They're all that stand betune me and dis-ris-pect-ability. Av I didn't shave, I wud be torminted wid an outrajis thurrst; for there's nothin' so dhryin' to the throat as a big billy-goat beard waggin' undher the chin. Ye wudn't have me dhrink always, Dinah Shadd'? By the same token, you're kapin' me crool dhry now. Let me look at that whiskey."
Dog looked around on the ground, gathered some jan-weed, yan-weed, and tan-weed, rubbed them together, and squeezed a drop of the juice on Mr. Billy-Goat's horns. He had no sooner done this than Mr. Billy-Goat was changed into a white rock. "Then Mr. Dog leaped into the creek and swam across. Mr. Wolf ran to the bank, but there he stopped.
You could yet make out their forms, though the dust blurred their outlines strangely. "Ye calls them 'cher-rubs'," cackled the old man. "Babes, ye fancy they are, with wings. And there's one wid legs and a bow and arrow that ye call Cupid I know where they was found. The great-great-great-grandfather of thim all was a billy-goat.
The insult had been instantly resented in a battle so fierce and so bloody, that the details of it became historic in the annals of Billy-goat Hill. Chick, though of lighter weight, and feeble muscle, was armed with righteous indignation. He observed no rules, but fought with arms, legs, teeth and nails.
But when he had tossed the match into the open grate, he nonchalantly sauntered to the desk and glanced at the register.

Being well fed and the adored of his mistress, Amomma had naturally swallowed two loaded pin-fire cartridges.

On this particular afternoon she had started out for Billy-goat Hill to hear about the shooting, and to break the news to the family, that she had gotten a new place.
'Trip, trap; trip, trap! went the bridge. 'WHO'S THAT tripping over my bridge? roared the Troll. 'Oh! it is only I, the tiniest billy-goat Gruff; and I'm going up to the hill-side to make myself fat', said the billy-goat, with such a small voice. 'Now, I'm coming to gobble you up', said the Troll. 'Oh, no! pray don't take me.
I really hired Sol because he reminded me of some one I'd known and liked, though I couldn't just remember at the time who it was; but one day, after he'd been with me about a week, it came to me in a flash that he was the living image of old Bucker, a billy-goat I'd set aheap of store by when I was a boy. That was a lesson to me on the foolishness of getting sentimental in business.
