"You will find to your cost there is method in my madness, Mrs. Walraven. What say you, Doctor Oleander? Have you the hardihood to face me with a deliberate lie, too?" Dr. Oleander was not deficient in a certain dog-like courage and daring. He saw his position in a moment saw that denial would be utterly useless. His own mother would prove against him it if came to law.
"I do not know in the least," said Lucien; "he told me I might sleep soundly and leave it to him;" but he dared not look at Esther. "If that is the case, I will obey him with the dog-like submission I profess," said Esther, putting her hand through Lucien's arm and leading him into her bedroom, saying, "At any rate, I hope you dined well, my Lulu, at that detestable Baron's?"
The range of my rifle is the measure of the line across which none may come. "Stay with them, Ayisha, until the train leaves El-Maan. Then you may leave your camel and return hither on the train. That is my order." She was bluffed. And she recognized it with a sort of dog-like glance of admiration.
"Is the powder up, sir?" "Yes," said Brace; "the touch-hole's full." "That's right, then. Avast there; be smart with that red-hot poker." The man who had taken it to the galley trotted away again in his dog-like fashion, disappeared, and then came into sight again directly, to shout out to the mate: "Cook says it aren't half hot enough, sir." "Bring the poker," roared the mate.
Then to his men: "Bring the young brute here." Meanwhile, as the boy lay yelping and howling in a very dog-like fashion, the laughing sailors began to close in, and then suddenly made a dart to seize their quarry, but only to stand gazing down into the harbour.
She had taken care of him as you take care of a cloak; she kept him brushed, neat, and tidy, looked closely after him, and humored him; and humored, looked after, brushed, kept tidy, and cared for, M. de Bargeton had come to feel an almost dog-like affection for his wife. It is so easy to give happiness that costs nothing!
"If Baruffo were here he would help you," said Nerina. "He was such a fine strong man and had no fear." Adone rose and put his hands on the handles of the plough. "Take up your linen, little one," he said to the girl, "and go home, or my mother will be angry with you for wasting time." Nerina came close to him and her brown dog-like eyes looked up like a dog's into his face.
On examining the creature he had killed I found it to be about the size of a spaniel, of a jet black colour, with the projecting dog-like muzzle and overhanging brows of a baboon. It had large callosities, and a scarcely visible tail, not an inch in length.
The Provencal lingered a while at the door. "How about the money?" he inquired, in dog-like submission. "Throw it to the bandits outside the door, Jacopo," said the sailor, despisingly. Jacopo took the money in both hands and scattered it in a large circle on the street. Howling, shrieking, and with a tremendous noise, the bandits fought for the booty.
He had schemed, suffered and murdered to put himself in reach of this glittering opportunity, and he would inevitably lose it unless he could find Sira. In the midst of his unhappy reflections he thought of Mellie. Sira knew well that Wasil adored her. He had for her the same dog-like devotion that Mellie had. She knew she could ask for his life and he would give it.
