I was watching him boil the water for breakfast when I looked up from the fire and saw Capi being led towards us by a policeman. What did it mean? The moment Capi recognized me he gave a tug at his leash and escaping from the officer bounded toward me and jumped into my arms. "Is that your dog?" asked the policeman. "Yes." "Then come with me, you're under arrest." He seized me by the collar.
"The bull! The bull!" There was an opening in the crowd as four men approached leading and driving a huge angry bull, which was secured by a ring in his nose to which ropes were attached. Another man followed, dragged forward by three fierce bull-dogs in a leash. The bull was quickly tied to a stout post in the street, and the crowd formed a circle closely surrounding the bull-ring.
Wherever she was, he was; watchful, ready for a lark, or equally content to lie quietly at her feet. That afternoon, in trim boots and riding habit, she crossed the porch to her horse which had just been brought around.

Though you were as wild as a cat of the woods, by heaven! I'd rather have the taming of you than go about with a leash of quiet" he checked himself "companions."
Thus it came about that while Temple was sitting in his hotel room, in negotiation with Tandy over a matter that involved Duncan's future more vitally than any other event had ever done, Duncan himself sat with Barbara, trying to adjust another matter which seemed to him of even greater consequence. Barbara had her emotions in leash, now.
It represented a hideous and misshapen dwarf, holding a couple of graceful greyhounds in a leash an unhappy creature who had made sport for the household of some Castilian grandee, and whose gorgeous garments, of scarlet and gold, were ingeniously designed so as to emphasise the physical degradation of its contorted person.
Holding in leash the painful emotions that struggled for utterance, Beryl was unconscious of the lapse of time, and when her averted eyes returned reluctantly to her grandfather's face, he was slowly tearing into shreds the tear-stained letter, freighted with passionate prayers for pardon, and for succor.
