In the open plain beyond the forest the hunters were returning
from the day's sport. They were widely separated, hoping to
raise a wandering lion on the homeward journey across the plain.
The Hon. Morison Baynes rode closest to the forest. As his eyes
wandered back and forth across the undulating, shrub sprinkled
ground they fell upon the form of a creature close beside the
thick jungle where it terminated abruptly at the plain's edge.
He reined his mount in the direction of his discovery. It was

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Cromwell by William Shakespeare: FRISKIBALL.

For several days he wandered aimlessly, nursing his spite and
looking for some weak thing on which to vent his pent anger.
It was in this state of mind that the horrible, man-like
beast, swinging from tree to tree, came suddenly upon two
women in the jungle.
