The poise of sheer health stretched her to tiptoe; then the graceful tension relaxed, and her smooth fingers uncurled, tightened, and fell limp as her arms fell and her superb young figure straightened, confronting the sea.
Come away, Splash!" Splash did not care very much about biting or worrying the hedgehog. The dog barked once or twice, and then came away. Then the porcupine uncurled himself, and ran off into the wood. "Well, I caught something in my trap, anyhow," said Bunny. "That's what you did," said Bunker Blue. "And the hedgehog, walking around under the box, kept pushing it along with his head.
You're crazy," cried Nance, rushing at her as though to make an end of her. And Julie, mad with the strain of the night's anxieties and their abrupt and terrible ending, uncurled her claws and struck at her with a snarl tore off her sun-bonnet, and would have ripped up her face, if Gard had not flung his arms round her from the back and dragged her screaming and kicking towards her own door. Mrs.
Krhal stood up, setting the course for the others. When the last had risen, Queeth uncurled himself and rose from the box. "We'll have to pass near Earth," he suggested as they filed out toward the hangars where Krhal kept his ship. "Maybe we should show our intentions there!" There was a sudden whistle of surprise. Then the assent was mounting wildly.
Lulled by the somniferous droning of insects and lazy echoes from afar, Miss Chapin was on the verge of slumber, when she saw her guest rapidly turn the last pages of her novel, then, with a chocolate between her teeth, read wide-eyed to the finish. Miss Blake closed the book reluctantly, uncurled slowly, then stared out through the dancing heat-waves, her blue eyes shadowed with romance.
The perpetual suggestion of a smile under Dominic's piratical moustaches seemed to become more accentuated quite real, grim, actually almost visible through the wet and uncurled hair. Judging by that symptom, he must have been in a towering rage. But I could also see that he was puzzled, and that discovery affected me disagreeably. Dominic puzzled!
She came that night to Anne's room just as Anne was getting into bed. Unappeased by her defenseless attitude, she attacked with violence. "What's all this about Eliot asking you to marry him?" Anne uncurled herself and sat up on the edge of her bed. "Did he tell you?" "Yes. Of course he told me. He says you refused him. Did you?" "I'm afraid I did." "Then Anne, you're a perfect little fool."
The two women walked together up the rough ascent, and turned into Rosaly's Lane. Mellony walked wearily, her eyes down, the red feather, in its uncurled, unlovely assertiveness, looking more like the oriflamme of a forlorn hope than ever. But Mrs. Pember held herself erect, and as if she were obliged carefully to repress what might have been the signs of an ill-judged triumph.
As she spoke she brought out a miniature brown poke bonnet which was wreathed with one uncurled ostrich feather of a peculiar powder blue tint. She put it deftly on Betty's head, then stepped back and gazed delightedly into the smiling face and dancing eyes of her new client.
Before they knew why they did it, they were uncurled from the ball in which they slept and, crouching side by side, glaring savagely up the narrow passage that led to their back door. "There they saw a pair of cruel eyes, small and flaming, and set very close together, which seemed to float slowly down towards them." Here Uncle Andy was so inconsiderate as to pause, as if he wanted to think.
