He looked again at Harper, the rustler chief; at Slade, with his peculiar turtle-like face, Slade the cattle king the killer. Billie Warren stood between the two Epperson girls whose faces betrayed the taint of Indian blood, an arm about the shoulders of each of them. The sheriff who had said that men must humor womenfolks was leaning against the bar.
She carried an herb-basket on her arm now, into which, from time to time, she looked with great satisfaction. Nathaniel ran down the stairs and out of the door calling. She paused, startled. "How can you sing and laugh and walk so lightly?" he cried out. She cocked her head on one side with her turtle-like motion. "Why should she not sing?" she asked in her thick, sweet voice.
Roy thrust his head from under his saddle like a turtle from its shell. His lips were dry and cracked, his eyes smarted, his skin was irritated with the sand. The whole world seemed to have turned to sand. It was everywhere. "Peggy!" A similar turtle-like head projected from the other saddle. Poor Peggy, she would positively have screamed if she had known the appearance she presented.
The beak, moreover, was that of a porpoise, and the teeth were those of a crocodile. It must have been a most destructive creature to the fish of those early seas. The plesiosaurus was of similar bulk, with a turtle-like body and paddles, shewing that the sea was its element, but with a long serpent-like neck, terminating in a saurian head, calculated to reach prey at a considerable distance.

Some people called him Judge; but John Jay, wise in the negro lore of their neighborhood Uncle Remus, called him "Brer Tarrypin" for good reasons of his own. "Wot we all gwine do now?" drawled Bud, with a turtle-like stretch of his little round head as he peered through the steps.
An open air buffet had been set up in a twinkling. Apolline came there since the confusion of the mobilization all days were Sundays for her to provide herself with nips. We saw her hobbling along broadwise, hugging her half-pint measure in her short turtle-like arms, the carrot slices of her cheek-bones reddening as she already staggered with hope.
It was during the American Revolution that a man went below the surface of the waters of New York Harbour in a submarine boat just big enough to hold him, and in the darkness and gloom of the under-water world propelled his turtle-like craft toward the British ships anchored in mid-stream.
In the Silurian ages, invertebrates brachiopods and crinoids and cephalopods were the dominant types. But very early no one knows just when there came fishes of many strange forms, some of the early ones enclosed in turtle-like shells.
"Perhaps you may think," Claude continued, "that you would not desire turtle-like qualities in a husband, you who are so bright, so bounding, so much like a hare, but I assure you, that is just the companion who would suit you.
