Sitting among the heather, small, lithe, and felinely graceful, watching him with a provocative smile in her rather narrow eyes, she compelled his attention. "Well," she laughed, "you're not much of a courtier. But doesn't that story bring you back into touch with elemental things treacherous mosses, dark nights, flooded rivers, passion, peril, dauntlessness?
I will forthwith go to my chamber, and apparel myself becomingly not forgetting, in case of the worst, to wear my mail under my robe. Vouchsafe me but an armourer, just to rivet up the rings through which scratched so felinely the paw of that well- appelled Griffin." "I accept your offer frankly," said Harold, "and all shall be prepared for you, as soon as you yourself will re-seek me here."
Trevison answered, and he and the Judge walked forward to meet Levins at the crest of the slope. "Slicker'n a whistle!" declared Levins, answering the question Trevison put to him. "I mailed the damn letter an' come back on the train that brought it to him!" He grinned felinely at the Judge. "I reckon you're a heap dry an' hungry by this time?" "The Judge has feasted," said Trevison.
He grinned felinely at the other, and when he spoke there was cold, taunting contempt in his voice. "I'm doin' it, Antrim! I'm tickled to get the chance. But where are you goin' to be tonight?" Antrim flushed darkly. He laughed. "I'm figurin' to do a man's work tonight or tomorrow, Slade.
"That offer of a hundred to the man who can beat that shootin' still goes," he declared. "An' I'm taking off the condition. The man that tries don't have to belong to Dry Bottom. No stranger is barred!" The stranger's glance again met the shooter's. The latter grinned felinely. Then the rider spoke. The crowd gave him its polite attention.
But Nyland had not been hit, and he grinned felinely as he dropped to the ground, slipped under the window, and ran around the house. Ducking under the side window he ran around to the front. From the front window he could look through the house, and he saw the man, gun in hand, watching the side door.
How the children perhaps because they had not yet grown quite away from the breast of the bounteous Mother threw themselves face downward on her brown bosom with uncouth caresses, filling the air with their laughter; and how Miss Mary herself felinely fastidious and intrenched as she was in the purity of spotless skirts, collar, and cuffs forgot all, and ran like a crested quail at the head of her brood until, romping, laughing, and panting, with a loosened braid of brown hair, a hat hanging by a knotted ribbon from her throat, she came suddenly and violently, in the heart of the forest, upon the luckless Sandy!
It was impossible to imagine a Scotswoman practising so felinely elastic an attitude before the open street, or possessing a face so ecstatic with pertness, or finding herself inside a dress which, though black, disclaimed all intention of being mourning and sought rather, in its clinging economy, to be an occasion of public rejoicing.
Noailles has Five effective Batteries, at the various good points, on his side of the River: and that is nothing to what he has got ready for us, were we once at Dettingen, within wind of his Two Bridges a little beyond! Noailles has us in a perfect mouse-trap, SOURICIERE as he felinely calls it; and calculates on having annihilation ready for us at Dettingen.
Brooks was perfectly aware that her visitor was of unknown Western origin, and a poor but clever protege of the rich banker; but she was one of a certain class of American women who, in the midst of a fierce democracy, are more or less cat-like conservators of family pride and lineage, and more or less felinely inconsistent and treacherous to republican principles.
