"They are not even wolves, but kinds of foxes, or rather of those dogs of the woods which they call 'guaras.'" "And those _guaras_, they bite ?" asked little Jack.
"Bah! Dingo would make only one mouthful of those beasts!" "Never mind," replied Jack, with a last yawn; "guaras are wolves, because they are called wolves!" And with that Jack fell asleep peaceably in Nan's arms, beside the trunk of the mango.

Mrs.Weldon, lying near her, gave a last kiss to her little boy, and her tired eyes quickly closed for the night.
A few moments later Hercules brought back to the camp Cousin Benedict, who had just gone off to commence a chase for pyrophores.

They are "cocuyos," or luminous flies, which the stylish put in their hair, like so many living gems.

These insects which throw a bright and bluish light from two spots situated at the base of their corselet, are very numerous in South America.

Cousin Benedict then counted on making a large collection, but Hercules did not leave him time, and, in spite of his recriminations, the negro brought him to the halting-place.
