"No, he was snarling over a dead buck." "Then you do deserve some respect." "If you like. But it was very easy. One bullet settled him. I was fined afterward." "Fined! for what?"

The ape-man's teeth were fastened in the back of Sheeta's neck and now he succeeded in encircling the beast's torso with his legs which he crossed and locked beneath the cat's belly. Leaping and snarling, Sheeta sought to dislodge the ape-man's hold upon him. He hurled himself upon the ground and rolled over and over.
It may be a weakness of mine that I have an incisive way of speech; but I threw all restraint to the winds and cut and slashed until the whole man of him was snarling. The dark sun-bronze of his face went black with wrath, his eyes were ablaze. There was no clearness or sanity in them nothing but the terrific rage of a madman.

And then from the background came an inarticulate sound, a strangled, snarling sob from Lionel. Sakr-el-Bahr turned slowly. He eyed the fellow a moment in silence, then he laughed. "Ha! My sometime brother. A pretty fellow, as God lives is it not? Consider him Rosamund.
The latter recognized the two as friends. "It is Toog," he growled. "Toog has come back with a new she." The apes waited his nearer approach. Teeka turned a snarling, fanged face toward them. She was not pretty to look upon, yet through the blood and hatred upon her countenance they realized that she was beautiful, and they envied Toog alas! they did not know Teeka.
In a moment the gypsy's hand covered her mouth and he was snarling in her ear. "None of that," he said, grittingly, "or I will find a way to make you keep still. You must do as I tell you now, or it will be the worse for you. Will you promise to keep quiet?" Bessie realized that there was no telling what this man would do if she did not promise and keep her promise.
Never was there a more thrilling sight than the advance of this splendid body of American and South American aeroplanes, flying by squadrons in long V's like flocks of huge birds, with a terrifying snarling of propellers.
