An estate of nearly seven hundred acres, with extensive agriculture, and a large manufactory and distillery, employing three hundred apprentices, and supporting twenty-five horses, one hundred and thirty head of horned cattle, and hogs, sheep; and poultry in proportion, is manifestly a most complicated machinery.
Beneath their onslaught those chimerae tottered, I saw living projectiles and living target fuse where they met melt and weld in jets of lightnings. But not all. There were those that tore great gaps in the horned giants wounds that instantly were healed with globes and pyramids seething out from the Cyclopean trunk.
By the time he was eight years old, Julio was a famous little equestrian. "To horse, peoncito," his grandfather would cry, and away they would race, streaking like lightning across the fields, midst thousands and thousands of horned herds. The "peoncito," proud of his title, obeyed the master in everything, and so learned to whirl the lasso over the steers, leaving them bound and conquered.
When he reached the edge of the Green Forest he decided to run over to the weedy field to see if the Snowflakes and the Tree Sparrows and the Horned Larks were there. They were, but almost at once Peter discovered that they had company. Twittering cheerfully as he busily picked seeds out of the top of a weed which stood above the snow, was a bird very little bigger than Chicoree the Goldfinch.
The two next measures taken for the benefit of the public were, first, a bill to render more effectual the several laws then in being, for the amendment and preservation of the highways and turnpike-roads of the kingdom; the other for the more effectually preventing the spreading of the contagious distemper which, at that time, raged among the horned cattle.
"It's a horned toad," he informed her gravely. "The one Johnny Calvert kept around for a pet, I reckon. He won't bite but I'll kill it if you say so." He dismounted and picked up a stone, and then looked at her again inquiringly. Helen May eyed the toad askance. "Of course, if it's accustomed to being a pet but it looks perfectly diabolical. It came after me."
A horned owl hooted from the branch of a dead pine-tree; far back in the forest a fox barked twice. The moon crept up behind the wall of trees and touched the stream with silver. Presently the forest receded: the banks of the river grew broad and open; the dew glistened on the tall grass; it was surely the River of Meadows.
An idle question, after what has occurred! They die within the hour. We shall try, condemn, and then have them shot." "I thought you had arranged it in a different way?" "So I had. But circumstances alter cases. There's many a slip 'twixt cup and lip, and I've just heard of one. The Horned Lizard has failed me." "How so, colonel?" "You see that Indian outside.
To the long barrows of England answer in part at least the chambered cairns of Caithness and the Orkneys. The largest is 240 feet in length. The chamber is circular, and roofed partly by corbelling and partly by a large slab. In the cairn of Get we have a shorter and wider example of the horned type. Another type is circular or elliptical.
The lads and lasses met her there, Cried 'Hilda Grahame, thou art a duck!" "Obadiah, you are a very impudent boy. Wait till Monday week, that's all! But go on; let me hear all this villainy." "Up then spake the brave Gerald, As he sat by the Codger's knee, 'Fifteen horned pouts I'll give to you, If you'll let Hilda the Grahame go free.
