"Happen it's lonesomeness as drives him here so much." And happen you were right, charitable Jim. "Best mak' maist on it while he has it, 'cos he'll not have it for long," Tammas remarked amid applause. Even Parson Leggy allowed rather reluctantly, indeed, for he was but human that the little man was changed wonderfully for the better. "But I am afraid it may not last," he said.
In any case, muzzle, ears, and nose should be black, with black round the orbits, and extending upwards between them. Size is a quality very desirable in this breed. The height of many dogs of olden days was from thirty-two to thirty-three inches. The height should be obtained rather from great depth of body than length of leg. A leggy Mastiff is very undesirable.
"I could not marry any woman who did not fulfill those conditions. But, as I have said, I am not in love with Agnes Campion and it wouldn't be of any use if I were. She is as good as engaged to Larry West. You remember West?" "That thin, leggy fellow you chummed with so much your first two years in Queenslea? Yes, what has become of him?"
There was more than one white face among the women at the top of the slope as they watched the crowd blundering blindly down the hill. There were more men than Parson Leggy, the squire, James Moore, and the local constables in the thick of it all, striving frantically with voice and gesture, ay, and stick too, to stem the advance. It was useless; on the dark wave rolled, irresistible.
He was a magnificent creature, sixteen and a half hands high, and built on the same grand scale; perhaps a bit leggy for the huge barrel that topped the limbs; that was what caused him to go wrong in his younger days. His black skin glistened in the noonday sun.
He's abnormally big without the slightest suggestion of being either too big or awkward. He's simply magnificent. Most men of that size are just leggy and gawky: he is neither. Again, other men built as he, are usually rather brainless and weak, or probably made so much of by women that they become wrapped up in themselves, and are always expecting admiration.
I ought to mention, however, that the class of mules on which this experiment was tried were loose, leggy animals, such as I have heretofore described as being almost unfit for any branch of Government service. But, by all means, let the Government abandon the American pack-saddle until some further improvements are made in it. Now, as to the weight a mule can pack.
The Stone bulldog made a picture of good-humored British stolidity, and if his hind quarters had been equal to his superbly massive front and marvelously "smashed-up" face he would have been tolerably sure of a win in any class. The Dandie Dinmont had the most delightful eyes imaginable, and was a good-bodied dog, faulty only in tail and in a tendency to be leggy.
The domestic cat always looks as if half his tail had been taken off in a trap. The domestic dog is the Asiatic, not the European dog, a leggy, ugly, vagrant, uncared-for fellow, furnishing a useful simile and little more. Weasels, squirrels, polecats, porcupines, and other small animals exist in numbers, and the mermaid, of the genus Halicore, connects the inhabitants of the land and water.
Martin asked. "Yeah, a guy I met Patrick O'Shaunessy." "Patrick O'Shaunessy?" "Yes." "I'll be damned. I met him the other day." Patrick, she thought. Martin reminded her of Patrick; that's who it was. More people arrived. A soprano sax joined the piano. A man with gray hair set up a drum kit. Joe Burke stood near the piano with a blonde leggy, like me, Willow thought, but better looking.
