It was true, it was true, that here in this huge city, with its stores of heaped-up wealth, human creatures might be hunted down and destroyed by the wild-beast powers of nature, just as truly as ever they were in the days of the cave men! Ona was now making about thirty dollars a month, and Stanislovas about thirteen.
"Beg pardon, sir, but there's a person, sir, in the hall wants to know if he can see the young gentlemen." "Eh? Who is it?" said the Colonel sharply. "Not one of the masters?" "No, sir. It's the proprietor, sir, of the big wild-beast show, sir, in the field Mr Ramball, sir." "Oh, pooh! pooh!" cried the Colonel. "Tell him the young gentlemen are engaged, and don't care to visit his show to-night."
Milo, now one of the candidates for the consulship, a man of determined and unscrupulous character, had turned his own weapons against him, and maintained an opposition patrol of hired gladiators and wild-beast fighters. The Senate quite approved, if they did not openly sanction, this irregular championship of their order.
Luckily, I knew enough of beast language not wild-beast language, but camp-beast language, of course from the natives to know what he was saying. He must have been the one that flopped into my tent, for he called to the mule, "What shall I do? Where shall I go? I have fought with a white thing that waved, and it took a stick and hit me on the neck."
But the pallid corpse-like face, the blue-black beard, the wild-beast look, in the eyes of the Marshal de Retz, ambassador of the King of France, were now more than ever heightened in effect by the studied suavity of his demeanour and the graciousness of language with which he was clothing what he had to say. "I have brought you together after taking counsel with my good Lord of Avondale.
If Jurgis so much as raised a hand against them, back he would go into that wild-beast pen from which he had just escaped!

Once, too, she had been with her brothers and Diodoros, Alexander's greatest friend, to see a wild-beast fight, followed by a combat of gladiators; but she had come home frightened and sorrowful, for what she had seen had horrified more than it had interested her.
Which do you like best, the the-ay-ter, the cir-cus, or wild-beasts? I did really like the the-ay-ter best, havin' thought of bein' a play-actor, as you know, but I considered I'd better let that kind o' thing slide jus' now, as bein' a little too romantic, right after the 'sylum, an' so I says, 'I've been once to a circus, an' once to a wild-beast garden, an' I like 'em both.
Space will not permit to tell of the wonders and excitement of that wild-beast hunt a hunt in which none must be killed but all must be captured without mar or wound.
After much consideration, his majesty enclosed his royal highness in a tower, warranted wild-beast proof, and forbade the chase to be mentioned in his hearing. The result was, that the locked-up prince died of look-jaw in consequence of tearing his hand with a nail in the picture of the lion. 'I shall send that apologue straight to Ormersfield.
