Most of the sarcophagi from these tombs have been removed and taken to the museum at Cairo, but in one to which we penetrate, hewn out at a slope so steep that we have difficulty in keeping our feet as we slither down, the mummy has been replaced and is left uncovered.
To his thinking, Purdy had cut a poor figure during the visit: he had said no intelligent word, but had lounged lumpishly in his chair the very picture of the country man come up to the metropolis and, growing tired of this, had gone like a restless child to thrum his fingers on the panes. "Oh, you bet! He'll slither you through." "What?
It was then she got tired of me. I mark the day, you see, almost the hour. My goodness! if you're not always up to your form epigrams, quotations all pat " "She plucks you without mercy. Down you slither into the second class!" Doris's look sparkled. "There you go rejoicing in my humiliations!" said Meadows, putting an arm round the scoffer.
These are the first we have seen so near; when they spring out of the water like that and skim along in the air they are not doing it for fun, but to escape a bitter enemy in the water, the bonito, a ferocious large fish who preys upon them; he is their chief foe, but there are many others also.

Molly's horse was down on its knees. "Easy, boy, easy," soothed Molly, coaxingly, keeping the bridle reins taut. The horse scrambled up and plunged forward, and almost overran Molly. She seized it short by the rein-chains.
Then one would run up the other with a sharp, grating slither. At times she caught a glimpse of a figure in quick forward lunge or rapid wary withdrawal. Her brain was almost paralyzed. Ignorant of the mind and heart of young Rupert, she could not conceive that he tried to kill the king.
He heard the steel slither like a scythe through the hay, and unlocking his hold desperately threw himself on the uplifted arm. The movement saved him. For the released body of Seth slipped rapidly through the opening, upheld for a single instant on the verge by the grasp of the master's two hands on the arm that still held the knife, and then dropped heavily downward.
