Then its upper lip slowly lifted, and I saw the whiteness of its teeth. Surely no human being ever stared as hard as I did in those next few minutes. Yet, the harder I stared the clearer appeared the amazing and monstrous apparition. THEN ITS UPPER LIP SLOWLY LIFTED AND I SAW THE WHITENESS OF ITS TEETH SURELY NO HUMAN BEING EVER STARED SO HARD AS I DID IN THOSE NEXT FEW MINUTES YET THE HARDER I STARED THE CLEARER APPEARED THE AMAZING AND MONSTROUS APPARITION
my confusion and excitement, I failed to understand, the doctor accomplished his purpose, and the next minute I heard him say sharply under his breath, "It's out! Now watch!" At this very moment a sudden gust from the sea blew aside the mist, so that a lane opened to the sky, and the moon, ghastly and unnatural as the effect of stage limelight, dropped down in a momentary gleam upon the door of Sangree's tent, and I perceived that something had moved forward from the interior darkness and stood clearly defined upon the threshold. And, at the same moment, the tent ceased its shuddering and held still. There, in the doorway, stood an animal, with neck and muzzle thrust forward, its head poking into the night, its whole body poised in that attitude of intense rigidity that precedes the spring into freedom, the running leap of attack. It seemed to be about the size of a calf, leaner than a mastiff, yet more squat than a wolf, and I can swear that I saw the fur ridged sharply upon its back. UBTEDLY MENTAL BUT WHICH IN MY CONFUSION AND EXCITEMENT I FAILED TO UNDERSTAND THE DOCTOR ACCOMPLISHED HIS PURPOSE AND THE NEXT MINUTE I HEARD HIM SAY SHARPLY UNDER HIS BREATH IT'S OUT NOW WATCH AT THIS VERY MOMENT A SUDDEN GUST FROM THE SEA BLEW ASIDE THE MIST SO THAT A LANE OPENED TO THE SKY AND THE MOON GHASTLY AND UNNATURAL AS THE EFFECT OF STAGE LIMELIGHT DROPPED DOWN IN A MOMENTARY GLEAM UPON THE DOOR OF SANGREE'S TENT AND I PERCEIVED THAT SOMETHING HAD MOVED FORWARD FROM THE INTERIOR DARKNESS AND STOOD CLEARLY DEFINED UPON THE THRESHOLD AND AT THE SAME MOMENT THE TENT CEASED ITS SHUDDERING AND HELD STILL THERE IN THE DOORWAY STOOD AN ANIMAL WITH NECK AND MUZZLE THRUST FORWARD ITS HEAD POKING INTO THE NIGHT ITS WHOLE BODY POISED IN THAT ATTITUDE OF INTENSE RIGIDITY THAT PRECEDES THE SPRING INTO FREEDOM THE RUNNING LEAP OF ATTACK IT SEEMED TO BE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A CALF LEANER THAN A MASTIFF YET MORE SQUAT THAN A WOLF AND I CAN SWEAR THAT I SAW THE FUR RIDGED SHARPLY UPON ITS BACK
