A couple of setter puppies were worrying each other on the sofa beside him, and a splendid fox-hound leaned her muzzle on one of his broad knees, and looked up into her master's face with sad reproachful eyes. She was evidently jealous, and watching anxiously for some look or word of favor. She had not long to wait.
I don't know which, if either, of these objects the fox-hound master thought of, but he said 'Well, lead on, and he let go Noel's ear and Alice snuggled up to Noel and put her arm round him.
At the same moment the cannon of the British ship, with a terrible thunder, sent a devastating volley upon the deck of the Fox-Hound, veiling her in a cloud of smoke. As soon as it lifted, the pirates were seen standing as if dazed by the thunderbolt which had fallen upon them. The deck was strewn with mangled corpses, the black flag was shot from the mast.
There is, however, a practice which fair sportsmen will never resort to the use of a beagle to start a hare in order to be run down by a brace of greyhounds, or perhaps by a lurcher. The hare is not fairly matched in this way of proceeding. occupies an intermediate station between the beagle and the fox-hound.
"What on earth are you goin' to cut timber at this hour for?" "Oh, I feel like it, that's all. I want to try my strength."

To see her sitting in the stable-yard on a sunny morning, her lap full of nozzling fox-hound pups, was to have a vision of Artemis Eileithyia.

Beside and over her stood Frodsham of the stables, and his underlings, firmly her friends. She looked up, beaming.
The pirates, with a last outburst of daring, began to urge the Fox-Hound toward the Swallow, and had almost succeeded in reaching it with their grappling irons, when a third volley echoed on the air. The main-mast was shattered and fell with all the rigging, into the sea. They were lost. They could fight no longer.
"The one at which you have been looking steadily for half an hour, the sail appearing yonder on the horizon." Barthelemy now, for the first time, noticed a vessel whose outlines had blended with the ship seen in his dream, and which seemed to be swiftly approaching. "Oho! Off with the Fox-Hound!" he cried. "Forward, my lads!"
Then through the drifts they had fought their way, till in the moment of their despair the dogs came upon them. "We thought they were wolves," cried Marjorie, "till one began to bay, and I knew it was the fox-hound. And then I was sure that you would not be far away.
