"They've given him nothing," the Banker muttered to himself; "the heavy-headed brute won't try a yard. But he'll fight the boy when he tries to ride him out." The whisky that Dixon had surreptitiously given Lauzanne had been as inefficacious as so much ginger beer; and in the race Lauzanne drew back out of the bustle and clash of the striving horses as quickly as he could.
Just look at it." It was grand. Level, russet here and there, heavy-headed, wide as a lake, and full of multitudinous whispers and gleams of wealth, it stretched away before the gazers like the fabled field of the cloth of gold. "Oh, I think I hope we'll have a good crop, Tim; and oh, how good the people have been to us!"
Four dogs a brace of setters of the light active breed, one of which will out-work a brace of the large, lumpy, heavy-headed dogs, one red, the other white and liver, both with black noses, their legs and sterns beautifully feathered, and their hair, glossy and smooth as silk, showing their excellent condition and a brace of short-legged, bony, liver-colored spaniels with their heads thrust one above the other, over or through the railings, and their tails waving with impatient joy occupied the after portion of the wagon.
Back rode the Tollivers and Devil Judd never opened his lips again until he was at home in Lonesome Cove. June was sitting on the porch when he walked heavy-headed through the gate. "They've ketched Rufe," he said, and after a moment he added gruffly: "Thar's goin' to be sure enough trouble now. The Falins'll think all them police fellers air on their side now.
The hard weariness of work and the easy weariness of wine had made them so heavy-headed that their slumbers were not disturbed by the sound of footfalls, though the footfalls echoed strangely loud in the lonely deserted place-the footfalls of a woman, swift and impatient, the footfalls of a man swiftly pursuing.
And, even as a little while back she had followed the heavy-headed and ungainly bull-dog, so now Lady Calmady, in her trailing, black, velvet dress, silver candlestick in hand, followed this radiant, fleet-footed creature, whose every movement was eloquent of youth and health and an almost prodigal joy of living.
As one officer, to whom only one woman was given, asked for more, the king called him an ingrate, and ordered him to be cut to pieces on the spot; and the sentence was, as Bombay told me, carried into effect not with knives, for they are prohibited, but with strips of sharp-edged grass, after the executioners had first dislocated his neck by a blow delivered behind the head, with a sharp, heavy-headed club.
"Time you was learning something about camping out," declared the cowpuncher, "and I'll teach you. Take this ax and gimme some wood, pronto!" He handed over a short ax, heavy-headed and small of haft. "That bush yonder! That's dead, or dead enough for us." Plainly Jig was in awe of that ax. He carried it well out from his side, as if he feared the least touch against his leg might mean a cut.
The wheels and sides were brown with mud, and the two horses were reeking and heavy-headed, as though their journey had been both swift and long. A man wearing a plumed hat and enveloped in a riding-coat had stepped from the carriage, and then, turning round, had dragged a second person out after him. There was a scuffle, a cry, a push, and the two figures had vanished through the door.
At the door he turned and, coming back to me, said in a whisper: "I sleep lightly and I shall have my pistols with me. I won't feel so heavy-headed when I get out of this mummy smell." He too, then, had shared my experience of drowsiness! I asked the Nurse if she wanted anything. I noticed that she had a vinaigrette in her lap.
