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.
When ferreting always be careful how you set your nets, and be extremely quick on the Rats when they bolt, for sometimes if they get back they will face the ferret before they will bolt again; then the ferrets kill them under the floors, and this as in the case of poisoning them is liable to cause an abominable smell, more especially where heat is near.
No, he must give it up, and the ferrets' breakfast-hour must be postponed. Possibly Harvey might be able to think of something. "Fed 'em?" inquired Harvey, when they met at breakfast. "No, I couldn't." "Why on earth not? You didn't oversleep yourself?" Renford poured his tale into his friend's shocked ears. "My hat!" said Harvey, when he had finished, "what on earth are we to do? They'll starve."
And if I were he I wouldn't give you any money for those ferrets if you spoke like that. This reminder was not lost upon Justin. 'Pat's all right, he said. 'He wants the little beasts too, don't you, Pat? turning to him. Pat murmured something, though not very clearly, to the effect that he didn't mind, Jus was welcome to the money. Then another thought struck Archie. 'I say! he exclaimed.
My sole sources of pocket-money were the sale of holly-berries for Christmas festivities; florists used to send carts from Dublin and pay as much as three shillings per load and a royalty of a penny per head which I used to collect from rabbit snarers who worked with ferrets.
Mix the bread and milk with a little hot water, stir well with a spoon or squeeze through your fingers, so that the ferrets will have to eat it where you feed them; if not they will carry the large pieces of bread that are wet into the corners of the sleeping place, which would soon cause that part of the hutch to smell very sour and become injurious to the health of the ferret, especially where four or five are kept together, as they are of a very perspiring nature.
He tugged at the handle, but not an inch or a fraction of an inch would the door yield. The policy of the Open Door had ceased to find favour in the eyes of the authorities. A feeling of blank despair seized upon him. He thought of the dismay of the ferrets when they woke up and realised that there was no chance of breakfast for them.
Baron de Coutelier often went and dined with his friends, as much with the object of telling them of the shots he had made, as of anything else. He had long stories about dogs and ferrets, of which he spoke as if they were persons of note, whom he knew very well.
"We want to give the defence a fair run like gents, you know; but any gent would draw the line at shimmering poplars." "Well, hang it all," said Moon, in an injured manner, "if Dr. Pym may have an old friend with ferrets, why mayn't I have an old aunt with poplars?" "I am sure," said Mrs. Duke, bridling, with something almost like a shaky authority, "Mr. Moon may have what aunts he likes."
In several parts of the peninsula in Portugal, in the Asturias, and near Cartagena were mines of gold and silver, which had been worked by the old Phoenicians and which the Romans had reopened. The chief trouble of Spain, it may be interesting to learn, was the rabbits, and against these there were no guns and no poison, but only dogs, traps, and ferrets.
