The muttering of the cockatoo, the tinkle of the fountain as the water fell into the basin, the scrape and slither of sandals beyond the lattice partitions, the rattle of a gun butt somewhere in the outer corridors these sounds she heard. Once she thought she heard the sputter of rifle shots afar, but she was not sure. Kit, beautiful Kit! Oh, they would not, could not let her die!
It was cold at the summit-station, ice and snow in the air, fierce. Our travellers shrank into the carriage again, and wrapped themselves round. Then the train began its long slither downhill, still through a whole necklace of tunnels, which fortunately no longer stank. So down and down, till the plain appears in sight once more, the Arno valley.
Why, I says to myself when they pounced on me, if I gives 'em all their work to do, they'll be so busy that they won't see Mas' Don, and he'll be able to get right away. Why didn't you slither and go?" "Because I should have been leaving you in the lurch, Jem; and I didn't want to do that." "Well, I well, of all there! why, Mas' Don, did you feel that way?" "Of course I did."
Merrithew proving quite in the mood for it, they went to the Lido with an extra gondolier Miss Dassonville had stipulated for one who could sing and came home in time to see Venice all a-flower, with the continual slither of the gondolas about it like some slim sort of moth.

Nor are insects the only evil creatures that haunt the forest. For you may plump into a cave among the rocks, and find yourself face to face with a wild boar, or see a crooked viper slither across the road. Perhaps you may set yourself down in the bay between two spreading beech-roots with a book on your lap, and be awakened all of a sudden by a friend: 'I say, just keep where you are, will you?
Commissioner: in these lands, as elsewhere, new brooms sweep clean; but they are very easily worn out. This place has been for years the 'black beast' of travellers, especially in rainy weather, when the rapid incline becomes so slippery that even the most sure-footed slither and slide.
As Gavin Brice sat with feet drawn up under him, listening to the gruesome slither of the mocca sinsalong the concrete floor just below he was gripped for a minute by irresistible terror. It was all so simple so complete! And he had been calmly self-confident of his ability to command the situation, to play these people's own game and to beat them at it.
But our friend was convinced of one humble inquirer's passionate sincerity when he saw him gayly tread the ice floes of rustic Long Island in these days of slush and slither.
It struck the tier of rock below with clattering echo, displaced another stone twice its size, then bounced bounced and a slither of slaty rock the size of a house wrenched out shot into mid-air with crash and sharp clappering echoes Then the Pass was filled with the thundering roll.
Immediately afterwards Larry's footsteps were again heard, hurrying across the hall, and then there was a great slither, and an exclamation, and the noise of a fall and I could plainly hear poor Larry's head strike against the stone floor. "Ochone, ochone!" he cried at the top of his voice "I'm murthered with 'em now intirely; and d 'em for boots St. Peter be good to me."
