This is remarkable for a noble appearance; but its most striking characteristic is its magnificent horns each of which is four feet in length, sweeping widely outwards in an elegant spiral curvature. The koodoo loves the shade of the forest, and especially delights to dwell on the banks of rivers taking freely to the water and swimming well. The Gnu next merits attention.
Boosey's; and yet D'Orsay Firkin smiled to himself as he told Mrs. Gnu it was her turn. "I wonder, my dear Mrs. Potiphar," said the Sennaar Minister seating himself by her side, as the game went on, "that Europeans should have so poor an idea of America and Americans, when such crowds of the very best society are constantly crossing the ocean.
Old Gnu says that it's true Polly's mother didn't marry her, but she did marry herself, to me. "Do you really think, Paul Potiphar," said he, a few months ago, when I was troubled about Polly's getting a livery, "that your wife was in love with you, a dry old chip from China?
Gnu, "that if she once got a good hold of any hand, she wouldn't let it go immediately." "Good!" shouted Mr. Boosey. "Hi! hi!" roared Mr. Potiphar. The Pacha took snuff placidly, and said quietly: "You've fairly trumped my trick, and taken it, Mrs. Gnu." "I should say the trick has taken her," whispered Mr. Firkin at my elbow to Kurz Pacha.
Kurz Pacha showed them to all the ladies at table, and then handed them to Mrs. Potiphar, saying to her, as he half looked at Mrs. Gnu: "There is nothing autumnal here." "Mrs. Potiphar thanked him with real delight, and he turned toward Mrs.
Then for "gin-sling" he read "gunning," and "gun sing," and "grinning," all of course to be abandoned in their turn. Submitted to an expert, the elegant lines were pronounced to be unmistakably, "Key of wine closet. Recase pat on gnu eing," not a highly intelligible letter of instruction.
Young America sniffs and shakes its little head, and says disapprovingly, 'Strong-minded woman! But you fail, you know, notwithstanding. You couldn't bring old Potiphar to his knees when he first came home from China, and he must needs plunge in love with Miss Polly, whom you despised, but who has certainly profited by her intimacy with Mrs. Gnu, Mrs. Croesus, and Mrs.
I had outgrown my childish taste for the hyena, the gnu, and the anaconda; I was indifferent to the india-rubber man; nor did I care much for the beautiful bare-back rider who was to flash through the hoops like a meteor through the orbits of the planets; but I did long to steal one more look, unseen, unsuspected, at the sweet face which was lovelier to me, even in its anger, than any other.
Gnu, with dignity, "I didn't suppose I was to be insulted at your table." And she went toward the door. "Mrs. Gnu, Mrs. Gnu," said Polly, smothering her laughter as well as she could, "don't go. Kurz Pacha will explain. I'm sure he means no insult." Here she burst out laughing again; while the poor Sennaar Ambassador stood erect, and utterly confounded by what was going on.
Gnu looked rather angry still, although Gauche Boosey tried very hard to console her, saying as many bon mots as he could think of and you know how witty he is. He said at last; "Why is Mrs. Gnu like Rachel?" "Rachel who?" asked I. I'm sure it was an innocent question; but they all fell to laughing again, and Mr. Firkin positively cried with fun. "D'ye give it up?" asked Mr. Boosey.
