"No, you don't!" commanded Warrington. "Let go that handle! What I want to know is why were you so afraid at Yasmini's?" "I, sahib?" "Yes, you! I saw your face in a mirror, and you were scared nearly to death. Of what?" "Who is not afraid of Yasmini? Were the sahibs not also afraid?" "Of what besides Yasmini were you afraid? Of what in particular?" "Of her cobras, sahib!"
I made inquiries in Bangalore on this subject. Now Bangalore is a place which always had a bad reputation as regards cobras.
“He may do so yet,” she answered. “Perhaps——” “Never!” cried a voice from the lattice. “They are leading him to Gülgolta now.” Beyond, through the palace gate, a mass undulated, the body elongated, expanding as it moved. It was black, but at the sides was the glisten that cobras have. About it dust circled, and from it came the rumble of thunder heard afar.
The Indian serpent-charmers of whom you have heard know this, and before they allow themselves to be bitten by the deadly cobras, with which they are so fond of playing their feats of jugglery, are careful to extract their sharp poison-fangs.
"I'll be most happy to introjuce you to four uv 'em I killed," added Felix; and Scott was convinced against his will, and the dead serpents were put on the wagon.

Being aware that the Government gladly offers any premium for the invention of a remedy for the bite of the cobra, we did not show any unreasonable interest on the appearance of this stone. In the meanwhile, the buni began to irritate his cobras. Choosing a cobra eight feet long, he literally enraged it. Twisting its tail round a tree, the cobra arose and hissed.

The use of an open door is hardly trespass under the law of any land; and dawn is an excellent time for the impecunious who take thought of the lily how it grows in order to outdo Solomon. When a house changes hands in Rajputana there pass with it, as well as the rats and cobras and the mongoose, those beggars who were wont to plague the former owner.
