All these possibilities, the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, the pride of life; the tears of grateful orphans by the gallon; the prayers of Westminster Assembly's Catechism divines by the thousand; the masses of priests by the century; all these things, and more if more there be that the imagination of a lover of gold is likely to range over, the miser hears and sees and feels and hugs and enjoys as he paddles with his lean hands among the sliding, shining, ringing, innocent-looking bits of yellow metal, toying with them as the lion-tamer handles the great carnivorous monster, whose might and whose terrors are child's play to the latent forces and power of harm-doing of the glittering counters played with in the great game between angels and devils.

"We have been pals for years," said George "Billie is one of the best fellows in the world." "A charming girl." "She would give her last nickel to anyone that asked for it." "Delightful!" "And as straight as a string.

Secured from espial, absorbed in each other, they were able, thanks to the surrounding clamor of voices, to discuss their future plans with some degree of confidence. Simon told Abbott "Anyway, no amateur would rub up against those beasts, so I guess it's all right.
"What will people think of a superintendent of public schools caring for a show-girl, even if she is Fran Nonpareil. How would it affect your career?"

I'd never speak to a man who could feel ashamed of my mother.
"One is not a stateswoman and a daughter of kings for nothing," amended Colville, with his tolerant laugh; for he was always ready to make allowances. "Better, perhaps, that France should be left quiet, under the regime she had accepted, than disturbed by the offer of another regime, which might be less acceptable. You always remind me you, who deal with France of a lion-tamer at a circus.
"There! I never!" said Mrs. Miles. "You be a reg'lar out-and-out lion-tamer, miss." "I'm getting more and more hungry every minute," said Betty. "Will will tea be ready soon, Mrs. Miles?" "I was coming out to fetch you in, my loves." The whole party then migrated to the kitchen, which was ornamented especially for the occasion.
As if both to change the subject a little, as well as put his visitor in better mood though indeed it might have been but covertly to play with his enthusiasm the man of wisdom now drew his chair confidentially nearer to the stranger's, and putting one hand in a very friendly, conciliatory way upon his visitor's knee, and rubbing it gently to and fro there, much as a lion-tamer might soothingly manipulate the aggravated king of beasts, said in a winning manner: "Never mind at present, Captain, about the 'Indien' affair.
"True, dear uncle; but do not quite leave us, because of that." "Be sure I shall not: for I am curious as you are to see these terrible animals, and the famous Morok, the incomparable lion-tamer." A few minutes after, Mdlle. de Cardoville's carriage had left the Champs Elysees, carrying with it the little girl, and directing its course towards the Rue d'Anjou.
Talcott eyed her with the fixity of a lion-tamer. Their moment of instinctive closeness had passed. "Now see here, Mercedes," she said; "I advise you to be careful what you say." "Careful! I am half mad! Between you all you will drive me mad!" said Madame von Marwitz with intensity of fury.
