Her lips snarled, her hands clawed like those of a cat, and out of her mouth came a hoarse imprecation. "I'll tear your heart out!" she snarled. "I'll kill you soul and body I'll rip you limb from limb!" We all recoiled in amazement and wonder. It was as if our friend had suddenly gone insane. I confess to a feeling of profound astonishment.
