Pa is the easiest man to fool ever I saw." "Well, I should think he would kill you," said the grocery man. "Don't he ever catch on, and find out you have deceived him?" "O, sometimes. But about nine times in ten I can get away with him. Say, don't you want to hire me for a clerk?" The grocery man said that he had rather have a spotted hyena, and the boy stole a melon and went away.
He says in his vulgar language that there is no difference between the belly of a Mazitu-land hyena and that of any other hyena, and that the earth of Mazitu-land is as welcome to his bones as any other earth, since the earth is the wickedest of all hyenas, in that he has observed that soon or late it devours everlastingly everything which once it bore.
As she saw that laugh, of which she could not hear a sound, Melissa felt as though a hyena had yelled in her ear, and, yielding to an irresistible impulse, she looked down once more at the destruction of youthful life and happiness which had been wrought in one short hour at the stream of blood after which so many bitter tears must flow.
Now I'm going to drop all other business and find the fellow." "What for?" Tom inquired innocently. "What for?" echoed Jim, then added, ironically: "Why, I want to do the hyena a favor, of course." "If you go out to look for him, you're not going armed, are you?" Reade pursued. "Armed?" repeated Ferrers, with withering sarcasm. "Oh, no, of course not.
Here the latter is called "Sa'alab" which may, I have noted, mean the jackal; but further on "Father of a Fortlet" refers especially to the fox. Canon Rawlinson, in his unhappy version, does not perceive that the Halicarnassian means the jackal and blunders about the hyena. The root is evidently "layl"=nox, with, probably, the idea, "She walks in beauty like the night." "Bazi," Pers.
"The destruction even of an army momentarily shocks; but in the one breath the people will cry, 'war is hell; let us have war, for peace sake. And when war comes it never affects the cowards, the usurers, the rogues; they stay at a safe distance from the scenes of action, and, with the instinct of the hyena, they profit on the nation's calamity.
Caruthers nodded. "I would have come sooner," said Lyman, "but the fog was not defined until a few moments ago." "And I suppose your plan is to send me to the penitentiary. Tell me what you intend to do don't stand there looking at me that way. Give a man a chance to defend his honor." "Honor," Lyman repeated, with a cold smile. "You haven't as much honor as a hyena."
He would sooner have looked for mercy in a hyena. For Ignacio was of the race of the Inquisition; and of the horrors of the Inquisition this was a fair sample. The wretched American knew that he was alone and that he could look for no rescue. He was buried in the very centre of the earth or the centre of hades. And his cries would be heard only by Ignacio.
I've a hunch that we can handle Wharton all right through booze. A man can be made to marry anybody if he's drunk enough." "He's about ready to ask her SHE'S the one to fix. She hates men, though, and that Merkle story made her crazy." "Sore, eh?" "She talked the Dutch route thinks her good name is gone, and regards every man as a hyena." Melcher pondered for several moments.
He was croaked complete. Then that sober-faced hyena lifts my gun an' the rifle an' says things to me, which I don't try to cross him. Then he goes behind the rock where we was havin' it out an' while he's gone I tries to git my guns from under that devil-eyed cayuse of his'n. "An' I don't succeed noways. That black devil turns on a half-dollar an' plants his hoofs plumb in my breast-bone.
