Hills there were, to be sure; all the land rolled away in immense forested billows, but the mountains stood off on the right and left, frowning in the distance. A plague of flies harassed them continually, Hazel's hands suffering most, even though she kept religiously to thick buckskin gloves. The poisonous bites led to scratching, which bred soreness.
Is that the truth?" She bites her lips. "After all," with angry tearfulness, "I dare say it is. I believe you would rather keep me here for ever just to be able to worry the life out of me day by day." "You have a high opinion of me!" Rylton is white now with rage. "You are wrong there; I have the worst opinion of you; I think you a tyrant a perfect Nero!"
A coachman knows no other way of resisting the bitter cold to which he is exposed, than by drinking rye brandy. It sometimes happens that he drinks till he falls asleep, and then there is no awaking for him in this world. Unless one is very careful, it is easy to lose an ear, the nose, a cheek, or a lip by frost bites.
He was hungry and advanced to the meat, tearing off huge bites and gulping them down till the wire edge of his hunger was appeased, then sidled cautiously round the steer to nose the mating she-wolf. As he neared her his eyes peered over her at Breed. That foreign odor which he had noted he now traced to Shady, but having once accepted her it did not trouble him.
Flossie had taken only a few bites of her sandwich when she suddenly jumped up and ran to Nan. "Oh!" cried the little girl. "There's a snake! A snake!" Nan, though several years older than Flossie, was at first as much frightened by the cry of "a snake!" as was her little sister.
I'll bet that old resourceful Irish body would give it the first three bites and a strangle hold and wallop it before it knew it had 'em. Oh! Wow! Boy Howdy!" I heard him still chuckling gleefully over this vision as I passed along the opal wall with the green dwarf. A shell was awaiting us. I paused before entering it to examine the polished surface of runway and great road.
A white-haired German reached for a sandwich, and grunted between bites: "I know der breed. Ameriga is full of dot kind. I dell you you should imbort ropes' ends free under your dariff." "Pshaw! There isn't any real harm to him. He's more to be pitied than anything," a man from New York drawled, as he lay at full length along the cushions under the wet skylight.
As many as are subjected to the same treatment perish in the same way. Do they simply die of hunger in the presence of food which their appetites reject, or are they poisoned by the small amount of honey absorbed at the first bites?
"You are a pair of muffs! He, he, he!" "'Go to the ant, thou sluggard'," Mollie quoted slowly. "Oh Jerry " It took them some time to recover from this little misunderstanding. "Next time I see Aunt Mary bites like red-hot nippers oh dear!" "Well, come on and dig now," Hugh ordered at last, twisting a cord neatly round his last peg as he spoke.
Some tell how Ragnar Lodbrog, a great hero of these Northern tales, was seized by Aella, King of the Northumbrians, and was thrown into a dungeon full of serpents, and how, while he was dying of the bites of the serpents, he sang a wonderful death-song, telling of all his old fights, and calling on his sons to come and avenge him. The year 871 the Danes for the first time entered Wessex.
