A swaying shadow appeared at the end of the plank, standing out against the haze of light from the houses behind the poplar trees. Andrews put out a hand to catch him, as he reached the side of the barge. The old man sprawled against the cabin. "Don't bawl me out, dearie," he said, dangling an arm round Andrews's neck, and a hand beckoning vaguely towards his wife.
One apparently solid projection as big as my head came away at the first touch, and went bouncing off into space. Finally I stood, or rather sprawled, almost within arm's length of a tiny scrub pine growing solidly in a crevice just over the talus. Once there, our troubles were over; but there seemed no way of crossing.
There was a bench on the stair landing below them beside an open window. Felicia gestured toward it, and the maid nodded. She could hear the voices more clearly now, she could even see two of the speakers through an arched doorway. They were sprawled easily in big chairs, a blue haze of smoke floating over them. One of them was laughing,
It had turned warm again; the edges of the horizon were grey and at night a low mist lay over the water. Rooms were stifling, humid. The Red Un discarded pajamas and slept in his skin. The engine-room watch came up white round the lips and sprawled over the boat deck without speech. Things were going wrong in the Red Un's small world.
Dave received the ball with a rush of his old-time fervor and confidence. Dan started behind him as full of fire as ever. In a fraction of a second the impact of the two opposing lines came. Jetson went down, one of his legs flying between Darrin's in such a way as to constitute a foul. Dave Darrin went down on top of the ball. Half a dozen players sprawled over him. The referee's whistle blew.
His rumbling challenge had seemed to take up the scream of the horse; it ended in the piercing squeal of the throated boar. Skag still talked to Kala Khan, as he moved forward. The Arab stood braced, facing him now the tumbled head-down thing to the left, arms sprawled, face turned away.
Here, Forman, look after this sleigh and stick it somewhere so that I can get it without looking through a hundred and fifty others to-morrow morning." They sat down at a small round table near the stove and ordered coffee. Victor sprawled in his chair, patting his little brown dog Bobo and looking, half laughingly, at Max. "What's the matter, my dear? Isn't the world being nice and pretty?"
Flushed and breathless with exercise, the majority proceeded to divest themselves of their flannels and, girt with towels, made off for the bathroom. One, however, flung himself panting on to his chest, and sprawled partly across his own and partly on his neighbour's. "I swear this is a bit thick!" he gasped. "I'm not used to this sort of frightfulness." He waved his legs in the air.
An easel with a canvas on it stood convenient to the light; a flesh-tinted lay-figure in tumbled drapery drooped limply in a corner; a table littered with palettes and brushes and battered tubes of color was carelessly pushed against the window; there were some lustrous rugs hung up beside the door; the floor was bare except for a great tiger-skin, with the head on, that sprawled in front of the fire-place.
Put together roughly, of crude materials, sticking up in inartistic prominence on the dusty edge of a dustier street; warped, bleached by the sun, and patched with boards ripped from packing cases and with the flattened sides of tin cans; low of ceiling, the floor one huge brown discoloration of spring, creaking boards, knotted and split and worn into hollows, the unpretentious building offered its hospitality to all who might be tempted by the scrawled, sprawled lettering of its sign.
