"You will?" said Strong. "Well! I mean to do just the contrary. If Esther wants Hazard she shall have him, if I can help her. Why not? Hazard is a good fellow, and will make her a good husband. I have no fault to find with him except that he poaches outside his preserves. He has poached this time to some purpose, but if the parish can stand it, I can." "The parish cannot stand it," said Mrs.
She is a kind of mistress of the robes, and exercises her prerogative with much conscious dignity and self-satisfaction; and, what is better, with great satisfaction to yourself. No other subordinate official or servant trenches or poaches upon her preserves. She it is who precedes you up stairs with a candle, on a broad-bottomed brass candlestick, polished to its highest lustre.
"And poaches all he can lay hands on," added the gamekeeper. "Only he takes good care never to go off this Hollow to do it." "Have you made any inquiry of him?" asked Neale. "We were just thinking of doing that, sir," replied the policeman. "He roams up and down about here at nights, when he is here.
"Labour in vain," said Uncle Richard. "As you know, I tried over and over again to make something of him, but he would not stay. He hates work. Wild as one of the rabbits he poaches." "But we tame rabbits, Brandon, and I don't like seeing that boy gradually go from bad to worse." "It's the gipsy blood in him, I'm afraid," said Uncle Richard. "Yes, and I don't know what to do with him."
The only time for the partner to protect the overhead is when the net man "poaches," is outguessed, and the ball tossed over his head. Then the server covers and strives for a kill at once. Always be ready to protect your partner, but do not take shots over his head unless he calls for you to, or you see a certain kill. Then say "Mine," step in and hit decisively.
From father to son for generations the same district has been handed down, each territory rich enough in fur to support one family. One not two, for two would starve, and if a strange trapper poaches the fight is to the death, even in the normal year when game is plentiful and fur prime. "But every seventh year there may be famine.
These articles were from Boston, New York, and Baltimore, and had American labels. The pictures of poaches, strawberries, and other fruits printed on the labels were a great convenience to the Russian clerk who served us. He could not read English, but understood pictorial representations. On the boat we gave the cans to the steward, to be opened when we ordered.
This is his hunting and trapping ground, and has been for years. No one poaches on it; that is unwritten law; a man may follow a wounded animal into his neighbour's territory, but not trap there. The nearest neighbour is 10 miles off. He gets 3 or 4 Silver Foxes every year, a few Lynx, Otter, Marten, etc. Bellalise was somewhat of a character.
I thought my hair would have turned white. 'I shouldn't think the Mutual poaches, said Vaughan. 'He hasn't got the enterprise to poach an egg even. No, it can't be that. 'Perhaps he bikes? said the Babe. 'No, he's not got a bike. He's the sort of chap, though, to borrow somebody else's without asking. Possibly he does bike.
"No, Tom," said Uncle Richard quietly. "Police means magistrates, magistrates mean conviction and prison. Master Pete's bad enough now." "Yes, uncle; he poaches rabbits." "I dare say," said Uncle Richard; "and if I sent him to prison, I should, I fear, make him worse, and all for the sake of a few pieces of old iron. No, Tom, I think we'll leave some one else to punish him.
