I had taken seven to four eight times in hundreds, and that broke me." The ragged raffish man never thinks that he was quite ready to plunder other people; he grows inarticulate with rage only when he remembers how he was bitten instead of being the biter. His watery eyes slant as you near a roadside inn, and he is certain to issue an invitation. Then you see what really brought him low.
They ran to me, but I still held on with my teeth, nor could I be separated from my now screaming relative, until the admission of fresh air, and a plentiful sprinkling of cold water brought me to my senses, when I was laid on the sofa utterly exhausted. It certainly was a narrow escape, and it may be said that the "biter was nearly bit."
They wept tears of joy. They howled down his anguish with approving acclaim while they did a double hop around him as a vent to their enthusiasm. The biter had been bit. The joke had been turned against the joker, and in the most primitive and direct way. This was the most humorous event in the history of the Rio Blanco Utes. It was destined to become the stock tribal joke.
Out of the love that he bore for the beautiful dumb brutes grew an understanding that in time became almost uncanny. All the jockeys and hostlers said there was magic in the lad's hands. He could ride anything on hoofs with a slack rein; and the worst biter in the stable would take a bridle from him as it were an apple. "Oft, now, I hear him talkin' to 'em, so I do."
Should the fraud be detected before the completion of the bargain, as in our case, he laughs with the rest, and says, probably, he `warn't so 'cute as usual." "Och, the scoundrels!" cried Larry; "an' is there no law for sich doin's?" "None; at least in most diggings men are left to sharpen their own wits by experience. Sometimes, however, the biter is pretty well bitten.
I had heard Maguire remark within. "Blamed if our Bowery boys ain't cock-angels to scum like this. Ah, you biter, I wouldn't soil my knuckles on your ugly face; but if I had my thick boots on I'd dance the soul out of your carcass for two cents!"
Night and day, year after year, I see them going by, watched by the red fox and the comfortably clad sable, and grinned at by the black cat, the innocent, the vicious, the timid and the savage, the shy and the bold, the chattering slanderer and the screaming prowler, the industrious and the peaceful, the tree-top critic and the crawling biter, just as it is elsewhere.
Thus, then, the young lady having been bitten, it was not forbidden her to bite her biter with a retort."
It says, beware of the world's passion for flavours and spices. Much tasted, they turn and bite the biter. My exemplars are the lately breeched youngsters with two pence in their pockets for the gingerbread-nut booth on a fair day. I learn more from one of them than you can from the whole cavalcade of your attendant Ixionides.
When once you turn him out from his lair, there is grand hunting room before he can reach the distant patch of jungle to which he directs his flight. Kuderent jungle. Charged by a pig. The biter bit. 'Mac' after the big boar. The horse for pig-sticking. The line of beaters. The boar breaks. 'Away! Away! First spear. Pig-sticking at Peeprah. The old 'lungra' or cripple. A boar at bay.
