The others, who would gladly have compounded with themselves for an extra half-hour and allowed their heavy eyelids just one more little snooze, were violently thwarted in their inclinations by the ever-increasing racket which suddenly dominated Kárpáthy Castle; for the bustling to and fro of heavy boots, the sound of familiar voices in the halls and parlours, the baying of dogs in the courtyard, the cracking of whips, and the neighing of horses would have sufficed to disturb the sweet slumbers of the Seven Sleepers themselves.
Old Jude hung on the lion track, but I stopped her here. There's something I can't figure. Moze held a beeline southwest, and he yelled seldom. Sounder gradually stopped baying. Maybe Frank can tell us something." Jones's long drawn-out signal was answered from the direction he expected, and after a little time, Frank's white horse shone out of the gray-green of a ledge a mile away.
Ruth noted the flash of the great, lithe body as the beast sprang into the air. Startled for the moment by the on-rush and savage baying of the dog, the panther had leaped into a low-branching cedar. The tree shook to its very tip, and to the ends of its great limbs. There the panther crouched upon a limb, its eyes balefully glaring down upon the leaping, growling mastiff.
She remembers the baying of blood hounds at night along the Ohio River, trying to follow the scent of escaping negroes and the crack of firearms as white people, employed by the plantation owners attempted to halt the negroes in their efforts to cross the Ohio River into Ohio or to join the Federal army. Referring to her early life, she recalls no special outstanding events.
He would not sleep, and so lose something of his conscious peace, something of thinking about what was going to happen at the end. No, he must not sleep. The frantically joyous barking of a dog standing over him not at all like the deep baying of Frazier's bloodhound, woke the boy, and he tried to raise his head, but it fell back like lead.
Graham lived to see the day when he acknowledged that the poor negroes of the most remote plantations had a truer conception of the grand proportions of Lincoln's character at that time than the majority of his most cultivated countrymen. His abstract speculations were speedily brought to a close by the nearer baying of hounds as they surmounted an eminence over which lay his trail.
I had no guide even in the direction of home, for the sun still lingered behind an impenetrable veil. While I thus lay and mused on the unenviable situation in which I found myself placed, a sound reached my ears that again sent the blood leaping wildly through my veins. It was the distant baying of a bloodhound!
Frank angrily exclaimed. "I'm afraid that's easier said than done," the Colonel answered, "but I'm with you, and we'll do our best." Through the windows came the noise of baying hounds. It instantly attracted their attention, as it ever will that of Kentuckians. "What's that? A fox-hunt?" Frank had hurried to the window and was looking out.
"Good God!" exclaimed one of the boys as he held it up, "they've made way with her!" "Now, none of that nonsense!" I cried; "she's given it to one of them and they've feared 'twould get them into trouble!" But the three had spurred off and I could only toss it away and follow. The baying had ceased and an occasional half-smothered yap told that the scent was broken.
Once more the boys emerged into the open; but the dangers of the night were not yet over, for presently Nibs rushed breathless into their midst, pursued by a pack of wolves. The tongues of the pursuers were hanging out; the baying of them was horrible. "Save me, save me!" cried Nibs, falling on the ground. "But what can we do, what can we do?"
