With a shout of enthusiasm, several of the younger members of the party sprang forward into the plain at a gallop; but the shout was mingled with one of a different tone from the older men. "Hist! hallo! hold on, ye catamounts! There's Injuns ahead!"
"It may be an owl," he said, "because it has big, round eyes. But its tail was not like any owl's tail that I ever saw. It was like six catamounts' tails, all tied in knots." "That's queer!" his mother remarked. "I never knew of a bird with a tail like that." "Maybe it's a beast that has learned to fly," Sandy suggested. "Beasts can't fly," Mrs. Chipmunk said. But Sandy knew better than that.
As their hearts seemed to be as stout as their limbs, they would, he reflected, be unconquerable, these careless children of waste places. While Brock thus communed, he watched. There was little to choose between them Narcisse, Baptiste, Louis, Jacques, Pierre all strong as buffalo, all agile as catamounts. They would lift the "pieces" from the dripping canoe and land them on the slippery rock.
The mustache gave him an effect of exceeding fierceness, and the deeply wrinkled forehead and square chin added their testimony to his ungracious disposition. But Lahoma was not afraid of coyotes, catamounts or mountain-lions, and she was not afraid of Bill Atkins. Her eyes brightened at the discovery that he held in his hand that which Willock had described to her as a book.
When you can get the bitter out of the partridge's thigh, you can make an enlightened commonwealth of Indians. A provisional race, Sir, nothing more. Exhaled carbonic acid for the use of vegetation, kept down the bears and catamounts, enjoyed themselves in scalping and being scalped, and then passed away or are passing away, according to the programme.
One Sunday, when the Quaker and his wife were absent attending a meeting, the boys cut a long pole, and leaned it up against the side of the house, as high as the window, but so that it would not attract any attention. They were as nimble as catamounts, and could run up and down the pole without the slightest difficulty. They would go to bed at the usual early hour.
"Candace can handle a musket and so can little Phyllis at a pinch," said the elder Letitia thoughtfully, "but I for one am thinking that your Injuns are catamounts, Josephus Peabody." "They are Injuns," said the boy stoutly, peering out into the gloom. They were in perfect darkness, for it was a cloudy night, and not a ray came from the house-door.
But the other, apparently unhurt, charged into him, and both went down together. "It's big Oscar!" cried McHale. "That feller downed his horse. Holy catamounts! Look at them mix it! And here's the whole camp a-boilin' after us! Casey, did I hear you say this was the day I didn't need a gun?" Before they could pull up they almost ran over the fighting men. The two were locked in ferocious grips.
She threw herself on Jennings emitting sounds like forty catamounts tied in a bag. The flying crew jammed in the doorway, burst through and never stopped to look behind until they were well outside. "Hy-sterics," said the carpenter who was married "she's took a fit." "Hydrophoby she must a bit herself!" Porcupine Jim was vigorously massaging his neck.
"G-r-r-eat Caesar's ghost!" exclaimed Earle in amazement, as the creatures broke cover; "what have we here, anyway? Whatever they may be, they are certainly not human. And savage they're as full of gall as a wagon-load of catamounts! This is where we have to shoot to kill, Dick, and don't you forget it. We can't begin too soon either, so get busy, my lad. Darn that Indian! he's scooted.
