Die Hauptschwierigkeit, die Alice zuerst fand, war, den Flamingo zu handhaben; sie konnte zwar ziemlich bequem seinen Körper unter ihrem Arme festhalten, so daß die Füße herunterhingen, aber wenn sie eben seinen Hals schön ausgestreckt hatte, und dem Igel nun einen Schlag mit seinem Kopf geben wollte, so richtete er sich auf und sah ihr mit einem so verdutzten Ausdruck in's Gesicht, daß sie sich nicht enthalten konnte laut zu lachen.The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo: she succeeded in getting its body tucked away, comfortably enough, under her arm, with its legs hanging down, but generally, just as she had got its neck nicely straightened out, and was going to give the hedgehog a blow with its head, it would twist itself round and look up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could not help bursting out laughing: and when she had got its head down, and was going to begin again, it was very provoking to find that the hedgehog had unrolled itself, and was in the act of crawling away: besides all this, there was generally a ridge or furrow in the way wherever she wanted to send the hedgehog to, and, as the doubled-up soldiers were always getting up and walking off to other parts of the ground, Alice soon came to the conclusion that it was a very difficult game indeed.OP265333
Schweigsam lächelnd handhabten sie die Queues.The chateau, a modern building in Italian style, with two projecting wings and three flights of steps, lay at the foot of an immense green-sward, on which some cows were grazing among groups of large trees set out at regular intervals, while large beds of arbutus, rhododendron, syringas, and guelder roses bulged out their irregular clusters of green along the curve of the gravel path. A river flowed under a bridge; through the mist one could distinguish buildings with thatched roofs scattered over the field bordered by two gently sloping, well timbered hillocks, and in the background amid the trees rose in two parallel lines the coach houses and stables, all that was left of the ruined old chateau.OP295968
Die alte Frau Bovary handhabte Schere und Nadel, ohne die Augen zu erheben.Madame Bovary senior was plying her scissor without looking up, and Charles, in his list slippers and his old brown surtout that he used as a dressing-gown, sat with both hands in his pockets, and did not speak either; near them Berthe, in a little white pinafore, was raking sand in the walks with her spade.OP377162
