What a grand sight that was! But the public is fooled.

I read somewhere that she trained those lions by love.

I don't believe it.

I saw her use a whip and a steel spear.
Moreover, I saw many things that escaped most observers--how she entered the cage, how she maneuvered among them, how she kept a compelling gaze on them! It was an admirable, a great piece of work.
Maybe she loves those huge yellow brutes, but her life was in danger every moment while she was in that cage, and she knew it.

Some day, one of her pets likely the King of Beasts she pets the most will rise up and kill her.
