The billy goat bunted, took a fresh start, bunted again, they often played in this way, and sent Peter against the fence. "There!" exclaimed Peter, picking himself up; "I rather think that billy goat is strong enough to drag any goat along, no matter how big a one." Peter fairly glowed with pride. Ole, too, wanted to try the strength of the goat. Yes, it was an amazingly strong goat.
The flock gazed with unutterable reproach at the Goat, who sipped his tea with a critical frown, and observed, pleasantly: "That happened to a friend of mine." The Lambs surrendered at discretion, and roared. The Cousin glanced at the Aunt, and they rose.
Steve eyed him, fascinated. No bird, encountering a snake, was ever so incapable of movement as he. "Are you a germ?" inquired William Bannister. Steve tottered to the cot and sat down on it. The relief was too much for him. "Gee, kid!" he said, "you had my goat then. I've got to hand it to you." His sudden approach had confirmed William Bannister's worst suspicions.
Don't try to be anybody else. Depend upon it, if you ever come across a person that likes you, he will like you as a goat, and not as a sheep. A sheep you could never be, though you should practice all your life-time. Be a goat, then be a goat, and nothing else." This advice, I believe, proved of some service to the juvenile goat; and by the way, reader, perhaps it may be worth something to you.
After the last goat has scaled your neighbour's fence, and only De Wet is left, your little dog discovers him. De Wet beats a hurried retreat, apparently at full speed, with the dog exactly one foot behind him in frantic pursuit.
De Vasselot was quicker and smaller, and as agile as a goat, and Andrei Perucca lost him altogether. He was a fool. He went to look for him. As if any one in his senses would go to look for a Corsican in the rocks! That is how the gendarmes get killed. At length Andrei Perucca raised his head over a big stone, and looked right into the muzzle of de Vasselot's gun.
The Kenway girls had had plenty of cherries, peaches, apples, pears, and small fruit all through the season. There were still some late peaches ripening, and when Agnes Kenway happened to open her eyes early, the very next morning after the goat came to live with them, she saw the blushing beauty of these peaches through the open window of the ell room she shared with Ruth.
On such occasions they apply to one of their cunning men, who has recourse to his art, and by cutting a lemon ascertains which of these has been the author of the mischief, and by what means the evil spirit may be propitiated; which always proves to be the sacrificing a buffalo, hog, goat, or whatever animal the wizard happens on that day to be most inclined to eat.
It proved no easy task to get Bilbil into the boat, for he was a remarkably clumsy goat and once, when Rinkitink gave him a push, he tumbled into the water and nearly drowned before they could get him out again. But there was no thought of leaving the quaint animal behind.
He may have outlined the composition in a moment of great ebullition, a time of soul laceration arising from a cat scratch or a quarrel with Maurice Sand in the garden over the possession of the goat cart. The Klindworth edition is preferable. Kullak follows his example in using the double note stems in the B major part.
