"Why, the my husband's condition the death, our going away so quickly afterward. There are elements there of a good-sized boarding-house scandal." "Yes, there are elements!" Sommers admitted, putting away his work. "We may as well leave as soon as we can. You are right; we had better fight it out alone." "Yes, alone," she responded, with a glad note in her voice.
Indeed, a dog new to the business is almost certain to get very badly scarred, and no dog that hunts steadily can escape without some injury. If it runs in right at the heads of the animals, the probabilities are that it will get killed; and, as a rule, even two good-sized hounds cannot kill a peccary, though it is no larger than either of them.
He also took an intense interest in his wethers, and almost every day he would go to Caleb, tending his flock on the down, to sit by him and ask a hundred questions about sheep and their management. He looked on Caleb, as head-shepherd on a good-sized farm, as the most important and most fortunate person he knew, and was very proud to have him as guide, philosopher, and friend.
If you will wait here, I will get the bouquet for you. It will take me hardly a minute." Dick started away alone. By the time that he had picked a good-sized handful, Susie started to meet him. For the moment she was out of sight of the other girls. Dick came toward Miss Sharp, holding out the gorgeous blossoms. "Will these be enough?" he inquired. "Oh, yes! Thank you so much!"
Turner, alone with only an axe, killed three bears in less than half an hour, the youngest being a good-sized one, and what hunters call a yearling. This is a pretty great bear story, but probably true, and happened only a few weeks ago; for John Patch, who was here with his father Captain Levi Patch, who lives within two miles of the Saturday Pond, told me so yesterday.
To the right, looking at the house, there was a wing with an open-arched passage leading to a greenhouse and vinery, while above ran a suite of three rooms, each with one good-sized window overlooking the garden. These were the three rooms kept for the same number of young gentlemen who might be taken in for preparation for the University a number the doctor never exceeded.
The first of the seven grinders, which, as I have said, is frequently absent, and, when it does exist, is small in the horse, is a good-sized and permanent tooth, while the grinder which follows it is but little larger than the hinder ones.
For his hand encountered a good-sized stone secured in its place by a thin rotan bound over it, and passed through the thatch and under one of the battens.
In one monstrous heap in the yard the boys excavated a good-sized cavern big enough so that all the girls as well as the boys could enter it at once; and they lit it up at night with candles and held a "party" there, at which plenty of walnut taffy was served without shells in it! "This is heaping coals of fire on your head, young man," said Madge, tartly, as she passed the pan to Busy Izzy.
After I'd had my smoke, Paul and me went back to the creek, where we stretched ourselves under a good-sized box-elder tree there wasn't no shade nowhere else and took a sleep, while Comstock and Curtis went jack-rabbit hunting across the river, as we was getting scarce of meat.
