Their owner wriggled the tip of his muzzle inquiringly, but the action brought no response. Then the muzzle went into the air, and a whine, long-drawn and insistent, broke the silence. The boy rose. There was not a trace of moisture in his eyes, but the uncannily aged face seemed older than before.
She just brought her eyes back to the table and said: "Oh!" That calm, almost uncannily calm acceptance of a fact which Tarling had not dared to breathe to himself, was the second shock of the evening. It was as though she had known it all along. He was on his knees by her side and his arm was about her shoulders, even before his brain had willed the act. "My girl, my girl," he said gently.
Like a little horseshoe it circled about three sides of the ruined temple of the goddess Mut, inky-black and motionless with the stars looking up uncannily like drowned lights from its still waters, and inky-black and motionless, like guardian spirits about it, sat a hundred cat-headed women of grim granite.
Only her eyes wandered back apprehensively, now and then, to the smoke of the great town. As for Arthur Miles Childe Arthur, as Mr. Mortimer henceforth insisted on their calling him he had apparently cast away all dread of pursuit. Once, inhaling the smell of the wood fire, he even laughed aloud a strange laugh, and at its close uncannily like a sob.
It was almost uncannily clever, the way all the latest devices for modern comfort wore, so demurely, the mask of a perfectly consistent medievalism. And there were some effects that were really magnificent. Randolph took him over the whole thing from bottom to top. Through it all, he kept up the glib patter of a showman; the ironic intent of it becoming more and more marked all the while.
And, in her absence, the unhappy Lad took upon himself the task of turning little Wolf from a pest into something approaching a decent canine citizen. It was no sinecure, this educating of the hot-tempered and undisciplined youngster. But Lad brought to it an elephantine patience and an uncannily wise brain.
"When, therefore, the clear, coughing bark of a wolf was heard, both occupants of the little room looked up. The sound was repeated, and Steinmetz slowly rose from his seat. "I can quite believe that our friend is able to call a wolf or a lynx to him," he said. "He does it uncannily well." "I have seen him do so," said Paul, without looking up.
Startled, but discreetly motionless, he fixed his eyes upon the leafy clump, still waiting. Presently it stirred again, very perceptibly now, then moved, clumsily and uncannily, and with a slight rustling of its leaves, along the bank of the stream! Suddenly the thing stopped, and its whole bulk was shaken very noticeably.
He had likened it in his own thoughts, to an effect that might have been caused by the presence with her of another person whom he could neither see nor hear. And that, had he believed it seriously, would have been an almost uncannily correct guess.
Here they hugged the shore and waited for Harden's boat, the Mary, to come down. And come it did, balancing uncannily on the top of the waves, with Jonas' yells sounding even above the uproar of the waters. "More of it below, Harden," said Milton as the Mary shot alongside. More indeed! It seemed to Enoch that the first rapid was child's play to the one that followed.
