Its steep cañon comes down from the breast of the most easterly of the Four Peaks, impassable except by the one trail; it passes through the box and there widens out into a beautiful valley, where the grass lies along the hillsides like the tawny mane of a lion, and tender flowers stand untrampled in the rich bottoms.
The crack followed quickly; and, on the instant, the hunters had the gratification to see the great tawny quadruped spring out from the log, and alight upon the sand where, in a second's time, he was surrounded by the dark drove, that from all sides rushed screaming towards him. It was a bit of good fortune that the bullet of Alexis had only wounded the jaguar, instead of killing him on the spot.
"Let me read myself," said Cinq-Mars, taking one side of the book. Old Grandchamp gravely advanced his tawny face and his gray hair to the foot of the bed to listen.

Off on the perilous flood for "faërie lands forlorn"! It made the world seem almost empty and very lonesome. And then the dog-days came, and I saw my river tawny, sinewy, gaunt a half-starved lion.
