The bar and the gambling-tables were always his own care. These were the things he would never trust to other hands. The bartender was his helper only, who was never allowed to escape the observation of his lynx eyes.

'Constant practice has made Thompson a sort of amateur lynx. 'No. It was only to ask you to be in the study directly after lunch. There's a most unholy row going to occur shortly, as far as I can see. 'What, about this burglary business? 'Yes. Haven't time to tell you now. See you after lunch. After lunch, having closed the study door, Jim embarked on the following statement.
Once, the cub sprang in and sank his teeth into the hind leg of the lynx. He clung on, growling savagely. Though he did not know it, by the weight of his body he clogged the action of the leg and thereby saved his mother much damage.

The savages call him Pichou because he's ugly as a lynx 'LAID COMME UN PICHOU. Best sledge-dog and the gurliest tyke on the North Shore. Only two years old and he can lead a team already. But, man, he's just daft for the fighting. Fought his mother when he was a pup and lamed her for life. Fought two of his brothers and nigh killed 'em both.

He certainly did look very fierce, but I thought I knew the creature, as well as the men who were backing me. I retired, put a new film in place, and said: "Now, Preble, I'm going to walk up to that Lynx and get a close photo.
Having moved the stake to a little distance, and cleared away the snow, so that he might get at the grass without difficulty, I made up the fire, and put some of the lynx flesh to roast before it.
