I reckon it is easy to find out if he's still there." Macdonald's keen brain followed the facts as the nose of a bloodhound does a trail. Holt, an open enemy of his, had reached town only two days before. He had bought one of the best and swiftest dog teams in the North and had let slip before witnesses the remark that Macdonald would soon find out what he wanted with the outfit.
Spare none, remember Amalek, exclaimed their youthful leader, waving his bloody scimitar. 'They are down; one, two, there goes the third. My javelin has done for him. 'Your horse bleeds freely. Where's Jabaster? 'At the gates; my arm aches with slaughter. The Lord hath delivered them into our hands. Could I but meet their chieftain! 'Turn, bloodhound, he is here, exclaimed Hassan Subah.
Compassion for all is the command of the Prophet. . . ." Here the Arab was suddenly and roughly interrupted; Paula, who, till now, had been leaning against a pilaster, contemplating the hanging and silently listening to the conversation, hastily stepped nearer to the old man, and with flaming cheeks and flashing eyes pointed at him wrathfully, while she exclaimed in a trembling voice-heedless alike of the astonished and indignant bystanders, and of the little dog which flew at the Arab, barking furiously: "You you, the followers of the false prophet you, the companions of the bloodhound Khalid you and Charity!
The new examiner's mind seemed to course and turn and make unexpected dashes hither and thither like a bloodhound seeking a trail. Finally he pushed aside all the notes except a few, which he arranged in a neat pile before him, and began a dry, formal little speech.
"You can't make a bloodhound out of a collie," despaired Craig, looking about again helplessly. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a police whistle. He blew three sharp blasts. Would it bring help? While we were thus despairing, the continued absence of Dr. Morton from home had alarmed his family and had set in motion another train of events.
"That is a bloodhound!" exclaimed Harold with an accent of surprise. "Oh, no," said Oriana. "There are no bloodhounds in this neighborhood, nor are they at all in use, I am sure, in Virginia." "I am not mistaken," replied Harold. "I have been made familiar with their baying while surveying on the coast of Florida. Listen!"
With his heart filled with hatred for the French who had slain all who were dear to him, he followed like a bloodhound over land and sea to any spot where he might glut his vengeance. Such also were the men who sailed in the other ships, Cheshire men from the Welsh borders in the cog Thomas, and Cumberland men, used to Scottish warfare, in the Grace Dieu.
Duncan departed, taking the greyhound and the bloodhound with him. As soon as she was quite sure that he had gone, and silence, deep and complete, had fallen on the house, Hollyhock took down an old cloak from where it hung in a certain part of the hall, and wrapping it firmly round her shoulders, went out into the night.
It dinged his mood, of course, so that the red under his eyes and the folds of his crumply cheeks which seemed to speak of a touch of bloodhound introduced a long way back into his breeding drew deeper and more manifest. If he could have spoken at such times, he would have said: "I have been a long time alone, and I cannot always be asleep; but you know best, and I must not criticise."
Presently a large owl came noiselessly flying by, and, perching on the topmost boughs of a neighbouring tree, began hooting a succession of monotonous notes, sounding like the baying of a bloodhound at a vast distance. Another owl by and by responded from some far-off quarter, and the dreary duet was kept up for half an hour.
