Final scurrying:

to move quickly, with small, short steps:

Old crone:
a cruel or ugly old woman.
Bore that cooled sweat feeling
Slide door
Vaulted passage
Half-light of a suspensor damp, dimmed and hanging near the floor
Bulky female shape
Witch shadow (hair like matted spider webs, hooded’ rounded darkness of features,
eyes like glittering jewels)
Voice wheezed and twanged like an untuned baliset
Twanged; to make a noise like that of a tight string being quickly pulled and
released:
Soft contralto
'contralto' is a more technical term reserved for professionally trained soloists
with an especially low range and dark tone color.
She chulked
Within the shadows of his beds
Eyes more open to mere slits
a straight, narrow cut, opening, or aperture.
Two birds-bright ovals-the eyes of the women-seemed
Solid thump
Whirled
Peril
serious and immediate danger.
Glow globes
Cathedral
Window sill
Bustle
Hair like shaded bronze held with a black ribbon
Studied the tallness of her, saw hint of tension in her shoulders
Minutiae
the small, precise, or trivial details of something.
Exposed her invisible hesitation, a nervous beteryal he feared
Tape stirred
Curtesy
Other station
Argued cation
Glistening eyes
Charred bones
Every sift and through a screen
Tangential slash
Maiming
Fought down the itching silver.
