My horse stood still trembling; nor was I less frightened, for my hair rose up on my head like bristles on a pig's back; and the sweat broke out on my face like raindrops. Not a word said the figure; only itremained standing still with arms folded on its breast, preventing me from passing.
The modern city bristles with sociological problems which demand a knowledge of most of the specialisms included in the complete science of sociology, and almost invite us to cast the horoscope of the future.
They are a pale orange-yellow, with a sprinkling of white bristles. The head is a shiny black and remarkably powerful; it already gives signs of the coming gluttony. The little animal measures scarcely two millimetres in length. The troop begins its steadying-work as soon as it comes into contact with its pasturage, the green cabbage-leaf.
His face was of the hue of copper. His belly was low and sunken. The bristles on his body all pointed upwards. His head was green. His ears were like arrows. His cheek-bones were high. His mouth was large, extending from ear to ear. His teeth were keen, and four of these were high and pointed. His tongue and lips were very long and of a coppery hue. His brows were long-extending.

Two or three times the King of the Wood himself the Boar of the Bristles and the Long Tusks came to see Gilly; he used to push open the door and then stand in the middle of the floor grunting and grunting.

"Boss?" He straightened in his saddle. "Kruger Bobs! By all special providences, where did you come from?" "Naauwpoort. Kruger Bobs come bring Nig to Boss." "Kruger Bobs, you're a genius."
