There was a kind of quavering buzz in it that made it warble, somehow, made the words slither uncertainly.

The weather is far from cheering. Churned-up clay squelches underfoot. We are not walking but slithering, looking down at the ground in order to maintain our footing.
Погода, впрочем, тоже невеселая, размытая глина под нашими ногами – не идем, а плывем, смотря себе под ноги, чтобы не упасть.

Змея же вползла по его ноге, обвилась вокруг талии, втиснувшись в шлевки отлично сшитых штанов, закусила свой хвост и снова превратилась в ремень.
