I do think, if they had waded off to us, I should have fought like a tiger!" "No doubt you would, my dear sir, and like a wild cat too!

But Mr. Leach has explained to you the plan of Mr.
"If he does, we'll have a good turn at the fish," said Bob. "Good night, if I don't see you again." "I say," said Bob, turning round and speaking out of the darkness. "Well?" "I don't wish 'em any harm; but I hope they won't see a blessed tiger all the time they're away." "So do I," said Tom. "Good night!" "Good night!"
Bathing there, O tiger among men, one blazeth forth like the Moon, and obtaineth, O bull of the Bharata race, the merit of the gift of a thousand kine. One should next proceed, O thou of the Kuru race, to Kumarakoti, with subdued senses, and bathing there, worship the gods and the Puris.
"Well, fellows, let's give one mighty cheer because of our good fortune," said Jerry, his face beaming with delight; for the chums were very fond of each other, and had a single one been left behind on the following year, when the college term opened, there would have been many a keen regret.

If he be half ruined I will offer him my advice and my purse if he need it for the sake of the memory of his mother, whom you resemble. Ah, 'tis thus we end all our disputes, naughty child! I grumble; I am passionate; I act like a Tartar. Then you speak with your good sense and sweetness, my darling, and the tiger becomes a lamb.
