His fishing-rod and basket were in the same condition; and Bravo, his fine hunting-dog, which was very much averse to a life of inactivity, made use of his most eloquent whines in vain. At last Frank's health began to fail rapidly.
What! that bird which makes its nest in a semi-circle when it is attaching it to a wall, which builds it in a quarter circle when it is in an angle, and in a circle upon a tree; that bird acts always in the same way?

At a sharp turn he came suddenly upon a cleared space shoring along the water's edge, lit by a blazing camp-fire.

The man strode into the group and said with quiet courtesy: "Good evening, gentlemen.
My kind friend and hospitable host Dr. Burton also sent home a specimen from the Gold Coast east of Accra. Mr. MacLennan gave me sundry beetles, but insisted on retaining one which is the largest I ever saw. The hunting-dog must scour the bush in packs, for the voice is exactly that of hounds. The laugh of the hyæna and the scream of the buzzard are commonly heard.

"You will get accustomed to see her under the aspect which alone she can hence forth bear to you: that of a handsome girl there are thousands such in Egypt, and the betrothed of another." "Certainly, if my heart were like a hunting-dog that lies down the moment it is bid," said Philippus with a scornful laugh.
He went and came on foot, on horseback, in a carriage, by water; he was at all auctions and timber sales in Paris, thinking of everything, keeping hundreds of wires in his hands and never getting them tangled. Quick, decided in his movements as in his ideas, short and squat in figure, with a thin nose, a fiery eye, an ear on the "qui vive," there was something of the hunting-dog about him.
