The cat weighed more than Mop did, and was very gamy. And the encounter nearly cost a lawsuit. This was Mop's last public appearance. He retired to his bed before the kitchen range, and gradually and slowly he faded away: amiable, unrepining, devoted to the end.

"Our races here have usually been shot at fifty yards bounds," said Stevenson. "As you like," said Orme, "if that pleases Mr. Cowles." "Perfectly," said I, who indeed knew little about the matter. Orme stepped over to the coops where the birds were kept splendid, iridescent creatures, with long tails, clean, gamy heads and all the colors of the rainbow on their breasts.

And so in the end, with a smile on her lips that belied almost to herself the little run of fear through her heart, Alma's last kiss to her mother that night was the long one of felicitation. And because love, even the talk of it, is so gamy on the lips of woman to woman, they lay in bed, heartbeat to heartbeat, the electric pad under her pillow warm to the hurt of Mrs.

As a matter of fact, they gnawed it in an ogreish fashion, and in such haste that they could scarcely stop to plunge their bones into the salt for a flavouring. "I suppose you're quite sure this is chicken, Cadbury?" said Vickers presently. "Quite. Why do you ask?" mumbled Cadbury. "It struck me as being rather well, a trifle gamy, nothing more." "Pretend it's pheasant, then," said Cadbury.

But the colonel was particular about his bait, and would let none select it but himself. Consequently he had Jean Forette drive him in, telling Shag to meet him at a certain dock where they would drop down the inlet and try for "snappers," young bluefish, elusive, gamy and delicious eating. "You have not yet found a place?" asked the colonel of the chauffeur, as they rolled along.

Starbuck, a wave has such a great long start before it leaps, all round the world it runs, and then comes the spring! But as for me, all the start I have to meet it, is just across the deck here. Oh! jolly is the gale, And a joker is the whale, A' flourishin' his tail, Such a funny, sporty, gamy, jesty, joky, hoky-poky lad, is the Ocean, oh!

The lid is not put in quite straight and leaves a narrow slit at one point of its circumference, allowing, at most, of the passage of a fine needle. When the bait begins to give off a gamy scent, the mothers come, singly or in numbers. They are attracted by the odour which, transmitted through a thin crevice, hardly reaches my nostrils.

"I thought the rainbow trout was supposed to have the call," said Colin; "at least, Father always declares so, and he goes up to the Klamath region nearly every year." "The rainbow is a very gamy trout," agreed the angler, "and it runs large, up to twenty pounds sometimes, but pound for pound, there's more fight in a steelhead." "What's the Dolly Varden?" Colin queried.

In March and April they begin to flit again, and by May they are all away northward, to the inland lakes among the mountains, or to the rocky islands of the Maine coast. Let us follow them. In the waters south of Cape Cod, where blue-fish and other gamy surface swimmers are found, the gulls are often useful guides to the fisherman.

That is why he got out his fishing-tackle and announced that he thought he would have a try at some trout himself, and so left the ranch not much behind Baumberger. That is why he patiently whipped the Malad riffles until he came up with the portly lawyer from Shoshone, and found him gleeful over a full basket and bubbling with innocent details of this gamy one and that one still gamier.
