So unexpected and startling was the shock that the reporter sprang from the car and in his nervous annoyance at once vented the hasty conclusion at which he arrived in the words: "I see; this is a trap, and you are a modern highwayman whose stunt will make good Sunday reading in cold print." He wore a sarcastic smile, and his sharp eyes gleamed like a ferret's.
There were cries of "Hold ye gab, little mon!" and the squire's voice, "That'll do, Mr. M'Adam!" The little man restrained his tongue, but his eyes gleamed like a ferret's; and the Master continued his speech. He spoke briefly and to the point, in short phrases. And all the while M'Adam kept up a low-voiced, running commentary. At length he could control himself no longer.
'You'd better not: that's all I can tell you! 'Precisely, said Mark; 'so I'll be quite frank with you beforehand. If you set your mind on it, I will take my call to the Bar. 'Will yer, though? That's very affable of you, now! 'Yes, I will; but I shall never practise; if Ferret's agent sends me this brief, I shall decline it.
"What do we care about trespass?" cried the horrible hag, Ciboule; "in or out, I will tear the chits of the factory." "Yes, yes," cried other hideous creatures, as ragged as Ciboule herself; "we must not leave all to the men." "We must have our fun, too!" "The women of the factory say that all the women of the neighborhood are drunken drabs," cried the little man with the ferret's face.
Some few minutes afterwards Little John exclaimed: 'Look out, you; ferret's out! One of the ferrets had come out of a hole and was aimlessly as it appeared roaming along the bank. As he came nearest my side, I got quietly into the ditch and seized him, and put him into a hole.
"And don't you remember," continued Sylvia, "that Fan was with us on the very, very day when darling auntie told us about the packet the day when you came out of her room with your eyes as red as a ferret's; and don't you remember how you couldn't help howling that day, and how far off we had to go for fear darlingest auntie would hear you?
Captain Crowe called out, "Avast, avast!" Tom Clarke sat silent, staring wildly, with his mouth still open; the surgeon himself seemed startled, and Ferret's countenance betrayed evident marks of confusion. The ostler moved nearer the chimney, and the good woman of the house, with her two daughters, crept closer to the company.
Hughes, an English friend of mine, has lived in France some five-and-thirty years without reconciling himself to being known as "Monsieur Ig." "Armand" might easily be Jean Ferret's translation of "Harman." Had he and Amedee in their admiration conferred the prefix because they considered it a plausible accompaniment to the lady's gentle bearing?
"Well done, Ciboule! you've rapped her coker-nut!" cried a voice. "Ciboule forever!" "Come out, you Devourers, if you dare!" "They have said a hundred times, that the neighbors were too cowardly even to come and look at their house," squealed the little man with the ferret's face. "And now they show the white feather!"
"I once knew a wretched village boy who had no legal father though his mother swore she had been married. His eyes looked like a hunted ferret's. It was through being shamed and flouted and bullied. The village lads used to shout 'Bastard' after him." It was then that the baying of the hounds suddenly seemed at hand. The large eyes quailed before the stark emptiness of the space they gazed into.
