Erebus with feeble fumbling fingers (she was almost spent with cold and terror) cut the straps of his skates and the laces of his boots, pulled them off, pulled off his stockings, and rubbed feebly at his legs.

The Terror turned Wiggins over and rubbed his back violently till the blood reddened that.

Wiggins uttered a little gasping grunt.
Forthwith the Terror pulled off his own coat and jersey and put them on Wiggins; then he pulled off Wiggins' knickerbockers and rubbed his thighs till they reddened; then he pulled off his stockings and pulled them on Wiggins' legs.

The stockings came well up his thighs; and the Terror's coat and jersey came well down them.

Wiggins was completely covered.
