Then he would give them an open shed to run under, and throw down their hay outside. Grain they scarcely knew the taste of. That they would fall off in flesh, and half of them lose their lambs in the spring, was an expected thing. He would say I had them kennelled, if he could see my big, closed sheds, with the sunny windows that my flock spend the winter in.
To a refined nature association forms no slight element in the constitution of a home; and horrible conjectures concerning repulsive indications of the vulgar people who once kennelled where others would live decently and purely are among the manifold miseries of tenement life.
He held him so dear, that he bade all those who wished for his love, to cross the Wolf in naught, neither to strike him with a rod, but ever to see that he was richly fed and kennelled warm.

"What a run he would give!" said Jerry; "the best pack that was ever kennelled wouldn't have a chance with him." "Who was that old chap," said Nicholas Dillon, showing off his classical learning, "who said that dead animals always became something else? maybe it's only in the course of nature for a dead fox to become a live parson."
