The Frenchman reeled, threw up his arms, and fell.
Napoleon, with a slight nod, beckoned to him to approach, and when Roustan, like a tiger-cat, noiselessly reached his side with two swift bounds, the emperor gazed with a long, searching look into the crafty, smiling face of his Mameluke. "So you listened to the conversation between the generals?" asked the emperor. "I don't know, sire," said Roustan, shaking his head eagerly.
Sometimes, in the midst of the stillness, a sudden yell or scream will startle one; this comes from some defenseless fruit-eating animal, which is pounced upon by a tiger-cat or stealthy boa-constrictor.

The clay tinted skin, the shaking hands, the disheveled garments what had happened to this schemer whom ill luck had made their master? He explained. "I went too near our prisoner.
