Once in a while, a mother cat and all her kittens were seen mewing for help, or a lady dog howling piteously. Often it happened that both puppies and kittens were drowned. So, whether for men or mothers, pussies or puppies, the Cymric men thought the time had come to stop this monster's mischief.
These were as hard as steel, and bulged out at the thighs. Along its back, was a ridge of horns, like spines, and higher than an alligator's. Against such a tough hide, when the hunters shot their darts and hurled their javelins, these weapons fell down to the ground, like harmless pins. On this monster's head, were big ears, half way between those of a jackass and an elephant.
"Perhaps if I wait awhile he will begin to eat him," reflected the dwarf, remembering the habits of crocodiles, "and then I can attack him when he rests and sleeps afterwards"; and, acting on this idea, he stood still, watching the green fire as it throbbed and quivered, waxed and waned in the monster's eyes.
She turned to flee; and there was the monster's mate, not quite so huge, but equally appalling. Behind her was an impenetrable wall of thorn-acacia. There was only one refuge a tree, all too small, but lofty enough to take her beyond the reach of those horrifying horned and immobile masks. Up the little tree she went, nimbly as a monkey, and crouched shivering in a crotch.
Then she loved him all the more, and said, 'But when you have killed him, how will you find your way out of the labyrinth? 'I know not, neither do I care: but it must be a strange road, if I do not find it out before I have eaten up the monster's carcase. Then she loved him all the more, and said 'Fair youth, you are too bold; but I can help you, weak as I am.
The bright white sails of a yacht shook and quivered as its steersman tried all he knew to coax his vessel an inch more into the wind out of the monster's path. In vain! He had to drop down the stream, and lose what it had taken him half an hour's skill to gain. What a pleasing monster to meet in the narrow arches of a bridge!
Queerly enough, as soon as they had left the dragon, the seats that were strapped to the monster's back disappeared, and this probably happened because there was no further use for them and because Quox looked far more dignified in just his silver scales.
And now it begins to suck in its prey; not lubricating it, as is generally stated, although a large quantity of saliva surrounds the animal while it is descending the monster's throat. After a time the meal is finished, and the serpent its body greatly distended remains at rest, unwilling to move, when it may be easily captured by the daring hunter. The body of the boa is of a rich brown colour.
Dick looked, and saw what a sailor dreads more than any human foe the black triangular fin of a huge shark which was noiselessly gliding by, just beneath the surface, and turning its wicked eye towards Charley and himself. A blow from the monster's tail or nose might easily upset the raft, when they to a certainty would become its prey.
They are judgments to the extent of one hundred and seventy thousand florins dost hear? one hundred and seventy thousand florins against you, which I have bought for less than quarter price from Jinkerini Bros, No. 124 Rialto. Here, sir; now you are released from yon monster's clutches." An expression of silent joy begins to steal over the face of Fidelia.
