Meredith was moving slowly, and for the moment the beasts seemed to be ignoring him.

He struggled, but the beast seemed to grow in front of his eyes.

But that beast doesn't seem to be coming back, so we might as well try to get some sleep.

The man and the beast seemed to understand one another perfectly.

The golden beast at his side seemed no longer either a danger or a nuisance.

The beast seemed to be taking a keen interest in Wendy.

And I must add that the beast seems to me to have far the better of it.
