The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Under the Andes by Rex Stout: feebly. There came a sudden cry from Harry, and his spear
clattered on the ground as he opened his arms to receive Desiree's
unconscious body, which came tumbling down with the severed coil
still wrapped about it.
But there was life in the reptile's immense body. It
staggered and swayed from side to side in drunken agony. Its
monstrous head rolled about, sweeping the air in a prodigious
circle. The poison of its breath came to us in great puffs. There
was something supremely horrible about the thing in its very
helplessness, and I was shuddering violently as I stooped to help
Harry lift Desiree from the ground and carry her away.
