Higgins was knocked down at once, bounding up like a rubber ball and cheering the man who struck him. "That was a peach, that one!" he roared, and returned the compliment.

Suddenly he saw her face darken. "Promise!" she demanded almost fiercely, "or I will not abide by my promise to you." "I promise." An expression of relief came into Prudence's eyes, and she stepped towards him and looked up into his face. "Good-bye, George, dearest." The man suddenly clasped her in a bear-like embrace and rained passionate, burning kisses on her upturned lips.
There was nothing about them heavy or bear-like as commonly understood; lightly they swung from bough to bough till they dropped to the ground, and all went off together into the woods. I was much tickled by the prompt obedience of the little Bears. As soon as their mother told them to do something they did it. They did not even offer a suggestion.
"Oh, shut up, Jack," called Bill. "Go about y'r business," he said to Jim, "or I'll take a hand." Jim's face flamed into a wild wrath. His lips lifted at the corners like a wolf's as he leaped the fence with a wild spring and lunged against Bill's breast. The larger man went down, but his great arms closed about his assailant's neck with a bear-like grip.
She remembered the events that followed when Jacques was paid liberally by the boss to make a midwinter journey to the railroad, and the low sound in the night when she awakened to find the girl struggling in the bear-like grasp of the huge lumberjack, and how she fought him off in the darkness with a hatchet while Jeanne fled shrieking into the timber.

The deep, growling noises it made, though they had only a very remote resemblance to the Spanish language, or indeed to any sort of human speech, were from long practice quite intelligible to Mr.
