It was just stumbling forward upon its nose, with a despairing baa-a-a! while the second and larger lynx, clinging upon its back, clutched hungrily for its throat through the thick, protecting wool. On ordinary occasions the girl was as timid as her small, pale face and gentle blue eyes made her look. At this crisis, however, a sort of fury of compassion swept all fear from her heart.
Not having any goat, the Tarasconer had the idea of employing an imitation, and he set to crying in a tremulous voice: "Baa-a-a!" At first it was done very softly, because at bottom he was a little alarmed lest the lion should hear him; but as nothing came, he baa-ed more loudly. Still nothing.
At the end of the flock came a lamb, bleating and trying to keep up with its mother. "Oh, the lamb!" shrieked Helen. "Look out, Tom!" added Ruth. The lamb did not get across the road. The car struck it, and with a pitiful "baa-a-a!" it was knocked a dozen feet. In a moment the car stopped. It had scarcely run its entire length past the spot where the lamb was struck.
I was sitting in my cabin close by when this preliminary singing was started, and was not left many moments in doubt as to its unmistakable sheepishness, or lamb-likeness, for almost immediately I heard some of the young rascals sitting round put in a subdued accompaniment of "Baa-a-a." Yet none the less the song moved on to its triumphant close.
