Quotations
Do you feel a creeping, shrinking sensation, Watson, when you stand before the serpents in the Zoo, and see the slithery, gliding, venomous creatures, with their deadly eyes and wicked, flattened faces? Well, that’s how Milverton impresses me.
1904, Arthur Conan Doyle, “The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton”, in The Return of Sherlock Holmes
[…] we set out for the cannery. There, men with spiked poles would swarm into the scow, hook each fish under the gills. The creatures would hurtle through the air like silver streaks, landing into the cannery chutes with slithery thumps, and pass on to the ripping knives
1941, Emily Carr, chapter 18, in Klee Wyck
