"I guess he's going to get a drink," said Mark. That was evidently the beast's intention. It went close to the spouting column of water, and thrust its head out so that its tongue could lap from the side. It seemed to have been in the habit of doing this. For once, and for the last time, however, it made a mistake. The water seemed to veer to one side.
He raised his voice in a perfect frenzy of shrieks, growls, and hideous moans, the while he reared upon his hind legs in futile attempt to reach first one and then the other of his tormentors. But at length the agile ape-man saw his chance, and rushed in upon the beast's left side behind the mighty shoulder.
"If workingmen don't stick to their Sunday," said Truman, "they'll soon have none left; it is every man's right and every beast's right. By God's law we have a day of rest, and by the law of England we have a day of rest; and I say we ought to hold to the rights these laws give us and keep them for our children."
Young Henri was chosen to put his head into Nero's mouth, and did so without fear or hesitation. He took the beast's jaws and pulled them apart, and laid his head within them, as he had done a hundred times before; but of a sudden an appalling, an uncanny, thing happened.
The American, thrusting the muzzle of his weapon into the furry neck of the great cat, let go with both barrels, blowing away the beast's throat and jugular vein and killing it instantly. With the aid of his badly frightened driver, he bundled the great striped carcass into the tonneau of the car and imperturbably continued on his bird-shooting expedition.
I told you long ago she would never love you; I knew long ago that she loved his Majesty, 'Pasquin Leroy!" "Curse you!" said Thord suddenly, in such low infuriated accents that the oath sounded more like a wild beast's snarl. "Why did you not tell me? Why did you not warn me?" Zouche shrugged his shoulders, and began to sidle aimlessly along the roadway.
With an economy worthy of Silhouette, the scamp had taught Adrienne for that was the beast's name to bray every time he said "Pommes de terre, de terre terre!" As often as he said this, or "Chante, Adrienne, chante!" Adrienne would switch her tail and chante lugubriously, setting the whole neighborhood in commotion.
But the man wrenched his arm away, and cowered back coughing and trembling and trying to push the Station Master away. "Oh, don't!" said Bobbie; "don't you see how frightened he is? He thinks you're going to shut him up. I know he does look at his eyes!" "They're like a fox's eyes when the beast's in a trap," said the farmer. "Oh, let me try!"
Anthony laid a strong hand on the little beast's shoulder, while the French woman regarded him curiously out of long black eyes. "There, take that, you good for nothing cur," and a man kicked a dog in through the door, to lie in a twisted, bloody heap upon the floor. "What do you mean, you brute!" called Anthony, springing upon the miner, who immediately closed with him.
With this flattering address she threw off the coverlet with a vigorous gesture, and displayed all her beauties, which I might have gazed on with such different feelings from those which now filled my breast. For a moment I was silent with indignation. All my passion had evaporated; in those voluptuous rounded limbs I saw now only the covering of a wild beast's soul.
