When the dancers were more frenzied they held the squirming serpents in their mouths by the middle and allowed them to coil around their necks, dancing wildly the while.

It was now almost midnight, but the path was lighted by the little lanterns they carried.
I thought of the time when I had already entered the cloak business, but was struggling and squirming and constantly racking my brains for some way of raising a hundred dollars; when I would cringe with a certain East Side banker and vainly beg him to extend a small note of mine, and come away in a sickening state of despair
I am certain it was Mackenzie! They tore him from me don't let them get him away!" "Stop, you rascals!" the factor yelled loudly. "We must have that man!"

There was a sudden flash, a stunning report, and one of the rearmost Indians dropped.
Seraphina found Theodore kissing the hand of Celeste in the woods. Keturah became excited. "'O Theodore! whispered the unhappy maiden to the moaning trees.

After the depth of the main trunk diminished to about five hundred feet, the greater portion became torpid, as is shown by the moraines, and lay dying in its crooked channel like a wounded snake, maintaining for a time a feeble squirming motion in places of exceptional depth, or where the bottom of the canyon was more steeply inclined.

Had we passed her to starboard instead of to port, we should have fouled our main boom, and well, we shouldn't have got any farther.

Calhoun removed the cover from the other. It contained small and horrible squirming organisms, writhing in what was probably a nutrient fluid to which they could reduce human refuse.

Louise, you are not going to turn that thing loose in this little boat?" she wailed. "Don't worry Grace; he goes right in his little basket. There!" and with a skillful motion Louise did turn the squirming shell fish into the basket. "He's crawling out!" shrieked Julia. "Oh, we should have a cover for the basket."
