Bernard with radiant jowls of tenderness, shining dewlaps of love; paternal, omnipotent, calm this deity, though sublime in its way, was too plainly an extension of their own desires. His prominent parishioners Mr. Dobermann-Pinscher, Mrs. Griffon, Mrs. Retriever; even the delightful Mr.
Their high withers, their broad dewlaps, their clean limbs, their small hoofs, shining like agate, their tails with the tuft carefully combed, showed that they were thorough-bred and that hard field-work had never deformed them. They exhibited the majestic placidity of Apis, the sacred bull, when it receives homage and offerings.
They rival in fleetness the little gigs or hackeries, as they are called, propelled by small and active brahmin bulls, gayly decked with tinkling bells. Some of the zebus, with their humped necks, deep dewlaps, silky hides, and deer-like limbs, are really handsome creatures.
