A panther-like side-leap, a whirl of glimmering steel, and his long blade smote sparks from Beltane's bascinet, whereat Roger's smile, incontinent, vanished, and his face waxed suddenly anxious and long. But fierce and fiercer the stranger knight beset my Beltane, the while he lashed him with mocking tongue: "Call ye this fighting, sir youthful outlaw? Doth thine arm fail thee so soon?
Latimer, a tawny giant of a man with a long, hooked nose, and thin, cruel lips, interested Harlan. He watched the man when the other was not conscious of his glances, noting the bigness of him, his slow, panther-like movements; the glowing, savage truculence of his eyes; the hard, bitter droop of his lips under the yellow mustache he wore.
So swift and majestic, Josephine de Beaurepaire came from her chair with one gesture of her body between her mother and the notary, who was advancing with arms folded in a brutal, menacing way not the Josephine we have seen her, the calm languid beauty, but the demoiselle de Beaurepaire her great heart on fire her blood up not her own only, but all the blood of all the De Beaurepaires pale as ashes with great wrath, her purple eyes on fire, and her whole panther-like body full of spring.
The spectators still followed the surveyor and his Jacob's-staff, but Purdee lingered. He walked around the fence with a fierce, gloating eye, a panther-like, loping tread, as a beast might patrol a fold before he plunders it. All the venom of the old feud had risen to the opportunity. Here was his enemy at his mercy.
Our sleeping-bags were now put to a severe test between the damp ground and the heavy mountain dew. The penetrating cold, and the occasional panther-like cry of some prowling animal, kept us awake the greater part of the night, awaiting with revolvers in hand some expected attack.
The great fellow came abruptly to his feet, not with the ponderousness of most giants, but with a panther-like agility and smoothness. "I am idle yes so far as it is idle for a man to refuse to go on despoiling weaker men for gain but why not? I can spend a fortune every year for a long life-span, and still leave loot a-plenty behind my taking off. Yet, my idling is not mere slothfulness.
Faith, I never did! I am young, healthy, rich, yes, rich! Now you know all, and you had better tell it, that I may win no man's courtesy and no maiden's love upon false pretences. I have not even a right, you see, to the name I bear. Hist! let me catch that squirrel." With what a panther-like bound he sprang!
He stole along almost furtively, but with a proud upright carriage of his neck, a backward tilt of his fine head, a distention of his nostrils that lent to his appearance a panther-like pride and stealthiness. No one saw him. Suddenly he broke through the group and mounted the steps beside Collins.
There was something panther-like in those restless footfalls, a meaning velvetyness that made him shiver, and again he wished he were dead or elsewhere. After a time the hall door opened, and someone came upstairs, along the passage, and to the little woman's room. As he entered, she turned and faced him. "Christie," he said harshly, "do you know what you have done?"
Consequently I am still in command and awaiting your instructions. Peasley. For a long time Cappy Ricks kept looking sternly at Mr. Skinner over the tops of his spectacles. There was blood on the moon again, and the silence was terrible. He kept rocking gently backward and forward in his swivel chair, for all the world as though preparing for a panther-like spring at Mr. Skinner's throat.
