He started as if shot when touched by some one behind; and the next instant M. Bourdinave stood among us. "My father!" exclaimed the girls, and flew into his arms. The next instant the bellowing recommenced. "What is that?" cried M. Bourdinave, starting. "One of the bulls intended for baiting," said my father. "Ah, what a vicinity to find you in?" said M. Bourdinave.
From under an overhanging rock on the bank a spring of crystal water bubbled forth. Alfred rigged up the rods, and baiting a hook directed Betty to throw her line well out into the current and let it float down into the eddy.
Three shining trophies had been landed, and he was in the act of baiting the hook that should capture the fourth, when his eyes chanced to meet the eyes of the child Audrey, who had left her covert of purple-berried alder, and now stood beside him.
We are much afraid that the boasted progress, of which we hear so much, will resemble the act of the man who fancied he could teach his horse to live without food just as he believed the poor beast was perfect, it died of inanition! Roswell read Baiting Joe's 'insterment' twice, and then he placed it, with manly tenderness; in the hands of Mary.
An awkward silence fell between the three of us, broken at length by a start and a smothered exclamation from Miss Plinlimmon. Archibald glanced over his shoulder carelessly. "Oh, yes," said he, "they are baiting a bull down yonder." The ridge hid the bull-ring from us. Dogs had been barking there when we seated ourselves, but the noise held no meaning for us.
Then he arose suddenly, adjusted his necktie with the utmost sang froid, and announced: "I did say I could get to John Tullis. If you like, I'll start to-night." His words created a profound impression, they came so abruptly. The men stared at him, then at each other. It was as if he had read their thoughts and had jumped at once to the conclusion that they were baiting him.
There was no loophole of escape, so that after a little successful baiting, the imprisoned victims would be forced to spring from their lurking-place, to perish upon his spears. On his march from Reyden that morning, he had taken care to occupy every farm-house, every building of whatever description along the road, with his troops.
She had leaned from her window at many a railway station to see the barbaric and cruel old custom of bride-and-bridegroom baiting. She had smiled very tenderly and rather sadly, and hopefully, too upon the boy and girl who rushed breathless into the car in a flurry of white streamers, flowers, old shoes, laughter, cheers, last messages. Now, as in a dream, she found herself actually of these.
Yet, when, for want of something better to do, Jack Keene and I got a shark hook and, baiting it with a highly flavoured piece of pork out of the harness cask, sought to inveigle one of the monsters into swallowing it, they disdained to even so much as look at it, merely glancing upward at us, when we deftly dropped the bait upon one of their broad, shovel noses, as though to say: "No, no, my hearties!
They were engaged in a pursuit with which Tarzan was more or less familiar, having watched them at it upon other occasions. They were placing and baiting a trap for Numa, the lion. In a cage upon wheels they were tying a kid, so fastening it that when Numa seized the unfortunate creature, the door of the cage would drop behind him, making him a prisoner.
