The banks of the river were a deep and silent jungle wherein all manner of wild beasts and birds were hunted; its bosom was the vasty deep out upon which our cherished argosies were sent.
The camp was located on an island in a remote corner of the swamp that Marcy had never seen before, although he had hunted through the country for miles on every side of his mother's plantation.
More than a thousand of the mutineers were killed near the gates of the town; nearly a thousand more were tried and executed; and those who attempted to escape the vengeance of the merciless pasha and fled for safety to the wilderness, were hunted down like beasts by the roving Bedouins. Though order was now restored, it was no easy matter to obtain camels.
Say no more, master, for on my word our case is about the same; and if I must die, I had as soon do it in good company, and for reason, as be hunted like a rat through the hovels of yon townlet." Selred smiled and shook his head at Erling when we went back to him, but I could see that he thought no less of the Dane for standing by me.
I bethought me of the quiet Miss Williams, and hunted her up in her shop. She was quite willing to come, and saw how she could get out of the rent; but the difficulty lay with her stock. This sounded formidable at first, but when I came to learn that the whole thing had cost eleven shillings, it did not appear insurmountable. In half an hour my watch was pawned, and the affair concluded.
Perhaps she recalled the days of her power with a pang of regret when her friends had fallen one by one at the scaffold, and her husband, hunted and deserted by those he tried to serve, had died by his own hand, in a lonely cell, to escape a sadder fate; while she was left, after her timely release from prison, to struggle alone in poverty and obscurity, for some years painting water-color portraits for bread.
Hunted and catched a fox with these, Lord Fairfax, his brother, and Col. Fairfax, all of whom, with Mr. Fairfax and Mr. Wilson of England, dined here. 26th and 29th. Hunted again with the same company. Dec. 5. Fox-hunting with Lord Fairfax and his brother, and Colonel Fairfax. Started a fox and lost it.
Paulus, who once overheard us, warned me against her, and as I had long thrown away the pipe and hunted beasts with my bow and arrow whenever my father would let me, I was with her for shorter intervals when I went to the well to draw water, and we became more and more strangers; indeed, I could be quite hard to her.
And then he remembered the porter, who stood suggestively attentive, words of gratitude hanging on his lips. John hunted right and left; he found a coin prayed God that it was a sovereign drew it out, beheld a halfpenny, and offered it to the porter. The man's jaw dropped. "It's only a halfpenny," he said, startled out of railway decency. "I know that," said John piteously.
What of that shrinking girl who had stepped out of the sheltered life, strong only in her untried honesty, to become a hunted, harried thing, juggling with honor and reputation, in her heart a half-formed fear that she might kill a man this night to gain her end? The elements were moulding her with irresistible hands.
