Another way of snaring rabbits and grouse was the following: We made nooses of twisted horse- hair, which we tied very firmly to the top of a limber young tree, then bent the latter down to the track and fastened the whole with a slip-knot, after adjusting the noose.

This is a good plan, for the rabbit is out of harm's way as he swings high in the air.英文原著 · 《Indian Boyhood》

My home, thank God, is as yet outside their lines; my wife and little ones are still beyond the invader's farthest advance."英文原著 · 《An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge》
He was not conscious of an effort, but a sharp pain in his wrist apprised him that he was trying to free his hands. He gave the struggle his attention, as an idler might observe the feat of a juggler, without interest in the outcome. What splendid effort! -- what magnificent, what superhuman strength! Ah, that was a fine endeavor! Bravo! The cord fell away; his arms parted and floated upward, the hands dimly seen on each side in the growing light.
