The young man would not agree to this, but the sailors, being in fear of their lives, made him do as the step-mother had suggested. Maiden Foxtail was dressed out in the finest manner with red rings and a gold girdle, but the young man was ill at ease, and could not forget what had happened to his sister.
The Foxtail, moreover, is a spreading grass. Some of its stems are prostrate; they do not stand upright but creep along the ground. From these prostrate stems fresh roots grow and produce fresh plants. Thus Meadow Foxtail makes a good sward. Another useful grass is Cocksfoot. Each culm has four or five thick clusters of spikelets growing on small stalks of their own.
"Wait a moment," said Mads, "thou shalt first promise me but it is no matter, it is not very likely you'd keep it though should you now and then hear a pop in the heather, don't be so hasty, but think of to-day and of Mike Foxtail." Turning then towards the traveller, "Does your horse stand fire?" said he, "Fire away," exclaimed the latter.
Master himself then shot; that had some effect; it just grazed the skin of his head: and then only, having first wrapped something round it, he took up his little rifle that lay on the ground, turned towards us, and said, 'Now, my turn is come, and if you do not see about taking yourselves away, I shall try to make a hole in one of you. Such for a chap is Mike Foxtail."
"Poor little Snow-white! once on a time you lay on blue silk cushions. Now you must lie on grey ashes. Ah! my poor brother, who is in the lions' den. Shame on Maiden Foxtail! she sleeps in my lord's arms." Then it went on "Alas! poor me! I shall see thee no more." Then it caressed the little dog, and the dog returned its caresses.
The king turned to his mother-in-law, and said "Some one should reward my tale. I should like to know what punishment the taking of such an innocent life deserves." The false hag did not know that her own treachery was aimed at, so she said boldly "For my part, I certainly think she should be put into boiling lead." The king then turned himself to Foxtail, and said
Many and various as the breeds of men, or the trees of a forest, were the stalks that made up that greenish jungle with the waving, fawn-colored surface; of rye-grass and brome-grass, of timothy, plantain, and yarrow; of bent-grass and quake-grass, foxtail, and the green-hearted trefoil; of dandelion, dock, musk-thistle, and sweet-scented vernal.
On the Hot Creek, White Pine, and Golden Gate ranges we find a still hardier and more picturesque species, called the foxtail pine, from its long dense leaf-tassels. About a foot or eighteen inches of the ends of the branches are densely packed with stiff outstanding needles, which radiate all around like an electric fox- or squirrel-tail.
Man say me I can get Askatoon by dat time from here, if I go queeck way across lak' it is all froze now, dat lak' an' down dat Foxtail Hills. Is it so, ma'm'selle?" "By the 'quick' way if you can make it in time," she said; "but it is no way for the stranger to go. There are always bad spots on the ice it is not safe. You could not find your way." "I mus' get dere in time," he said desperately.
Ah! my poor brother, who is in the lions' den! Shame on Maiden Foxtail! she sleeps in my lord's arms." "Alas, poor me!" continued the duck, "I shall come here only on two more nights. After that I shall see you no more." Then it caressed the little dog, and the dog returned its caresses. After a little while the door opened of itself and the little bird went its way.
