THE PANTHER by Rachilde (A story designed to be read aloud to an audience) From the subterranean regions beneath the circus the cage slowly climbed, bringing with it what seemed at first to be a fragment of the night incarnate. A grille slid aside. Released from her captivity into the resplendent light of day, the beast within came out on to the sand of the arena, glorying in the warmth and brightness as she passed before the cloth of gold, tasselled with purple. The creature was young, handsomely clad in that regal mourning-dress which all black panthers wear. She carried herself very precisely on her long, lithe limbs. The gaze of her eyes, which were like enormous topazes, passed over those whom she did not care to contemplate, as though to stare at further horizons.
