| The graybeard behind him is Numa, the lawgiver, and next comes Tullus, the warrior. |
|
| Numa raised a temple to Romulus, whom he deified under the name of Quirinus. |
|
| The first ancile was supposed to have fallen from heaven in answer to the prayer of Numa Pompilius. |
|
| And the lady herself was a furbelowed egeria to a powdered Numa. |
|
| They had passed but a short distance to the rear of Numa when the boy caught the unpleasant odor of the carnivore. |
|
| As he trailed Akut he kept an eye cocked over one shoulder, rearward, in the hope that Numa might rise from his kill and reveal himself. |
|
| Tarzan made a face at the king of beasts, whereat Numa, greatly to the ape-man's surprise, started to climb up into the branches toward him. |
|
| An out-cropping of decomposed granite not far from Numa suggested ammunition of a much more painful nature. |
|
| Behind him came Meriem and in front, prowling ahead waiting a favorable opportunity, skulked Numa, the lion. |
|
| Induced by these feelings, I was of course led to admire peaceable lawgivers, Numa, Solon, and Lycurgus, in preference to Romulus and Theseus. |
|
| Together we teased Numa when we were still little apes, throwing sticks and nuts at him from the safety of high branches. |
|
| The gentle gazelle feared him not, yet Numa, lord of the jungle, gave him a wide berth. |
|
| Numa eyed him with growing resentment and rage as, between mouthfuls, the ape-man growled out his savage warnings. |
|
| Now, indeed, was Numa, the lion, reduced to the harmlessness of Bara, the deer. |
|
| Korak's spear struck Numa in the shoulder, knocking him from his precarious hold upon the frantically plunging horse. |
|
| Then commenced a bombardment which brought forth earthshaking roars from Numa. |
|
| Numa had seen this happen before, and so he became almost rigid lest he be the one to send them galloping, waterless, back to the plain. |
|
| Numa, his yellow-green eyes round and burning with concentrated hate, glared up at the dancing figure above him. |
|
| Even Dango, the hyena, eater of offal, would, at the moment, have seemed a tidbit to Numa. |
|
| There hasn't been a man eater around here for two years, Bwana says, and the game is so plentiful that there is no necessity to drive Numa to human flesh. |
|
|
|
| His yellow-green eyes were fastened upon Tarzan as he halted just within the clearing and glared enviously at the successful hunter, for Numa had had no luck this night. |
|
| Even the individuals became less watchful and alert, so that one might have thought Numa and Sabor and Sheeta entirely deleted from the scheme of things. |
|
| Caching the remainder of the deer's hind quarter in the crotch of a tree the ape-man wiped his greasy palms upon his naked thighs and swung off in pursuit of Numa. |
|
| The younger man he instantly recognized as the same he had seen with his arms about the girl in the moonlit glade just the instant before Numa charged. |
|
| They would be content to escape today the menace of Numa, while Tarzan saw the necessity, and the means as well, of safeguarding the days to come. |
|
| Thus did the scent of Numa, the lion, transform the boy into a beast. |
|
| Superb, majestic, his graceful tail extended and quivering, and his two eyes of fire riveted full upon his prey, stood Numa EL ADREA, the black lion. |
|
| The foundation of the original government of Rome was laid by Romulus, and the work completed by two of his elective successors, Numa and Tullius Hostilius. |
|
| Fearless among his blood enemies he stood, taller by a full head than many of Mbonga's warriors, straight as their straightest arrow, muscled like Numa, the lion. |
|
| Having taught Numa the rudiments of being driven, he now urged him forward and there commenced as strange a journey as the unrecorded history of the jungle contains. |
