Diving in under the other's surprisingly agile arms, he slashed the bear's stomach with one of his razorlike eyeteeth; then spun to one side and was out of reach. Down came the bear, on all fours; raging from the slash. Lurching forward, he flung his huge bulk at the dog. Lad flashed out of reach, but with less leeway than he would have expected.
"Don't say that, Jacky. It was in your ves'cut as usual?" "Yes. The lining is slashed with a knife." "Jacky, are you sure?" almost groaned the clown.

Grinaldi looked up sharply.
The old men would speedily recognize it, and the young men too, they have heard so many legends attaching to it. If it still exists it is well hidden; it would have too great an effect on the authorities would be like a red rag to a bull.

The footman in blue livery opened the coach door, and a young man, tall, handsome, wearing a blue velvet coat, the sleeves slashed with gold, an embroidered waistcoat, buff breeches, lace ruffles, and powdered wig, walked up the path accompanied by a gentleman several years his senior, faultlessly dressed, with crimson velvet coat and costly ruffles.

"Even if you were not in uniform, anyone can see that you are a soldier."

Whether through chance or intention, every possible clue to the victim's identity was missing.
"I was going to the ranch did you see him shoot that man and make the horse drag him make the horse he slashed that horse with the quirt and he went tearing down the road dragging it it was horrible!"
