It followed, further, that the Pope claimed also the power of granting dispensations from existing laws and absolution for their infringement.
At any rate, he did not show the complacence of the proper will-hunter. Taylor was rector of Bosworth and squire of Ashbourne. He was a fine specimen of the squire-parson; a justice of the peace, a warm politician, and what was worse, a warm Whig. He raised gigantic bulls, bragged of selling cows for 120 guineas and more, and kept a noble butler in purple clothes and a large white wig.

"Well," returned Jack with a smile, "it strikes me that you boast considerably about your own land." Frank's face reddened a trifle. "Maybe I do," he admitted, "but it's worth it." "So is England," said Jack quietly. "By George!
If I can induce him to turn the ranch over to me, I'll try to raise sufficient money to buy a couple of car-loads of pure-bred Hereford bulls and grade up that scrub stock; in four or five years I'll have steers that will weigh eighteen hundred to two thousand pounds on the hoof, instead of the little eight-hundred-pounders that have swindled us for a hundred years."

And reproaching the sons of Dhritarashtra, they said, 'What should we do? And those bulls of the Kshatriya race, with Vasudeva at their head, sat themselves down round Yudhishthira the just.

This is the case with the wild kindred of our bulls, horses, sheep, and camels, there probably being none of the original wild species of these groups now living, except those which have been more or less completely subjugated by man, and then have returned to the wilderness.
He never showed any outward demonstration of affection he growled at Tarzan as he growled at the other bulls who came too close while he was feeding but he would have died for Tarzan. He knew it and Tarzan knew it; but of such things apes do not speak their vocabulary, for the finer instincts, consisting more of actions than words.

A magnificent sight they were, with their white fighting-shields, their gleaming spears, their otter-skin caps, their kilts and armlets of white bulls' tails, and the snowy egret plumes which they wore upon their brows.
