"There's just one thing you can give me," he said, "that will make me willing to pull you out of the mud." "What's that?" Jimmy asked him. "Your left hind-foot!" Peter Mink told him. "I need a lucky foot. I'm always getting into trouble of some sort and a rabbit's left hind-foot would be a great help to me unless I happened to get stuck in the mud," he added with a sly smile.
Come on, you Levantine parasites! Don't think to enjoy yourselves up there while we're sweating down here!" The cluster shivered, as from hooked fore-foot to hooked hind-foot it telegraphed uneasiness. At last a worker sprang up, grabbed the lowest waxmaker, and swung, kicking above her companions. "I can make wax too!" she bawled. "Give me a full gorge and I'll make tons of it."
The other chief points of difference between the two are that the front of the Asiatic elephant is concave, while that of the African is convex; and the former has four horny toes or sabots on the hind-foot, where only three appear upon that of the latter. The enamel of the teeth presents still another proof of these animals being different in species. Nor are all Asiatic elephants alike.
Why does he not turn round? This would increase his radius; and he could reach then the food with his hind-foot and pull it towards him. The idea never occurs to him. Yet another animal deprived of reason. Friend Bull, my Dog, is no better-endowed, despite his quality as a candidate for humanity.
Cellini's hate of Vasari proves, also, that the Gossipy One stood well with the reigning powers, otherwise Benvenuto would not have thought to condemn his work and allude to the man as a dough-face, trickster, lickspittle, slanderer, vulture, vagrom, villain, vilifier and gnat's hind-foot.
She set up on the edge o' the bed, makin' wild stabs with 'er feet at 'er slippers, and lookin' wall-eyed an' scared. "'Pa, says she, 'this is one o' yore jokes. "'Joke a dog's hind-foot! says I. 'If you think it's a joke you jest step to that thar window an' look down at the peach-packin' shed. "Well, sir, you don't have to tell a woman twice how to verify an important report.
It was close to the end of the play, and for the tenth time Grey Dawn was bolting after the ball, when his near hind-foot slipped on the greasy mud, and he rolled over and over, pitching Lutyens just clear of the goal-post; and the triumphant Archangels made their goal.
But there would always be a limp in his gait, and always his right hind-foot would leave a peculiar mark in the trail. These two weeks of helplessness were an education in Peter's life and were destined to leave their mark upon him always. He learned to know Jolly Roger, not alone from seeing events, but through an intuitive instinct that grew swiftly somewhere in his shrewd head.
When these two requisites are wanting, the strongest giant cannot lift a two-ounce weight; when they are given, a bullock can take an eyelash out of its eye with its hind-foot, or a minute jelly speck can build itself a house out of various materials which it will select according to its purpose with the nicest care, though it have neither brain to think with, nor eyes to see with, nor hands nor feet to work with, nor is it anything but a minute speck of jelly faith and protoplasm only.
