It was a limbless thing, with a horrible face, that writhed along the ground in a serpentine fashion.
The Island of Doctor Moreau by Wells, H.G. View in context
Hopping down the room, he overthrew, one after another, all the smaller and lighter chairs as he passed them; arrived at the end, he turned, surveyed the prostrate chairs, encouraged himself with a scream of triumph, and leaped rapidly over chair after chair on his hands--his limbless body now thrown back from the shoulders, and now thrown forward to keep the balance--in a manner at once wonderful and horrible to behold.
Law and the Lady by Collins, Wilkie View in context
