Since the day Hardy's factory had been destroyed by fire, Jacques had not quitted Morok, passing the nights in excesses, which had no baneful effects on the iron constitution of the lion-tamer.
Alone, without any one to accompany her, and having only the protection which the lion-tamer has when he enters the cage of the fierce monsters the look of the eye and the commanding mien!
As he said the words, he felt as the lion-tamer does when he puts his head in the lion's jaws. He expects to take it out again, but if the lion should take a notion His suspense was, however, of the shortest possible duration, for instantly, like a reviving sprinkle on a fainting face, the words fell on his ear: "I thank you for the honor, but I 'm sure we are not suited."
Fischer, however, relates the case of a lion-tamer whose whole left arm was torn from the shoulder by a lion; the loss of blood being very slight and the patient so little affected by shock that he was able to walk to the hospital. Mussey describes a boy of sixteen who had his left arm and shoulder-blade completely torn from his body by machinery.
Then in a voice almost shrill with pain and indignation, he cried out as he had never done in his life: "Nothing, nothing, nothing but disgrace! My God in heaven! a lion-tamer a gipsy! An honourable name dragged through the mire! Go back," he said grandly; "go back to the woman and her lions savages, savages, savages!" "Savages after the manner of our forefathers," Gaston answered quietly.
In spite of himself, the lion-tamer, fascinated by terror, could not take his eyes from the large green eyes of this man, and it seemed as if every one of the abrupt movements which he made in crawling along, was produced by a species of magnetic attraction, caused by the fixed gaze of the fatal wagerer. Therefore, the nearer Morok approached, the more ghastly and livid he became.
"Adrienne," said the marchioness, suddenly, in an agitated voice, "the lion-tamer has now come nearer is not his countenance fearful to look at? I tell you he is afraid." "In truth," observed the marquis, this time very seriously, "he is dreadfully pale, and seems to grow worse every minute, the nearer he approaches this side.
But it was nothing, he said, only the old wounds bothered him somewhat when rainy weather came on. Suddenly his face brightened with a recollection, for he was really as anxious to give me a story as I was to get it. "I suppose you've heard of the lion-tamer who was hated by another man?" he asked. He paused and looked pensively at a sick lion in the cage opposite.
His voice was the voice of the lion-tamer, hushed before danger to a quelling depth of quiet. And like the young lion, drawing long breaths through dilated-nostrils, Augustine growled back: "I will not I will not. You shall not go to her. I would rather kill you." "Kill me?" Sir Hugh smiled. "It would be a fight first, you know." "Then let it be a fight. You shall not go to her."
"By Jove, not to the man himself!" "Would you think, then," I asked, with a smile, looking across the rug at him as we stood by the fire, "that the existence of a lion-tamer was quite the same as that of a maiden lady who kept cats?" He laid down his paper suddenly and stared at me. "I don't understand I you don't mean that you"
