The handsome patrician, a little too proud of his rank, his magnificent garments and accoutrements, his virile beauty, stands fronting the spectator in a dress of crimson and gold, wearing a plumed and jewelled hat, which in its elaboration closely borders on the grotesque, and holding a hunting-spear.
Snatching the Gallic mantle from the Christian's hand, she threw it over her own shoulders, exclaiming: "How the ruffian will wonder when, instead of the living woman, they bring him a corpse wrapped in his barbarian's mantle!" She pressed the hat upon her head, and from a corner of the room where the brothers' weapons stood, selected a hunting-spear.
At eight o'clock in the evening it was rumored that more than seven friars, proceeding from neighboring towns, were assembled in the convento to hold a conference. On the following day, Tandang Selo disappeared forever from the village, carrying with him his hunting-spear. L'Espagne et sa, vertu, l'Espagne et sa grandeur Tout s'en va! Victor Hugo
I was not present on that occasion, but I have frequently admired the pluck of the Shooli natives, who attack every animal with the simple hunting-spear, which of course necessitates a close approach. On 30th December I went out with a few natives on the Fabbo road, simply to shoot in order to procure meat for the camp.
All the Nymphs and Oreads too Who, the mountain pathways o'er, Swift-foot Artemis pursue, All to swell the concourse, pour, Brandishing the hunting-spear, Set to work, glad shouts uprise, 'Neath their axes' blows so clear Crashing down the pine-wood flies.
