The pedlar had approached, intent on begging, and, if possible, larceny; but Wolf had quickly bared a double row of long, sharp teeth, which ceremony he had accompanied with an ominous growl, and this had completely daunted Autolycus, who had retreated with precipitation. Wolf now made no further objection to his entry, seeing that Verty accompanied him; and the two persons went into the house.
Hence many a deep growl of righteous anger rose from the brawny smacksmen when Mary with her pale face and sorrow-sunken head passed along the quays on her way to her daily marketing; and it is more than likely that if the missing man had turned up in Brisport he might have met with some rough words or rougher usage, unless he could give some very good reason for his strange conduct.
Rantoul began to appear in society, besieged with the invitations that his Southern aristocracy and the romance of his success procured him. "You go out too much," said Herkimer to him, with a fearful growl. "What the deuce do you want with society, anyhow? Keep away from it. You've nothing to do with it." "What do I do? I go out once a week," said Rantoul, whistling pleasantly.
He stooped and looked into the cave again, but it was as dark as night in there, and he could see nothing of the bear. Then he cut a long pole with his knife and reached in with it until he felt the soft body. A strong prod brought forth a protesting growl. Bruin did not like to have his slumbers disturbed. "Sure 'tis a bear an' that's wakenin' un," he commented.
But he still stood fast, although all of his warriors were eager to go, and the demon chorus came nearer and nearer, multiplying its cries, and adding to the strange notes of birds the equally strange notes of animals, worse even than the growl of bear or shriek of panther. Tandakora knew now that the wicked spirits of earth and air were abroad in greater numbers than he had ever known before.
But before I could pursue my investigations further along this line, the wolf came to the surface, and he waved the subject aside with a growl. "But this is nothing to you. What you want to know is that I won't need you before Wednesday, if then." "Does the campaign reopen?" I asked. "If you don't mind, Wilton," said the Wolf with another growl, "I'll keep my plans till I'm ready to use them."
"A young philosopher's an old fool!" returned Hippias, not thinking that his growl had begotten a phrase. His brother smiled with gratification, and applauded him loudly: "Excellent! worthy of your best days! You're wrong, though, in applying it to Adrian. He has never been precocious. All he has done has been to bring sound common sense to bear upon what he hears and sees.
"I thought to make my first parade through Paris with you this morning; but it must be deferred in favor of your work. It is sacred: since it is that which sustains your mother. Nevertheless, it is vexatious, devilish vexatious. And yet no I am unjust. See how quickly one gets habituated to and spoilt by happiness. I growl like a true grumbler, at a walk being put off for a few hours! I do this!
The road is shocking, and it will be as dark as a pit by the time we get home. 'Very well; we won't keep old Whiteface standing, said Guy. 'Good-bye, Mrs. Lavers thank you. I shall see you again before long. Before Markham had finished a short private growl on the shocking state of the Moorworth pavement, and a protest that somebody should be called over the coals, Guy began,
