'But it is so many years since I last visited this town that I could hardly expect it should be otherwise. After a short silence he continued 'And is the firm of Barnet, Browse, and Company still in existence? they used to be large flax-merchants and twine-spinners here? 'The firm is still going on, sir, but they have dropped the name of Barnet.
'I never would enter the park again, said Miss Temple. 'So far as worldly considerations are concerned, continued Ferdinand, 'it would perhaps be much better for us if we were to part with it. 'It must, indeed, be a costly place to keep up, said Mr. Temple. 'Why, as for that, said Ferdinand, 'we let the kine rove and the sheep browse where our fathers hunted the stag and flew their falcons.
And yet I had to keep close at hand and measure my advance exactly upon hers; for if I dropped a few yards into the rear, or went on a few yards ahead, Modestine came instantly to a halt and began to browse. The thought that this was to last from here to Alais nearly broke my heart. Of all conceivable journeys, this promised to be the most tedious.
What he wanted was to be free of mules and burros and steers, to roll in dust-patches, and then to run down the wide, open, windy sage-plains, and at night browse and sleep in the cool wet grass of a springhole. Jerd knew the sorrel when he said of him, "Wait till he smells the sage!"
"The manatee," explained Mr. Sneed. "They are curious animals. They browse around on the bottom of Florida rivers, and sea inlets, as cows do on shore, eating grass. We'll probably see some down here." "Are they dangerous?" asked Miss Dixon. "Not as a rule," answered the grouchy actor, who seemed to have taken a sudden interest in this matter.
Her thinking is more flexible and adaptive in the vegetable than in the mineral, and more so in the animal than in the vegetable, and the most so of all in the mind of man.

"Now I don't care what you do with yours," he said; "only, if you eat it all now, you'll be hungry enough to browse with the goats before it's time to go home. Better take just a bite and a drink of water and eat more by and by." Seppi looked hungrily at his portion and took a bite.
Now I haven't any money; I've overdrawn my balance and my salary; Portlaw is bilious, peevish, unapproachable. If I asked you for a loan I'd only fall a victim again to my insatiable scientific curiosity. So I'll just lie here and browse on cigarettes and grape-fruit until something happens " "If you need any money " "I told you that we are more or less alike," nodded Malcourt.
Roaming over the desert which hems in the delta, solitary shepherds, strangely clad and wild-looking, herd their flocks of sheep and goats which browse upon the scrub. These are the descendants of those same Ishmaelites who sold Joseph into Egypt, and the occasional encampment of some Bedouin tribe shows us something of the life which the patriarchs might have led.
The tall giraffe, with his prehensile lip, raised nearly twenty-feet in the air, can browse upon these trees without difficulty. Not so the elephant, whose trunk cannot reach so high; and the latter would often have to imitate the fox in the fable, were he not possessed of a means whereby he can bring the tempting morsel within reach that is, simply by breaking down the tree.
