It's more the smoke an' fumes that have choked me than the grog. Come, lad, let's go for'ard an' git as far from it as we can." The man and boy went to the bow of the vessel, and seated themselves near the heel of the bowsprit, where the sounds from the cabin reached them only as a faint murmur, and did not disturb the stillness of the night.
Dard limped towards them, leaning upon Sergeant La Croix. A bit of Dard's heel had been shot away, and of La Croix's head. Rose ran to the kitchen. "Jacintha, bring out a table into the Pleasaunce, and something for two guests to eat."
"Directly we reached it, the horses all flung themselves down, and rolled in it. We passed through several camps, and halted at our allotted site, where we formed our lines and picketed our horses heel and head. Then the fun began, as they went wild, and tied themselves in strangulation knots, and kept it up all night, as the sleepless pickets reported.
"Do you mean..." gasped the other, "that you'll ask no satisfaction of me?" "Not so. Mr. Trenchard shall wait upon your friends to-morrow, and I hope you'll afford us then as felicitous entertainment as you do now." Sir Rowland snorted, and, turning on his heel, made for the door. "Give you a good night, Sir Rowland," Mr. Wilding called after him.
The skin of his heel was so delicate that a young girl's cheek would have been proud of it. How many kisses I would cover those dear little feet with when I warmed his long nightdress before the fire. I had been forbidden to undress him, because it had been found that I entangled the knots instead of undoing them.
Deely carefully piloted one of her needles through an intricate turn in the heel of the sock. "Well, I wish you luck, Agnes," Denis Donohoe said at last, and then gave a queer odd little laugh, a little laugh that made Mrs. Deely regard him quickly and seriously. She noticed that he had his eyes fixed on the ground.
I thought you ought to know that. She touched her horse with her heel and turned down the lane. She went slowly, sitting very straight, but she had the constant expectation of being shot in the back. She had to remind herself that Henrietta had no weapon but her eyes. It was those eyes Francis Sales chiefly remembered when he had parted from Henrietta and turned homewards.
As soon as acute inflammation has subsided the foot may be so pared that all excess of sole and frog is removed without lowering the heels, and the animal may be blistered about the coronet region. The subject may be shod later, with heel calks that raise the heel moderately and a protracted period of rest should be enforced.
Quietly he turned on his heel and went back into the room, Marguerite remaining motionless beside the open window, where the soft, brine-laden air, the distant murmur of the sea, the occasional cry of a sea-mew, all seemed to mock her agonizing despair.
The cave men hunted and killed the wild horse of their own times, and one of the best of their remaining works of art represents a naked hunter attacking two horses, while a huge snake winds itself unperceived behind close to his heel.
