"No," replied the Lizard, grinning. "I just dropped in to tell you that I grabbed a job for you." "Fine!" exclaimed Jimmy. "You're a regular fellow all right." "But you might not like the job," suggested the Lizard. "As long as I can earn an honest dollar," cried Jimmy, striking a dramatic pose, "I care not what it may be." The Lizard's grin broadened. "I ain't so sure about that," he said.
Whoever has looked at one of those paintings on china or silk that are sold in our bazaars, knows perfectly the pretty, stiff head-dress, the leaning figure, ever ready to try some new gracious salutation, the sash fastened behind in an enormous bow, the large, flowing sleeves, the drapery slightly clinging about the ankles with a little crooked train like a lizard's tail.
Nobody finds fault with Cherokee, an' as he ups an' plants the Stingin' Lizard's remainder the next day, makin' the deal with a stained box, crape, an' the full regalia, it all leaves the camp with a mighty decent impression. By first-drink time in the evenin' of the second day, we ain't thinkin' no more about it. "Now you-all begins to marvel where do we get to the hangin' of Cherokee Hall?

At this summons the Serpent arose to obey, and Hetty joined her sister. "'A stranger animal, cries one, 'Sure never liv'd beneath the sun; A lizard's body lean and long, A fish's head, a serpent's tongue, Its foot, with triple claw disjoined; And what a length of tail behind!" James Merrick, "The Chameleon," 11.21-26.
Silvestro laughed nervously. "Why should we fight, Castracane? Besides, we have no knives. How can we fight?" "Like this," said the other between his teeth. His left arm whipped out, like a lizard's tongue, and Silvestro lay flat on his back among the cistus flowers, seeing ink and scarlet clouds. "Stick a Jew indeed!" cried Castracane. "Stick a grandmother! Why, you're as soft as cheese!"
The lizard suddenly shot out from a hole and crossed over her fingers. She started, shivered at the cold touch, and caught the hand away. A sense of foreboding awaked in her, and her eyes followed the lizard's swift travel with a strange fascination. But she lifted them to Philip's, and the fear and premonition passed. "Oh, my brain is in a whirl!" she said. "I do not understand. I know so little.
There were, as I say, five of them, two being adults and three young ones. In size they were enormous. Even the babies were as big as elephants, while the two large ones were far beyond all creatures I have ever seen. They had slate-colored skin, which was scaled like a lizard's and shimmered where the sun shone upon it.
The Egyptian doctor did not know a very great deal about medicine and sickness, but he made up for his ignorance by the nastiness of the doses which he gave to his patients. I don't think you would like to take pills made up of the moisture scraped from pig's ears, lizard's blood, bad meat, and decaying fat, to say nothing of still nastier things.
