The shouts of hoarse voices hailing each other in jubilant tones, voices thrilling with a note of hope such as they had not known for weeks. He saw the hard muscles of sunburnt arms standing out rope-like with the terrific labor they were engaged in.
The house had been primed that day and there were two smutches of paint upon the glass and two almost identical smutches upon the sill. One was a sinuous line, as if the glass had been struck with a short bit of rope, or possibly rubber tubing since no rope-like texture was visible, which had previously been soiled with the paint from the sill. The other mark was that of a human thumb.
"Well, it looks as if we are in for a good exciting morning of it," remarked Billy as they trudged along beneath trees that shot up to unknown heights with great rope-like creepers dangling from their upper branches, looking like ladders leading up into "Jack in the Beanstalk-land."
Although so long it was not a thick snake, and as it moved on over the white ground it had the appearance of a coal-black current flowing past me a current not of water or other liquid but of some such element as quicksilver moving on in a rope-like stream.

As he grew up he gave promise of the magnificent animal he eventually became.
This gnome had explained without speaking what the gloom and the quagmire, and the rope-like lianas had hinted, what the Silent Pools had shouted, what the vulture and the kite had laid bare, what the heart had whispered: There is no God in the forest of M'Bonga, no law but the law of the leopard, no mercy but the mercy of Death.
"Then air ye blattin' for the student?" She could scarcely utter the last word, scarcely let Teola hear her voice use that beloved name. "Yes, I was crying for him," replied Teola.
