For a year or two the lean, thready little girl looked like no one but her own elfish self; and then it was like a revealment she grew to be like Nella-Rose! Lynda, at times, was breathless as she looked and remembered. She had seen the mother only once; but that hour had burned the image of face, form, and action into her soul.
Being rough and thready, the black palm-point made an ugly wound; but the resolute man drew it out, and, breaking the spear in twain, threw it into the boat, and as he did so, another grazed his abdomen.
Such brushes, he remembered, were more bristly; and however much used in repairing a structure, would not be required in pulling one down. He said, 'It must be a thready silk fringe. He felt further in. It was somewhat warm. Knight instantly felt somewhat cold.
By this machine are given such finishes as are known as "chasing finish" when the thready surface is wanted; "frictioning," or what is termed "glazing finish," "swigging finish," and "embossing finish;" the later is done by substituting a steel or copper engraved roller in place of the friction bowl. This machine is also made to I produce the "Moire luster" finish.
The destruction that ensued was dreadful, upwards of two thousand persons having perished. In another part of the Indian Ocean, near Madagascar, lies the little Isle of Bourbon, containing the volcano Salazes, which occasionally throws out the curious thready substance already mentioned, so strongly resembling spun glass.
'Now you direct my attention to him, said Fenellan, 'the writing of the romantic history has made the texture look a trifle thready. You have a terrible eye.

Copper was curled into a tight ball inside the confining safety web, knees drawn up, back bent, head down arms wrapped protectingly around her legs the fetal position of catatonic shock. He shook her shoulder no response. Her pulse was thready and irregular. Her breathing was shallow. Her lips were blue. Her condition was obvious space shock extreme grade.
As he spoke these last words he noticed that the pulse fluttered a little, beat irregularly a few times; intermitted; became feeble and thready; while his cheek grew whiter than the pallid bloodlessness of his long illness had left it. "No more talk, now," he said. "You are too tired to be using your voice. I will hear all the rest another time."
Against its dewy greenness the beach shone like coarse gold, and its slow silver river lingered lovingly, as though loth to leave it, and be merged in the reckless loud-tongued Pacific. Across the valley, the track I was to take climbed up in thready zigzags, and disappeared round a bold headland. It was worth a second visit just to get a glimpse of such a vision of peace.
