Joel was beside himself and he, too, lumbered down to the river, followed by Dolph, while the Dillons roared from the road. "Boy!" he roared. "Eh, boy, eh! what's his name, Dolph?
Think of the dictionary of sound and scent and recollection that unfolds before a real wild beat as it comes out from its lair every evening, with the knowledge that in a few minutes it will be hieing along to some distant hunting ground where all the joy and fury of the chase awaits it; think of the crowded sensations of the brain when every rustle, every cry, every bent twig, and every whiff across the nostrils means something, something to do with life and death and dinner.

All the birds that skim the wave In hasty flight are hieing home; T the lee of safer haven All the storm-tossed vessels come. "Ah!
