ridgy

Was she attracted to the ridgy scars on my cheeks half revealed by my scarf?

They were in an unpeopled valley of native vegetation, flanked by ropy, ridgy hills.

Her left hand played with a ridgy white seashell embedded in the gray plank on which their sweat dripped.

Their "holographic diffractive structure," a ridgy plastic film, would be incorporated into windows and bend sunlight in a new way.

So was the angle of her cigarette, the tap of her knee against the table, the ridgy look to her neck muscles.

From their apexes projected four flexible, cylindrical members, each a foot thick, and of a ridgy substance like that of the cones themselves.

The sweat lay in heavy drops upon her ridgy forehead, and the old corded arms that projected from her torn nightdress.

Except for the smell, it was like a dream, we moved so quietly; on, gently on and on between the ridgy clay banks and the rows of piles.

They seemed to be enormous, iridescent cones, about ten feet high and ten feet wide at the base, and made up of some ridgy, scaly, semi-elastic matter.

(I may here remark that I suppose myself to be better acquainted than any living authority, with the ridgy effect of a wedding-ring, passing unsympathetically over the human countenance.)

He went into One Man Coulee and followed it to the arm that would lead to the rolling, ridgy open land beyond, where the "breaks" of the Badlands reached out to meet the prairie.

Far in the sea, against the foaming shore, There stands a rock: the raging billows roar Above his head in storms; but, when 't is clear, Uncurl their ridgy backs, and at his foot appear.

His fingers touched the familiar double-stitched leather of his pouch, but instead of being ridgy and taut with gold pieces, it was, except for one thin cylinder - that tin-whistle - flat as an unleavened Sarheenmar pancake.

She turned the light low, and slipped stealthily over and knelt down by the sack and felt of its ridgy sides with her hands, and fondled them lovingly; and there was a gloating light in her poor old eyes.

Ere long the sand had accumulated in compact masses; and there, where so recently stretched a level plain as far as the eye could see, rose now a ridgy line of hillocks, still moving from beneath--the vast tomb of an entire caravan!

He had stiff black hair, beginning to turn gray, that wouldn't lie down flat, a thick black stubble on his jutting jaw, heavy black eyebrows on his ridgy forehead, and black hair growing out of his ear canals and his nostrils.

There were occasional villages surrounded by fields of durra, of cotton yams, and great stretches of wild, luxuriant forest, or baobabs, bananas, deleb-palms, pandanus and plaintains, beyond which arose the castellated tops of ridgy hills and fantastically carven cliffs.

Stranded fish were gasping and dying, squirming ropy sea-things laid bare, and Cendri could see, at the foot of the rocks near the grounded boats of the pearl-divers, the long, ridgy rows of shelled crea- tures, thrusting up through an inch or less of sea-water.

To heav'n aloft on ridgy waves we ride, Then down to hell descend, when they divide; And thrice our galleys knock'd the stony ground, And thrice the hollow rocks return'd the sound, And thrice we saw the stars, that stood with dews around.

The intermittent chirps of the verbal part of their language had blended now into a soft, thrumming murmur, like a cat's purr; he thought he could see long lines of the Midgwins forming, setting into thick, ridgy, concentric rings, like the rocks themselves, shoulder to shoulder, hands linked, eyes shut.
