After the fetlock has been shorn of hair and the ergot trimmed, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and allowed to dry. Several thin layers of long fiber cotton are then wrapped around the extremity enough to pad well the member and this is retained in position with a wide bandage.
For the moment he felt himself a donkey as Lady Claire turned quietly away and the victoria rattled off with brisk finality. Then the door opened again, and again the girl peered out, and furtively, stealthily slipped just outside. Billy caught up a pad and a pencil and called out a request to sketch her, holding up some silver.
The clergyman, still smiling, yielded up the pad. "I'm trying to make it come to two thousand dollars," he said, "and I can't." "That's because," said Mr. Holiday, returning the pad after one swift glance up and down the columns, "it only comes to thirteen hundred and twenty-five dollars. You had the answer correct." "It's for repairs to the church," said the clergyman dismally.
Quills in the postoffice chewed and twisted. Bald Pat at a sign drew nigh. A pen and ink. He went. A pad. He went. A pad to blot. He heard, deaf Pat. Yes, Mr Bloom said, teasing the curling catgut line. It certainly is. Few lines will do. My present. All that Italian florid music is. Who is this wrote? Know the name you know better. Take out sheet notepaper, envelope: unconcerned.
I sat down at Andrew's desk, pushed aside a pad of notes he had been jotting down about "the magic of autumn," and scrawled a few lines: DEAR ANDREW, Don't be thinking I'm crazy. I've gone off for an adventure. It just came over me that you've had all the adventures while I've been at home baking bread. Mrs. McNally will look after your meals and one of her girls can come over to do the housework.
Say 'For service rendered I give bearer all my rights in Golden West mining claim California. I sign. Quick." And he motioned for the pencil. Charley held the pad, and watched him feebly scrawl a "T" and what might have been an "o" and a haggling "m"; and then the pencil dropped.
At times he would roll over till nearly half his body was invisible. Some of the Nepaulese ventured near, and managed to undo the harness-ropes that were holding on the pad. The sagacious brute fully understood his danger, and the efforts we were making for his assistance.
Having done that, and tethered him to the iron cramp at the front of the sledge where he had been before, he was going round the horse's quarters to put the breechband and pad straight and cover him with the cloth, but at that moment he noticed that something was moving in the sledge and Nikita's head rose up out of the snow that covered it.
Kent dropped into his chair and glanced askance at the mail piled in neat array on his desk; he was not in a frame of mind to handle routine office business. Other clients would have to wait until later in the day. A memorandum pad, bearing a message in Sylvester's precise penmanship attracted his wandering attention and he picked it up. "Mr. Kent:" he read.
Cowan, my son offers to adopt that boy of yours make him his own son in name and opportunities and advantages his own son." So it was only that! Dave drew a long, pleasant breath and wiped his brow. Then he took a pencil from the table and began to draw squares and triangles and diamond patterns upon a pad of soft paper that lay at hand. "Well I don't know." His eyes followed the pencil point.
