A savage growl
close behind him apprised Tarzan of the nearness of Taug, and the fact that the bull had heard the warnings and threats of his mate and was coming to her succor.
When he saw her
close enough to touch it, Oolanga stepped forward from his concealment, and spoke in a whisper, which through the gloom sounded like a hiss.
He turned and ran toward it, shouting an alarm to his wife to run in and
close the great door in case the ape cut off his retreat.
"I thank you, Captain, I shall use my own steed, which is waiting for me

close to the ear of his chief.
Turjun, the panthan, crept
close to the companionway, his sinuous fingers closing tightly upon the hilt of his dagger.
The other thing was that if they did not pull it down for a few minutes it would have completed its circle and returned

"And now come in and see my study--we shall have just time before dinner; and afterwards, before calling over, we'll do the

close to the chamber.
He noticed, however, that Akut kept always
close to him, and was often looking at him with a strange wonder in his little bloodshot eyes, and once he did a thing that Tarzan during all his long years among the apes had never before seen an ape do--he found a particularly tender morsel and handed it to Tarzan.
