The horrid, serpent-like head, with its black tongue, forked with red, hanging out of its jaws, dangled against the horse's side.

Its belly was similar in nature, but its colour was leaden, dashed with blotches of livid blue.
All at once the clew-like body flew out, displaying a sharp-snouted four-footed animal, whose long serpent-like tail, at the same instant, sweeping around caught one of the hares in its prehensile embrace! The little creature uttered a shrill squeak, while its companion bounded off in terror.
