And he begged for it with feline gracefulness, the cajolery of a woman, the tenderness of voice of a beloved mistress craving for something, but the Commander did not yield, and to console himself, Mademoiselle Fifi exploded mines in the chateau d'Uville. The five men remained there, in a group, for a few minutes, inhaling the damp air.
When they have scented their game they stalk him, and if possible bag him in a feline solitude which has no fears for stout, ambitious hearts. The fear is that some other prowling mother of an eligible maiden may hit upon the same scent. Paul was invited to quiet dinners and a little music, to quiet dinners without the music, to a very little music and no dinner whatever.
"But what COULD it matter to YOU?" she said in soft amaze. "I don't know," his answer came after a moment's pause. "I have caprices of mood. Certain mental images made my temperature rise. Momentarily it did matter. One is like that at times. Andrews' feline face and her muscular fingers and the child's extraordinarily exquisite flesh gave me a second's furious shudder."
He hated the noisy Tartar women that surrounded him, aquatic and disgusting as crawfish, brown, stupid, and leering. He hated the feline yawling of their music. He hated the yellow water, swarming with boats, and settled with junks. He hated their pagodas, and their hideous effigies of their ancestors, looking like dumb idols.
They are the unfailing attendants of all flesh-hunters, human or feline; and also furiously pursue and persecute all eagles and true vultures that venture on that great sea of grass, to wander thereafter, for ever lost and harried, "the Hagars and Ishmaels of their kind."

Fred Ashman was struck almost breathless by what followed.
He watched her cross the courtyard, moving with all the grace and lightness of the feline race, and her simple black dress clothed her, he thought, exactly like the fur of the same supple species. She turned once to laugh at him from the porch with the glass door, and then stopped a moment to speak to her mother, who sat knitting as usual in her corner seat just inside the hall-way.

She was embracing him, rubbing her mouth against his neck with a feline purr. Before the captain could respond she continued with a childish voice: "My shark! My sea-wolf! who has made me wait all these hours!... Swear to me that you have not been unfaithful!... I can perceive at once the trace of another woman."
