That and a tooth-brush are, I think, all that we need.”
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, p. 52 · B2
A Wolf accustomed to moving his own cubs can, if necessary, mouth an egg without breaking it, and though Father Wolf’s jaws closed right on the child’s back not a tooth even scratched the skin as he laid it down among the cubs.
The Jungle Book, p. 5 · B2
But for the sake of the Honor of the Pack,--a little matter that by being without a leader ye have forgotten,--I promise that if ye let the man-cub go to his own place, I will not, when my time comes to die, bare one tooth against ye.
The Jungle Book, p. 24 · B2

The Jungle Book, p. 38 · B2
