A movement among the ferns attracted Adrian, and he stepped down the decline across the pine-roots to behold heavy Benson below; shaking fern-seed and spidery substances off his crumpled skin. "Is that you, Mr. Hadrian?" called Benson, starting, as he puffed, and exercised his handkerchief. "Is it you, Benson, who have had the audacity to spy upon these Mysteries?"
There were also litter-carriers, lopsided beings, with enormous shoulders, very spidery ushers, and a squat foot attendant in Cavor's retinue. The manner in which Phi-oo and Tsi-puff attacked the problem of speech was fairly obvious. They came into this "hexagonal cell" in which Cavor was confined, and began imitating every sound he made, beginning with a cough.
The present inhabitants, being possessed at once of rather homely tastes and limited facilities, had over-furnished the place with an infinitude of little things little rugs, little tables, little knit doilies, little racks of photographs, little china ornaments, little spidery what-nots, and shelves for books. Virginia seated herself, and went directly to the topic. "Mrs.
"It's better than hemming," Peggy said, "because you can take such long spidery stitches. But I just hate sewing. I'm never going to sew when I grow up." "But that is just the time you'll have to sew," said Alice. "No, I'm going to be a writing lady." "But they have to wear just as many frocks as other people," said Alice. "I'll have them made for me.

The spiritual man rejoiced to hear such a tale, as do all men of peace to hear talk of violent deeds in which they may not share.
The huge wheel, made of flail-like pieces set horizontally on spidery arms, went thrashing round, scooping the standing corn on to the knife, which cut it and thrust it into the mysterious recesses of the machine in the twinkling of the blade. The next instant the bound bundle, neatly knotted round with string, was vomited forth on the far side....

I kept letting it go, when I first began to get old-sighted." Another lady came to Alford's rescue. "I guess Mr. Alford has no need to get fitted for old sight yet a while.

On a space planed flat in the rock, rested the dome, like an inverted quarter-mile-wide bowl of glittering glasslike substance, laced inside with spidery supporting struts the half bubble from inside which men guided the mass.
"Good morning," said Soames, looking neither to right nor left. Out in the street he swore deeply, quietly, to himself. A spider's web, and to cut it he must use this spidery, secret, unclean method, so utterly repugnant to one who regarded his private life as his most sacred piece of property.
