"Don't you make no threat'nin' moves in my direction, or you'll go East in an ice-bath!"

I will become his security." "O nonsense! I might as well give bail myself." "Has he reached the prison yet?" "I suppose he has," replied Mr. Arnot, taking care to give no hint of the preliminary examination, for it would have annoyed him excessively to have his wife appear at a police court almost in the light of an antagonist to himself.

Similarly, O king, Karna, in that battle, covered Prishata's son, that scorcher of foes, with many shafts resembling snakes of virulent poison.

Into the grove, barking and growling, came a score of huge bull apes the fighting men of Toog's tribe. Teeka saw them first and screamed a warning to Tarzan and Taug.
