By the time that it was finished darkness had fallen, and before they turned in to sleep in the neat reed hut that the Ogula had built, Alan and Jeekie walked up the island to see if the lioness had been skinned, as they directed. This they found was done; even the carcase itself had been removed to serve as meat for these foul-feeding people.
Irena was unusually tall, but her excessive narrowness, her tiny bones, and the delicate way in which she held herself deceived the eye and gave her a little appearance. "So she is; but who could be afraid of her? Why, I could pick her up and throw her over that moon of yours." "Madame is strong. Madame is like the lioness.
I folded my arms round her tighter at these thoughts, for the lioness was mine and I owned her. Perhaps, after all, it was worth while to suffer that agony of self-reproach I had just now, and was suffering still, to see put in such shining light before me her courage and her worth.
The trainer took a step forward, raising his whip. "You Queen!" he said sharply. She growled, not stirring. A sudden movement of the lions behind him made the trainer glance round quickly. There was a roar, and a yellow streak cleft the air. A child's voice screamed. The tamer's spring aside was too late, He went down on his face, the lioness upon him.
Now I felt that if I hesitated any more, all would be finished. The lioness was much longer than Higgs a short, stout man and her hind quarters projected beyond his feet. At these I aimed rapidly, and, pressing the trigger, next second heard the bullet clap upon the great beast's hide. Up she sprang with a roar, one hind leg dangling, and after a moment's hesitation, fled toward the sand-hill.
She is what you may really call good. She is as good as gold. I know a woman when I see her; and I know that for one like her there are fifty not fit to hold a candle to her. She has nothing mean or little about her nothing. They may call her a lamb, but she can be a lioness too when there is an occasion." "I know that she is steadfast," said he.
Public admiration was a great help to her, after she had passed through that crisis in her grief during which she could feel nothing but the horror of knowing she should never see her father again, when she had ceased to weep for him incessantly, to pray for him, and to turn, like a wounded lioness, on those who blamed his reckless conduct, though she herself had been its chief victim.
"Hardly were the words out of my mouth when back she came, and again passed the ox without striking him. "'What on earth is she doing? whispered Harry. "'Playing with it as a cat does with a mouse, I suppose. She will kill it presently. "As I spoke, the lioness once more flashed out of the bush, and this time sprang right over the doomed and trembling ox.
Society was somewhat scattered in those days, and the cave twain, anywhere, were generally as steadfast as the lion and the lioness.
I am a priest like that, which is why all my fellowship have hated me." "If so, you have paid back their hate, Zikali, but cease to cast round the lion, like a timid hound, and tell me what you mean. Of whom do you speak?" "That is the trouble, Macumazahn. I do not know. This lion, or rather lioness, lies hid in the caves of a very distant mountain and I have never seen her in the flesh."
