"See to it that the cub is out of the house. And after that put a sentry outside the wench's door. Understand?" Kennard this time uttered a cry of protest. The helplessness of his position exasperated him almost to madness. Two men were holding him tightly by his sinewy arms.
The lion ran first, and as he came he roared; then followed the lioness, but she did not roar, for in her mouth was the cub that Umslopogaas had assegaied in the cave. Now they drew near, mad with fury, their manes bristling, and lashing their flanks with their long tails.
Hanover had never really approved of having an Italian villa crammed down its throat, and it was certainly not agreeable, to say the least, to have a lion cub at large as a dominating garden note. "You cannot keep him, even if you pulled all his teeth and taught him to be a dope fiend," Steve said in desperation after the roars of Tawny Adonis had been reported to the police as annoying.
Instead of heaving the young cub overboard to the sharks, as he ought to have done, our late chief, for some extraordinary reason which he never condescended to explain to us, chose to keep the young fellow alive, and not only so, but also to give the surgeon the strictest injunctions to nurse him back to health.
"And you have dragged me up to London simply to tell me this?" "Certainly. You always took a delight in coming when I called." It was evident that he had a strong hold over her. She trembled violently. "Are these lies I hear?" he went on, speaking with mocking emphasis. "Can it be possible you mean to marry that cub?" "Who has been telling you this?" "Answer my question."
With food and care he grew into a round, roly-poly ball of fur. He played merrily with Brutus and the kittens. And though at first he was a bit rough, they and John taught him better ways, so that he kicked and bit his friends no longer. As the months went by, they watched him change gradually from cub to wolf. They were sorry to see him lose his puppy looks and frisky manners.
Edd said they had as much right to trap as we had to hunt, but that was not the question. There had been opportunity to tell the Haughts about the big number four bear traps set in See Canyon. But they did not tell it. Edd had brought the dead cub back to our camp. It was a pretty little bear cub, about six months old, with a soft silky brown coat.
Hitherto the cub had acted exclusively on the defensive, and entrusted itself entirely to the protection of its dam, but now it seemed to change its character entirely. It sprang upon its mother's body, and, assuming an attitude of extreme ferocity, kept the dogs at bay, snapping and snarling right and left until the hunters came up.
"I'm not certain exactly where I shall be for the next few days," said the dismissed instructress of youth; "you might keep my luggage till I wire my address. There are only a couple of trunks and some golf-clubs and a leopard cub." "A leopard cub!" gasped Mrs. Quabarl. Even in her departure this extraordinary person seemed destined to leave a trail of embarrassment behind her.
"I'd like to return your goat, Bob, but I don't see how I can," Mr. Perry announced provokingly. "In other words, you don't see anything startling about that fellow's last performance," Cub inferred. "No o, nothing startling," his father replied slowly. "What do you make out of it, then?" "I don't know that I make anything out of it, except a lot of nonsense." "You think it's a joke?"
