Rosenquartz dipped a thin twig in the ink and started stirring without a word of apology, without a word to explain where he had been.
Rosenquarz tauchte einen dünnen Zweig in die Tinte und begann zu rühren, ohne ein Wort der Entschuldigung, ohne ein Wort der Erklärung, wo er gewesen war.

But those blades of grass presently turned into the prettiest little doEs ever seen; and the twigs became delicious little huntsmen.
Aber aus den Grashalmen wurden bald die schönsten Puppen, die man nur sehen konnte und aus den Ästchen kleine allerliebste Jäger.

And it was true. Before him lay a sorry patch of no-man's-land: a rusty refrigerator, dead twigs, sand, weeds, a bare concrete wall.
Und es stimmte, vor ihm lag ein armseliges Stück Niemandsland. Ein alter verrosteter Kühlschrank, tote Aste, Sand, Unkraut, eine nackte Betonmauer.

It consisted of a lot of twigs mashed up to a pulp and flattened out into sheets and then held together with something that had previously held a cow together.
Diese Errungenschaft bestand aus einem Haufen zu Brei gestampfter und anschließend zu Zetteln plattgeklopfter Zweige, die von etwas zusammengehalten wurden, das vorher eine Kuh zusammengehalten hatte.

She took her favoured hand-axe and, with a skill born of long hours of practice and many cut fingers, she made notches in one end of the stick, wide enough to fit the thorny twigs.
Dann nahm sie den bewährten Faustkeil und ritzte mit einer Geschicklichkeit, die sie in langer Übung und nach vielen Schnittverletzungen erworben hatte, Kerben in ein Ende des Stocks, in die sie die dornigen Zweige hineinsteckte.

Justin had ordered a larger structure for himself, to serve as command post and sleeping quarters, part dug into the side of a slope, the rest covered with twigs and limbs, like a half-finished beaver lodge.
Für sich selbst, als Hauptquartier und als Schlafraum, hatte Justin einen größeren Bau angeordnet, der zum Teil in den Hang eingegraben und zum Teil mit Zweigen und Ästen abgedeckt war. Das Ganze sah aus wie ein halbfertiger Dachsbau.

Then the Stranger Child plucked blades of grass, and gathered little twigs from trees, strewing them down before Felix and Christlieb.
Nun pflückte das fremde Kind Grashalme, und brach kleine Ästchen von den Bäumen die es hinstreute vor Felix und Christlieb.
