fer-de-lance

We carry our umbrellas aloft in spite of the shade, and, shuddering, secretly envy the one who saw the Fer de Lance.

My friends white face tells the story; it was the Fer de Lance.

But the Fer-de-lance, whose nearest home is in Guiana, is not likely to have come on board ship.

This is the terrible fer-de-lance whose bite is so much dreaded; but this serpent has never made its way into Porto Rico.

He is either a fer de lance or a first cousin to it, and either is a sort of creature to keep away from.
