Accordingly about 5 o'clock found him walking up the broad avenue, on either side of which were browsing deer in great numbers a very novel feature to anyone who for years had only seen such creatures wild excepting one time when but no I must withhold the temptation to wander off the broad avenue which leads the visitor up to the stately pile in front of him as, like he did a little further on, I would wish to get it over.
Griggs's yellow express wagon, drawn by old Nap who, after a week of browsing idleness in the four-acre field, was quite frisky and went at a decided amble down Elm Street and across the bridge.
In old hill pastures, in many parts of the North, one sees curious umbrella forms and other shapes of apple-trees, due to browsing by cattle. A little tree gets a start in the pasture. When cattle are turned in, they browse the tender terminal growth. The plant spreads at the base, in a horizontal direction. With the repeated browsing on top, the tree becomes a dense conical mound.
He had no forelock, and the hair along the ridge of his neck was a little longer than the rest, and stood erect. Browsing about on the soft and tender herbage of his woodland home, his teeth had as yet no tendency to become specialized. The molars had mounds upon them, developing, perhaps, more into the shape of the points of the hog's, but even still quite generalized teeth.
"'Oh, the calm of a pure, sincere soul! I exclaimed to myself, at the sight of this little tableau worthy of Greuze; 'oh, patriarchal philosophy! in a few minutes perhaps blood will flow in the streets, and here sits a handsome old man quietly sipping his coffee. He seemed like a lamb browsing upon a volcano."
Yours perhaps more filled than mine has been, because you have children; but really we have both been browsing like sheep." Mrs. Hardcastle now was almost irritated. "I cannot agree with you," she said. "Our lives have been full of good and pleasant things and I hope, dear, we have both done our duty." This, of course, ended the matter! It was so undoubtedly true each had done her duty.
"Well, I reckon it would amount to about that, if you come right down to the truth," he confessed, reddening a little. "You are afraid of him, too I suppose?" "I reckon it ain't just that," he parried, "but I ain't taking any foolish risks." Sheila rose and walked to her pony, which was browsing the tops of some mesquite near by.
So the wise girl retired for the time, but, of course, a good deal of the smell of hot cabbage remained behind, as it will do, and Toad, between his sobs, sniffed and reflected, and gradually began to think new and inspiring thoughts: of chivalry, and poetry, and deeds still to be done; of broad meadows, and cattle browsing in them, raked by sun and wind; of kitchen-gardens, and straight herb-borders, and warm snap-dragon beset by bees; and of the comforting clink of dishes set down on the table at Toad Hall, and the scrape of chair-legs on the floor as every one pulled himself close up to his work.
Well, here it is," and Cooper turned toward a large enclosure where several members of the family Camelidæ were peacefully browsing, with the exception of one that lay in a corner with drooping head and closed eyes, apparently lifeless.
Slipping down from the rock, they made their way round the base of the hill till they reached a spot directly to leeward of the thicket near which they had seen the deer browsing. From thence they advanced cautiously amid the high rocks and bushes till they got close to the forest, believing every instant that they should see the animal before them.
