It was a bobtailed, rawboned animal, but, as Tom complacently remarked to Alida, "He can pass about anything on the road" a boast that he let no chance escape of verifying. It was a terrible ordeal to the poor woman to go dashing through the streets in an open wagon, feeling that every eye was upon her.
"The Staines and Egham Gazette," which had always supported the Runnymede hunt, declared in very plain terms that all who rode with the Major were enjoying their sport out of the plunder which had been extracted from Lord Silverbridge. Then a meeting was called for Saturday, the 18th December, to be held at that well-known sporting little inn The Bobtailed Fox.
If pedants be damned for whipping poor little innocent wretches their scholars, he is, upon my honour, by this time fixed within Ixion's wheel, lashing the crop-eared, bobtailed cur that gives it motion. If they are saved for having whipped innocent lads, he ought to be above the An end of the storm. Shore, shore! cried Pantagruel. Land to, my friends, I see land!
A woman, in full sunlight, was throwing a dripping blanket over a line stretched between two old apple-trees.

The Emperor, surrounded by his suite of officers and courtiers, was riding a bobtailed chestnut mare, a different one from that which he had ridden at the review, and bending to one side he gracefully held a gold lorgnette to his eyes and looked at a soldier who lay prone, with blood on his uncovered head.
In two or three minutes he was back again, and went to stuffing himself as before; then he disappeared a second time, and I imagined told a friend of his, for in a moment or two along came a bobtailed chipmunk, as if in search of something, and passed up, and down, and around, but did not quite hit the spot.
Of course your Lordship and me is two now; but that don't alter the facts. What I want is your Lordship to send me a line, just stating your Lordship's opinion that I didn't do it, and didn't have nothing to do with it; which I didn't. There was a meeting at The Bobtailed Fox yesterday, and the gentlemen was all of one mind to go by what your Lordship would say. I couldn't desire nothing fairer.
He's got a black coat on and a kind face, sad-like. 'Maybe if you took an axed him, he'd marry you when the moon falls down the chapel chimney and rabbits chase the bobtailed sheep-dog! 'I'm not for marrying anybody. Let's go in, said Hazel. She took off her hat and coat, to enter more splendidly.
