No tough in New York would willingly have met him in rough-and-tumble fight. The younger man was more slightly built. He was a Hermes rather than a Hercules. His muscles flowed. They did not bulge. But when he moved it was with the litheness of a panther. The long lines of shoulder and loin had the flow of tigerish grace.
As soon as they had passed out of this hidden valley, where a whole race of men had gathered for refuge and wealth-building, Victoria felt, rather than saw, a change in Maïeddine. She hardly knew how to express it to herself, unless it was that he had become more Arab. Always "très-mâle," as Frenchwomen pronounced him admiringly, Si Maïeddine began to seem masculine in an untamed, tigerish way.
"Marry her?" Mordaunt's voice was low and quiet. "No!" cried Brandt. "She flaunted my love in my face, scorned me! She saw that borderman strike me, and by God! I'll get even. I'll keep her here in the woods until I'm tired of her, and when her beauty fades I'll turn her over to Legget." Scarcely had the words dropped from his vile lips when Mordaunt moved with tigerish agility.
Still holding Patricia in one arm, Landless rose from his knee, and stood confronting him. "We are met again, Señor Landless," said Luiz Sebastian smoothly. Receiving no answer, he spoke again with a tigerish expansion of his thick lips. "You have had an accident, I see. Mother of God! that foot must pain you! But you will forget it presently in the pleasure of the pine splinters."
Mother of God! they are both in the same boat!" He fixed his large eyes on Landless as he spoke, and his thick lips curled into a tigerish smile. Landless half rose, but Godwyn laid a detaining hand upon his arm. "Be still," he said in a low voice, "and let me manage this matter." Landless obeyed, and the mender of nets turned to the assembly, who by this time were looking very black.
It was smothered and then redoubled by the reverberations of the cañon, so that sometimes it seemed the tigerish snarl of a rapid, and sometimes the leonine roar of a cataract. A bend of the chasm at last brought the voyagers in sight of the monster, which was frothing and howling to devour them. It was a terrific spectacle.
"I detest it," said Rivington, with unusual energy. Dinghra drew a step nearer, noiselessly, like a cat. His lips began to smile. He could not have been aware of the tigerish ferocity of his eyes. "I should like to make a bargain with you, Mr. Rivington," he said. Rivington, his hands in his pockets, looked him over with a cool appraising eye. He said nothing at all.
She held in her hand an orchid, its structure that of an odontoglossum, but of a delicate green colour heavily splashed with scarlet a weird and unnatural-looking bloom. Just within the doorway she paused, as Deacon leaped up, and looked at him through the veil of the curved lashes. "For you," she said, twirling the blossom between her fingers and gliding toward him with her tigerish step.
Not a word to the same J. W. did Frank say of the base thing he had done; and as for the revenge he had vowed, the impulse to wreak it in tigerish fashion had passed like a night-fog before the breezy purity of the new life that had dawned. In a couple of days Frank had mostly recovered his equanimity.
Against this theory of revenge is the fact that Butler was a malignant ruffian and liar in any case, that, having realised very little in cash by the burglary at Stamper's house, he would not be particular as to where he might get a few shillings more, that he had threatened to do a tigerish deed, and that it is characteristic of his vanity to try to impute to his crime a higher motive than mere greed or necessity.
