Answer 6

Alliteration often adds to the imagery of phrases.

"Slithering snakes slipping, sliding, slowly & stealthily".

"The well-wishers watched wistfully as we walked away."

This makes me think that those "well-wishers" would like to be walking away also, but it says it with a "flourish" that normal expression doesn't have.
