His black socks and his flesh bulging over the garters, attached high up on his legs, were plainly visible. The chasuble had the shape of an ordinary chasuble but was of the dark red colour of dried blood, and in the middle, in a triangle around which was an embroidered border of colchicum, savin, sorrel, and spurge, was the figure of a black billy-goat presenting his horns.
If you want me to introduce you to the right people " "But they may not be the right people for me! Some of them are lovely, but I can't stand the affected ones, nor the ones that patronize me." "But they won't patronize you if you are a little more reserved. There's no earthly reason for your telling them that you keep only one servant, and saying that you come from Billy-goat Hill.
He wouldn't even come for Aunt 'Telia, but Mis' Queerington was different; she understood fellows. She had said that the doctors would fix his throat so that he could yell louder than any boy on Billy-goat Hill! All the suppressed yells of a dozen years quivered on his lips at the thought of it!

"We had a little billy-goat, And he was clever, too; He carried in the water, And set the mush to brew. He fed Grandpa and Grandma; But when he went one day To the dark forest seven wolves In waiting for him lay.

Otherwise she would have trembled if he came near her.
Wolf opened his window and looked out. When he saw who it was, he cried out: "'Hallo! this is not a nice day to pay visits, but since you are here, you may as well come in out of the wet. "But Mr. Dog shook his head and flirted up dirt by scratching on the ground with his feet. He had smelled blood. Mr. Billy-Goat saw how Mr. Dog acted, and he was afraid to go in. So he shook his horns.
I got up toreckly, though, an' I cotch him, and when I done got through, Mistah Billy-goat feel po'ly moah'n a week. He sut'n'y did." Walker grinned, for he had witnessed the scene. Just then Maria put her head in at the door to say, "May Lilly, yo' mammy's callin' you." Lloyd and Fritz followed her noisily down-stairs. Then for nearly an hour it was very quiet in the great house.
In a minute, for he was practised at the game, the hideous mask was on his head, and with it the horns and skin of the widow's billy-goat; the tail and painted hides were tied about him, and in his hand he waved the eel spear, short-handled now.
