A dozen yards from him lay the big Dane, his huge jaws drooling in anticipation of the unusual feast which McGill was preparing.

And then their eyes met, just as mine met the dentist's, and something suddenly seemed to catch him in the pit of the stomach and everything went black and he heard his voice starting to drool about newts.

They were drooling at their mouths, their wiry crests stood up like brushes, and their snarling fangs were bared to their red gums.

They do not wear straw in their hair like maniacs, nor drool like simpletons.
