Its verandas all day long were full of ministers, diviners, courtiers, and creatures. Here strolled the supple, panther-like Azimoolah, the self-asserted favourite of home society in the pre-Mutiny days. Teeka Sing, the Nana's war minister, had his "bureau" in a tent under the peepul tree there.
A circus life is not prone to encourage the virtue of early rising, and she was by nature indolent in a panther-like fashion, and was never in bed till half-past one or two in the morning. If she had known a little more she could have protested on the grounds that her position of leading lady did not involve the feeding of her animals.
She was got up to the best of her ability as a siren, more popularly a "vamp" a picker up and thrower away of men, an unscrupulous and fundamentally unmoved toyer with affections. Something in the exhaustiveness of her attempt fascinated Maury at first sight a woman with wide hips affecting a panther-like litheness!
"Take it!" hissed Cantor, leaping forward, panther-like, and making a sudden lunge. Throwing up his left arm to ward off the weapon, Dave felt the sharp sting of steel in his forearm. Heedless of his wound, Dave, with his right hand, gripped the wrist of the traitor. It was a struggle, now, of trained athletes.
I well deserved the slap, no doubt, that rang down with such lightning speed and force on my cheek, and, fortunately, Mrs. Austin arrested my panther-like spring toward Evelyn, or the nails I held in rest might have brought blood from her waxen face, and marred its symmetry for a season.
Then came a soft rustle of silken garments, the door opened, and my wife entered. She approached with her usual panther-like grace and supple movement, her red lips parted in a charming smile. "So good of you to come!" she began, holding out her two hands as though she invited an embrace; "and on Christmas morning too!"
The shot missed, and before the man could fire again Tarzan had swept the lamp from the mantel and plunged the room into darkness. The next they saw was a lithe form spring to the sill of the open window and leap, panther-like, onto the pole across the walk. When the police gathered themselves together and reached the street their prisoner was nowhere to be seen.
Why, you went to Olaf van"... "Stop!" cried the girl furiously, and sprang at him panther-like so that he fell back again in confusion, stumbled and collapsed upon a divan, with upraised, warding arms. "You Greek rat! you skinny Greek rat! Be careful what you think to say to me to ME! to ME! Olaf van Noord the poor, white-faced corpse-man! He is only one of Said's mummies!
He struck with downward, positive gestures on either side of the victim's head. Over another the negress towered, screaming with panther-like ferocity: "Git under de blood! Git under de blood!" As she screamed she struck down at the mourner with her clenched fist. On her face was the grin of a wildcat.
When they heard the call, "Puss, puss!" they scampered down the roof, leaped from the eaves, and vanished, one after the other, between the curtains of the open window. It was quite an ethnographic, so to speak, collection of cats; a panther-like French pussy from Dund, a Caucasian with long pointed ears, one from China with wavy silken fur and drooping ears.
