But he had scarce time to give utterance to his fears; for the next moment the tree gave way with a crash, and fell to the ground, bringing the Bushman down among its branches. It happened that the tree, dragged down by the elephant's trunk, fell towards the animal. Swartboy even touched the elephant's body in his descent, and slipped down over his hind-quarters.
The body of the ox killed by the lion was discovered about a hundred yards from the camp, a part of the hind-quarters only eaten, the brute having evidently been frightened away by the shot Hendricks fired, though whether it was wounded or not it was impossible to say. Although they had gone supperless to bed, so parched were their throats that they were unable to take any breakfast.
The nicest little rabbity things you ever tasted. Do look about for them. Make Mrs. Clare pick off the hind-quarters, boil them plain, with parsley and butter. The fore-quarters are not so good. She may let them hop off by themselves. Yours sincerely, The Northamptonshire peasant poet. He had sent Lamb his "The Village Minstrel, and other Poems." September 22, 1822.
The moment Mit-sah gave his order for the start, that moment the whole team, with eager, savage cries, sprang forward at White Fang. There was no defence for him. If he turned upon them, Mit-sah would throw the stinging lash of the whip into his face. Only remained to him to run away. He could not encounter that howling horde with his tail and hind-quarters.
He is somewhat large, perhaps, but he is throughout a hound of excellent quality and character, having a most typical head, with lovely eyes and expression, perfect front, feet and hind-quarters. Other judges would give the palm to Mr. Harry Rawson's St. Ronan's Ranger, who is certainly difficult to excel in all the characteristics most desirable in the breed.
"They have been scared by the critter," Jerry said. "Do you see their coats are staring. Gosh, look at this pack-pony the bear has had his paw on him!" The animal's hind-quarters were indeed badly torn. "I wonder how it got away," Harry said. "When a grizzly once gets hold, it don't often leave go." "There is something in front of the hut," Tom exclaimed.
The hind-quarters should be clad with long hair or feathering, from the top of the rump to the hock. COLOUR All whole colours are admissible, but they should be free from white or shadings, and the whites must be quite free from lemon or any other colour. A few white hairs in any of the self colours shall not necessarily disqualify.
It is true that the animals slain for the soldiers were not always fat and tender, nor did each of them have four hind-quarters. This last fact was the direct cause of a good deal of inflammation in the 200th Ind., as in every other regiment.
Slow-moving, country figures, passing vehicles, a herd of some eight or ten cows preceded by a diabolic looking billy-goat, and followed by a lad astride the hind-quarters of a bare-backed donkey grew out of pallid nothingness as the carriage came abreast of them, and receded with mysterious rapidity into nothingness again. The effect was curiously fantastic and unreal.
To complete the step, the hind-quarters have to be brought up the same distance. With this object, the front pads fill out and provide support, while those behind shrink and leave free scope for their segments to contract.
