A cheap bargain; but speak quickly, old man, these hounds of mine are not to be held in leash for long." The partisans on either side had fallen back, leaving the two leaders face to face. Sir Gavan plucked twice at his throat, where the veins stood out like cords, constricting the vocal passages so that he stuttered thickly as he spoke. "This this gallows-scape!" he stammered.
So saying he sat down, and assisted the Doctor in giving a very satisfactory account of a brace of wild-ducks and a leash of teal. Bevis, who maintained his place with great patience and insinuation, had his share of a collop, which was also placed on the well-furnished board; for, like most high-bred dogs, he declined eating waterfowl.

Say, when it comes to seeing the love-light through the fog, I'm there with the spy-glass." If Emma McChesney held herself well in leash during the busy day, she relished her happiness none the less when she could allow herself the full savor of it.
"I do know him," answered Kai, "he is Dillus Varvawc, and no leash in the world will be able to hold Drudwyn, the cub of Greid the son of Eri, save a leash made from the beard of him thou seest yonder.

It scarcely seemed her voice that talked to me, but something distant as the tone in a sad sea-shell.
