"His look fascinates and confounds. He vomits flames." "He poisons the air with his breath." "He has the head of a dragon, the claws of a lion, and the tail of a fish."
"Steady, Trousers!" said Dicky in a soft voice, and smiled his girlish smile. Selamlik Pasha stared for a moment in black anger, then stuttered forth: "Will you speak for a dog of a slave that his own country vomits out?"
