Now, / cautiously and slowly, / he got up.
#092
In the fishpond, / the hippo belched, / not softly.
#093
Slowly, very slowly, / the snake raised its head / until its eyes / were on a level / with Harry's.
#094
After ten minutes or so / we got back in the car / and drove out to the main road / slowly and carefully.
#095
Finally, / when he stood up, / slowly and stiffly, / his face was as hard and tight as wood, / and his eyes were hard.
#096
Griffin was light and fast, / his gloves a red blur / tapping away at Alfred's face, / easily and steadily as rain on a roof.
#097
Jonas, / suddenly and grimly, / remembered the time / in his childhood / when he had been chastised / for misusing a word.
#098
On and on, / they drove through the darkness, / and though the rain stopped, / the wind rushed by / and whistled / and made strange sounds.
#099
The gigantic snake was nearing Frank, / and then, / incredibly, miraculously, / it passed him, / following the spitting, hissing noises / made by the cold voice / beyond the door.
#100
If Sam had looked back, / he might have seen / not far below / Gollum turn again, / and then with a wild light of madness glaring in his eyes / come, / swiftly but warily, / creeping on behind, / a slinking shadow among the stones.
