"Wait until we hunt the buffalo! that wakes up the spirit of man!" "But I am not a man, and you must excuse me from hunting buffalo," I could not help saying, as I slid out of the grapevine chair to the grass, beside Saul; for verily, I believed that he had forgotten that I was a woman, and a child of the Puritans. No more words were spoken until our repast was over.
But the great coach can not go." "Then let them take my light hunting chaise, and attach four of my best coursers. In ten minutes I must be in the carriage."
Such truly is not the customary manner of the natives to dispose of their enemies. Wonderful forbearance indeed, and disregard of the traditions and superstitions of the tribes must it require, to allow an enemy, when it can be prevented, to step upon the happy hunting grounds, bearing the unviolated honors of his head."
He might have spent his days in playing polo, hunting and collecting specimens of animals. What he did during his life, in adding to men's knowledge of the habits of animals, would have gained him an honorable place in the history of American science, if he had done nothing else.

She feared to find it empty, to discover that the mason had gone to the city, in which case she should have to follow him and go to the trouble of hunting him up.
'You can get one for thirty shillings. We'll get one when we're in London. They're just as useful for women as they are for us, you know. 'Why, of course they are, if they hunt, said Temple. 'And we mustn't lose time, I drew him to the point I had at heart, 'for hunting 'll soon be over. It 's February, mind!
Snow covered the Green Meadows and the Green Forest, and ice bound the Smiling Pool and the Laughing Brook. Reddy and Granny Fox were hungry most of the time. It was not easy to find enough to eat these days, and so they spent nearly every minute they were awake in hunting.
