As to speaking of the entering Professor Challenger's “study-thrown” while he is in study:
“Servants would hardly dare to enter the room where glooming and glowering; the maned and bearded head looked up from his papers as a lion from a bone. Even his own daughter, Enid could dare him at such a time, and even she felt occasionally that sinking of the heart which the bravest of tamers may experience as he unbars the gate of the cage.”
The Land of Mist, Arthur Conan Doyle
