They are later described by writers as a combination of beautiful women and birds.

Margot is delighted when Francis runs from the lion; because she thinks it would give her more psychological control over him.
In Twain’s, “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”, he uses satire he uses satire to tell his readers that strangers shouldn’t be trusted so easily and can be costly if that trust is abused. This is proven when the stranger says “Well I may be a stranger here, and I ain’t no frog; but if I had a frog, I’d bet you”.
