The chair is beautifully burnished, covered with ruby velvet, and edged with ruby and gold fringe; the back is surmounted by a crown containing sapphires, with lions in support; another crown and the letter W being wrought on the velvet immediately underneath. In front of the chair is a footstool to match.
I wondered many other things which I have now forgotten. I was quite busy wondering for some time as I waited. In the meantime the lions failed to appear. Bushbuck, waterbuck, and lots of other herbivora appeared, but no carnivora. We raked the reed bed fore and aft, and combed the long grass in every direction.
Joan advocated lions repose on this holy festival, and the general feeling was in accord with her own.

Having introduced the two Paris lions to the ambitious skeleton that called itself woman under the name of Madame Piedefer a tall, lean personage, with a red face, teeth that were doubtfully genuine, and hair that was undoubtedly dyed, Dinah left her visitors to themselves for a few minutes. "Well," said Gatien to Lousteau, "what do you think of her?"
"What a modest devil you are," said the admiring Hamilton, "having a lion hunt all to yourself and not saying a word about it to anybody." Bones made curious apologetic noises. "I didn't know there were any lions in the country," pursued Hamilton remorselessly. "Liars, yes! But lions, no!
