How is he young, that tamed old Phoebus youth? But arrowes two, and tipt with gold or lead, Some hurt, accuse a third with horney head. No nothing so; an old, false knave he is, By Argus got on Io, then a cow: What time for her, Juno her Jove did miss, And charge of her to Argus did allow. Mercury killed his false sire for this act, His damme a beast was pardoned, beastly fact.
"I've had a clane strike here the base is worth fifteen," chuckled Black Tom in Pete's ear as he drove the cow in to a shed beyond. "I must be buying another cow in place of poor ould Horney," whispered Cæsar as he dived into the cattle stand. "Strike up, Jackie," shouted Pete. "West of the mine, The day being fine. The tide against us veering."
Being back to back with Kate, he could keep his countenance. "This old Horney is terrible for switching," said Kate, over her shoulder. "Don't you think you could hold her tail?" That brought them face to face again. "It's so sweet to have some one to talk to about Pete," said Kate. "Yes?" "I don't know how I could bear his long absence but for that." "Are you longing so much, Kate?"
Kate was suddenly radiant. She kissed Horney, and hugged her calf in the adjoining stall; and as they crossed the haggard, Philip carrying the pail, she scattered great handfuls of oats to a cock and his two hens as they cackled their way to roost. "You'll be sure to come again soon, Philip, eh? It's so sweet to have some one to remind me of " but Pete's name choked her now.
"When a man's card comes to be of use to him, the thing's done. He's living in his villa by that time, and has his five thousand a-year out of the profits." "I hope you'll both have your willas before long," said Brown, trying to keep his partners in good humour. "But a cottage horney will be enough for me. I'd like to be able to give my children their bit of dinner on Sunday hot and comfortable.
I have called them the horned Lizzard. they are about the size and a good deel the figure of the common black lizzard. but their bellies are broader, the tail shorter and their action much slower; they crawl much like the toad. they are of brown colour with yellowish and yellowishbrown spots. it is covered with minute scales intermixed with little horny prosesses like blont prickles on the upper surface of the body. the belley and throat is more like the frog and are of a light yelowish brown colour. arround the edge of the belley is regularly set with little horney projections which give to those edges a serrate figure the eye is small and of a dark colour. above and behind the eyes there are several projections of the bone which being armed at their extremities with a firm black substance has the appearance of horns sprouting out from the head. this part has induced me to distinguish it by the apppellation of the horned Lizzard.
"If you'd seen me at the fair you'd have said, 'That man's got the inside of a limekiln! Aw, no, Grannie, I'm not letting my jaws travel far. When I've got anything before me it's down same as an ostrich." Going away in the darkness, he heard Cæsar creaking up in the gig with old Horney, now old Mailie, diving along in front of him. Nancy was waiting for Pete at Elm Cottage.
"I see," muttered Mr Cupples. "This'll do no longer. The laddie's gaein' to the dogs for want o' bein' luikit efter. I maun be up the morn. It's thae wimmen! thae wimmen! Puir things! they canna aye help it; but, de'il tak' them for bonnie oolets! mony's the fine laddie they drive into the cluiks o' auld Horney.

A man in a gig came driving a long-horned cow in front of him. Driver, horse, gig, and cow were like animated shapes of dust, but Pete recognised them. "Is it yourself, Cæsar? So you're for selling ould Horney?" "Grieved in my heart I am to do it, sir. Many a good glass of milk she has given to me and mine," and Cæsar was ready to weep. "Going falling in fits, isn't she, Cæsar?"
