But Margot noticed neither her nor Adrian, and sitting down upon the threshold dropped her chin in her hands and fixed her eyes upon the darkening lake. "Why, mistress! The beast here at the cabin, and it nightfall? My poor fowls!" "He's leashed, you see, Angelique. And I'll lock the poultry up, if you like," observed Adrian.
One of a pair of fleet bloodhounds which were ever leashed together was named Nich, and the other Syn, in memory that he had been betrothed on the festival of Saint Nicodemus and wedded on Saint Synesius' day.
In her eyes was the same expression of vague arrested horror as she looked out on that world of menacing imperfections the blind forces of nature and man had created; her body was instinct with the same nervous leashed impotent energy.
Ho, ho! his comrade hath found him again, the Artist and the Gravestealer leashed together! Conceive that fancy so nurtured by habit, those tastes, so womanized by indulgence, the one suggesting the very horrors that are not; the other revolting at all toil as a torture. But intellect, not all gone, though hourly dying heavily down to the level of the brute, yet schemes for delivery and escape.
The Friar strode forward, straining in his pace like a leashed hound; Martin and Hilarius following. Once he stopped and turned a stricken face on his companions. "What is that?" he said shrilly. A magpie went ducking across the road, and Hilarius crossed himself fearfully. "Let us make haste," cried the Friar when they told him; and so at full pace they came to Bungay town.

And then as he, the husband, had opened the door, they had stopped speaking, their words clipped as if a sword had fallen between them. At the same moment a servant had brought a lamp into the twilit room, and Jacques had seen the ravaged face of Commander Dupré, a fair, tanned face full of revolt and of longing leashed.
His expression was melancholic, his manner depressed. He was leashed to a vile white dog, loathsomely fat, fiendishly ill-natured, gloatingly intractable toward his despised conductor. At a corner nearest to his apartment house the dogman turned down a side street, hoping for fewer witnesses to his ignominy. The surfeited beast waddled before him, panting with spleen and the labour of motion.
