She is very remarkable, being black and white spotted; and, after close examination, I found that she was not with the herd, so I am sure that she went into the copse to calve, and that she has calved before this." "Well, that may be," replied Jacob; "but now I do not understand what we are to do." "Nor I," replied Edward. "Well then, I'll tell you what I hope to do.

Their parts will be strong and open, and they will calve with safety; while, on the other hand, the calving of those served at a year old will always be attended with difficulty; the parts will often be injured and lacerated, and mortification of the womb and the death of the animal may follow.

While I was making a “curelast year at Lamalou, an obscure Spa in the Cevennes Mountains, Madame Calvé, to whom I had expressed a desire to see her picturesque home, telegraphed an invitation to pass the day with her, naming the train she could meet, which would allow for the long drive to her château before luncheon. It is needless to say the invitation was accepted.

It must be admitted that, at the very moment when the butcher was bleeding Matthew, Desiree had been thrilled with wild excitement, for Lisa, the cow, was about to calve. And the girl's delight at this had quite turned her head. 'One goes and another comes! she cried, skipping and twirling round. 'Come here, La Teuse! come here! It was eleven o'clock.

To my astonishment the performance was received in complete silence. ‘Poor Calvé,’ I heard an old friend of my mother’s murmur. ‘Her voice used to be so nice, and now it’s all gone!’ Taking in the situation at a glance, I threw my voice well up into my nose and started off on a well-known provincial song, in the shrill falsetto of our peasant women.

Take care; perhaps after all Betsy Cane's cow may calve; see; would you be too much in a hurry after the pigs?" "Sorrow to the tongue of me then that I tould yer riverence a word about it!" "But what are you in such a hurry about?

Cilia could not resist that question, but still she remained taciturn. "Is your cow going to calve this year too? How many cows has the biggest farmer near you? You know, the one down near the Warthe, Hauländer. Do tell me." He knew all about everything, knew all the people at her home and all the cattle.

Arnoldson, Mme. Calvé, and Signors Ancona, Gromzeski, Guetary, and De Lucia taking the principal parts. The scene is laid in Calabria during the Feast of the Assumption.

He wore a very high double collar and a wide-brimmed bowler hat. "Hello, Crofton!" said Mr. Henchy to the fat man. "Talk of the devil..." "Where did the boose come from?" asked the young man.
