Once I marvelled that a just God could order his chosen people to exterminate any race. Now I marvel that a just God hath not exterminated many races long ago. We reached the crest of a swelling upland as the first sun-rays came through the frost mist in shafts of fire. A quick halt was called. One white-garbed scout went crawling stealthily down the snow-slope like a mountain-cat.
We see one crafty and subtle he has the blood of the fox; another cruel, malicious, blood-thirsty he is descended from the wolf. The red skin is courageous the horse was his father; the white man is a coward his mother was a sheep. One is full of sprightliness and agility he is of the blood of the mountain-cat; another is clumsy the musk-ox was his father.
Her eyes had the glare of the mountain-cat When it springs on the hunter's spear, At the head of the board when that lady sate Hungry men could not eat for fear. And the tones of her voice had that deadly growl Of the bloodhound that scents its prey; No storm was so dark as that lady's scowl Under tresses of wintry gray.
Tom Faggus said that the necklace was made, he would answer for it, in Amsterdam, two or three hundred years ago, long before London jewellers had begun to meddle with diamonds; and on the gold clasp he found some letters, done in some inverted way, the meaning of which was beyond him; also a bearing of some kind, which he believed was a mountain-cat.

M. de Rivarol he take some of our men prisoners. Berhabs dey dell him. Berhabs he make dem tell. Id is a great obbordunidy." His lordship snarled like a mountain-cat.
Furred with snow, and bearded fearfully with ice; creeping like a mountain-cat on her prey; quivering under the last pound of steam she could carry, and hissing wildly as McGraw stung her heels again and again from the throttle, the great engine moved down on the blocked cut.

The bushes were soon so thick that he could no longer follow Crump by sight, and every few yards he had to stop to listen, and then steal on like a mountain-cat towards the leaves rustling ahead of him. Half-way up the ravine Crump turned to the right and stopped. Puzzled, Isom pushed so close that the spy, standing irresolute on the edge of the path, whirled around.
