracelets, preferably made of ivory got from the mainland, for celluloid bracelets carefully imported for his benefit he refuses to look at.
They could hear tigers and bears passing back through the jungles to their dens in the deeper forest, and as the men stood there admiring the grand heads of the bison a monstrous tiger passed along quite close to one of the party, the Maharajah's brother-in-law. On the bank of a river they came upon a nest of young pythons.
In fact, many people would say that things had gone so far between these two nothing now could bridge the chasm.

At the same time a voice inside her brain was repeating mechanically, "But pythons don't bite pythons don't bite.... Of course, I was thinking of the hypodermic needle!" ... "Please try to be more careful. That sort of thing is inexcusable. Is there anything wrong with you this morning?" "No, nothing, doctor. I can't tell you what made me drop it."
Twice he spent a full hour in dressing, whistling absent-mindedly during the process and leaving his necktie rack looking like a nest of angry pythons when he went out, without saying where he was going. The following week he didn't touch the piano and took long walks in Washington Park, alone, after ten. He seemed uninterested in his meals. Usually he praised this dish, or that.
"Ah, my mirror is broken." She wandered through the wreckage, uttering peals of laughter. The light of the full moon, penetrating the high canopy of leaves, illuminated the contorted vines that hung motionless in mid-air like pythons of silver.
And don't say 'most g't tho'ts are dressed in shrouds': many, many are the Phoebus Apollo celestial arrows you still have to shoot into the foul Pythons, and poisonous abominable Megatheriums and Plesiosaurians that go staggering ab't, large as cathedrals, in our sunk Epoch ag'n...."
