On his neck was a very neat ornament a large ring, of beautifully-worked small beads, forming elegant patterns by their various colours. On one arm was another bead ornament, prettily devised; and on the other a wooden charm, tied by a string covered with snakeskin.
She put one hand on her stomach. "It's so deadly." Oliver walked over to the steps and pulled out the thumb tacks that held the snakeskin. "Can't have you getting a chill," he said. "Oh, thank you. I just can't help it how I feel," she said. "Of course you can't." Oliver rolled the skin into a coil and put a thick rubber band around it. He hefted it in his palm. "I'll take it down to the basement.
Speaking of snow, we're lucking out I shouldn't have any problem getting to Wayland." "How far is Wayland from Boston?" "Depends on what time it is half an hour, usually. I take 495 right around the city, no problem. Umm . . . Sweetums?" "Yes?" "I was wondering if you would do something for me. I know I'm being awful, but well it's that snakeskin. It gives me a chill when I look at it."
"That's a funny thing about Redeye; he dearly loves a piece of paper in his nest. What for, I can't imagine. He's as fussy about having a scrap of paper as Cresty the Flycatcher is about having a piece of Snakeskin. I had just a peep into that nest a few days ago and unless I am greatly mistaken Sally Sly the Cowbird has managed to impose on the Redeyes.
Wright's men, being nothing but cowboys, without other profession, ties or interests, gave more attention to details of professional equipment. Their wide hats were straight of brim and generally encircled by a leather or hair or snakeskin band; their shirts were loose; they wore handkerchiefs around their necks, and oiled leather "chaps" on their legs.
Bradford, therefore, adopted the Indian method of communicating this reply by expressive signs; and, taking the arrows which appeared to be poisoned from the snakeskin, he placed some gunpowder and balls in the significant wrapper. Several offered their services; and, among those, none was so eager to be employed as Rodolph Maitland.
He kept away from the pasture, and wherever he went he was always looking around to see whether the bull were anywhere in sight. At last he grew so afraid that he determined to go and talk to a black man he knew who dealt in magic. He found the man sitting at the door of his hut, making magic with a horsehair and a snakeskin, and some ground-up glass.
"If you would rather have war than peace," he said, "you can begin when you like. But we have done you no wrong and we do not fear you." When the chief heard the message and saw the gunpowder and bullets he was far too much afraid to go to war. He was too frightened to touch the snakeskin or even allow it to remain in his country, but sent it back again at once.
She wore champagne-colour. She had snakeskin shoes, a black hat. She was excited, and had colour; her eyes shone. "Well," he said, "here you are then. That's a good thing. I began to give you up." "How did you know ?" She stopped, and bit her lip. "I didn't. But I'm very glad to see you. You look very well. Where are you going?" She nodded her direction. "Tulips. Just over there.
What a splendid description!" "Now," continued Miss Watson, much elated by the praise, "Mrs. Morrison is very conspicuous looking. She's got yellow hair and a bright colour, and a kind of bold way of looking." "She's a complex character," sighed Mrs. Jowett; "she wears snakeskin shoes. But you must be kind to her, Miss Watson. I think she would appreciate kindness." "Oh, so we are kind to her.
