With eyes that seemed magnifying I gazed to see a big red woolly steer plunge wildly down the slope and disappear. A third shock possessed me amaze. I had mistaken a wild, frightened steer for a red cinnamon bear! I sat there some moments straddling that branch. Then I descended, and went back to the place I had dropped my rifle, and securing that I stood a moment listening.
Xyris, Philydrum, a species of Xerotes, and an aromatic spreading herb, grew in great abundance round the water. I found a great quantity of the latter in the stomach of the emu. A species of Crotolaria, two or three feet high, with simple woolly oblong or oblongo-lanceolate leaves, and with a beautiful green blossom of the form and size of that of Kennedya rubicunda, grew in the bed of the river.
And, to tell the truth, Carlo and the Monkey were enjoying it themselves. "Do I hurt you, holding on this way?" asked the Monkey of Carlo, grasping tightly the dog's woolly back. "Do I pull your hair any?" "Oh, not much," Carlo barked in answer. "I don't mind a little pull like that." "You see I'm so afraid of falling off and breaking my tail, or something like that," went on the Monkey.
It is a forum for excitable amateurs. The New England Senators are almost the only ones with a long or any record in the House." "They are bright, most of those Representatives even the woolly ones; as quick as lightning." "Oh, yes, they are bright," he said contemptuously. "The average American is bright.
"My poor, innocent Ban! If you were to try and talk books and poetry, 'Shakespeare and the musical glasses, to the average society girl, as you call her, what do you suppose would happen?" "Why, I suppose I'd give myself away as an ignoramus." "Heaven save you for a woolly lambkin! The girl would flee, shrieking, and issue a warning against you as a high-brow, a prig, and a hopeless bore.
Her head was not covered, but merely sprinkled with tight woolly knobs or curls the size of peas. Each knob grew apart from its neighbour knob, and was surrounded, so to speak, by bald or desert land. This style of hair was not peculiar to Hreikie alone, but to the whole Hottentot race.
But Elinor would have to apologize for the way she had treated Sylvia. Just at this moment of hesitation a round woolly head appeared at one of the open windows. Two small black hands rested on the window-sill, and a moment later Estralla, in her faded blue dress, was standing directly in front of Miss Patten and Sylvia. "I begs pardon, Missy Teacher.
Every married woman in the far South looks upon her husband as unfaithful, and regards every quadroon servant as a rival. Clotel had been with her new mistress but a few days, when she was ordered to cut off her long hair. The Negro, constitutionally, is fond of dress and outward appearance. He that has short, woolly hair, combs it and oils it to death.
I could have supplied him with a coat he'd have cut a better figure than that in." Bolliver clutched the edge of the box with his two hands. His unusual condition was a hindrance rather than a help to him; without a peg or two his woolly thoughts were not to be disentangled.
When I was with the Johnsons everything was superficial; and, as regards life, everything was brought down to the question of right and wrong. They were too didactic; art should never be didactic; and what is life but an art? Pater has said that so well, somewhere. With the Johnsons I am afraid I lost many opportunities; the tone was gray and cottony, I might almost say woolly.
